About ten years ago came to Chica-

After studying all those isms and

hungry for the world, to get into
business, make money and cut

for any youth to have these ambi-
lions, for it is what makes the world
go round. 1 did not like law after
studying at it two years. The COM
mon sense part of law liked, but the
rank rulings, decisions, unjust stat
utes and codes hated.
One day while sitting on a bench
over near the Midway, just before
started a year at Chicago university
law school along came a man selling
furniture polish and he sold" me.
He introduced me to an ex-saloon-
keeper, ex-horse race man and every
thing that was ex, including money,
but had the money.
We three formed a corporation to
sell furniture polish, but before a
year and half they showed me how
to spend over $1,000. The manager
handled the cash and 1 handed over

WISHED THE PURE GOODS

She hadn't shopped much in the
eastern city and she had been warned
that she would have to keep a wealth
er eye out or she would have shoddy
goods put off on her. She was care
full shopper and didn't intend to let,
the big city stores get the best of her.
She had tried the patience of the
woman who was making the rounds
with her by twisting the silk to see
whether it had cotton in it, and chew
ing threads of the wool goods to see
whether it was all wool, but it seemed
to her city cousin that the limit had
been reached when they went to the
1O-cent store to buy sugar bowl and
cream pitcher. The careful buyer
hemmed and hawed for a long time
over two sets, and when she had fin
ally decided, and had paid for the
goods. she took last look at the
other set, saying regretfully: 81 liked
them lots the best, but they didn't
