ing the story of his needle and thread
capital"
Seventy-six years ago, when Parme-
lee was II years old and living with
his parents at Byron, n. Y, he decided
to leave home. The family was poor
and the boy considered himself old
enough to make his own livelihood.
His parents granted their consent re-
luctantly, and the son arranged for a
Job" in a stage coach office at Erie,
Pa. He was not concerned as to the
manner in which he was to reach that
point because his future employers
were willing to transport him most Of
the way and he could walk if he had
to. The day Of his departure his moth
er babe him good-by in this fashion,:
Franklin, l wish your father was
able to give you a little money to start
on, but you know he hasn't got it. Now
then, Franklin, your mother, who
thinks a good deal more of you than
you ever imagined, is going to give
you bit of advice and something else
with it, and she wants you to treasure
both of them.
above all things l want you 10
take a great deal of pride in yourself
and just make up your mind that you
are going to be successful. And you
must always keep neat and clean and
keep your clothes in good repair and
don't let the buttons come off or else
you won't respect yourself. Now then,
I'm going to give you a reminder"
The mother held out her hand and
young Parmelee reached for the "re-
hinder" 1t was q spoo. of black
thread with needle stuck through it
crosswise.
The boy kissed his mother and put
the thread and needle ia his carpet
bag. Then he started out for Erie.
He afterward went to work on the
lakes, saved money, started a street
car line in Chicago and later engaged
in the express business.

Comparing these figures with the

HAS THE SPIDERS TRAITS.
Curious Plant Found In the Cape Negro
Colony in Africa.

Curious Plant round IN the cape Negro
Colony in Africa.
One of the most curious plants in
the world is one described by travel
Prs recently returned from the Cape
negro colony, little known region Of
Africa, and called the spider plant.
these travellers often heard from the
natives Of plant that was part
spider and that, growing, threw its
legs about in continual struggles to
escape 1t was the good fortune of
DR.. Welwitsch to discover the origin
Of the legend. Strolling along through
4 wind-swept tableland country, he
came upon a plant that rested low up
On the ground, but had two enormous
leaves that had twisted about in the
wind like serpents-in fact, it looked,
IS the natives had said, like a gigan-
lic spider.
Its stem was four feet across and
but foot high. 1t had but two leaves
In reality, that were six or eight feet
long, and split up by the wind so that
they resembled ribbons. This is prob
ably the most extraordinary tree
known. 1t grows for nearly If not
quite a century, but never upward
beyond about foot, simply expanding
until 1t reaches the diameter given,
looking in its adult state like a singu-
lar stool on the plain from ten to eigh.
teen feet in circumference.
When the wind came rushing In
from the sea, lifting the curious ribbon
like leaves and tossing them about. II
almost seemed to the discoverer that
the strange plant had suddenly be-
come imbued with life and was strug-

and picture Of the plant was sent to

disconnected look, which she met by one
of determination. He tried to laugh off
the effect of her words, but the laugh
was a woful failure. What fool |

He looked more aghast than ever; then
he broke out into strong anathemas
against Montgomery, against whom he
vowed the most deadly vengeance
Montgomery has served me well, and
| dare you to harm him in any way"
she said, in the same tone of calm supe-
riority. "Do so, John Rodwell, and be-

into a passion. You have fallen into
the trap, and you will never get out of
it by beating yourself against the bars"

HE CAME TO VISIT.

~N~~~O~ONSNO~NONON%
Mr.. Stoggin likes to spend his sum-
mer vacation in some quiet country
place with his wife and children,
where he can get good country fare
and decent boating and fishing. The
farm Of his cousin, says the Chicago
News, just answers that description.
1t naturally follows that Mr.. Stoggln
and his family have been Hospitality
entertained there for several seasons.
OF course the cousin was cordially in
vtted to return these visits, and when
Mr.. Stoggin received word that his
cousin was coming he was really
pleased.
1--WE must give him a good time"
he said to Mrs. Stoggin. You know
he told us that he hadn't been in Chi
cago for fifteen years, and then only
stayed over night. l guess he'll want
And" he added, "by the time he gets
through he'll know more about Chi
cago than l do myself after lifetime
spent here"
In the course of a few days the
cousin arrived and received a hearty
welcome. He came on the evening
train, and was conducted to Stoggin's
house, where good dinner was
spread, with candles on the tables and
the solid silver in use. The evening
passed pleasantly. Before they retired
Stoggin touched on the subject of en-
tertainments.
Nov, Jim," he said what do you
think you'd like to do tomorrow"
"We-ell, I dunno, exactly" said the
cousin, doubtfully.
1--WE got to be at the office myself"
continued Stoggin, but Bessie, here,
will be glad to take you round What
do you say to the stock yards?"
The cousin smiled. Il came here

How about the museum?"

Stoggin. How would that strike

"See here, Thomas" said the cousin,
"if you want me to have good time,
don't you entertain me. l never was
much of a hand at sightseeing. 1t
fuckers me clear out. l didn't come
to Chicago to see the sights; 1 come
to have visit with you"
He stayed a week, and except that
he went down town one afternoon
md bought some toys for the children,
he hardly stirred out of the house.
Mrs. Stoggin declares that it was
great disappointment to her not to get
chance to see something Of the city.

First Jewelry Store.

It may interest women to know that
the first jewelry store was started in
the city of Chang On about 5000 years
ago. The celestial Vanderbilts and As
tors of that period knew nothing of the
fascination of diamonds, because dia-
monds were not in vogue at that B.
C. period. Pearls and jade and coral
and other unpublished mineral sub
stances had to content them, and if to
make good glitter of rivieres and tiaras
the princess OF Chang On employed ar
tisans to fashion them the most won
derjul gold and silver ornaments,
which in themselves were far more
costly than diamonds.-Boston Herald.
