When Frederick built his famous pal
ace of Sans Soucl, there happened to be
mill that greatly hampered him In
the execution of his plans, and he ask
ed the miller for how much he would
sell ii. The miller replied that for Il
long series of years his family had
owned the mill, which had passed from
father TO son and that he would not
sell II for any price. The king used
every solicitation, offered to build him
mill In better place and pay him
besides any sum he might demand, but
the obstinate miller still persisted In
his determination to preserve the In
heritance of his ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct, the
king sent for him and said In an angry
tone:
why do you refuse to sell your mill
Notwithstanding all the advantages l
have offered you?'
The miller repeated his reasons.
"Do you know continued the king,
"that could take 1t without giving
you pcnny?"
Yes" returned the miller calmly, 'if
IT were not for the chamber Of justice
at Berlin"
The king was so fattered by this an

entreaty and changed the plan OF his

MAKING FORTUNES.

Fortunes have been made In the Chi

entered the market with n preconceiyed
theory as TO Its course, which they at
tempted to make good through thick
and thin, but rather by those who took
things as they came, watching the
drift, shaping their way from day to
day, like prudent merchants, according
TO the current.

but he called upon great packer with
whom he had n personal acquaintance.
Yes; the packer thought very well Of
pork-was buying 1t, In fact. Thus
doubly assured the young man bought.
The market went his way, and he
bought more. Then the market turned.
The young man reviewed his convinc-
Ing statistics, remembered the words Of
the packer and stood stubbornly upon
his line. When he was getting near to
the end of his margins, he was horri-
fled to learn that his friend the packer
had shifted to the other side Of the
market two weeks before. He visited
him, recalled their conversation and
explained the situation. The packer
stared. "Do you mean you've been
holding $500 barrels of pork all this
timer" he demanded. Yes" said the
young man, "and 1 have 1t yet. Now,
what can / do with it? i don't
know" said the packer, "unless you
can eat it."rWill Payne in Century.

Colonel Bin Sterrett used to tell
about man who went into the Indian
Territory to sell baby carriages.
Everybody said he was crazy. 1t was
admitted that there was a fine crop OF
babies in the territory, but no one
could see what the squaws, who were
used to packing their offspring on their
backs. could do with baby carriages.
Still orders began to come back, first
for dozens and then for carloads, and
finally Sterrett went up to investigate

1t WAS her first experience with

KNOWING FIRE HORSES.
How They Learn to Start With the
Jfgger and Get the swing.


The intelligence of fire horses Is well
known. A most knowing animal of
this kind is described by Sewell Ford
In Horses Nine" The author says of
him:
Other things besides mischief, how
ever, had Silver learned. Chief of these
was to start with the jigger. Sleeping
or waking, lying or standing. the sum-
mons that stirred the men from snor-
ing ease to tense, rapid action never
failed to find Silver alert As the hal
ter shank slipped through the bit ring
that same instant found Silver gath
cred for the rush through the long,
narrow lane leading from his open stall
to the poles, above which, like great
couchant SPIDERS waited the harnesses
pendent on the hanger rods.
Once under the harness Silver was
like II carved statue until the trip strap
had been pulled, the collar fastened
and the relns snapped In. Then he
wanted to poke the poles through the
doors, so eager was he to be off. II
was no fault of Silver's that his team
could not make n two second hitch.
With the first strain at the traces his
impatlcnce died out. A sixty foot truck
starts with more or less reluctance, but
when once the tires caught the car
tracks Silver knew what to expect. He
and his team mates could feel Lannl-
gan gathering In the reins as though
for full stop. Next came the whistle
of the whip. 1t swept across their
Hanks SO quickly that 1t was practical
ly one stroke for them all. At the same
moment Lannigan leaned far forward
and shot out his driving arm. Tho
relns went loose, their heads went for
ward and, as II moving on II pivot, the
three leaped as one horse.
Left to themselves, each horse would
have leaped at Il different instant. 1t
was that one touch of the lash and the
succeeding swing of Lannigans bulk
which gave them the measure, which
set the time, which made 1t possible for
less than 1000 pounds of horsefiesh to
Jump Ave ton truck up the street ut

Reading is to the mind what exercise

Books are the best things well used;

Some books are to be tasted, others
to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested.-Bacon.

ish If the books that are truly worth
reading were but read.-Dawson.
