The Poor Boys Opportunity.

Once more we realize that our re-
sources, our true resources of strength
and of greatness, are not to be sought
for in mine or field, but reside in man.
When we take account of these re-
sources, we find once more impressing
upon us that we are not to look ex-
clusively TO the favore dhome of excep-
tional opportunity, to sheltered child
hood, TO youth blessed with extraor-
binary advantages, to those upon whom
fortune has smiled and who are led
along the paths of life with constant
counsel and ready inspiration But we
must take all America within our view

Unfortunate Series of Incidents the
Result of Future King of Westpha-
las Desire for Just zone
More Night"

Previous to his elevation to the SOW
ereignty, Jerome Bonaparte had
formed a friendship with some young
authors at that time in vogue for their
wit and reckless gayety. On the even
ing after his nomination to the crown
of Westphalia he met two of his jol
vial companions just as he was leav-
ing the theater. My dear fellows, -
said he, Il am delighted to see you. L
suppose you know that l have been
created king of yyestphalia?" Eyes,
sire, and permit us to be among the

mOnious, methinks; that might pass

at present away with form and let US
be off to supper"
Upon this Jerome took his friends
10 one of the best restaurateurs in the
Palais Royal. The three chatted and
laughed, ard said and did a thousand
of those foolish things which when un-
premeditated are so delightful. Ii
may be supposed that the conversa-

Jerome, why should We quit each

p, who are fond of books, l appoint
you my librarian" The arrangement
was accepted and ratified over a fresh
bottle of champagne.
AT length the party began to think
of leaving, and accordingly called for
the bill. Jerome produced his purse.
but the king of Westphalia could only
find two louis, which formed but a
small portion of 200f., the amount of
the bill. The new dignitaries, by
clubbing their wealth, could only mus

What was to be done? At one
o'clock in the morning where could
resources be found? They determined
to send for the master of the house
and acquaint him how matters stood.
He seemed to take the frolic in good
part, and merely requested to know
their names. Having told him, the
restaurateur set his customers down
as sharpers. and threatened to send
for the commissary of police. This
alarmed Jerome, who, seeing that the
restaurateur doubted them, handed
over his watch in payment. This
watch had been present from Napo-
leon, and on the back was the en-
perors cipher in brilliants.
On examining the watch the res
taurateur concluded that it had been
stolen, and took it to the commissary
of police. The latter. recognizing the
imperial cipher, ran with it, to the
project. The project flew to the min
lister of the interior, and he in turn
went to the emperor at st. Cloud
Next morning the Moniteur contained
an ordinance in which Jerome was or
dered TO Nestphalia at once, and pro-
hibited from comforting any appoint
ments till his arrival at his capital.

TAILOR IN ONE NEIGHBoRHooD
One Small Trader Whose BUSINESS
Has Not Been Absorbed.

One Small Trader Whose BUSINESS
Has Not Been Absorbed.
One small business that has not yet
been swallowed up by the big ones
is that of the small tailor who makes
clothes for men and women and cleans,
repairs and presses.
There are hundreds of such tailors
scattered in residence districts all
over the city employing one, two or
three hands, the New York Sun says,
and there are plenty of such shops
that yield their proprietors a good liv-
ing profit and maybe something more.
Here is a business In which polite
ness and a desire to please play their
proper part, for the proprietor comes
in personal contact with the customer,
and If to politeness the shop adds
good work and businesslike prompt
ness in completing jobs at the time
specified 1t may in almost any neigh
borhood build up substantial trade
with regular customers and with a
steadily increasing clientele.
Many such shops call for clothes and
make deliveries; few keep a boy, for
there might not be constant employ
ment for him, and in these small shops
everybody keeps constantly at work;
they have to do that to work out a
profit The boss himself on occasions
will carry things home, and do 1t will
ingly and cheerfully. Still for the
most part customers requireing clean
ing, repairing and pressing done take
their own things 90 the shop and take
them away wien done, and in this
carrying to aid fro the customers show
various peculiarities or they may be
governed more or less by where they
live.
If man lives in a tenement house
he may throw his clothes over his arm
and walk with them so to the tailor;
if he lives in an apartment house with
an elevator and that sort of thing he
would be more likely to do them up in
bundle. And when you get these
clothes at night on your way home,
If you live in a tenement house you
take them back on your arm; the
tailor will lay the trinity pressed
| clothes over your arm smoothly; or II
you live In an apartment you have
them done up, because you want them
so or because you know that other
people in the house wouldn't fancy see-
ing a tenant walking through the hall
to the elevator carrying a lot of old
| clothes. The tailor will ask you whe-
| Their you want them done up or not,
| and If you do he will do them up
gladly and not consider you proud or
snippy for wanting them so. The
neighborhood tailor knows about
things and he is man of business.
So as to most of the things that find
their way to the tailor over the arm
or in a bundle, but the modern young
man has discovered another way which
is not without its merits and advan.
tages. He puts his clothes to be re.
paired suitcase and when he goes
down town in the morning he Just
leaves the suitcase at the tailor's and
then when he comes home at night he
stops at the tailor's on the way to
find his things all ready. The tailor
lays them neatly in the suitcase again
and so the young man carries them
