Burns Best Poem.

1t is said that a boy was cncc asked
in the poets presence which of Burns
works he fixed best. After taking
thought with himself for little he de-
clared that he liked "Thc Cotter's Sat
urday Night" by far the best, "al-
though" he added it made me greet
lcry) when my father babe me read it
to my mither.'
This statement seemed to impress
Burns, for presently he said TO the lad,
"Wccl, my Gallant boy, it made me
greet, too, more than once when l was
writing it by my fathers fireside."
There is an old superstition that it
brings good luck to find four-leafed
clover. The superstition is founded,
first, on the rarity of the specimen; but
chiefly on the fact that the four leaves
are arranged in the form of cross.

Pooh Bah of Tobacco.

The fact that the Duke tobacco en-
pire has grown from a very small seed
does not signify that any other boy
should or could go and do likewise.
Only one man at time can be presi.
dent of the United States. Only one
man can be the Pooh Bah of tobacco.
James 3. Duke began his career
shortly after the close of the civil war.
when the era of gigantic trade devel-
opment began. He was born on a
threadbare old farm near Durham.
n. c.. fifty years ago. His father was
Washington Duke, who opposed seces-
sion. but was conscripted into the Con
federate army and served throughout
the war Before going into the army
he sold his farm to n neighbor. to be
paid for in leaf tobacco at the close of
the war. But the neighbor was as
poor as Duke. so the latter got his
farm back. Tobacco was about the
only thing he could raise on the land
With capital of so cents and two
blind mules Washington Duke began
raising tobacco and manufacturing il
for the local trade The first factory
was shabby old barn on the place.
That was the humble birthplace of
the S40O,000.OO0 trust. James B.. the
youngest boy, started in the tobacco
line when he was eight years old as
helper to his father.

TO do everything possible to help his
business along.
Mr.. Duke is not a high roller. Tie
never had time even if he had the in
clination. which apparently he hadn't.
He was so busy building up his to-
bacco empire that he never had time to
marry until he was fOrty-eight years
old. Then he evidently lacked the time
to consider the step thoroughly, for he
found it necessary only nine months
later to sue for divOrce-aDd for the
best of reasons. He married Mrs. Lii
Ian n. McCredy. a grass widow. in the
autumn of 1904 and divorced her the
next summer. Now Mr.. Duke. ii is ru
