TIE HI !STLERS.
An Incident showing How Quick on the
Trigger some Folks Are.

There are many people in very modest
business lines who are as alert to seize
opportunity as much to be admired in
their wayas are the bigger men of keen
discernment and vigorous enterprise hust- =
ling in wider fields; and these lesser men
may be more picturesque. For instance
On one Of the yacht race days, as will be
remembered there came on, in the middle
OF the afternoon a hurricane. with dark
ness and tremendous rain Just at the time
when the excursion boats were on the way
home from the lower bay. Here, now
as it chanced to come under the eye of one
observer, was one of these boats with her
green and red side lights lit and in fact all
her lights burning, in this midday darkness
az al night, tying up-n curious and inter
esting spectacle--at South street wharf
Along South street, deserted at the mo-
ment by all who could find shelter from
Z he pouring rain, came running. as this
boat neared its wharf, an umbrella vender
with bundle Of umbrellas under his arm:
one Of the men Of whom now so many are
TO be seen on rainy days in the city 3 s, reefs
There was gold mine for this man in
that steamboat with her side lights lit and
all her lamps burning on this tremendously
dark and rainy afternoon. if he could hit
the wharf before her passengers got away
and he got there all right, Just AZ the bo at
was making those few, last, slow turns
and half turns Of her wheels, before they
had finally got her made fast
When the passengers from this boat had
come to the street end of the covered wharf

halted, as they did. in solid mass. stretch
ing across Just within the entrance way to
wait until the rain let up little, the only
living thing they saw in the pouring rain
outside was that umbrella vender, standing
in the street waiting for them, with a big
bundle Of umbrellas under his arm and one
fair sample Of his wares raised over his head
Did he find a ready sale for his umbrellas,
this umbrella man? Well, well, well! II
was only a question OF how fast the UNI
brella man could make change. He sold
them to the last One-he didn't even keep one
for his own protection as he turned away
There, too, at that particular spot and
time, where the demand for their wares
was likely to be greatest, were the news
boys; selling papers with accounts Of the
races which the people now coming OF
the boat had seen and II great interest 10
them, for that reason; for people like TO
read Of anything they have themselves
Witnessed. And another person who dis
covered and seized the opportunity that
this rain-caught cargo of pleasure seekers
presented, was the cabman. He. like the
newsboy, is very fly, and never let's chance

There was here presented a graphic illus
tration Of the unfailng readiness of people
In at least three lines Of business to take
advantage Of opportunities, no matter
how suddenly or how Unexpectedly such
opportunities might spring upon them.
