From being mascot TO. w. ]. Bry-

The managers of the Minneso.

was not a startling success. The

down town these same men had to
pick their way through the mud
to see christ. Negroes and coarse
faced women shouldered them as
they talked finance at the door

A millionaire-even a million

For Valentine Christ has the
money all right.
He is better than a millionaire.
He owns business blocks, farms,
prosperous homes-he admits that
he owns property in every town.
ship in the county. He is the big

Christ is bachelor, nearly 70
years old. He almost had a ro-

himself.

This was all there was to the
marriage.
Christ wasn't much different
to look at-from hundreds and
thousands of emigrant boys when
he landed in this country in 1853.
He got work at pittance, but
saved his money.
Then the war broke out, and
Christ went to the front. No, not
as a soldier. He Joined the COM
missary department at SIS a
month, and picked up more from
cooking special dishes for the sol
diers and officers. When the war
was over he had comfortable
pile.
Land was cheap then, and
Christ figured that as the best in-

always stuck to land buying ever
since.
Christ once tried living in a

exclusive suburb. But he didn't

shack.
Christ's clothes are mean and
