HOW HE EARNED HIS FIRST no11.AR.

Someone once asked Senator Leland Stanford
OF California how he had earned his first dollar
lhe senator smiled and replied

an event III my life that has given me so much

mere were three brothers of us The eldest
was years OF age, the youngest was f. and was
the middle one, about years old at the time. NV
Iather was a contractor and was absent from home
great deal of the time, leaving the place in charge
ol the gardener, who went to the market at Schen-
ectady twice a week with a wagon load of vegetables
to sell at the market
One day my brother and myself gathered lot
OF horseradlsh i'll the garden, washed it clean and
sent 1t to market with the rest of the vegetables
When he came home at night the gardener handed
us SIX York shlllings which was the profit of our
produce and divided it evenly each of lis having
two shllllngs. That the first money | ever
earned and | never see boy trying to earn a few
pennies without feeling a renewed qualification at
my success III that endeavor.
My next financial enterprise" continued the
senator, was the following winter; perhaps It was
IN the second winter afterI don't recollect GER
taInly, but 1t was in 1881 1882. We boys we're in
the habit of gathering store of chestnuts every
fall and putting them in the garrett for winters
use.
we managed that year to get together about
i've bushels and that year chestnuts were very
scarce. One day our hired man told us a bit of
gossip that chestnuts were worth S. bushel IN
market. We talked the matter over and concluded
that they were too expensive for our use, so that
the next time the gardener went to town we put
what we had gathered in grain bags and sent them
in by him.
HE sold them for s. bushel and brought us
home $25, which you, perhaps can understand was
a large sum of money for boys of our age in those
days when grown men were working for two shil-
lmgs day. 1t was the most successful specula-
ton of my life"

THE CAUSE OF HIS WOE.

The small boy, Jack. was discovered by an
elderly friend in d street at the other end of the
city from that in which he lives. The tears had
left their marks on his cheeks and every now and
then sob still shook the little body; but he trudged
steadily on, without one backward look.
Hello, jackie! What's the matter!" asked the
friend, as the small boy tried to push past.
Il amt going to tell you" he announced, ram
ming his small fists into his eyes
"Certany not" acquiesced the old gentleman,
cheerfully. Beautiful morning for stroll, amt
