BY DOLLAR Man.
Twenty Wise Persons In Salt Lake
Receive Rewards for Their
Foresight.
SELL THE SUNDAY HERALD
VARIED EXPERIENCES ARE MET
ON THE TRIP.

|. 1t cost Robert Cowan of 635 South
Third West street just an even dollar
to start a fire in his kitchen range
yesterday morning. A dollar will not
buy a great deal of kindling. but ii
certainly win buy much more than
enough to start one fire. The trouble
with Mr.. Cowan was that he used two
pages of The Sunday Herald for his
IRE. If he had used some other pa
per he would have been dollar rich
er. The man called on him yesterday
morning.
Did Mr. Cowan have a copy of The
! Sunday Herald of Feb. %? Why, yes,
| he thought he had. And would he
/ take dollar for ii? Well. rather, es-
] pecially in view of the fact that he
could buy another copy for consider
a bly, less money. So he started to hunt
| up his paper. The comic section was
| there all right. So was the news sec
| ton. Alas the magazine section was
two pages short. Mr.. Cowan regretted
the fact extremely and wanted to know
when the dollar man would be around
again. Lightning has been known to
strike twice in the same place, but not
often does it happen.
The second distribution of dollars for
! The Sunday Herald yesterday was a
distinct, an unqualified success No
body who was entitled to the money
refused it, with perhaps one exception.
That one happened this way:
Mrs. Margaret Parry was alone in
her home at II North Fifth West
street when the dollar man called
There was complete copy of The
Sunday Herald in the house She was
offered a silver dollar for it,
The paper belongs to my SON." re-
piled the conscientious housekeeper. q
have no authority to sell it. He will
be in to dinner at noon and you can
see him then"
What the son thought when he re-
turned and heard the story might prove
interesting reading.
All Except Four Pages.
Mrs. Charles White of 534 West
Fourth North street knows what a
near-dollar looks like. When Mrs
day Herald she replied that she didn't
have it. It was her impression that
she had bought another Sunday paper
The distributor informed her of the
purpose of his inquiry and regretfuIIy
took his departure. He hadn't gone
fifty feet when Mrs. White hailed
him
L t.
said she. Back went the man with
the money. Mrs. White was mistaken.
She had all except four pages of The
Sunday Herald, and the coin clinked
back into the pocket of the distribu-
tor 1t was hard luck for Mrs. White,
but she'll save the next copy of The
Sunday Herald she gets until Monday
night at least.
Mrs. w J. Kemp, wife of the sta
CrlQr1ln of no at or -nTsI-C rY-f-
ment, had seen the announcements of
the distribution and had told Mr..
Kemp she intended to save her paper.
The husband didn't take more than a
laughing interest in the matter.
It's only some kind of advertising
game" he said. You'll never get a
dollar out of it. Why go to the trou-
bic of saving the paper?"
Nevertheless Mrs. Kemp did go to
the trouble. When the dollar man
called at the Kemp home, SCI West
Second North street, she was ready
for him. And she did not attempt to
disguise her joy over the prospect of
joking her husband
He has been taking The Herald for
on I know he'll believe everything he
sees in IT.
Dollars for the Children.
Mrs. L. Frost, who lives at 621 South
Third West street, and whose husband
is a boileTmaker in the Rio Grande
shops, was busily engaged in her house
hold work when the dollar man ar
rived She wasn't sure she had all OF
the paper, but she would look. In q
moment Mrs. Frost came smiling She
had a complete copy of The Sunday
Herald and she thought The Herald
was generous to give her a dollar for
1t. The money will be put in a saw
ings bank for one of the small Frost
children.
The dollar was a happy surprise for
Mrs w R Watson of 42S West Fifth
South street. She found the paper all
right, but feared that a very small
piece torn off the corner of a page
might deprive her of the money Mr.
Watson was until recently one of the
foremen in the city sprinkling depart
ment. He is now doing teamlng work
on his own account
Mrs. NJ. Horkin, whose husband is
employed by the Morrison-Merrin
Lumber company, and who lives at 135
South Fourth West street, didn't have
a great deal of faith in her prospects
of landing one of the dollars. Mr..
and Mrs. Horkin have a bright young
daughter, however. Miss Ethel. Miss
Ethel was away at school yesterday
morning, but she hdd folded up the
paper carefully and had left word with
her mother that if the dollar man hap
pened around she was to let him leave
the money for her. Something, per-
haps the girls faith, drew the dis
tributor straight to the HOrkin home.
AS a result Miss Ethel has a little pin
money of her very own.
Comes at Good Time.
"a dollar seems q good deal of money
to me-" said Mrs. John Q. Smith of
81 North Fifth West street. Mr.. Smith
has not been regularly employed for
some weeks. He was not at home YES
terday morning and Mrs. Smiths pleas
ure I'm the happy surprise she was go
ing to give him was beautiful to be-
hold. The picture was worth more
than any silver dollar that has been
coined In twenty years.
