Buys Small Tractor Land.

Land was cheap in those days and It was
but natural that Brown should purchase an
acre or two of ground in the little town, and
afterwards build a house thereon. with
hard. unremitting labor and much self-sacri-
fee he paid for his property. and then be-
gan turning his attention to becoming some
thing better than q miner. Being well
thought Of in the town, he soon got chance
TO become laborer in the one lumber yard
OF the place, at q monthly stipend OF S25.
This was half OF what he was making as n
miner. and as he was now nearly 80 years
old, he wondered IL he could accept such a
small amount. But he did.
The lumber business requires much rnath-
ematical ability. II one wishes to become
more than a common roustabout. Brown had
no mathematical ability, SO far as he knew,
He was ignorant even OF the common prin-
ciples of arithmetic. He bought a small VOL
ume. however, and, with the help of small
schoolboy. went at 1t. Progress was slow
In the extreme. But, eventually, his native
talent came to his aid, and he began to see
the light in arithmetic, as well as In the lun-
Der business.
All this time Brown had been learning moro
and more about lumber. He cultivated the
customers OF the firm. and became popular
with them. His salary was increased from
time to time. and he attained to the dignity

that state was young. Not being educated,
he could not take q leading place among the
pioneers Of that commonwealth. For him
nothing but the mines offered a chance for a
livelihood. So into the mines he went.
In short time 1t became generally known
that Brown was counted the best miner in
the community. What was more peculiar.
he did not drink, saved n portion of his
monthly wages, and spent his evenings at
his boarding place. 1t was even whispered
around that he was n,student of Shakespeare,
which was fact.
