began using Peruna for these cases and

RUINED BY CHANCE REMARK
Gardener Working for James C. Flood
Beggared Himself Through
Imagined Tip.

In the old days of excitement,
when mining stocks were on the
Jump and men became million
aires over one days dabbling, an
Incident occurred at the country
residence of James c. Flood, in
MenlO, when a fairly well-to-do
resident found himself without q
home in the short period of one
week, relates the San Francisco
Call. The mans name was Hank,
and, being a frst-class gardener,
he readily found employment
about the residence of the wealthy
owners of mansions. In this way
he was employed at the flood resi-
dence. Hank was lettering about
the garden one Saturday evening
as the proprietor, in company
with a visitor, was looking over
the stock.
Mr.. Flood, who had just stepped
cut Of the hog corral, casually re-
marked to his friend that he
would be willing to make a bet
that econ would go up 300 before
Christmas. Hankconstrued 'con"
to mean consolidated Virginia,
and, taking the tip which he
thought would make him n mil
l%iOnaire, re disposed of his hold
Ing of 959 acres CT fine land, his
stock, and, in blief. everything he
had on cortA except his wife and
four bright little Fanks. The pro
ceeds he invested in Consolidated
Virginia stock, which was then
selling at $50 a share.
"Christmas came, but instead
Of "Con" going up to $500 it fell to
$25. The man was a pauper. In
lamenting his loss he incidentally
mentioned to a friend of Floods
how he lost his all. Flood, who
was generous to a faGlt. sent for
Hank and had him repeat his
story. When he learned of his
chance remark about econ going
up 300 before Christmas" he fairly
shook with laughter and ex-
planned what it meant.
1t was in reference to the gift of
a young sow, made a present to
him by "Con' O'Connor, who, in
the fun of the thing had called the
pig Soon" The bet alluded to the
Sow's increasing in weight to 300
pounds before Christmas and not
to Con. Virginia.
Having enjoyed the joke and
after josHing Hank the noble
hearted Flood bought back the
ranch for Hank and recompenseC
him for all his losses. The orig
inality of the joke and the knowl
edge of the penalty paid by al
eaVesdropper was Floods re
ward.
