San Francisco.-That Dame Fortune
bestows her gifts on the deserving Is
shown by the experience OF Michael

Of Salem. Mass. being sick and nerv-

she stopped at the hotel. The task OF
looking after Ger fell to Mike Dunphy.
He accepted the work gracefully and
performed his duties In an exceptional
manner. When Mrs. Potter left she
give him a check for 500. with a note
Of appreciation. About two weeks ago
Dunphy received a letter from Brown
& Carlysle. lawyers Of Boston. saying
that Mrs. Potter had died and left him
$4,000. They inclosed . check for that
amount.
Dunphy bought q home for his par.
ents and sent them to Denver for q
trip. When the lawyers heard how the
boy had disposed OF the money they
wrote him saying that Mrs. Potter left
a further provision In her will to the
effect that II the boy disposed OF his
check wisely he was to have balance
Of $47.500. making the total amount
$4,000. The letter further declares
that the lad may draw on the law firm
for the money.

SILHOUE1TES OF

talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop. the
system of summer following pursued
In the semi-arid districts, were al
discussed. and then, with . sort Of
apologetic smile. the Iowa man said:

One could almost see the mental
process Of this typical American farm
sr in defending q step that meant q
new flag, new allegiance, q new
land, and new, associates. To aban-
don Old Glory Of the Declaration OF
Independence for a good thing In
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game. but to go out into Sas-

motive.

Our FIRST investment was In IL un-

At 20 cents sash. By glazing the

1T was In the autumn that We be-
gan. While glazing was going on we
devoted our evenings to studying up
varieties. We soon learned that we
must choose between the Marie Louise
and the Lady Hume Campbell. a. they
were quoted rs the only double variety
suited to commercial growing.
AS the Marie Louise violets were
the most popular in the New York
market and It was there that we In
tended to market our flowers. Of
course we decided ON them. Early In
March We invested $40 In cuttings OF
that variety and began work In earn

pots In all. containing what We have
since learned were very poor cuttings
indeed.
while waiting for the cuttings to
root we had our frame built into
which they were to be set permanent

six feet wide by SO feet long. IL
inches deep In the back and half as
much In front. The lumber cost US
three dollars. and we paid a man q
dollar for the half days work Of build

"The frame was placed on a fertile
spot IN the garden Over the surface
OF the soil we spread well-rotted
stable manure to the depth Of three or
four inches.
1T required all my sisters and my
