One directory that New York needs

Such volume would be highly APP

formerly held place in the public

Barton got the three refugees into

GAMBLER To A MILLIONAIRE
Wonderful Rise Of Nevada Man Who
Broke "The Bank" With
Senator'S Money.

From a gambler to q millionaire
mining man, politician, probable pres
ident of four banks, and on record as
having refused United States SEN
atoroship is the brief history of
George Wingfield, according to the
New York Tribune.
The story which was current in
the early days Of the Tonopah and
Goldfeld district was that Wingfield
in the pioneer period of the Tonopah
camp came out Of gambling house
ore evening and stood with a de-
spondent look on his face, when the
late Senator Nixon came along. The
senator greeted George, as he was
popularity known, and asked how his
luck was. Wingfleld replied that he
was broke. Nixon handed him some
gold and said:
"Try again, George" and passed on.
That money turned the trend of
fortune and Wingfeld broke the bank
and became owner of the gambling
house. From that time on his sue
cess seemed to be assured. He Sc
cured from the prospectsrs various
mining claims, including large inter-
ests In the leading mines in the Gold
field district, and as evidence of his
appreciation for the help OF Nixon
he gave the late senator an interest
in all his holdings.
After the senator's death Wingfield
was offered the Nevada senatorial
toga, but he refused 1t. It is stated.
however, that he will be the next
president of the banks which Senator
Nixon headed, Winnemucca, Carson,
Reno and Tonopah.

CHEER OF THE OLD HOME

They are hurTying out into the world
which has no time to make them
happy. II they are fortunate, as the
world says. they will probably have
homes, where old-fushioned and romp-
ing cheerfulness would skin It's shns

and most wholesome to look back
upon, are those when the hearty laugh
Of father would not split the lace cur
tains, and when mother could have
two big, healthy children upon her
lap while she was sitting down, with
safety TO all parties, in her rocker No
coin on earth costs so little to mint
and goes 80 far in paying life's heavy
expenses as Good Cheer. Pessimists
are made before children are ten
years of age, and pessimism comes
when child cannot turn golden
laugh into ready cash for LIES poverty
and its relief. We talk about the cru
city OF fathers depriving a child
of sufficient clothing. II is too bad;
but a child's toes would better be
rhddy and his ears tingle with cold
than to have a home with winter in
the atmosphere and the smiles all
freezing to death.
No child is prepared for the SUI

cannot laugh away all the COLLINS and
ghosts and break with the shining
wand OF Good Cheer the circle drawn
around him by any giant.
