The Profiteering Prof.

A POLISH agitator said In an a..
dress at Cooper Union:
"You ought to treat your profiteers
as the Warsaw people treated the
proflteering prof.
"This prof. was named Dr. Hauff. He
was Berliner. Well, q Polish gentle.
man wired him one day from Warsaw
that he was dying Of heart trouble.
and asked him II he wouldn't come on.
The prof wired back:
"'Will come-but fee 100000

Warsaw and when he got OF at the

him and told him that his patient was
dead.
"well, there was no train back till
the following evening. 50 the profit-
eering prof. went to a hotel. While he
was there he was kept very busy. AL
the people with heart trouble called on
him, and Of course he was glad to
treat them at reasonable rate, for
this would pay the expenses of his
trip. ,#
"The next evening, AZ the profiteer-
ing prof. was boarding the Berlin
express. the gentleman In mourning
touched him on the arm and said with
q chuckle:

where you please" he told his six
sons. Five of them accepted the offer.
The senator graduated at Delaware
College. in Newark. when he was
twenty-one. John Ball, OF course. paid
the bills; but the son spent his vaca-
tions at home, working in the fields.
One season. the son. looking over his
fathers ripening wheat said: @"You
will harvest thousand bushels"
you are wrong" John Ball an
swered. There will be no more than
500 bushels" s.@aA rt~
"Will you give me all that's over
500 bushels?' the son asked.
John Ball said that he would. John
Ball. you now understand, was on fine
terms with his children. One can al
most see John Ball in his home sur
rounded by his family. The wheat
yielded 1850 bushels. John Ball made
his word good without argument. The
son took the wheat. $50 bushels, and
sold it for $500. And then used the
money to pay his expenses at the
medical school. of the University Of
Pennsylvania.
The father had been meeting his
sons expenses and meant to pay them,
but" as the senator explained, II
didn't want. to be too hard on the head
Of the house."
Often there is q glorified member Of
a family-a person whom It Is a pleas
ure to talk about to the neighbors.
Usually this person lives at q dis
tance and sometimes is more or less Of
a mystery. AS a rule he or she is
wealthy; rarely pious. Children say:
my father can lick your father;
never "he is a better man."
There was such person in the Ball
family. His name was Baldwin and ne
was physician in Philadelphia-a
man of high standing. personally and
his sister and John Ball, again break
ing common human practice, was
proud of him. The more that is known
of John Ball. the more one likes him.
He was fine, old American character,
but more of model. perhaps. than q
type.

And the doctor. tall. slender and

The Balls. and they are worth
noting. even though one Of them we're

the year 1869 they took UP. through
royal grant, 500 acres of land. Some
thirty years later william Penn deed
ed them another tract equally as
large. As the Balls multiplied, the
land was divided. John Ball, father OF
the senator, inherited $50 acres OF the
original farm. He was good man
aeer and his land, six miles from Will
mington, paid him profit OF from
$4,000 to $1,000 year. His specialties
were blackberries. raspberries and
strawberries.
Besides John Ball brought up six
sons and two daughters. I'VE were

plain that the recollection pleased
him. Such recollections, however. do
