solidate some of the supply houses. The men behind this consolidation wanted their customers to benefit through the economies introduced. They wanted MT. Moynihan to share. If MT. Moynihan would agree to buy his supplies from the combination he would find it greatly to his advantage. The combination would sell to the general trade at a certain figure, but to men like MT. Moynihan, whose ac- counts were large, and whose trade was we'll worth having, a concession would be made. This concession would not be made at the time of purchase of goods, but a check representing a certain percentage of his purchases would be sent to him at the end of each month, or at the end of each quarter.
 "Is it ray-bate that you mean?" inquired Timothy J. Moynihan. /
 Well" said the other gentleman, smilingly, you might call it re- bate"
 I've been in business since 1S59," said MT. Moynihan, land I've never had ray-bate and I don't want one. I'll buy where I please and when please. I don't know whether your scheme is honest or crooked, but you have brought me here on false pre- 1 tinses, and Pm sorry that I've had meat and drink with you Waiter!" he roared, and when a waiter came he demanded to know what the bill was for what he had had. When told tho amount, he paid it, gave a generous tip to the waiter and stamped out of the dining room.
 Effects of the Combine.
 Quick to anger and quick to forget, MT. Moynihan didn't think much of the affair of the dining room. He no- ticed, however, that very decided change was coming over the hardware trade. Small establishments closed, men with whom he had done business for many years sold out and took posi- tions as managers or salesmen in big ger concerns. Slowly but surely nearly all the hardware supply busi- ness of San Francisco came under one head. Coineident with this change

 MT. Moynihan had one tooth, bald head and temper. The tooth was in the upper gum directly in the center and made quite show when MT. Moynihan engaged in conversation. The badness of his head was ex- pansiye. There was only a fringe of hair about his ears and the back of his neck and this fringe was stained and dyed by the grime of the shop. His temper was unimpaired. It had developed with his years. He was a boilermaker. It was his proud boast that he had started in business in 1859. His shop was in Beale street, San Francisco.
 He made good boilers, as is testified to by the fact that fair share of the steamers that plowed the Pacific were equipped with Moynihan's boilers. So long as you didn't cross the old man he was delightful to deal with. He had rich store of Irish wit and could tell a story as well as any man. When he was angered, however, he was primitive. Old as he was, he wasn't averse to a fist fight. Age had not

St, GeneVieVe.

St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, was consecrated at the age of seven to the service of religion by St. Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, who chanced to pass through the village of Nanterre, where she lived, about four miles from Paris. She acquired a great reputation for sanctity. The church of St. Genevieve, completed in 1764, was named in her honor. Dur ing the revolutionary period it was withdrawn from the service of relig- ion and called the Pantheon, but was afterward restored in name and to ecclesiastical uses.

withered his muscles. He was rich, proud and an earnest, hard-working citizen.
 A score of times propositions were made to him to combine his plant with that of others. Invariably he would answer: T started here in '59. I made boilers before you were born, or anyhow before you were anything but a wee bit of gossoon. I've run my shop without your help or anybody else's help. I'll run it myself until I die; so that's all there is about it"
 If the caller tried to argue with him the old man would arise in his wrath and say Get out of my place." and if the visitor wasn't spry the old man man would push him into the street.
 Some O, the smaller boiler works combined, but 1t didn't affect Moynis han. His reputation was so we'll es- tablished and his patrons were so well satisfied that he went along year by year making plenty of boilers, making a fair bit of money and perfectly con tented.

prices of material advanced He had hha | to pay more for his steel, for his riv- cts, for his tubes, for his hammers, his sledges, everything that he bought. He let out roar of protest every time prices were advanced, but it was of no use. He tried to get supplies from the few small concerns that still continued in the business, but their figures were as high as those of the biggest establishments, if not higher.
 What can't be cured must be en- dured, so MT. Meynihan reluctantly gave his orders to the big house. To meet the advance in prices of material he raised his price on boilers Some of his patrons protested. He told them material had gone up and he wouldn't make any more out of the job at the Higher price than he did at the lower. A few went to rival boiler makers and, much to Mir. Moynihan's surprise, didn't return to him. That year Moy- nihan's business dropped off and his profit for the twelve months was very small. The next year it dropped off more and instead of profit he had a deficit. Customer after customer left him. The old man tried not to show his chagrin, but he took the decline of his business very much to heart.
