Family Hear News Prom
Russia That May Bring
Them Millions of Rubles
and the Joy of Ease.
fiomclimdo-hot often-lt happens liko
this In novels, and then you always put
It down tq Uio lively Imagination of yoilr
author! but whcnvlwo millions drop liko
a bolt from the bluo or manna In the
desert at Uio feet or some unsuspecting
mortal In real life alt that li left to you
Is to murmur bromldlcntly, "Truth in
stranger than fiction," and "Wonder what
ho'll do with 11."
All Ills Ufa I.ouls Gordon, of HP South
6th street, has 'wanted to live In n brown
stone front on Diamond street. 'When ho
was first marrlod, his little wife llcbecoa
planted tho Idea In tlio garden of Ills
dreams, and together they liavo cherished
it for years, Later Louis thought that If
ho had n biff 8-cyllnder car to run from
the Diamond street homo down to his lit
tle confectioner store on (!th street
where, ho now exists llfo would hold no
further Joy.
And How Gordon and Rebecca, together
with his bister, Airs. Ida KlnklcstPln, who
has hor dreams too, but cannot express
them In sood Philadelphia I.nnllsh he
causa Bha has conllncd her vocabulary
to Russian, aro In a fair way to realize
all their foscnto visions. They aro poten
tial millionaires.
"It happened In this way," said Gor
don, loaning ncRllRcntly on n counter In
his Bhop and smoking a Russian clunr
ctto In a lordly wny: "I was reading the
Jewish World the other iiIkIU. and Just
after I'd been thinking how had limes
were I saw a notice clipped from a Rus
sian paper, tho Win saw D.iy. advertising
fpr tho heirs of Clinlm SSIscvlnur (ho pio
nounced it Hymnn Wiener), of Ollka, In
the provlnco of Woltlnor, near Moscow.
" 'Rebecca, Ilebccca!' 1 said to my wife,
so excited I could hardly talk. 'Como
here, Undo Clilnm Is dead and has loft
almost 4,000,000 rubles. Let's go "round
and tell Ida nbout It. mid then wo'U go
Up and sco Mr. Gross, tho lawyer.'"
Itebecca's snapping brown eyes cor
roborated her husband's narrative.
"Yes," she added. Jubilantly, "we've
signed all tho papers and things and
sent them over on tho other side, and
now wa'ro Just waiting, and I'm going to
havo flvo servants and pretty clothes and
Abey and Jo and Dave, my boys, wilt
havo flno things, too. And we'll buy a
house up on Diamond street and Louis'
going to have nn automobile."
Down at Mrs. FInkelsteln's, at 220.1
South Tth street, where her husband,
Ellas, keeps a shoo store, the prospect
of the sudden wealth has almost been
too much for them. Like a distracted
hen Mrs. Klnklestcln rushes back and
forth, adjuring her daughters, Rosy, Ito
becca, Dora and Mary, not to count their
chickens before they are hutched, but
the girls, who range In ages from 14 to
21, cannot restrain their unbridled Imag
inations. "Mamma doesn't wnnt us to talk too
much about it for fear somethtng will
happen to It on account of loo much
talk," said lG-ycar-old Rosy, unable to
keep tho lilt out of her voice, "but
gracious me, how rich wo'ro going to
bol Pretty dresses and plenty of serv
ants, wo can hardly wait."
But, wRh harsh foreign words, Mrs.
TTinklestcln nipped her daughter's youth
ful enthusiasm In tho bud nnd chased
her away on the morning's work.
According to Joseph Gross, the attorney
engaged by tho prospective heirs, their
chances of obtaining the money aro ex
cellent. "As far as I can discover," said ho,
JITNEY BUS MAN'S ONE PEAR
IS TO BE TAKEN FOR MASHER
Driver of 5-Cent-Ride Vehicle Is Winning Over the
Small Boy, And Dreams
of Wealth.
Borne people say It Is only a pnsslng
fancy. Others express faith in Its per
manency. At any rate Fhllndelphtn's lone
jitney bus continues to nuyiguto Its des
tined course 18 times a day with a full
cargo of -riders. Meanwhile Its operator,
35. W. Hambrlght, dreams about tho bid
der of success in which he sees himself
stepping suddenly from tho rung marked
"chauffeur" to that labeled "manager."
Ifrom this vantage point ho will have
nothing more to do, he says, than direct
a whole flotilla of Jitneys and count the
accumulated profits therefrom.
At the same timo, whilo dreaming, he
Is working his llttlo machlno overtime in
a determined effort to educate conserva
tive Philadelphlans up to tho latest
"Western Idea of dvic transportation.
This is not so easy as It sounds. Like
all new enterprises, the very strangeness
of the novelty has got to be overcome.
Then, too, anything ridiculously cheap
appeals not to the American's sense of
economy, but to his sense of humor. At
any moment the shrinking, timid passen
ger who has braved an unsettled public
opinion and boarded the little bua may be
subject to the ribald jesting of the small
boy on Broad street.
The confirmed "jltneyites" and there
are some already know him. Ho Is a
type and can be found In nlmost every
block. When the bus heaves into lew
he stops in his tracks and from the pul
pit of the curbstone yells in a megaphone
voice, freighted with mockery and in
sult; "Yea, jitney," All the contempt
for anything that costs only 5 cents is
hurled Into those two words, Certainly
the P. n, T, if that company can be
said to have any real animosity toward
the Jitney cannot be regarded as so
potent an enemy as this over-present
small boy and his contemptuous Jibes.
Orf the other hand, whenever the Jit
ney Ps acquires a small bey as passen
ger Hambrlght feels he has gained a
friend. This happened tho other after
noon. Just AS the bus came careening
down Chestnut street near 13th, all tan
gled up democratically with limousines,
landaulets, trucks and street cars, nnd
ust oa the pioneer Jitney Jehu waa won
dering t he might halt llngerlngly at the
corner In solicitation of a little trade
without evoking the wrath of the "cop"

tangjed himself from the shopping1
throngs and signaled the bus with an
opulent wave of the hand:
"Tak nijs up to Berks street for a

A substantial business man, who was

A few days later a Mothodlst mlnlstor
went to his olllce and found him absent.
On scorching tho neighborhood, tho

A bartender sat beside his employer nt

Converted nt tho tabernacle, n former

Not only linn the revival campaign

On Hroad street, midway between Hnce

stopped still and watched tho oncoming
Jitney. Thcro were Btlll two vacant seats.
Stepping into tho street, he, too, waved
opulently and Hambrlght took him on iho
front seat
When bo dismounted at Diamond street
he tendered a dlmo for his faro and
would accept no change:
"It was vvuth It, boss," was his parting
comment.
On the trip down 15th street the Jitney
driver's eyo roamed from corner to corner
like the searchlight of a ship In foreign
waters. Snatching n passenger from the
Philadelphia Ilapld Transit Is not against
his code, providing It is done subtly. At

I never make advances to women,"
said Hambrlght tersely, "after my first

corner and asked a young woman If she
didn't want me to take her down to

If those wntchlng tho subrnscopo can

"Why lint Increase the slzo of tlio hy

"For Instance If wo mndo It havo a

A Poor Play Never Draws a Crowd
A restaurant serving poor food never fills its
tables; a slipshod business never has many cus
tomers. The biggest argument for NEWTON COAL
is the large, number of people who buy and burn
it regularly.
From Sept. 1st, 1914, to Feb. 28th, 1915 G
months we enrolled 18,522 new names in the
NEWTON ARMY OF CONTENTED COAL USERS
Certainly we must be giving great satisfac
tion to make and to keep so many customers.
