PRETTY PEGGY AND BILLY

shouted it, 50 that many others heard II.
They passed the word along. and poor Billy
Corcoran was Inundated to the dust.
He left the ballroom and did not attend
another dance for many a long day. He
brooded over the studied insult which was
studied, although seemingly an act OF haste.
He felt the disgrace OF being in trade, and
determined TO rise in the social world by
winning his way in the financial world.
Billy Corcoran made little money; but
out OF it he managed to save pennies and
dimes. He worked diligently, and he studied
too. He established a bank account. and
saw to it that the account was kept con-
stantly growing. He cherished an ambition
TO be a banker. and 50 secured employment
in bank. With increased income. his bank
account increased more rapidly.
Not many years elapsed before Billy Cor
COran learned how TO make money earn
money Soon he became a banker: then he
became eager to become a great banker. In
this also, because of the exercise OF the genius
OF labor. he succeeded. He became the
greatest banker in the city. He was rated a
millionaire at a period OF history when mill
lOnalreS were scarce.
1t happens that some Of the best people in
the best society occasionally, some of them
frequently. need money. They are obliged
to 90 to the banker. Although he is still
technically and actually in trade they do
not hurl it into the teeth OF the man who is
supplying their diroSt needs. Consequently,
Billy CorcOran was not only admitted into
society, but he was sought. He became
noted for his large charities. and was soon
known as the millionaire philanthropiSt."
Billy Corcoran, although no longer called
Billy, founded an art gallery and Home for
Elderly GcntlcWomcn. Into that home were
admitted the needy old ladies OF upper-tcn-
DOM and it was indeed a home for them.

YOUTH, with all its beauty and happiness,
L is unfortunate, in that youth has only
one view Of life; for youth cannot comprehend
old age, nor apprehend that it will ever come
During the delivery Of his SemiCentenary
sermon TO the congregation OF the Center
Church at New Haven. Connecticut. the late
Rev. DR.. Leonard Bacon concluded his fifty
year, OF active paStorate by comparing his
work in youth. and his work in age. TO the
difference in the opinions OF New Haven,
from different viewpoints. He said, as mem
DRY dictates:
When became pastor OF this church. in
the hcVdav OF my youth. | was a different
man from the veteran that stands before YOU
today. In youth and in age. although the
same individual spirit may animate the
body. the entities change.
he difference OF view concerning the
pastorate. after a lapse OF fifty years, is as
though YOU were TO stand on East Rock in
the morning when the shadows are falling
toward the west and overlook New Haven,
and then if you wee to stand on West Rock
when the shadows are falling toward the
east and view New Haven. Although we
know il is the same city, we see with our
mortal eyes absolutely different cities: this
different timcpolnts."
DR. BACON'S experience was also that OF
Pretty Peggy O'Nel!, who learned 4

of value TO Young folk. 1t was severe

inevitable according to the laws and equities

Billy Corcoran was clerk in shoe store
South of Mason and DiXons Line. in the
good old days. it WAS not regarded as credit
able for anyone TO be in trade. The man
who dealt in shoes or the man who dealt in
groceries or in other merchandise was not re-
gardcd as socially fit for companionShip with
certain classes of the people of this Republic.
The boys and young men who acted as
clerks or helpers to merchants were also re-

good society; and SO Billy Corcoran was not

gineer department, arrived at the Dis
trict Building yesterday morning. to his
great surprise, he was greeted with con-
gratulations from his felIow-employes
on the announcement in the newspapers

broke into a hearty laugh and explained
the whole matter.
On Wednesday Robertson went to the
courthouse, upon the request of w. r.
Johnston, assistant engineer in the high
ways department, to obtain a marriage
license for the latter. In some way the
wires got crossed and the license clerk
recorded Robertson instead Of Johnston
as the bridegroom-to-be.
