WHITE MAN OFFERS
SELF AS SLAVE
viii Be MoIIycoddIe to Per-
son Who Puts Up Best
Price,

The St. Louis Times of recent date
has the following remarkable story:
George Marcy. 80 years old. wants
to settle down and make fortune
and this is his most important reason
for placing himself on the auction
block. to be knocked down to the
highest bidder. lie will play both
auctioneer and slave" and the sale
will be held wherever he can find an
audience. He is staying at the Pom
tiac Hotel.
Marcy, who Is 20 years old, says he
can lNdve his physical and mental
strength. lie will accept $4,000 the
first year, with increases in his salary
ut frequent intervals. He will sell
himself for any period of time from
one year to life.
In exchange for the money he will
receive from his master" he offers
all he possesses, excepting his con-
science. He says he will not sell the
latter, because II has never troubled
him In the past, for the reason that
he has never given Il any occasion to.
He Is Indifferent about the class of
work his purchaser instructs him to
do.
viii do Most Anything.
He will do anything that requires
managerial ability. from superntend-
ing corps Of street cleaners to over
seeing gang of garbage wagon
drivers.
There are few things he will not
do for money. no matter how bright
the future may be. For instance. he
would not think Of selling himself Ia
a wealthy burglar who may he In
need of manager for his corps of
subburglars, nor would he agree to
superintend the task of picking
pockets.
He will sell himself. to a corpora
ton, provided the bill of sale will not
require him to act as an understudy
for the president, II said president
should get into trouble with the
police.
In the contract he will include his
habits. If his purchaser should be an
eccentric person, who desired him to
smoke cigarettes, drink champagne,
wear pink shoes and n harem skirt,
he will consent.
Willing to Be Mollycoddle.
On the other hand, he Is willing to
be perfect mollycoddle. At the pres
ent time he has a very bad habit-he
makes use of toothpicks. He will
quit this. should the purchaser de-
sire, He also wears silk socks, but
he can break himself of this vice
without any trouble he says
"I've seen much OF the world and I
want to settle down and make for
tune" Marcy said 81 want to sell
myself, and ! don't care who buys
me, so long as get my price. I'm
sound of body and mind and have
ability. The advertisement of my
sale is an example of my creative
ability"

jim HILL PATS UNCLE JIM
Christmas Vacation Package Handed
n Track Walker on Northern
Pacific.

Uncle Jim Rowan got into New York
last week. all set for the first va
cation he has had for thirty-two years
1t will be a good one, too. and not the
least decent thing about it is that Uncle
Jim gets his vacation time. tickets from
the state Of Washington to Ireland and
back, little money TO spend with any
friends of his youth that he can dig up
in the County Kerry, all as the Christ
mas present from the company he has
given the best years OF his life to. Uncle
Jim is now 81 years old.
For thirty-two years Uncle Jim, as he
is known to every railroad man who passes
through the lonely town of Rosa, in the
Yakima canon in Washington. has been
busy on his job as track walker on the
Northern Pacific railroad. In all that
time he not only didn't have a vacation,
but never got day off Sundays and
holidays he trotted over his allotment of
track, and did his work CAREFUL. He
was never on sick leave, and winter and
summer, just before the transcontinental
trains sped through his district Uncle
Jim busted himself earning his wages.
A while ago he wrote to the division
superintendent asking II he might take
enough time off this Christmas to go to
Ireland. Trackwalkers are not figured In
a railroads scheme Of vacations, and the
superintendent wrote back wanting to
know why. The reply, painfully traced
ous by Uncle Jim, accompanied the SUI
perintendents letter when he wrote in to
the railroads headquarters in st. Paul
asking that Uncle Jim get the Christmas
present.
Jrm spoke of his years OF service and
how hard he had worked in his small
sphere. His relatives were all dead. he
said and he had set his heart on getting
to Ireland before he died himself, and
thought this year would be a good one.
The superintendent took the matter all
the way to the president Of the company.
The board of directors was interested
and all along the line there was an en-
thusiastic response.
So Uncle Jim, in the best suit of clothes
he could buy in North Yakima, the big
gest town near him, started east. On
arriving In New York he Went to the
company's offices at "a Nassau street.
There his steamship ticket was given him
and some spending money. His hotel
accommodation in New York was pro-
yided for, and so will IL be on the other
side.--New York Sun.
