THE BLUFF WORKED
sHREWD TRICK BY WHICH MER
CHANT GOT A START.
His OFFER Of Gift Of 5000 Organ to
Church Established His Credit
A. q Good Man to
Tia To-

There 10 prosperous merchant In
Chicago to-day who owes his success
to his donation Of a 5000 organ to .
church at a time when he didn't have
money enough to buy hand organ.
This donation was case of bluff. pure
and simple, but the BLUM 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 It 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.
or course J. Smith was not bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficence under a BUSH
ell. He managed to bring In at least
the flute stops no matter what the sub
1ect of conversation. Not only did the
youpg NapoIanp odyarttoa hip,oaIf hy
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 once, 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 good thing
to be associated with a man who was
making SO much money that he was
able to hand out $4,000 without miss
ing 1t. so that all were anxious to take
stock in j. Smiths company.
Long before. the time came for the
hrst payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing so we'll he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money 80 fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
well.

Uses Of Olive Oil.

Not every one realizes the medi.
cinal properties of olive oil. 1t is quite
true that the machinery Of the body
needs oiling occasionally, like any
mechanical machine which is con.
stantly In use, and olive oil. taken in.
ternally, will be exceedingly bench.
cial. A tablespoonful will aid the di.
gestion and ease liver trouble. This
oil should be served frequently as a
dressing and is not only pleasant on
vegetables, but serves as an appetizer
as well. Taken internally. either with
salads or alone, 1t is beneficial for
catarrh either of the stomach or
throat. 1t is known to be great help
in cases Of rundown nervous system
and loss of weight 1t should be
rubbed we'll into the skin, the entire
body being massaged with the oil, par,
ticularly the spine. After massaglng
with olive oil use Turkish towel
rubbing well over the body. As a
preventive Of colds mix it with quinine
and rub on the chest and back. II
can also be applied mixed with cam
phor to cure soreness OF the throat.

A Metaphor with a History,

To know hawk from hernshaw"
is metaphor with curious history.
1t is comparison drawn from fal.
conry. "Hernshaw" is corruption of
"herohshaw," or young heron, a bird
which was a common prey of the fal-
cons. To know hawk from a hern.
shaw therefore is to be able to dis.
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crcpt into
the phrase-"to know a hawk from
a handsaw," form used by Hamlet
In one place. Possibly the distinction
between hawk and hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes of the proverb.

Marriage lengthens Life.

II you desire to live to a good old
age you will do we'll to read what an
eminent doctor says on the subject.
He makes. first of all, the bold state
ment that anyone who desires to live
for four score and ten years should
get married. In other words, he
claims that conjugal life Is necessary
condition Of longevity. Here are the
statistics which support this state
ment: or 200 persons who have
reached the age Of 40 years the doctor
found that 1875 were married and rs
unmarried OF 10 men who had
reached the age of 60 years he found
that As were married and 22 unmar-
ried. He next took 3S men, each OF
whom was In his SEVENTEEN year, and
he found that 81 were married and IL
unmarried.
Again the doctor has discovered that
the mortality among bachelors be-
tween the ages of 80 and As Is az
high as 81 per cent, whereas among
those who are married 1t does not ex-
coed Is per cent. 1t is evident that
We must acknowledge the potency of
these figures, and that, II we desire
to live to good old age, we should
get married as soon as possible.

But he remembers that most OF the
tombstones cleaned just as white in

How was 1t in the country? Surely
the aged sexton who dug the graves
didn't take care of them after the last
words Of the burial service had been
said.
So he recalls that each family
looked after its own burial plot, not In
haphazard fashion but as a matter OF
routine. There wasn't much senti.
ment In the performance; 1t was part
OF the years work.

The wagon was loaded up with gar.

and soap and big wash boiler. At
tho house nearest the cemetery yon
called and got this boiler filled with
hot water. He recalls that the water
stopped over on his bare feet az the
wagon pursued an uneven course
through the burying ground.
The first thing was to give each
marble headstone thorough scrub.
bling with soap and water. Then q
little rough gardening was done. noa

and many persons could be seen work

some graves were neglected, he re-
calls; all the family had died OF
moved away and the graves they de-
serted were fast being covered from

1t must be that the graves OF his an.
cestors were that way now, for all his
kin not dead had found homes else

Longfellow's "Morituri Salutamus'
