coRTE1.Yors VACATION JOKE.

Three days of temperature over the 100 degree mark have driven George Bruce Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, to Huntington, |" l., where he will spend his vacation, His fam ily will accompany him,
 "Weaver, I have decided to take a vacaton," said the secretary to his pri- va,e secretary to-day, forcing a strained smile My going will leave only Secretary Luke Wright to repre- sen. the cabinet, and I admit 1t does hardly look right, but"
 Willing hands dragged Weaver into the corridor, where he was held under tho spout of water cooler until con- sciousness returned, He appeared to be in great agony

 Trade CoolSs for Vacation.
 If you had $50 900 slowed comforts i, ably away in bank would you shine shoes at Q cents clip seven days, year In and year out? It Is not veryt likely you would, but that is just whatl Al Shartle, one of the most unique 1 linanciers of Dayton, is doing, and, l moreover, he Is happy and can't be induced to quit his job The only time Sharle gives up his shine boxs is during the autumn, when accom-l panied by his brother he makes thol rounds of the county fairs of Ohio. ! This week he is at the state fair, cons ductIng restaurant under the grand- stand. This Is his vacation. It gives him a rest from bending over the, muddy boot, and at the same time no I is adding to his fortune and having a | good time, which means something to- a fellow who is making thousands of i dollars, 10 cents at a time.
 Shartle began his strange money-, ! making career m Layton In lSO7c when he discovered that there was more money in polishing a pair of | shoes at 10 cents than in cooking meals for which someone else obtains cd the profit, He had been cook as a youth When he changed his trade business was small at first but gradu- ally he increased 1t, until at the pres- ent time his clientele is sufficient to keep him busy all daE--eYery day. i When Shartle shines your shoes they reflect your face and the heavens above. Most of his trade is confined to office buildings and large stores. Money making is a habit with him. He likes it. He claims he does not care to amass a big fortune like some of the money kings of the country. but he wants to get what he can.' ! When asked why he continued to shine shoes after becoming well-to-do. | he replied, ITO make another for- tune. Shartle will not tell what ha is worth but 1t is stated in his home city that he has S1,000 for every year of his life. He is 57 years old His money is invested in real estate, from which he receives good return EIo was never known to speculate. --OhiQ State Journal. I
