THE BLUFF WORKED
SHREWO TRICK az WHICH MER.
CHANT GOT A START.
His Offer Of Gift Of 5000 Organ TO
Church Established His Credit
A. q Good Man to
Tie To.

There Is prosperous merchant In
Chicago to-day who owes his success
to his donation of a $1,000 organ to a
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy a hand organ.
This donation was q case of bluff. pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth of
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capital to
start in business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking of he
could not borrow the money he
needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the in
clinatiOn to lend 1t and had been
turned down, he conceived the idea of
presenting his church with an organ
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The
manufacturers of the organ never
thought Of questioning the financial
standing Of the philanthropist who
was handing out $1,000 organs. and
agreed to have the instrument set up
In the church on time
OF course J. Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficence under q bush
Ell. He managed to bring in at least
the flute stops no matter what the sub
ject Of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally
pleased congregation spread the news
of his gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member of the congregation
about some minor detail Of the organ
he would drop into an office. and be-
fore he left casually would mention
the subject Of the company he was
forming. Most of the men that he thus
saw thought 1t would be a good thing
to be associated with q man who was
making 50 much money that he was
able to hand out $1,000 without miss
ing it, so that all were anxious to take |
stock in J. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the |
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his |
business and was doing SO well he had |
no difficulty in borrowing the amount |
needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money so fast |
that now he could give away several |
IS. 1000 organs and pay for them as
we'll.

PeWs with Privileges.

Are you aware" said the antiquary,
that there are certain church pews
to which the contribution basket is
never passed."
NO"
1T is a fact. These pews are In
certain old Episcopal churches In
Philadelphia, in Boston, and in a mum
Der of New England villages.
They have been rented on non,
contribution-basket basis for a couple
of centuries. In the past, it is said,
men slept in church: they even played
ecarte or draughts there. and the ad-
vent of the contribution basket would
have been an amazing interruption to
them. So for a very much higher
rental they obtained pews that the col
lectors ignored These pews In
churches that like to keep up the
quaint customs Of the past are still
maintained"

Whereas, Rev. L. r. DeWolf has

there is some thought of his being as

to the Columbus charge. should not be

the change.
