carnegie's Hardest Bargain.

Andrew Carnegie, In his autobiog-
raphy, which Houghton hiffiin COM
pany is publishing, tells of his first
financial bargain. One Of his chief en-
Joyments was the keeping of rabbits.
and the pets naturally attracted the
small boys of-the nelghborhood. my
first business venture was securing
my companions services for season
as an employer, the compensation be-
Ing that the young rabbits, when such
came, should be named after them.
The Saturday holiday was generally
spent by my flock In gathering food
for the rabbits. My conscience re-
proves me today, locking back, when
I think of the hard bargain l drove
with my young playmates, many Of
whom were content to gather dande-
lions and clover for a whole season
with me, conditioned upon this unique
reward-the poorest return ever made
to labor"

SUNDAY HALF A CENTURY AGO
Spirit and Letter Of Commandment
Both Thoroughly obeyed In
Western New York.

My mother was born and reared IN
little country village In western New
York. On the farm where my grand.
mother lived It was the custom to be-
gin Sunday on Saturday night at sun
down. The "hired man" came In from
the chores, grandmother put away all
her work in the kitchen, and then the
entire family gathered in the "best
room" and studied the Sunday-school
lesson. or had a reading from the
Bible. led by grandfather. and all the
family retired not later than . o'clock.
In the morning. after doing none
but the absolutely necessary chores on
the farm. the team that had not been
used the day before was hitched up to
the big four-seated wagon and the en-.
tire family including the "hired" help.
went to church. There was preaching
service in the forenoon, and then we
adjourned to lunch for ourselves
and the team. Then we went In to
Sunday-school service, and after an In
terval there was another preaching
service, after which we hitched up
and drove slowly back to the farm.
That was the way Sunday was kept

ROYAL PERSON WELL CARRIED
Augustus OF Poland Had Clothes Sui.
ficient for Regiment-AIso Had
Other ldiosyncrasies.

Gentlemen of fashion today are mere
paupers when 1t comes to attire. as
compared to what King, Augustus Ill
of Poland deemed necessary to his
comfort. He filed twj great halls with
clothes and had a special watch, snuff
box, sword and cane for every one of
his hundreds of suits. To go with
them he also had 1900 wigs. Five ar
lists were kept busy painting minia-
lures Of the clothing and keeping these
paintings in catalog that the king
might select from each day as he
rose.
He took the lovely countess Of
COzelle As his wife, and the mere fact
that she had husband already mat
tered little. He appeared at her door
one day with horseshoe in one hand
and a bag of 100000 crowns in the
other. The gold he tossed at her feet
to demonstrate his wealth and gener-
Gus instincts. and the horseshoe he
broke with his bare hands to demon
strate his strength and determination.
The lady, impressed, got rid of her hus-
band at once, obtaining divorce of
the sort that allowed of remarriage.
Suspicious historians have limited that
the horseshoe might have been filed
bit before the singly hand tore 1t
apart.

BLIND OK, KEPT FROM
FRIENDLY GANDER, DIES

Greensboro, Ala, Apr. 1.-The
blind OK, famous as the protege of
a stately gander, on the ]. A. Mol
croft plantation, near here, is dead
and those on the farm believe his
death is due directly to enforced
separation from his guardian.
Recently il became necessary to
transfer the OK to another pasture.
The gander was unable to follow.
The separation was too much for
the OK and he pinned and dropped,
refused food and drink and finally
laid down and died
The OK and gander attracted
widespread attention by their
strange friendship. Each day at
regular intervals, the gander would
lead the OK to water by strutting
ahead of him honking loudly so
that his afflicted ward could follow
the sound. If other cattle approach
ed the fowl would fly furiously at
them and drive the intruders of.
