The First Aston.

John Jacob Aston was born in the
little village Of Waldorf, in Germany,
In 1853, 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 COM
pany. He became a fur dealer, grad
ually gained control of the trade south
Of Lakes Huron and Superior, except
that which was in the hands of the
Mackinaw company and won reputa-
ton as a daring and resourceful oper-
ator which made his name known in
Montreal, st. Louis, London and Can
ton. He had dozen vessels af1oat,
representing capital of $1,000,000,
carrying furs to England and China
In 1900; and at the time that the pur-
chase of Louisiana in 1903 pushed
Dur boundary to the Rocky mountains
he was the wealthiest and most sue
cessful merchant in the United
States.-North American Review.

Wade admiringly. HE is 80 clever.
30 daring, and, above all. SO honest.
"A few years ago had an office boy
named Jasper. One day l sent Jas

never seen him since"
But, sir, you don't call that hon
est" cried the reporter.
"Yes-listen," said Mr.. McWade.
Last month l received a post card
containing these words:
Dear sir: Here is your post card.
I started specializing with the penny
you gave me to buy it., and am now
