A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
20 It's inventor.
'"The luckiest invention In history
said a patent official, twas that OF
barbed wire. It came about by acci-
dent.
Isaac L. Ellwood was the inventor
Of barbed wire. In his youth he lived
In De Kalb, Ill. and, having a neighbor
whose pigs trespassed on his garden.
he put up one day a wire fence of his
own make. This fence had barbs and
points on 1t. 1t was queer and ugly,
but 1t kept out the pigs.
"It was a real barbed wire fence,
the first In the world. and there were
millions of money in 1t, but young ELL
wood and his friends laughed at Its
freak appearance. ........
'AOne day two strangers saw this
fence. perceived how wen 1t kept out
the pigs. realized how cheap It was
realised. in a word. its value-and or.
dered several tons Of 1t from Ellwood.
Furthermore, they contracted to sell
for a term Of years all the barbed wire
he could produce.

q little factory. A few years later on
he had paid back that loan and was
worth small matter OF $4,000 900

But these are matters for the league
directors to settle, and they are NO
doubt equal to the task. Another
matter which would be we'll for them
to go over carefully is that of sche-
dule. The one the first year, drawn
up by James J. Griffin of this town,
was very good. and far superior to
the one used this year, which was
prepared by N. P. Dempsey of Mon
SON. The greatest fault Of Mr.. Demp-
sey's schedule was that it left open
dates for only two clubs on the same
day, and these were of little use in
playing off postponed games, as it
would rarely happen that the clubs
who had games to be played off would
have an open date at the same time.
Thus it was that only two clubs this
year played the full number of sche-
duled games. while some had as many
as four games postponed and unplayed.

A REWARD OF FAITH.
The Story of Church Twice Struck
BY Lightning.

ne 0tory OF n SuuFCu bWtGo 0kTo0N
BY Lightning.
A congregation in a hilIy district ~
Ohio, says the Youths Companion,
bought a small tract of land and
erected church building upon 1t.
Then the question of insurance came
up. Mr.. Sipes, the wealthiest member,
who had contributed more than half
the money needed for the new struc-
ture, declared that he did not believe
in insurance. "rhis is the Lords
building. He'll take care of It," he
said.
His view prevailed, and there was
no insurance. In few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected, Mr.. Sipes con-
tributing the greater portion of the
fund as before. This time the demand
was almost unanimous that 1t be In
sured, but Mr.. Sipes again objected
on the same ground.
"If 1t burn down again, brethren"
he said, "I'll agree to rebuild 1t my
self"
Again he carried his point. In less
than q month the new church was
struck by lightning again, and al
though strenuous efforts were mace
to save it. the loss was almost total.
There must be some reason for
this, brethren" said Brother Sipes. II
am going to find out what 1t is"
Thereupon he employed force of
men to sink n shaft on the site of
the twice destroyed church. Within
few days a rich vein of ore was
found, and the church property was
sold for many times the amount
needed to buy land In another locality
and build again.
Il tell you, brethren" said Brother
Sipes, lit pays to trust the Lord. He's
great deal better business manager
than anybody in this congregation"
