Carnegie find 1t so difficult to die poor.
One humble but promising imltator
has received the jolt early In his career.
however, and ii ought to serve as a
warning. The story Is this: There IL
a famous cafe In Gotham's all-night
district whose proprietor, inspired by
the preachlngs Of a certain dlstln-
guished individual to an antl-race
suicide campaign, a year or two ago,
offered prize OF $50 to every one OF
MS employees who should marry. La.
ter on the scheme seemed incompletc
and supplementary prize OF $25 each
was offered for babies. So far il has
been expensive, but the proprietor has
stuck to 1t heroIcally, animated by a
profound interest In the welfare Of
the race and sustained by the adver-
tlsing value Of the scheme. The cafe
has a chef, who by joining hands with
another employe. about year ago.
succeeded in dragging down double
prize money; but this was held to be
strictly legitimate, with profit left
over for extra advertising value. A
little while ago however the chef. fig
uring that he would need a little cx-
ira money about this time. thought he
saw chance to make 1t on the side.
So to the chef Of a rival lobster PAL
ace he offered to bet a substantial sum
that 1t would be a boy.
His friend, looking up a few statls-
tics, was a little more than willing
to bet even money that it would be a
girl. 1t isn't, it's twins, boy and
girl! The chef gets double prize mon
ey again and his employer promises
to throw in an extra $25 for good meas
ure. But the bet Is still undecided.
