LUCKY sIxPENCE SAVED HIM
to Preserve Beau Brummell to
History's Pages.

tn" old superstition about the lucky
charm of Il crooked sixpence ros
early in the Eighteenth century, and
its author WAS none other than Beau
Brummel, the most famous Of the
worlds dandies, Brummel, although
the bosom friend Of the prince Of
Wales, came from common enough
stock, his grandfather having been a
valet. But he saved, as did Brum-
mell's father, and Brummell had some
$150,O00 to serve him. He became a
great gambler and a good loser, often
stalking thousands Of pounds. One
night he played at Walters club, and
when he rose from the table he was
a pauper. Not only that, but heavily
in debt.
He wandered out into the London
streets, with head downcast; and as
he strolled along he picked up a
crooked sixpence. In a whimsical mo-
ment he returned to the club and
matched it with a chance friend. He
won, matched again and again, and
won each time. The game changed
to shilling matches, and then to gold
pieces, and Brummell at the end Of
a few minutes found himself with two
or three pounds. He went to the
gaming table, sat down, and when
dawn came and the game closed he
had won over 10000 pounds, or about
100000. The crooked sixpence he car
ried with him for years, and shortly
after he lost it his bad luck arose
again, and he once more became a
DauDer.

Money in Producing Fuel.
With one of the practical, low-priced
power log saws now on the market,
the farmer can make his farm pay
substantial profits by producing fuel
"a commodity that has held up we'll
in price and for which there is an al
most unlimited demand. Then, too.
there is always a steady market for
ties, fence posts and timbers that
can easily and quickly be cut with
these lightweight, portable machines.
In this way the farmer, with little
work or expenses, can realize good
profits and still hang on to his grain
and live stock if he wants to, until
prices get better.
On nearly every farm in most sec
lions of the country there is timber
in more than sufficient quantities for
home use. There are live trees that
need to be taken out to give room for
younger ones to grow, or to clear the
land for cultivation: there are dead
trees that are allowed to decay; and
on thousands of farms, the banks of
rivers and creeks are lined with great
logs and other drift wood.
For many years the farmer has been
interested in, and has readily accept
ed, machinery that would save him
time, labor and money. Now he is
