WON ON A BLUFF.
The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.

The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.
TEsrc LS prosperous merchant IN
Chicago today who owes his uuccess to
his donation of 5000 organ to a
church at II time when lie Didn't have
money enough to buy IL hand organ
This donation was a case OF bluf pure
and simple. hut the blur worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth OF
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capital 10
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 10
have the necessary cash and the incll.
nation to lend 1t and had been turned
down. he conceived the idea OF present
ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there.
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
ufacturers 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 ]. Smith was not bud
that was born TO blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficence under n bushel
He managed to bring In at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means of the church organ. but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news of his
gift
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretensc of consulting some
wealthy member OF the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject of the company that he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought that 1t would be good
thing to be associated with man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out $1,000 without
missing It. so that all were anxious to
take stock in j. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money TO start his
business and was doing so well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed TO make the payment. From
that time he has made money SO fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
well.-Chicago Tribune

FIGHTING FOR
A WHEAT CROP
One BraldyWine Hundred
Farmer Says Another Got
His Purchase

Trial of the case Of William T.
Marris VS.. William Shaw began in
Superior Court this morning, Josiah O.
Wolcott and Hugh M. Marris for the
plaintiff and Edward W. Cooch for the
defendant. The action is to recover
$3.50, the cost Of $50 bushels Of grow
ing wheat on the Brandywine hundred
farm lately occupied by Samuel Xiv
ington, which, It was declared, had
been removed from the farm by Shaw
after Marris had bought the wheat at
public sale on March 70, 1907.
Mr.. Marris told of the transaction.
He said he bought the wheat from
Kilvington, who was succeeded on the
farm by Shaw. and that when he went
to cut the wheat Mr.. Shaw ordered
him off the land Mr. Marris said he
had complied with all the terms Of tho
sale. He had made demand on Mr..
Shaw for the wheat and was refused
the property
For the defense. Mr.. Cooch said he
would prove that Mr.. Marris had not
complied with the terms, namely, paid
a three months note. and that Mr..
Kilvington had ordered Mr. Shaw to
cut the wheat after Mr.. Marris had
abandoned the crop
Mr.. Shaw admitted having cut the
wheat He said Mr.. Marris was pres
ent at the time but offered no objec-
tion. Neither did he claim the wheat.
Mr.. Cooch sought to prove that Mr.
Marris had not complied with the terms
OF the sale In consequence of which
Mr.. Kilvington had instructed Mr..
Shaw to cut the wheat. The court
would not allow Mr.. Cooch to introduce
the testimony. however. holding that
such testimony could not affect the
Marris title TO the wheat. Mr.. Cocch
closed his case by calling John PEN
ningon who swore that he threshed the
wheat and that the crop yielded us
bushels

GAS AS A RIVAL
OF DYNAMITE
Inventors Say the dupont Co.
Wants TO Know About
New Explosive

ST. LOUIS. March 26-An invention
that is expected will revolutionize fire.
arms and explosives came to light
when Ralston T. Wilbur. professor Of
engineering at the Christian Brothers
College, was called into consultation
with Richard II. Murphy, a former
mine operator. and e. E Lugar, stock
and bond broker in the Chemical Build
ing. The meeting was to devise plans
for the perfection OF an explosive
'gaseo-nitrite' which Murphy has
been experimenting for FIVE years. Six
months ago he hit upon the secret, al
though he had worked on the same
theory since he gave up mining.
Several days ago an agent OF the du-
Pont Powder Company called on
Murphy and Wilbur. so they state. and
wanted 20 learn of the invention.
Murphy said that he did not consider
his visit important, as they did not
contemplate selling to a company.
Murphy claims that the explosive has
FIVE times the destructive power OF
dynamite; that 1t is noiseless, and that
Il carries little smoke He claims Il
superior TO the recently invented
"smokeless powder" as he claims that
invention little better than other
powder, as 1t carries an odor that is
obnoxious. The new explosive that
Murphy has invented is a gas, and is
stored in steel shells.
The explosion Is caused by metallic
spark. and the inventor claims that il
is impossible for the gas 10 explode
without being ignited. He said that
he was waiting for a reply from Rear
Admiral Melville. retired chief of con-
struction, United States Navy. and that
It was his intention TO sell the secret
to the government. He said that he
would make the invention an open
secret rather than form a corporation.
