HIS START AS A FINANCIER
Dennis Enthusiastic Over Proposition
of Saving, But of Course, He Had
to Live.

While building hotel in st. Angus
tine, Fla, the late Mr.. H. M. Flagler
had in his employe man who, when
sober, was a valuable workman. But
Dennis was self-indulgent and pay day
was sure to be followed by his pro-
longed absence from work.
While on a tour of inspection one
day, Mr.. F1agler overheard the old
man talking to himself, unconscious
that he had listener.
Thank Cod" exclaimed Dennis,
"only two more hours to keep sober" "
Mr.. Flagler approached him as
though he had not heard him, and
said:
Dennis, you have been receiving
good wages for long time. Have you
anything laid up for a rainy day."
"Divil thing, sor, but an umbrelly," Z"
replied Dennis, with a grin, "and
that's broke"
Don't you think it would be good
thing for you to put part Of your
wages in the savings bank when you
get them?" asked his employer.
81 do, sor," agreed Dennis with the
alacrity which he always exhibited in
accepting any proposition that was
made to him, good or bad.
The following day, unabashed by
the presence of Mr.. Flagler, he ap-
piled to the bookkeeper for an ad-
vance upon his wages for the ensuing
week. How is this, Dennis?" in
quired Mr.. Flagler, you were paid
only yesterday.
Wasn't it yerself bid me put me
wages in the bank, sor? Didn't l do
as yer bid me?" replied Dennis with
an injured air, "and how can be liv
in this long week widout any
money!"
