Laid In a Stock,

When the late Pierre Lorillard was a boy, his mother, being annoyed by moths that destroyed the woolen cloth ing and other material of the house. hold agreed to pay him q cent apiece for every moth he would kill in the house and bring to her. The same bargain was made with his brothers. Jake, George and Louis. Ill course of time Mrs. Lerillard noticed that. while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to % cents. Pierre drew on her frequently for $1 at a time. indersing his drafts with 100 dead moths. Investigation revealed the bent of the future hnancier as we'll as his early adaptabifity to Aeth- ods governing the requirement of wealth. Having procured from fur Tier some pieces of fur thrown away because they were infested with moths, Pierre secreted them in an old chest in an unused closet. There the quickly accommodating moths were banked, to be drawn upon whenever Aashe inventor and perfecter of the en- Zsrprise required pocket money.

Qriqinal of EalataH.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough. ne showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned 1t with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, however. he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolf's matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for. having married widow aamed Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime.-Lon- don News.

Tho Old English Prize Ring.

In tho latter days of the English prize ring 1nnunerable expedients had to be devised to bring of light. A favorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of tive counties, so that the question of magisterial jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Savers and Heenan in 1860 special train was run from Lon- don bridge to secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets, pugilists, clergy and. 1t is said, few bishops, cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the dght occurred.-London Chronicle.

THE GROWN OF SUCCESS.

(From the Denver Statesman.)
A year ago the first announcement
was made Of the wonderful success
which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made
in the growth of her own hair, and
1t is her intention to give the BEN
eft Of her knowledge to the world
at large. Being one of the best
known women in this section Of the
country, already the news OCCASION
ed much comment, and many peo-
pie who had known her for years,
came to realize for the first time
that the magnifceai >uit of hair she
has now was the hroauct Of a very
short time and thai d bare three
years ago she were her hair in short
curls, not braided and dressed as
she now does. That success begets
success, was evident from the start.
Her classes in the care Of the scalp
and the growth and identifying OF
the hair were filled at once. They
grew in prodigious bounds and some
weeks ago she was compelled to
abandon her out-of-town classes all
together. She confines herself now
to treatments at her home in the
Highlands and to mail order busl-
ness.
In the special articles which VII
appear from time to time in this pa
per, we delight to call attention 70
success in various lines achieved by
people of this city and state. botn
that there may be honor paid 70
whom honor is due, and also that
proper appreciation and patronage
may come to pioneers in business
among us. Personal profit for them
selves and example and encourage
ment for us all go hand in hand IN
success won by mem bers of our race.
Even the mean spirited should not
9begrudge the one when SO much IS
accomplished for the whole people az
the same time.
In her business Mrs. Perkins does
not play the part Of a 1charlatan, pus
sets forth clearly the possibilities o.
her work, and her greatest endorse
ment falls short of the painstakin,g
endeavor and thorough going KNOW
edge she uses. We have seen nel8
grow and grow, we know that sne
has succeeded and we, therefore:
predict that in no great length Q.
time she will be doing a business
mat will rival any mail order busl-
ness conducted by woman OF OUT
