WAS UNABLE TO READ,
BUT MADE HIS MILLION.
So Long islander Bought Land Ad.
joining Vanderbilt Estate.

John Leahy OF Long Island, who
made more than $l,O0O,O0O, although
he could neither read nor write, is dead
at his home in Lakcvillc, n. Y. His
shrewdncss and judgment seemingly
compensated for his lack of education
Leahy, who was seventy, came to
the United States from Ireland many
years ago. He bought Long Island
farm for small sum and made n
good living az a farmer and truck gar
dener. Soon after consolidation he
sold his farm at n profit Of $500, 900,
after which he bought land adjoining
Deepdale, the estate Of William X.
Vanderbilt, Jr, at Lakeville.
Many times overtures were made by
Vanderbilt and his agents to induce
Leahy to sell, but he had no further
need OF money and always declined.
He felt that, having accumulated n
million himself, he was entitled to a
residence in the millionaire colony.
The 100000 made by the sale of the
original farm was more than trebled
In the past ten years Notwithstanding
Leaby's inability to read the hundreds
of legal documents to which he affixed
his mark. All his checks were signed
by the same mark. Several sons sur

The Eestiva Goldfish.

A correspondent of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents

fish no doubt does this 10 secure as
nearly as possible a dry, bracing at
mosphere. This pure air Of the sub.
marine tablelands gives to the Goldfish
that breadth of chest and depth Of
lungs that we have so often noticed.
The glad. free smile of the Goldfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
Of this oceanic altitoodleum. The cor.
respondent further says that the ''cod.

Those who have not had the pleasure
OF seeing the Goldfish climb the cherry

fruit from the heavily laden branches

very fine sight. The Goldfish when at

viii Pave North Ninth,

II the plans of the citizens of North
Ninth street are carried out, that
street will be one of the prettiest in
the city. A number of citizens Of that
street held an enthusiastic meet in
the city hall at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon and it was found that the petit
ton for the paving of Norfolk avenue
from Seventh street to Ninth street,
thence north to Prospect avenue, was
practically ready to be turned over to
the city council, who will be asked to
make as rapid progress as possible in
paving this new district.
1t was believed by some of the men
present at the meeting that a move
should be made on the part of prop.
erty owners on West Norfolk avenue
to join them in making the petition
read to pave Norfolk avenue to Thir-
teenth street and Ninth street north to
Prospect avenue, thus making one
large district, which would decrease
greatly the cost per square yard.
Most every resident of North Ninth
street was at the meeting, among them
many travelling men, who proved them
selves great boosters.
1t was said there was no question
whatever about enough signatures be-
ing secured to the petition.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the paving on North Ninth street
should be thirty feet wide and on Nor.
folk avenue forty feet wide. A new
grade for North Ninth street was also
agreed upon which met the approval
of City Engineer Tracy, who was pres
ent at the meeting. The petition, with
some of the resolutions, is to be sent
to the city council at the meeting next
Monday night.
The material for the new paving
was not decided on, but asphalt is said
to be favored.

American Children.

american SniIuTcn.
The bulk of the American toy y r.
chase at Nuremberg for 1910 has been
figured, and it Is notable that 1t is
considerably larger than In 1909.
For the first nine months Of last
year the declared value Of the toys
shipped from that district to the Unit
ed States was S1,S54,319. This is
$246,1S6 greater than the shipments
for the same period OF 1909 and only
$50,O5S less than the shipments for the
entire year. Toy exports to America
for the last quarter will probably
reach $350,O00, making the total for
the year something over $2,200,000 an
increase Of more than Is per cent over
1909.
These toys pay an average Of 80 per
cent duty. or total Of about $770,OOO
and thus without taking account OF
freight they cost the American import,
ers In round figures about $3,OO0,00O
From the best information obtainable
100 per cent is n small figure to add
for freight charges. profits Of whole
salers and profits Of retailers. Thus
the toys bought in the single city of
Nuremberg last year for the amuse
ment Of the boys and girls Of the
nUited States cost the American do
nors the round sum Of $8.000.0O0.

Absolutely Free to the Farmers.

An appeal to many of the German
farmers in the vicinity of Norfolk is
made by the Commercial club, to
whom it has been reported that Ger
man farmers who do not understand
English have been made to believe the
Farmers Breeding institute, which is
holding three days session in the
Auditorium commencing Tuesday, is
held for the purpose of financial ben
eft for the club.
The sooner the farmer gets rid of
this belief the better he will be off.
There is positively no charge made to
this institute. Everything is free;
there are no schemes to recommend
for sale anything whatever, nor any
recommendation to the farmer to buy
anything.
The institute is held on the same
basis of work carried on in the large
universities, only on shorter scale.
This work is brought here for the
farmers for their own benefit and be-
cause it Is seldom the farmer OF this
vicinity gets the advantage of hearing
great educators of modern farm meth
DDS talk to them personally. It Is
something the farmer will get for his
benefit and the welfare Of his farm
free Of all cost. The farmers who can
not come to this institute should send
their boys to Norfolk to hear these
lectures.
One German farmer, when invited to
come to the institute, declared that he
did not want to buy anything"
THAT Is a wrong way to look at
this" says G. L. Carlson, the scientific
farmer who has done so much for the
farmers Of this vicinity. 81 am sur.
prised to hear Of farmers talking that
way. We will have some of the best
speakers on all kinds of farming and
breeding in the state and farmers
should take a few days OF to hear
them. If they cannot come them
selves they should send their boys to
hear them. They will get some infor-
nation which will be of great value to
them without paying out one cent"
Norfolk is ready to welcome farmers
Tuesday. The institute starts at 2
o'clock with an address of welcome by
President A. L. Killian of the Com
mercial club, under whose auspices
the institute is being held here. Much
of the first days program is given
over to the lectures on breeding mares
by G. l.. Carlson and DR.. c. A. McKim,
who will do the dissecting.
The directors of the Commercial
club will hold a meeting in the di.
rectors' rooms of the Nebraska Ma
tional bank Monday night and the
final arrangements will be made for
| receiving the visitors.
Merchants in the city have taken a
great interest In the first meeting OF
this institute here and have put their
show windows in the best Of appear
