Get Hls Revenge.

With all OF his knowledge and tai
ent Lord Brougham was eccentricly
slovenly In his personal habits.
While he was q young and compara-
tivoly unknown barrister he was
asked 10 . dinner at which the prince
regent presided. Mr.. Brougham's
hands needed washing. The regents
keen eyes rested on them. He beck
oned TO q waiter and gave an order
which the man heard with q scared
face. and then going out he speedily
returned with q ever full OF water,
soap and n towel.
He carried them 20 Breugham, pre-
senting them zith the prince regents
compliments The barrister instant
ly withdrew and never aiterward re-
ferred TO the insult.
Years later, when the prince. now
king, tried 10 divorce his wife,
Brougham. as her defender. so vehe-
mently sustained her cause that she
-trumphed. The king s name vas not
mentioned during the trial. though
the nation knew that he was secretly
the prosecutor. Brougham in his
speech declared that he saw in the
distance the namsless prosecutor Of
his innocent client. quoting with
terrific effect Millions words;

Fierce a. ten furies, terrible as hell,

George Nv. felt seriously this
savage attack. The nation sided
with the queen. and her defender
had paid his debt with interest.

was pulled out of the debris with

experiences.
He went back to his mother. While
recovering from his injury he attended

students shoulders and drove Kim back
to the earning of living, just as he
was lightning to rejoice in his school

No longer content to work amnesty
at one job and another, Douglas now,
set about learning the boot and shoe
business from bottom to top, in all It's
branches. From town to town he
worked his way. studying the METHODS
of each shop until he had mastered
every rudiment Of his chosen profession.
Lure OF. the Golden West.
Bv the spring Of 1865 he felt ready to
start in for. himself Like nahy an
other ambitious boy, at that time he
fancied the future was brighter IN t1e
new West than nearer home. so to
Denver he went, carrying along his

as needful in Colorado as in Massa-

took the first work that offered. The

not very congenial position of day Ia

| Not exactly a brilliant fulhlment of
the golden promise of the West, nor a
direct advancement toward success in
the shoe trade. But Douglas went on
the principle that success consists less
in holding a good hand than in playing
poor hand WE'LL
Working hard and spending little, he
at last saved enough to travel to the
town of Black Hawk, where. he had
heard, lived one Zepheniah Myers, one
of the most skilled bootmakers In
America. From Myers the young man
learned the finishing touches that spelled
perfection in his trade, and he soon
acquired so wide a reputation in the
same business as to outstrip his tutor.
Douglas and another man formed
partnership and started a. fiourishing
boot and shoe store at Golden City.

her sons. Douglas heard the call and

means Of increasing it more rapidly.
The method he chose was extensive
and unceasing newspaper advertising.
From the first the plan was success.
1t has grown more and more renunera-
tive each year.

] much better. And for many reasons.
IN the first place, a newspaper advcr-

the sheet Is opened. The same adver-
tisement WOULD lie hidden among the
pages of magazine until the reader
found his way to it, If he ever did.
The busiest mans eye will be caught
and his attention held by sigh. of a
strong advertisement in his daily raper.
Whereas that same busy man might not
find time to go laboriousy through all
| the advertisements OF magazine.
Then, too. practically every man
reads newspaper. Every man does
not read magazines: Take village, for
instance. where the one local newspaper
has perhaps zoo readers. If l put IN
advertisement in that paper, go people
are going to see it. No one magazine,
nor, for that matter, all the magazines

Good Reason for Capt. Rascomb's In

When Capt Bascomb had left his.
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting ON the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb.
that her husband was very deaf, al

sure" said the school teacher. But

. Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to-
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it."
he said, hurriedly He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as.

Leaving Home.

A man from Maine left home with
$l65 in his pocket. He went to pur-
chase drink. This was three weeks
ago and the supposition is that he got
what he went after, at least once!
There have been times when an indi.
vidual who desired drinks has had
difficulty in securing it, but no man
with $165 in his pocket ever set out
determinedly to satisfy his craving for
a high-ball but sooner or later reached
the bar. That the Maine resident has
not returned. is further evidence that
this statement is true. He may have
had to go a long way for the stimu.
liant, but he viii come home some day
with the fire of success in his eye and
three months overdue haircut on
his head. but he will have had that
drink. There is no use in trying to
legislate liquor away from man with
$165 and a thirst.
