In the meantime, 1t is thought by
soma that as the county Owne two
business lots on south Main street 1t

MONEY WELL INVESTED.
How a Prosperous Woman Physician
Obtained College
EaucAtiOn.

The name of Rosa Weiss, says the
Washington Post, ought to be dear to
every ambitious American girl Not
content with the ordinary education
which she received, she was anxious
to get collegiate education, and one
day spoke to her brother about it. He
told her he could not afford to pay the
fees, but, taking a nickel out of his
pocket, he, jestingly, said: go on
that" Even jest will sometin es
serve as an incentive, and the girl took
her brother at his word. She took the
nickel and went out and bought yard
of calico. With it she made sunbonnet,
which she sold for quarter The quar-
ter she invested in more calico and more
sunbonnets. Then she sold them to buy
still more calico for still more sunbon-
nets. She also made aprons In this
way she soon had little pile of dollars
at her command. Her brother was SO
pleased that he gave her some land on
which, with the assistance of little boy,
she cultivated potatoes. In the first year
outof that little patch she made $40, and
as she got on she was able to pay her ex-
penses at the college by her exertions,
and she entered the women's medical
college at Baltimore, where she paid for
hertuition by nursing, and to-day she is
a physician with an excellent practice.
