Yankton.-A five dollar bill was he
nucleus of a comfortable fortune for
Bodine, the merchant at the state in
sane asylum. With that money sent
him a few years ago, this patient OF
the state hospital built up a business
that was recently valued in stocn
alone at nearly 1900.
Now discharged and permitted to
join his wife in North Dakota, Bodine
has sold his stock at the invoice fig
ures, and a cooperative store here
after will be managed on behalf OF
the institution and for the pleasure
and comfort of the inmates among
whom Bodine spent twelve years Of
his life.
That little store which has pros
perod under the magic touch OF an in
sane man will long testify to Bodine's
genius. The first five dollars, ent him
from an unknown source, he invested
in cigars and chewing gum. There
was a demand for such commodities.
He added a stock Of candy.
The business grew. It's profits soon
enabled him TO buy cases for the CT
gars and the gum and the candy, and
from that time on Bodine felt as il
he were a merchant with many re
spOnsibilities. He took a great pride
in the little place that was set aside
for him in the basement of the ad-
ministration building. Every day he
was on the job. courteous to his GUS
toners and prompt i'll waiting on
them.
Pretty soon he installed a phono-
graph, and then came decorations Of
ornaments and signs to hide the bare
ness of the walls. Bodine's store was
voted a palace by the inmates and all
visitors TO Yankton included it in
their itineraries.
The institution has 1000 inmates
and lao employees. There are hun
dreds Of visitors in the summer time
and Bodine added soft drinks to his
stock. His mind might not have been
normal but he understood the law of
supply and demand.
Not long ago ris wife and adult son
moved to North Dakota. They want
ed BOdine to come to them. DIR.
Meade. communicating with the gov
n of the state, explained the sit
uation to him and the gubernatorial
consent was given to the project of
permitting Bodine to so to North Da-
kota, providing this state should as
sumo all responsibility in the future
should it be necessary TO return him
to an asylum.
