MONEY IN "ODD JOBS"
PenniIess Bankrupt Who Is Becoming
Capitalist Through Them.

PenniIess Bankrupt Who Is Becoming
Capitalist Through Them.
Chicago possesses citizen who has
established unique line of business
that promises to land him among capi-
talists, besides making him the best
known man and the man most in demand
in the section in which he lives.
Two years ago this man failed. He
was in small business where he was
thrown into competition with concerns
with much money bShind them and he
went to the wall, losing everything he
had, including his home and fat build
ing which he had erected. Practically
penniiess and without any skilled trade.
with nothing open to him except some
clerkship, he set about hunting new
line of work-something that would sup
port himself and his family.
Winter was coming on. He began
doing "odd jobs" around houses of the
suburbanites until he could find some
thing better Then he was struck with
the possibility of making "odd jobs" a
paying line of business. He went down
town, interviewed the manufacturers OF
furnaces, and received instructions in
the management of hot air, hot water
and steam heaters.
For two weeks he studied furnaces.
especially of the type commonly used in
private residences in the neighborhood
in which he lived. Then he canyassed
the vicinity for blocks, offering to take
care of the furnaces, to save the house
owners coal, to keep the fire even, and
the houses warm, to empty the ashes,
and to clean all the snow from the
walks. He offered to do this fer So a
month per house, and the suburbanites
leaped at his proposal.
As soon Is he got control of fur
mace, he studied its peculiarities, the
drafts in the houses, figured the kind of
coal he would use, and then began, Civ
ing the satisfaction he guaranteed. He
started out at 5 a. m, made the rounds
of the houses, and reached his home
again by 8 in the morning. He fired up
again about noon, and again late in the
evening, shoveling snow in the intervals.
He found that, besides tending to the
furnaces, the householders often wanted
storm windows put on, or screens re-
moved. or some such work, and each lit
tie lob like that added materially to his
income.
Before Christmas he had 60 places on
his list, which meant $500 a month to
aim-and which forced him to employ
an assistant. In the meanwhile, he es-
tablished little mix route, selling milk
to the people for whom he worked, add
ing a little more to his income. Now
he has an income of nearly $4OO a
month and pays two assistants fair
wages.
In the spring he will establish a coal
business and make bids to supply his
customers with their coal for next win
ter.

Waltzing mice are curious and in

mouse and much more slender, says the

their bodies, and are clear white in the

Although they waltz sometimes as
long as five minutes without rest, they
appear never to get dizzy. They can,
if they choose, run in a straight line,
but they seldom do. Instead of rum
ming away when disturbed or fright
ened, they begin to waltz They come
out of their nests about sundown and
waltz until nearly midnight. Then
they go back to their nests to sleep.
One of the curious things tabout
them is their fighting. They waltz
until they run into each other. when
they bite, squeal, jump into the air
then start waltzing again. They keep
this up until they are seriously in
jured, sometimes having their tails
and legs bitten off and their skins

who long ago branded him for assas-
sinatiOn.
Grand Duke Sergius, seated III his
carriage, was driving from the histori-
cal museum to the kremlin Palace.
The royal carriage had just passed
the law courts and was approaching
the Nicolski gate, when two cabs,
driven at top speed, suddenly whirled
along in the wake of the royal equip
age. The cabs rapidly overlook the
Dukes conveyance, attracting little
attention, however. Just as the two
calls We're abreast the Dukes car
riage the bomb was thrown.
The deadly missile fell just be-
meath the royal carriage, eXplod-
ing almost the instant it touched
the ground The roar was deafening.
Police and soldiery reached the scene
to find the two men who are charged
with hurling the bomb wounded. A
mass of twisted, shattered wreckage
WAS all that remained of The Grand
Dukes conveyance, splinters of wood
and bits of steel having pierced his
mangled, torn body.
The Kremlin stands high above the
remainder of the city, and the eXplo-
sion of the bomb, spreading its death
and destruction, seemed to rouse
Moscow from end to end. Street
crowds formed i'm an instant, as if by
magic. Strikers and wOrkmen fought
the police and, hearing that death had
come to their 'evil genius" shouted
in glorificatiOn and made threats OF
attempting the delivery of the assas-
sins. Through street after street riot
ran as the news of the assassinat on
spread.
Troops We're deployed along every
approach to beat back the mobs. Ar
rests were made wholesale from the
first. Charges are made by the police
that students were behind the assaS-
sination conspiracy.
Four times within few mohths
Sergius' life has been attempted. He
was last shot at in the railway sta
ton at Moscow, being then i'll conf
pany with General Trepoff. Further
oppression followed this last attempt
on his life. This served to fan the
hotbed of anarchy that has formed
at Moscow during Sergius' regime

His arrest came about in curious
way. He went to New York and rented
a room of Mrs. Kimmerle in West For

Bartels. Two days later he asked her tc
marry him. Something caused her tc
think of the man whom she had read OF
in the papers as a multi-husband and the
face before her now impressed her as
bearing resemblance to the one she
had seen in the paper. She ran to the

picions. Officers We're dispatched to the
house and arrest quickly followed. Hs
was extradited and taken to Chicago,
where it was asserted he told the police
that he has married so many women he
had lost all count of the number. He
denied ever having poisoned any Of his
numerous wives.
