Didn't Care to Adver,i.. Wealth,

One OF the wealthy residents In the
Wicker park district is a manufacture
er who from n street peddler worked
himself up into position and has ac-
cumulated money so that his neigh
bors estimate his wealth at about
$500. 900. Throughout his career he has
never learned to write and his figur-
Ing has been upon system peculiar
to himself. A few days ago some OF
his friends. in the presence OF a re-
porter urged the manufacturer to tell
some of his experiences so that an
article might be published about him.
Pulling out some old tax receipts
he said: ut might be nice to get my
name In the paper and writeup
which you think might help me so
cially. II you print. however. that

Frozen Fingers In Summer.

OF Denver physician came to the
office OF DR.. II. II. Martin recently

on Rollins pass and disrorted In the
snow until the train went to Arrow
head and turned on the wye" and
started back to Denver. II leaves the
passenger two hours and forty min
utes on the bleak top OF the pass and
all around Is a wide expanse of snow.
The temptation to make balls OF the
summer snow to pelt her companions
was too great to be resisted. and Mrs.
Rold enjoyed the novelty to the full.
When she boarded the train for home
she soon discovered her fingers were
frostbitten. Arriving in Denver her
hands were badly swollen and she was
driven at once to the office OF DR..
Martin.
The fingers OF the hands were swol-
len and the flesh had turned blue. The
pain was very severe. and 1t will be .

Rold can use her hands.-Denvei
