LITTLE GIRLS STOCK DEAL
They Disposed of Shares for Big Prize
Before Break

They Disposed of Shares for Big Price
Before Break
A story told at Union Pacific head
quarters shows that the children of
w. Fl. Bancroft, the new general man.
ager of that line, seem to have inner
tied some of their fathers business
sagacity, says the Omaha correspond
ent Of the New York Herald.
Mr.. Bancroft's daughters, aged 10
and IL years, were visiting him at his
Office in Salt Lake City one day. A
man came in who desired to sell their
papa some mining stock. Mr.. Bancroft
did not take kindly to the proposition,
but after the man had labored some
time with the general manager one Of
the little girls spoke up and said:
Papa, l wish you would buy some
of the stock for me; the mine has such
a pretty name"
The other little girl chimed in at this
juncture and expressed a desire for
some of the certificates on the same
grounds-that the name appealed to
her.
The father responded that If they
were willing to give up their savings
they might be the proud possessors Of
to do and the deal was made. One Of
the children secured 500 worth and
the other 500.
Time wore on and both children and
the father had forgotten the stock deal,
when one day a man appeared at the
house and stated that he had come to
buy the stock in case the owners were
willing to part with it. They both con-
sidered the matter and talked it over
between themselves, finally deciding
| that they would not sell for the price
offered, which would net them about
$3.50 each.
In a short time another man appear
ed on the scene and tried to buy the
stock at $3.50, but both girls refused
the offer. A week later an offer Of $500
each was made by the same man.
When the last offer came a long con-
sultation was held and decision was
reached to sell. The buyer paid the
money and it went into the girls bank
accounts.
A few days later Mr.. Bancroft spoke
of the stock, it having been brought to
his attention in some manner at the
dinner table, saying:
81 see by the quotations that the
stock you bought in the mine that day
at my office is worthless. The vein has
played out"
Eyes, but, papa" responded both Of
the girls in chorus, "we have sold out. ~
Great was the amusement Of the
father when he learned of the transac'
ton which had taken place about two
DAYS before the mine was declared
worthless.

"Please explain" pouted Polly.

only this morning." I replied nonchal

Polly was looking straight ahead OF
her with flaming cheeks and swapping
eyes.
"And, as I remarked to you,"
went on, slipping my arm across tbs
back of the sleigh and glancing side

Polly didn't even notice my arm. Al

ror who'd gainsay the little sprite?
Flease-Will you read to me to-nightp''
Read to you, Little one9 why, YES.
what shall 1t be to-night7 You guess
You'd like to hear about the bears.
Iheir bowls Of porridge, beds, and
Well, that you shall. There, that tales
done! :"
And now-"You' like another oneP"
tomorrow evening, Curly Head:
It's "hass-pass sevenw OF to bed!
So each night another story
Wicked dwarfs and giants CORY.
Dragons fierce and princes daring.
Forth to fame and fortune faring,
wandering tots, with leaves for bed,
Houses made of gingerbread,
witches bad and fairies good,
And all the wonders of the wood.
Il like the witches best" says she.
Who nightly nestles on my knee.
But why by them she sets such store
psychologists must puzzle Ger;
Her likes are mine, and agree
With all that she confdes in me.
And thus we travel, hand In hand,
The stored roads of fairyland.
An, little one, when years have fed,
And left their silver on my head,
and when the dimming eyes Of age
With difficulty scan the page,
On you I'll turn the tables then,
For l shall put the question, when
! borrow of your better sight:
Please-will you read to me tonight p
