PROVING LUCK REALLY GXsDsTs
HOW THE UNFORTUNATE PRIME MINISTER CONVINCED THE
CALIPH THERE is SUCH \ THING AS CHANCE.

Walking the streets Of Bagdad in
deep detection. he came upon a Ven
der of fruits. from whom he purchas-
ed a small basket of luscious black
cherries. AS he began eating them his
teeth encountered the hard pit, and
suggestion upon which he proceeded
to act without loss of time.
In the bazaar he found the shop OF
a jeweler, where he bought an assert
ment of precious stones Then he
caused the pits to be taken from the
cherries and in their places were put
the diamonds. pearls, rubies and other
precious baubles he had just bought.
Replacing the charms in the basket he
sailed forth into the highways of the
city when he happened upon a couple
OF blind beggars summing themselves
by a stone wall. BY the promise of a
reward he induced these worthless to
accompany him to the palace, where
the! were placed diagonally opposite
to each other in the corners of a very
large room.
He then caused his royal master to
be summoned. The Caliph came
promptly. for he felt a fondness for
his minister and was 10th to see him
lose his life.
The Vizier then placed the vessel
containing the cherries in the center
VI the room and informed the two
beggars that he had done so and that
whoever found them could keep them.
The two blind men CROPPED a long
time. until on of them found the
fruit and began to eat. His compani-
on begged for a portion of the find and
urged their common misfortune as a
ground for this request. mo! MOI"

sample, could you. I have an

That's good. Originality

shall have one, certainly"
John Bartley's idea was based
on a system of smiles. He took
his sample and the pasteboard
advertisement under his arm and
left the store, the memory of the
encouraging treatment of Miss
Dennison buoying him up con-
siderably.
He struck out for the suburbs.
There seemed to be different
class of people among the trees
and the flowers and the lawns.
At the first house at which John
stopped its mistress was seated
on the porch.
John began diffdent, he wound
up eloquent. First he showed the
picture. He declared that smiles
meant health, wealth and happi-
ness. He claimed that any one
using his carpet sweeper could
not help but become satisfied,
well nigh gay over the economic,
sanitary and labor-saving fea-
lures it represented. He sold one
sweeper. The purchaser gave
him the address of sister. The
sister sent him to a neighbor, the

night he could pay up.
Every morning John reported
to Miss Dennison, every morning
that encouraging smile of hers
armed him for a day of striving
and victory.
He learned that her name was
Mabel. He discovered that she
lived with an invalid mother.
With his first new suit of clothes,
proudly earned, he was prouder
still to be invited to call at her
home.
At the end of six months John
was in charge of the solicitors and
had money saved at bank. A
year later he heard of pretty
suburban cottage at a bargain,
and wondered to Mabel if he
could get anybody to help him
live in it.
There was a wedding so full of
happy smiles that everybody had
the best time of their lives, and
the first picture to decorate the
walls of the new home was the
smiling advertisement that had
