A TALE OF BONANZA DAYS.
How a Chance Remark of james
Flood Ruined His Gardener.

In the old days of excitement when
mining stocks were on the jump and
men became millionaires over one day
dabbllLc an incident occurred ut the
country residence of James G. Flood in
Mcnlo when fairly well TO do farmer
found himself without home III the
short period of one week The mans
name was Hank. and, being first
class gardener, he READILY found EN-.
ployment about the residence OF the
wealthy owners Of mansions. In this
way he was employed at the Flood
residence. Hank was lettering about
the garden one Saturday evening rs
the proprietor, in company With a Wis
itor, was looking over the stock.
Mr. Flood, who had Just stepped out
OF the hog corral. casually remarked to
his friend that he would be willing tc
make Il bet that Con would go up tC
800 before Christmas" Hank con
strued Con to mean Consolidated
Virginia. ana taking the tip which Ii,
thought wot.ld make him n millionaire
he disposed Of his holdings of 300 acres
of fine land his stock and. in brief
everything be had on earth except his
wife and four bright little Hanks. The
proceeds lie invested in Consolidated
Virginia stock, which was then selling
at $40 share
christmas came, but instead of Con
going up to $500 It fell TO $50 The
man was pauper. In lnmentlng his
loss he incidentally mentioned to Il
friend of Flood how he lost his all.
Flood. who was generous TO a fault,
sent for Hank and had him repeat Ills
story. When he learned Of his chance
remark about ton going mp to 300
before Christmas" he fairly shook with
laughter and explained what il meant
1t was in reference TO the gift Of Il
young SOW, made . present to him by
Goa O'Connor. who in the fun Of the
thing had called the pig Con. The bet
alluded to the sow's increasing in
weight to 300 pounds before Christmas
and not TO Con Virginia.
Having enjoyed the joke and after
joshing Hank. the noble hearted Flood
bought back the ranch for Hank ara
recompensed him for all his losses
The originality of the joke and the
knowledge Of the penalty paid by an
eavesdropper were Floods reward
