One Mans Fortune From the Price Of
Q Pair Of Shoes.
Some years ago q man who had
started in business In Tasmania found
that he could not meet his engage
ments and vas compelled to csll a
meeting of his creditors.
Among his assets were a number of
Mount Birschoff tin mine shares,
which were regarded as worthless. 1t
was the first tin mine discovered in
Tasmania, and the output was not as
heavy as the prospectus declared 1t
would be.
The shares dropped IN value, and
when the debtor offered them to his
creditors the latter refused to touch
them.
Among the creditors was a poor
shoemaker who had supplied the nun
with a pair OF shoes. He offered to
take the shares In payment Of his
debt No one raised any objection,
and he took the shares, saying, They
may turn out well some day"
Five years later, under proper man.
agement, the mine developed into q
valuable property. 1t was a veritable
mountain Of tin, ard the shares sprane
up to an astonishing point.
Eventually the metal was "cornered"
by a French syndicate, and. the shares

INDECENT shoemaker sold out and real
tied n fortune.
The money was wisely invested. and

vote, including even material part
of the negro national officeholders

a democrat, but they will go with
