LET HIS OPPORTUNITY GO
Now New York Lawyer Is Regretting
His Lack of Foresight That
Cost Fortune. o..

II suppose every man who has lived
very long among the men who do
things looks back with some degree
of regret upon not exactly what he
has lost, but what he might have had
if his foresight had been as good as
his hindsight," said New York law
yer. II am one of these, and it didn't
happen a great while ago, either.
AN inventive friend of mine who
had given me his legal~business to at
tend to came around one day with a
new thing in doing something or other
to rubber and told me if l cared to go
in half with him could do so by put
ting up a certain amount of money.
The amount was small enough, but l
hadn't any to spare and less to lose,
and told him l was satisfied with the
legal part of my connection, and
didn't care to risk any of my hard
earned savings. He wasn't broke by
a whole lot, and told me he wasn't
offering the chance to anybody else,
and I'd better take it, but l wouldn't
be persuaded. He gave me gentle
laugh of scorn and went his way,
mot long after he went abroad
with his invention and was gone three
or four months, letting me hear from
him occasionally, and saying all was
going well. Next 1 had cablegram
telling me when he was sailing, and
to meet him the following week Tues
day at certain dock. I was there
when the ship came in, and he was
feeling so good that he fairly yelled
at me as he came down the gang
way. And he had reason to yell and
I had reason to kick myself, for he
had sold his process or invention for
$735, 900 in cash and $2,250,000 in the
stock of the new corporation. You
see would have been millionaire
that very minute if my foresight had
been worth anything and I had taken
his offer when I had the chance. OF
course it meant some luck to me, for
the fees grew, and I got $4,000 or
more out of it, but $4,000 doesn't
make a millionaire, does it?"

USE QUAINT PHRASES
INDIAN BOYS WRITE HUMOROUS
YET PATHETIC LETTERS.
One Complained That Mules "InJured
His Religion"-Low Wages and
Hard Work Has Embittered
Life of Another.

The struggles of Indian boys in the
different schools with the English Ian
guage are revealed in a batch of let
ters in the possession of A. s. Wyly,
! superintendent Of Indian schools in
Oklahoma.
An Indian boy on farm wrote: II
am not going to use those mule teams
any longer than I can help. They in
jure my religion: l have to scold them
and use bad words before I can get
them a-going on such speed as l want
them. These facts are true, to be wit,
by God"
"I just received your good sarsa-
parilla letter and your picture" wrote
another. II can feel that it Is purify
ing and enriching, the letter and the
picture, acting gently on my liver and
framer. Write me, am in love with
the truth"
Another Indian boy placed on a
farm wrote letter of objection to that
kind of labor, and gentle complaint
as to the wages he received.
"My honored school father and
| friend" he wrote to Superintendent
Wyly, "now I am going to write you
this day and inform you how like my
place. First of all matters 1 would say
earnestly l don't like it. / think the
trouble is I am too big for him, be-
cause he told me right before my face,
he said he rather have a small boy, so
he can give him Sc or 81 month for
his labor. This was when first came
to this place and ever since he has
had same opinion.
Another thing he can't give me
higher wages, he wouldn't do it for
any man, and yet the tight-wad wants
me to work on two farms and yet he
only give me SO a month, gracious

month keeping house. would rather
be housekeeper than work on two
farms at $40 month"

DANCING MASTERS
 MEET IN CONVENTION

CHICAGO, August SO.-Life here is just one foxtrOt after another It got that way at an early hour and will continue so until September 2. The reason being that 45O members of the American National Association of Masters of Dancing-incIuding Louis Fretlow, 70 years young,-are one stepping around the Blackstone hotel getting ready for their 3Srd annual convention
 Don't forget Fretlow. When it comes to the conception and execution of steps that stagger, he's very heavy in the head and light as a feather in the feet. He has done wonders. they say, taking the heaviness out of aspir- ing feet and putting it in the very light heads that accompanied them.
 The masters used Co meet about the time the first robin was poking his nose over the MaSon-DiNon line. but their pupils objected; said they must have the very latest steps we'll in foot before the very earliest weeks of the winter dancing season.
 About the only step these 45O de- bonair gentlemen didn't invent is the lockstep. But nobody cares because that's going out.
