The Generous Uses to Which Henry Ward Beecher Put It, In his \Becentrieities of Genius\ Ma- jor Pond says that often while travel- Ing Henry Ward Beecher improved his time by having what he called \a gen- eral bousccleaning\ of his pockets, which would-get loaded up'with letters fnd papers until they could hold no more, when he would clear them out nud destroy such papers as were worth-; logs. On one occasion Beecher happened to put his hand in the watch pocket of his pantaloons and found there a little envelope which he opened. When fo siw its contents, he called Major Pond to sit beside him and remarked: \You remember the evening I married G. P. Huntington. I was so much in- torested in the subject that I forgot ho handed me a little envelope as he went out of the door. . I put itrin the | watch pocket of my pantaloons and never thought of it again until Just | now, and here It is, four $1,000 bills. Now,\ he said, \don't tell any one about it, and we will have a good time and make some bappiness with this money. - We will Just consider that we found It.\ Aud so in a day or two Mr. Beecher went with Major Pond to look at a cargo of fine orlental rugs, many of which he purchased and sent to differ- ent friends, and afterward he spent what remainad of the money for coin silyer lamps, unmounted gems and va- rlous pleces of bric-a-brac, all of which he gave away until he had used up the entire $4,000 \in making happiness among those whom he loved.\ After Mr. Beecher's death the major related to Mr. Huntington the incident of this discovery of the four $1,000 bills, and the railway magnate observ- ed: \I should never have given them} It was all wrong, I made a Money never did him any to him. mistake. good.\ The Questions of Clarence. \Well Clarence, what is it?\ asked the boy's papa. \I didn't say anything, papa,\ replied Clarence. \I know you didn't, but it is fully five | minutes since you asked a question, and I know from experience that an- other is due about this time.\ \Well papa, what are all those big United States flags made of?\ asked the hoy. \Some of them are made of silk Clarence, but by far the greater num ber are made of bunting.\ \And papa?\ \Well Clarence? * \Are the little flags made of baby bunting Commercial-Ga- zette. Give Everybody a Chance. Emerson's dictum that we should treat every one as If he were all he ought to be is an excellent rule to prac- tice in daily life,. It is human nature to rise to the level that is expected of It. It is not necessary to waste time upon uncongenial people unless you are bound to them by strong family ties, but it is Important that all with whom you come in contact be studied, with the desire on your part to give credit for all that is good in them and that nothing in their outward clreumstances or appearance be allowed to prejudice you against them.-Ada C.

With Soap Candles and Bottles of Rninwater He Fooled the Public and Laid the Foundations of s Substantial Fortune. > \Talk about your self made men,\ said an old timer among a party of horsemen gathered in one of the speed. way iuns, \I don't think any of 'em van equal the early experiences of Tim Hartman, who died in St. Louis many years ago, leaving nearly a million dol- tars to be fought over by his heirs. He made his first good sized pile on pat- ent medicines, then he picked up a great deal more on real estate, and at fast he rounded out with speculation in Montana copper, but he was known as 'Doc' Hartman to the time of his death by his few intimate friends. \But the story that I'm going to tell, | and the one which be often told him- self, concerns his very earliest experi- ences in the accumulation of money. Tim Hartman started life with $1. He kicked around as a barefooted boy- and a pretty mean one, too-in a little town in Connecticut until he was 19 years old, and at that time he had be- come so fresh and so full of wind and general cussedness that his father one day told him he was no good, never bad been and never would amount to a picayune. The old gentleman, just to carry out the bluff, told Tim that he bad a good mind to cut him off with a dollar and make him earn his own liv- ing. Tim straightened up and called | the bluff. He told the old man that he would take the dollar and get out then and there and hustle for himself. The old man handed him a crisp $1 bill and told him that he'd be glad to see him make a fortune with it. \The first thing that cuss did was to go about in a few back yards that he knew of and gather together a lot of empty bottles which were of no use to anybody. Then, for 10 cents, he bought a large cake of a kind of white soap that was then, and still is, on the mar- fet. He melted this soap and, after borrowing an ancient pair of candle molds from an old granny in the neigh- borhood, made two beautiful looking candles of sory. He next filled his bot- tles full of choice rainwater. Then ho made for himself one of those little three legged tables like the chuck-a luck and shell game guen use outside the cireus, and struck out on foot for a county fair that was being held about 40 miles away. \When he got there, he put up his lit- tle table outside the grounds, where the crowd was pretty thick, lighted one of his soap candles and began to extol the virtues of 'Dr. Hartman's Famous Grease Eradicator, contained in the bottles set before him. \'Now ladies and gentlemen,' he would shout in a stentorian but plausi- ble voice, 'this marvelous liquid, so harmless that it can be drunk with im- punity by the smallest infant and yet so penetrating that it will seek out and destroy stains and discolorations frem the most refractory substance, was dis- covered by accident by the famous sct entist, Dr. Hartman, the eminent schow ar, while he was wandering o'er the wilds of Patagonia. It is colorless, you see, as the waters from heaven, and yet observe the effects of its startling properties\ \At this point Tim would reach for his soap candle and, inverting it, would smear a lot of the grease over the sleeve of his coat. \'Now every one of you knows, la- dies and gentlemen,' he would continue, reaching over and uncorking a bottle of his rainwater, 'that there is nothing so penetrating and ineffaceable as the grease from a candle, and yet it is a stain that we are all likely to suffer al- most every evening of our lives while toying with that common article of the household, the candle, You will ob- serve that my sleeve is smeared with, the annoying substance. Behold'- \Here that country bred fakir would spill a couple of drops of his rainwater on the soap and with a rub or two | would produce a beautiful lather. An- other swipe and the soap would have entirely disappeared from the sleeve, leaving not a trace. \'Now we make this famous eradi- eator in such enormous quantities,' Tim would continue, 'that in order to intro- duce it into every home in this broad land we will dispense with it at the absurdly low price of 5 cents, a nickel a bottle. Step right up! Step right up? p \Then when the public was surging forward to purchase the rainwater, Tim would pause occasionally to drink a bottle of it, Just to show that It was absolutely harmless. \Well the stuff went like hot cakes. When Tim's bottles were all exhausted, he bought more, and when the fair was over he went to another and another until he had traveled all over the coun- try. Then, in some way or other, I don't know how, he got hold of some old patent medicine, and, being a gen- | lus, of course he made a big go of it. So that's the way Tim Hartman almost became a millionaire.\ -New York | Times. Evarts and the Author, When a popular young author came to see Willliam M. Evarts while he was secretary of state in behalf of a consul- ship for which he was an applicant, Mr. Evarts congratulated him on the fame which he bad acquired, but has- tened to add, \Although you have lau- rels on your brows, I suppose you can't browse on your laurels.\ A More Vital Matter. \Did you ever think what you would do if you had the Duke of Westmin- ster's income?\ Village Pastor-No, 'but I have some- times wondered what the duke would do if he had mine,-London Baptist. se ce cl mes ~mman P WORKING IN PUBLIC. Show Window Artisans Can Come mand Good Remuneration. A Broadway shoe manufacturer was asked what method of advertising he found most profitable. \Placing my men near the window,\ he said, \so they can work in view of the public. I don't know of anything that catches the attention of the passer- by more quickly than the sight of a, demonstrator sitting close to the win- dow running a machine for dear life. \\fanufacturess of all kinds of goods have adopted this plan. Waistmakers put their most skilled workers on exhi- bition to show how the finest garments fre cut and sewed. Cigar manufactur- ers take the public into their confidence and let them see the process of rolling as performed by the cleverest hands. Men who deal in mechanical contriv- ances have found that it pays to have at least one machine set up near a win- dow so the crowd outside may observe the intricacy of its parts and the rapid- ity of its action. Jewelers have station- ed their most expert lapidaries within view of the street that possible custom- ers may see how precious stones are cut and polished and set. \It isn't everybody who can work in public. It takes a person with good strong nerves and concentration of thought to do difficult work in a show window. I have men in my employ who are excellent workers, but they get flustered when subjected to unusu- al surveillance and ruin everything they put their hands to. I have tried some of them as window operators, but they can't get used to it. \A man who can run a machine at full tilt or paint a picture or fry pan- cakes or iron a shirt in the full gaze of the public eye and not lose his head is an artist and worth several dollars more a week to his employer than the more modest individual. And he gets it too.\-New York Sun. MEN'S VIEW OF WOMEN. Earth has nothing more tender than a plous woman's heart.-Luther. Remember, woman is most perfect when most womanly.-Gladstone. Lovely woman that caused our cares ran every care beguile:-Beresford. He that would have fine guests let him have a fine woman.-Ben Jonson. A woman's strength is most potent when robed in gentleness.-Lamartine. Disguise our bondage as we will, 'tis woman, woman, rules us still. Oil and water, woman and a secret, are hostile properties.-Bulwer Lytton. Women need not look at those dear to them to know their moods.-How- ells. . ' Kindness in woman, not their beaute- ous looks, shall win my love.-Shake- speare. _ Raptured man quits sage, O woman, for thy lovelier page! -Moore. He is a fool who thinks by force or skill to turn the current of a woman's will. -Samuel Tuke. The most beautiful object in the world, it will be allowed, is a beauti- ful woman.-Macaulay. If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, the mist is dispelled when | a woman appears.-Gay. Taking Sunday Collections. An old and not yet obsolete mode of taking a collection in a Scotch church is by means of a ladlie-a small wooden box at the end of a straight wooden shaft about four and a half feet lofig, the top of the box being sufficiently open to receive contributions of money. For all special collections this was the usual mode in the chief churches of Edinburgh when I was a boy at school there 50 years ago, but it has gradually gone out of fashion and is not often to be seen nowadays. For ordinary Sunday collections the general custom has been to have a metal plate or basin on a small table at the church entrance superintended by an elder-a mode which was often called the brod. When ladles are used, they are handed round the congregation by elders after the sermon or after the last psalm, and the common Scotch phrase to \lift\ the collection may have come from this custom.-Notes and Queries. Some Queer Verdicts. What is \a reasonable state of intoxi- cation\ apparently just missed precise definition by a coroner's Jury in Missis- sippi which stated in its verdict that \we the jury, find that deceased came to his death by a stroke of an east bound train, No. 204, on I. C. Railroad, at Fentress, Miss., in Choctaw county, he being in a reasonable state of intox- ication.\ A somewhat similar indefiniteness of legal conclusion mars a verdict of a neighboring Georgia jury to the effect that \we the jury, find the defendant almost guilty.\ © ' Equally as uncertain and ambiguous as these statements by laymen is the opinion in an early Maryland case which \acknowledges the corn\ by say- ing that an occurrence referred to took place \at a former sitting when the court was full.\ Too Liberal. Wife-Here's an advertisement in the paper that you'd better look into. It says a man is wanted, and he won't be worked to death, and he'll get paid enough to live on.
