TICKLE FORTUNE.
Nemanes Of q Diseredited Gold and
Copper Mine.

When the great mineral wealth OF
this nation has been finally developed
q chronicler will write the American
Arabian Nights of Mining" One OF
tbe tales, all of which will be true, will
run somewhat as follows:
Once upon time there was a poor
man Of the name Of Billy Harris. who
lived at Spokane. Wash. He was a
horseman. among other miscellaneous
activities, and had acquired consid.
srable block of stock in certain Leroi
Aiming company, having taken most of
II in payment from those who owed
him money and who had no other as
sets more tangible. This stock had
Kicked about without sponsor for
two years and was nominally quoted at
around 10 cents a share.
One day friend came along with a
handsome stallion. and Billy looked up
on the animal with covetOus eyes. Dick
efing began and ended by his paying
over IS. 600 of the stock for the stallion.
The seller, on sober reflection. became
dissatisfied with his bargain and
brought suit to recover the horse. He
won. and Billy. with sigh. took back
his stock and babe the animal fond
farewell.
Eighteen months later Billy sold the
same stock for $2J0.O00 and the re-
msinder of his holdings for as much
again. The Leroi mine was taken over
by Whitaker Wright and an English
syndicate and produced $4O.OO0,000 in
gold and copper. 1t is not on record
what the original owner o. the stallion
said or thought-and perhaps it is just
us well.-Wall Street Journal.

Microscopic Engraving.

Perhaps the greatest feat of micro
scopic engraving was accomplished b.
Jewish farmer in Alberta. who pre-
pared an address Of welcome to the
Duke of COnnaught The address was
inscribed in Hebrew on a grain OF
wheat and contained no fewer than
200 letters. So fine was the lettering
that microscope was necessary to
read the inscription with any ease
