BROUGHT FORTUNE TO FAMILY.
The Refrigerator Gar the Invention Of
Cape Cod Yankee.

Gustavus Franklin Swift, the first
OF this commercial dynasty, was a
Cape Cod Yankee who bought a steer
now and then and peddled the meat
from the back of a certain go-cart
which has since become famous.
He moved to Albany and went deep
err into meats, discarding one after an.
other partners who had not the fore.
sight and daring which he possessed.
He located in Chicago at the begin
ming of those days of great possibili-
ties in bringing into touch the new
west and the older east.
1t was he who invented the first re-
frigerator cars. This was the one rev.
olutionary act which put his sons and
a few other sons in very fair control
OF half of the meat of America.
He saw the market for dressed beef
extended only after the hardest OF
nights. All great revolutions are
fought against. All the east, all Eng
land, all Europe, fought the idea of
dressed beef and then accepted 1t.

WILL LIE ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Something About Which Honesty
Seems to Cut Little Figure.

The thing most lied about in the
world Is the weather. The weather
cant sue for libel, so 1t is q safe thing
to lie about, although 1t does strike
back now and then.
Most people see no harm In stretch
ing meteorological truth; in fact, they
look with mistrust on the person who
insists upon handing the weather
square deal. If your neighbor says
his thermometer registered 20 below,
and you tell him that yours only
showed ten below, he despises you
for person without imagination. In
the summer, likewise, when your mer-
curry stands at So in the shade and he
says his stands at 9S, you are the
one on whom popular doubt will rest.
Honesty is not the best policy when
the weather is under discussion, I'M
less you like to appear at a disadvan-
tage.
There is large and fourishing class
OF liars who everlastingly pretend to
know what the weather is going to do,
setting themselves up as intimate
friends Of the weather, when as every
one knows, their acquaintance is bare
ly speaking one. Once In awhile
born liar, meaning to lie, will tell the
truth in spite Of himself, and 1t is thus
with the weather professors; they
cant miss the right guess always, be-
cause there are SO few things for the
weather man to do.
Call on half dozen of your weather
wise friends and ask them what 1t Is
going to be tomorrow, and they will
disagree as widely as the alienists in
a murder trial, without any apparent
harm to their professional regulations.

Trim Your Nails.

or reception. One day Casey died,
and there was great TODD about it.
The children had fine coffin, with
plenty Of flowers, and Casey was laid

HER MOMENT OF COMPLETE JOY.
When Grandmother Reads First Let
ter from Her Grandchild.

You may talk about great state pa
pers, Of presidents messages, of royal
exchanges of salutations, and all that
sort of thing, but when you want to
strike chord that beats in harmony
with the human heart, just see that
grandmother reading that first letter
from her grandchild. All time and
space, and things created and uncre-
ated are concerted into the bliss Of
the moment, when the dear woman
drinks in the meaning of those awk-
ward, hesitating, incongruous lines,
which with all their crudities, still
seem stately and dignified under the
emotion Of first great effort.
There is nothing like it. Shake
speare never matched it. Dante reads
like an almanac by the side Of 1t. 1t
is a revelation that makes st. Johns
seem insipid and pale. The good wom-
an reads it over and over, and thinks
away back when she was little girl,
and when the child's mother was a lit
tie girl, and then Of this little boy, just
starting to open path into the mys-
terry of life; and she reads another
passage Of the sweet, laundering let
ter, which closes with the very for
mality of affection-"Your loving
friend" then her thoughts rush
out Of the window into the gray skies,
but after while they come back,
bringing her the assurance from some
where, that Of all the blessings Of life,
one Of the sweetest has come to her
that of getting the first epistle from
her first grandchild.-Columbus CO.,

LIKED THE FIGHTING APOSTLE.
Name Of St. Peter Appealed to Heart
of Soldier.

1t Is we'll known that Elias Howe,
the inventor of the sewing machine,
not only enlisted as a common soldier
In the ranks of the Seventeenth Con-
necticut regiment, carried a musket,
and did full military duty during the
war, but at certain juncture, when
national finances were at low ebb,
he paid soldiers out of his own pocket.
Relative to this incident, p T. Barnum
used to tell this story:
while Mr.. Howe was counting out
tho money referred to, stranger, who
was clergyman, entered the tent and
said he had heard of Mr.. Howe's lib
erality and had called to ask him to
contribute toward building a church
for his congregation.
Church, church., said Mr. Howe
without looking up from his bills he
was counting building churches In
war times, when so much is needed to
save our country! What church Is
tt?
est. Peters church. replied the
clergyman.
ooh, st. Peters, said Mr.. Howe;
well, st. Peter was the only fighting
apostolic cut mans ear off. I'll
go $500 on st. Peter but | am spend
ing most of my money ON saltpeter
now"
