returned to his native home, but the
man whom he had spent lifetime to
revenge had passed beyond this world
of earthly cares. The mill was later
sold for the actual value of the woods
and machinery. and brought Mr.. Lick
only one-tenth of his original invest
ment.
Mr.. Liek's second eccentricity was
to appear before tposterity as man of
generosity rather than of small deal
ings. His investments in San Francis
co had made him immensely wealthy
by this time, and he set about to erect
a monument which would appeal to the
future generations. He had become
Interested in astronomy and thought
this field afforded the greater oppor-
tunity for him to benefit the world.
He ordered constructed the largest tel
.escope ever built, and in a suitable
structure, in the midst of the clear
California atmosphere, which was es-
peeially suitable for astronomical OBJ
servations, he erected the monument
which stands today to commemorate
the life OF James Lick. Mr.. Lick died
Oct l, 1875, and his remains were
placed in a vault at the base Of the
So-foot pier supporting the great tel
escope.

Chicago, ILL.,. Aug 27.-An incident
which shows the care with which offic-
ials handle accounts in large COR
poration was brought to light this
week when Jack Durney was asked to
indorse the above check. The check
was issued eight years ago and COW
ers one hours time when Jack worked
for the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway. Now Durney Is wealthy and
had long since forgotten the check.
bur all this time his account has been
carried on the books OF this concern
and Immediately upon his return he
was asked to indorse It and get the
account closed.
The trouble all came over differ
ence of opinion and glass of beer
In December, 1900, Durney was EN-
ployed by the company as a track la
borer. A new road was being built
about 100 miles from Milwaukee, and
Durney, with a gang OF men, went
from Chicago Transportation was fur

streets. Lawler has since died.
Durney gave the check to Lawler
for drink, but forgot to indorse it.
The saloonkeeper put 1t in the cigar
case. where it has lain ever since.
In the meantime the St Paul road
has been carrying Durney's name on
the payroll because the amount which
the company owed him is still on the
books.
After exchanging the check for a
drink Durney went to railroad labor
agency and shipped to point in Min
nesota. He arrived in Seattle a few
months later, and, hearing TIN tales
of hidden fortunes in the Alaska gold
fields. he went to Dawson city. He
came out few weeks ago with about
$4,000
On his arrival in Chicago he went
to call on Lawler and learned Of the
saloonkeeper's death. He introduced
himself to the present proprietor, Jo-
seph Burke. son-in- law Of Lawler,
and Burke gave him the 15-cent check
to have IT cashed.

One hundred and eleven years ago
today was born in the quiet town Of
Fredericksburg, Pa, man destined
to go down in history as one Of the
worlds greatest philonthropists. James
Eick's life history reads more like fic-
ton than facts. He was eccentric in
the extreme and this was brought
about by a disappointment in his early
love affairs. He came of highly re-
spected though poor family Early in
life he won the love of a rich miller's
daughter in the neighborhood. UP to
this time he had little ambition to
accomplish great things, and his life
had been one of simplicity. He had
sought no adventure and had little
thought of the morrow In his
straightforward manner he went TO
the girls father and asked his consent
to the marriage There occurred the
climax of his life, which turned him
from simple country swain to a man
full of determination, backed by
revengeful spirit. The wealthy farm
er raved at him. and told him to make
name for, himself before ne dared
ask the hand of his daughter. James
Lick left the home of his sweetheart's
father, stung to the quick. His life's
endeayor from this point on was to
show that man who had so severely
reprimanded him that James Lick
could do something worth while. He
bent every effort for the balance Of his
life to collect sufficient funds to build
a grist mill which would make that Of
the girls father seem insignificant i'm
comparison. He at once shipped for
South America. For years he lived on
practically nothing and saved every
penny It was a hard fight. but in the
course Of ten years he had saved up
enough to make small investment
which proved. successful and gave him
his first financial start Neither the
girl nor her father again heard of
James Lick for twenty years At this
time he had settled in California and
had built the mill which was the am
bition Of his life Nothing in the way
of grist mills had ever approached
'Lick's folly The mill was finished
in mahogany. The machinery was
nickel plated and no expense was
spared. When it was completed he
