"But, in these imperial days when

A historian recalls the fact that in

139 words and in his formal letter of
acceptance there were 1874 words. In
his speech Of acceptance to the com

1876 words. and in his letter of accept

remember that there were no typewrit-

The Way One Man Had a Fortune
Thrust Upon Him.. &f. f..

The Way One Man Had a Fortune
.~ Thrust Upon Him. @f.-.
A story IS told Of how the reluctant
giving of promissory note by penni-
less New York lawyer, brought q, for
tune into his pocket amounting to sew
eral millions. The man referred to,
John M. Bixby. went to New York in
1880 from a backwoods district as q
half starved lawyer. To pay 81 week
for board and washing kept him on the
verge of bankruptcy. He struggled on
for year or two and was constantly
seeking odd jobs outside of the law to
enable him to exist when a friendly
lawyer in whose Office he had desk
room called him aside one day.
Here is a chance for you. Bixby,''
said the lawyer. Il have an estate to
settle and must get rid of the farm on
the north side of the city. 1t is ap-
praised at 5000. You can have it at
that figure"
Il have not dollar to my name"
exclaimed Bixby.
