Romance of a Glasgow Boy.

Fortune, as are told. only knocks at
mans door once in a lifetime, and
II refused admittance passes by, never
to return again. The saying is belied,
however by the career of George Nc.
Culloch, a Glasgow boy, who arrived
in Australia just 60 years ago, with
less than SIS in his pocket. and who
died the other day a millionaire. This
is how Mr.. McCulloch threw away his
first chance of acquiring a fortune:
One night, sitting in tiny shanty at
the foot Of the Broken Hill mine, soon
after its discovery, he played a game
of eucher with companion, his stake
being the fourteenth share Of the
mine itself. He lost, and the share
which thus passed out of his hands
was. six years later, worth no less than
$6.250 900.

NOTHING LEFT TO BLUSH FOR.
TsetfuI Uncle Met the Situation In
Really Great style.

A young man in want Of $25 wrote
to his uncle as follows:
Dear Uncle-If you could see how
blush for shame as am writing. you
would pity me. Why? Because l
have to ask you for few dollars, and
do not know how to express myself.
1t is impossible for me to tell you. l
prefer to die. send you this by mes
senger, who will wait for an answer.
Believe me, my dearest uncle, your
most obedient and affectionate nephew.
up. S.-Overcome with remorse for
what | have written, have been run
ming after the messenger in order to
recover this letter, but cannot catch
him. Heaven grant that something
may stop him or that this letter may
get lost"
The uncle was naturally touched.
but was equal to the emergency. He
replied as follows:
MY Dear Jack-Console yourself
and blush no more. Providence has
heard your prayer. The messenger
lost your letter Your affectionate
uncle. Library.

IS ALTOGETHER OUT OF DATE
According to This, Modesty is Very
Much a Thing Of the Past.

Modesty is supposed to have come
over in the Mayfower, along with the
story of Rebecca at the Well. Since
then Boston has become psychological
and modesty has a subliminal self.
There is a tradition that modesty
once lived in New York, but this has
never been proved 1t is highly i'm.
probable, especially as New York has
always had smart set.
Modesty, indeed. is a recluse. Her
pew in church has been given up. She
never had a box at the opera. She
would not dare be operated upon in
any hospital. The children would dis.
concert her in any home. With no
roof to shelter her, no nourishment
TO sustain her, she walks the 1lntrod.
den paths a miserable and dlscon-
tented thing Of the past.--Lippincotts.

her, she ran away to seek employ

into the hands of the police. When
Prosecutor Jessup heard the child S

said that until a permanent home can
be found for her he will keep her at
his country home, giving her employ.

has frequently been severely beaten
by her aunt and her aunt's alleged
husband.
She sta that they would compel
her to leave home and work and
would then take from her all her
earnings. If they thought that she
did not give them all her money she
would be severely whipped. The child
states that her aunt is not married to
the Italian she lives with but says
that her aunt met the Italian in
Brooklyn, N. Y, and came west with
him.
The little girl also states that she
has in her brief career borne three
names. her fathers, her aunt's divorc
ed husband and lastly that of the Ital

is Thomas. The father of the De

know whether or not his daughter is
married to the man she is living with
but says that the Delucey home is MOI

in.
