His Fortunate lnVestm ent.

Sosthene Calais, former wholesale
oyster and ice cream dealer, who en-
tered into business in st. Louis as a
scissors grinder, and who accumulated
fortune estimated by his family at
S3,00O,0 900, through investment, several
years ago, of $4,000 in Oklahoma land,
on which oil later was found, died re-
Gently at his home in Tulsa, Okla.
Calais rise to riches Is one of the
most interesting of the many oil ro-
mances in Oklahoma. His original In
vestment had lain dormant for years
and he did not know that oil had been
discovered on his land until he received
his first royalty. Since then his wealth
had increased by leaps and bounds
until 1t enabled him to become the
largest individual property owner in
Tulsa, caused him to erect a 10-story
office building there as a monument to
the city near which he found his
wealth and carried him into affiuence.

RyE WAS'WAYO OFF
How HumoristS Were "Stung' in
Business Venture.
Rnecdote James Whitcomb Riley Used
to Tell, Dealing With the Wiles
of the PubIisher-AII They
Got Was Feed.

Among the many comical stories
told Of James Whitcomb Rileys expe-
rlenees with Nye was the history of a
book called "Nye and Riley'S Railway
Gulde, which gave them n broad per-
Sohal and legal experience with pub
fishers. From their first tour in 1856
thelr fancy ran riot with the idea of
a comic railway guide for just such
poor, Inflated travellers as they them
selves proved to be, for the man, as
they wrote in the introduction, "who
enormously gets into car which is
sldetracked and swept out and
scrubbed by people who take In cars
to scrub and laundry"
"Nye and l." Riley used to say.
thought little book made from our
readings might perhaps stanch long
felt public want. In fact. we grew en-
thusiastic as our eyes swept the pros
pect Nye, indeed, thought there was
money In 1t. 1 remember that, ins his
optimism. he wrote: Let us make
some money, be gosh, and put it in our
inside pocket. 1t feels bully Riley
always chuekled reminiseently at this
point in the story.
well, we went to Chicago to look
for a publisher, and there we found
one Ketchem & Skinnem who had a
sign on the door, Drop MSS. Here
we dropped ours and went away feel
Ing pretty good"
Riley then told of long wait, dur
ing which they wondered whether the
manuscript would be accepted; then
how glad they were to find the book
on sale at the news stands, and finally
how they paid q visit to the publishers
to inquire timidly into the matter of
royalties. The door was locked. Some
months later, in response to their let
ters, came an invitation to a banquet
given by the publishers in their honor.
Hopefully they presented themselves.
AS we filed in to dinner Nye whis-
pered to me- Think they'll hand us
checks with the cigars? Well, when
the cigars were passed at length the
publisher at the head of the table
pushed back his chair, put his finger
tips on the cloth, beamed on US, and
said:
Gentlemen and publishers. we
have met to do honor to our two illus
trious humorists tonight in an un-
usual way. We appreciate their hui
NOR, especially that which has made
our book so successful And in token
of our appreciation we now present to
them one hundred shares apiece in
our great company. Ahem-I believe
that is ALL
ut was all. Nye and l hoped at
first for the best, but neither of us
secretly could find any market for our
shares and the company never paid
any dividends before it went out of
business. "-Harper's Magazine.

The kaiserin,s BAGGAGE.

The kaiserin seems to have been
more fortunate than some queens in
the matter of luggage in her flight to
Holland, since her luggage though de-
scribed as rather shabby, was appar-
emily plentiful. As a rule escaping
queens have been badly provided.
When Charles Y and his encourage
were turned out of France one who
went down to see them remarked
that they had nothing In the way of
furnishings" though they had
money. Louis Philippe and his queen
crossing the channel as Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith, were ill-provided, and there is
the case of the exEmpress Eugene,
whose message to friend when she
reached England was "Come to me
| have nothlng-not even a handker-
chief !"

Decay of Mourning Wear.

Nothing Is more remarkable In our
social life at this time than the rar.
ity of conventional mourning, says
London Daily Chronicle. There are
millions of bereaved people in these
Islands, yet 1t is uncommon to en-.
counter anybody who wears the
'trappings and the suits of woe" We
have found juster way of showing
respect for the dead than by chang.
Ing the hue of our clothes. Only at
the two extremes, east and west, will
you now discover woman wearing
widows weeds"
