A Daring and Resourceful Operator In
the Fur Trade.
John Jacob Astor was born in the lit
tie village of Waldorf, in Germany, in
1863, just as France at the close Of
the Seven Years war was ceding
Canada to England. He sailed to our
side of the Atlantic in 1888, when
George Ill. in the treaty Of Paris was
acknowledging our independence and
when the merchants of Montreal were
establishing the Northwest company.
He became a fur dealer, gradually
gained control of the trade south Of
Lakes Huron and Superior, except
that which was in the hands of the
Mackinaw company, and won repu-
tation as daring and resourceful OPP
orator. which made his name known
In Montreal, st. Louis, London and
Canton.
He had a dozen vessels afioat, repre-
senting a capital of $1,000,000, carry
ing furs to England and China in
1900. and at the time that the pur-
chase of Louisiana In 1903 pushed our
boundary to the Rocky mountains he
was the wealthiest and most success
full merchant in the United States
North American Review.

The Simple Maid.

Twas in Il simple country town, and
the maid of all work was simple and
innocent in sympathy. When she re-
turned from shopping half sovereign
short in her change Mrs. Mango.
Chutney was naturally incensed.
GO back to each shop, you careless
GIRL" she told the weeping maid, land
tell them you are half a sovereign
short in your money and they must
give 1t you"
Susan went and was back again in
half an hour. Entering her mistress
sanctum, she laid FIVE half sovereigns
on the table before her. Faithful as
always, she had carried out Mrs
Mango-C hutney's instructions to the
letter, and each shopkeeper. fearful OF
doing wrong and hurting fellow crea
ture, had thrust the missing coin upon
the bewildered girl.-London Answers

The Man of Leisure.

Most of our rich men work very hard
not always because they want to, but
in many instances because they have
to. The husbandry of a big estate In
itself may be task for the whole OF
the time and thought, not of one man,
but of several. AS general thing it
is fair to say that our only man OF
leisure is the tramp. The social pariah,
the mutineer against the rule Of work,
is the only one who can be sure of
care free. sybaritic existence, and even
he lives in constant danger of rock salt
from the farmers gun or the onslaught
of the watchdog around the corner as
the hobo knocks at the kitchen door
or pauses. at the water trough to drink.
The poor tramp is certainly a more
frequent social phenomenon than the
rich one-Philadelphi Ledger.

One of the earls of Mimic had a
kindly nature. One day Hawick an
gler was throwing his line on the river
near Mimic when a tall gentleman
came up to him and inquired what
kind of sport he was having. The
fisher replied that it wars not very
good and that he could do better II
he were at the other side of the water,
adding, I'm gle We sixpence IL yen
carry me across" The bargain was
struck, and the gentleman, getting the
angler on his back. carried him through
the water to the other side. True to
his promise, the angler produced the
sixpence, which he proffercd TO the
stranger, who, however, smiled and
remarked, "Give 1t to the first beggar
you meet and tell him 1t Is a present
from the Earl of Mimic"
