ALEXANDER c. ovERSHINER.

Here we have somebody whose
smiling features will be easily recog-
.nized. Indeed it is hardly necessary
to put name under the picture that
ornaments this column.
In the year eighteen hundred and
blank, in the city of Hopkinsville, a
blue-eyed baby was born, barefooted
boy. He was born in the shadow of
the Christian church and what could
have been a more appropriate name
than Alexander Campbell Overshiner.
Perhaps his proud parents INDUCED
the fond hope that little Alex, as he
was affectionately called, would some
day grow up to be .agreat preacher,
but up to late hour last night Alex
was still outside of the ministry.
The story of this infants marvellous
career reads like dime novel. He
grew up on the streets of Hopkins
vile just like Owsley Stanley, Hugh
Martin and other little gutter-snipes
of the same period, who have done
almost as well as Alex.
By the time he had reached the age
of fifteen years he knew all that he
might, could or would learn in the
public schools, and always on the
lookout for something different, he
secured his first job in the Office of
the late Penny Turner, who invested
several hundred dollars of good mon
ey in new tangled scheme to talk
over a wire and promptly dropped all
he had. He and Alex worked hard
to introduce the innovation and just
to encourage a worthy young man
and an exceedingly bright boy, Is or
80 people subscribed for the "tele-
phones" as they were called. By
going in debt some and doing his own
work and letting Alex answer the
calls for the fun he got out OF listen
ing, Penny ran almost year before
the fool thing busted on him.
One morning Alex found himself
out of job. There was general
protest against his running at large
on the streets and his father conceived
the idea of improving his naturally
brilliant mind by letting it come in
contact with the scholarly intellect of
the late Maj. j. o. Terrell, who was
at that time making speciality of
taking almost any kind of boy anil
tanning him down until he would eat
out of his mothers hand.
Under its favorable surroundings
Alexis mind expanded rapidly and he
learned so much that he resigned
two or three days before the final ex-
aminations were held-this however
being a mere coincidence--and was
induced to accept a lucrative position
under the United States government
AS a clerk in the postoffice, he utilized
his skill acquired in licking other boys
by licking postage stamps by getting
behind their backs. Holding lucra-
tive position il was natural that he
should learn the value of lucre and he
soon evolved science for making
money based on the philosophical
system OF making money and not
spending il. The first year he made
$500. At the end Of the year he found
that he had saved 1912. The extra
awnings came from his financial sys-
ten Of making his early dollars, like
