Luck Versus Ignorance.

'The luck that attends some men is
remarkable" said a well known Stan
ford man the other day during dis
cussion of college life. Il can remem-
Der with great vividness an incident of
my early college days that showed me
that it is better for some men to be
born lucky than with the proverbial
silver spoon.
"At the time 1 speak Of this man
was bothering the life out of me for
place on the staff of the college week
ly, of which 1 was the manager. Just
to get rid of him 1 told him to go and
hunt up the owners of a new crema-
tory that had recently been built not
forty miles from the college. Well, he
disappeared for a couple of days and
then showed up, and with look Of
triumph in his eyes presented to me
for my signature contract for a $500
'ad.'
I landed the crematory people, he
said with chuckle.
And he did, but his 'crematory' was
a milk and cream depot in San Jose"

Edison'S First Check.

Thomas A. Edison not long ago told
friend the story of his first acquain-
tance with any big sum of money. 1t
was when he was struggling with his
earlier invention, and he had about as
clear an idea of the value of a bank
check as. the man in the moon. He
had finally sold his patent on the gold
and stock Indicator to the Western
Union Telegraph Company and had
called at it's office to close the deal
After few preliminaries he was given
a check for $40, 900. He eyed it curious
ly and appeared to be puzzled what
to do with it. Observing his perplexity,
General Lefferts, then president of the
Western Union, told him that if he
would go to the Bank of America on
Wall street he could get the cash on
his check.
$50 l started" said Edison. after
carefully folding up the check. and
went toward Wall street. So uncer-
tain was 1 in regard to that way Of
doing business that 1 thought while
on the day, that if any man should
come up to me and offer me two crisp
thousand-dollar bills for that piece Of
paper L would give him the check very
quickly"
On his arrival at the Bank of Amer
lea, he half tremblingIy showed his
check cut to the cashier. The latter
scrutinized it closely. gave him a pierre
ing glance, and said something which
Edison, being hard of hearing. failed
to understand. That was enough. He
was fully convinced that his check was
not worth 10000 and again thought.
as he rushed out of the bank, that
any man who would give him $1,000
for II could have it, He hurried back
to the office of the Western Union and

Costly YioIins.


The test of the auctiOn-rOOm is stili
antagonistic to the exaggerated prices
which the violin fanciers would have
us believe show the true worth of old
violins. Some excellent specimens were
sold last week and they were nearly all
purchased by dealers, so that their
authenticity may almost be taken for
granted, but e200 was the highest price
secured. This was gained for a Joseph
Guarnerius of 1871, while a Jerome
Amau with certificate by the renowned
authority, Josef ChanOt) fetched s1OO, an
A. and H. Amati Of 1880 went for e95 and
some excellent old fddles fetched a lit
tie over ESQ each. / sometimes wonder
that ordinary purchasers do not buy
more at these sales, where, although no
great bargains are likely to be picked
up-for the dealers would not allow a
violin to go to an outsider for much un-
der its trade worth-yet the prices are
very greatly below those asked in the
shops, and are, OF course, almost trivial
compared with the figures quoted by
some Of the collectors. The $4,000 fiddle
is in fact a myth. Nothing over $1,000
has ever been knOwn.-LOndon Truth.

All Right in the End.

The road is rough and the day is cold.
And the landscapes sour and bare,
And the milestones, once such charming
friends.
Half-hearted welcome wear.
There's trouble before and trouble be-
hind,
And a troublesome present to mend;
And the road goes UP and the road goes
down,
But it all comes right in the end.
The heart is sick and the heart is sore
For heart to call its own;
And we scramble hard for the precious
crumbs
Amongst the heaps of stone,
For loves love, and mans man,
Our COLDS gold would we spend;
And the heart goes up and the heart
goes down,
But it all comes right in the end.
The road goes up, and the road goes
down
To desolate depth below,
And there's never a shred OF the mean
est robe
On the naked ones to go.
There's q heaven above, and God OF
love,
And Father who will fend-
And life goes up, and life goes down
But ii all comes right in the end.

Last of the Terorists.

The anniversary of the Paris COM
mune of 1871 was duly celebrated on
Wednesday. March 16, by the survivors
of that once dreaded institution, who
marched in procession to the Federal
lists wall at Pere la Chaise Cemetery
and placed immortelles and red flowers
on the graves of those who were exc
cuted by the Versailles troops under
the command of Marquis de Gallifet.
Everything passed off very quietly.
Henri Rochefort was a prominent fig
ure with his snow-white locks. The
group had the appearance of an assem-
bly, Of venerable, highly respectable, re-
tired officers. 1t is instructive to note
the changes that have come over the
communists, who thirty three years
ago nearly succeeded In burning Paris.
Paschal Grousset, who was the COM
mune's Minister of Foreign Affairs, is
a Conservative Republican Deputy and
is known to thousands of French and
English speaking boys as the author of
books of travel and adventure under
the pseudOnyme Of Andre Laurie. Other
survivors are Jules Meline, ex-Prime
Minister, whose Repubiicanism has a
strong tinge of Clericalism; NJ Clemen-
ceau. now Senator; NJ. Lockroy. ex-
Minister of Marine: M. Barrere, the
French ambassador at Rome, and
Henri Bauer, the dramatic critic.

Not SO Formal.

John Ellsworth, Superior Judge Of
Alameda County, is nothing if not fully
imbued with judicial dignity when pre-
siding in his court. But off the bench
Judge Ellsworth enjoys a bit of joke
as well as any of his fellowmen. His
particular JOY is Ray Baker. his clerk.
Baker is not always appreciative of
the exalted office that his Judge oc-
cupies-that is when his Honor is not
o. the bench
The elderly Judge and his volatile
clerk are boon companions. Daily they
lunch together at the Athenian Club
in Oakland. At table the other day, in
hearing Of several lawyers, merchants
and men about town, Baker leaned over
and spoke to his Honor.
Now, john" said the clerk conf
dentially.
"See here, Ray" interrupted Judge
Ellsworth. Don't call me John.

Ounce of PrevcHtiOH.

"An ounce OF prevention is worth a
pound Of cure" says the old saw. Cap q
Elihu Blank, who holds the stern oar
in one of the lfe-saving. boats not a
thousand miles from here, is nightly
of the same opinion.
Capn Elihu had the misfortune re-
Gently to have all of his upper teeth
knocked out by a clumsily handled oar
and he had to HE himself to a dentists
ivory foundry and have a nice plate
made for his upper jaw. Within a
week after he had acquired his bogus
mOlars something happened. While the
crew of his boat was practicing the
drill out in the briny waves where the
boat is overturned and it's crew given
a swing under water before the craft
is righted, Cap'n Elihu lost his teeth
Thirty plunks gone!
Cap'n Elihu had to have the teeth
so he went down and purchased a new
array. Then an idea penetrated his
cerebrum. The next morning, before
the crew went out upon their weekly
practice Cap'n EIihu might have been
seen busily threading a string through
the hole In the roof of his new plate.
When he took his seat in the stern of
his boat the teeth were in their place.
