That Was Enough.

II is related by the Earl of Var
mouth that on one of his yachting
cruises he took great liking to an
old sailor whose principal duty was to
see that the paint everywhere was in
first-class shape. One day the earl
saw jet of water shoot up from the
sea.
"a whale" said the old sailor, and
sure enough the great creature was
seen in a minute.
''Did you ever see a sea serpent,
Walker?" asked the earl.
The old fellow paused In his work
and said:
eyes, my lord, saw one oncet. We
had started home from Jamaica with
cargo of rum. and
GO back to your painting" said
his lordship. .

for she had carried no insurance
She borrowed money from friends
and opened another house for dodgers
and when it was running well, she
sold out her interests in 1t for 81, 500
This suggested scheme to her. and
she entered regularly into the bust

with roomers and then selling out.
At the end of few years she had
$4,000 in bank. Her next success
full venture was as a whole buyer
and shipper of fruits. II was Mrs
Warren who sent to eastern markets
