kept referring lo its serried columns of fig
ures. "The winners will be paid a month
from to-day," he read out, "at the Bank of
France."
Shortly afterward he asked meif I would
care to plav a game. I consented, although
I was anxious to be ofl. I have olten since
compared mvself on that occasion tothe dog
who gets a nice bone, and whose first impulse
is to carry it awav and enjoy it in some
lonelv spot. I wanted to be alone some
where Tery far off, to cnjov in solitude my
delightful thoughts. Nevertheless, I ac
cepted the game, for some inscrutable rea
son I thought that extreme dissimulation
was needful. I played the game, and,
though I was very careless and inattentive,
I won. "When I had called out "Check
mate," Brunot said, "It is evidently my un
lucky day; but yon may have noticed that I
was not very attentive. I was thinking how
pretty that arbor on the lawn would have
looked with the Virginia creeoers over it.
No, by the way, I think we had decided on
Spanish haricot beans!"
As soon a' I had bidden my friend good
night and found myself in the street my one
impulse was to get" back to my room as fast
as might be and enter on the credit side of
my private account book, under the paltry
sums registered in it as the receipts, the
splendid figure of 20,000. I do not think
anything connected with my good fortuue
gave me more pleasure than the act of pen
manship, performed with great deliberation
and scrupulous neatness. By a piece of
further gocd lortune, it happened that this
sum came just at the bottom of the page, so
that I had the further pleasure of including
it in the sum ot mv balance, and of carry
ing it majestically forward. When this was
done I turned to go to bed, my usual hour
for retiring having come. Suddenly, how
ever, as though a gadfly had stung me, I
halted, turned round, caught up my hat,
and rushed wildly lrorn the room with my
head on fire. When I came to myself, I
found mytcli on the Louvre quay, walking
in the direction of the Place de la Con
corde, and muttering to myself:
"Marie shall have 10,000 francs."
Marie W3S the servant of the Maillards
who had bought me the ticket.
Yes, it was only fair that she should have
10,000 francs. As a matter of lact, lowed
my good fortune to her. It would be a
handsome present, and would enaole her to
realize that project of hers of which the
Halliards had olten spoken to me, and to
mairy the waiter in the cale in their house,
and settle down in the catering business in
the provinces.
Yes, that was decided. "Marie shall have
10,000 francs." Perhaps 20,000 Irancs would
be a fair proportion, but too much money
might cause her unliappiness. Ten thou
sand would suCice.
Then there was Brunot Poor Brunot,
whom I had treated so badly, and about
whom I had had such unfriendly thoughts.
He was an old Iriend of mine my only
friend, indeed. Wno more than he had a
claim on me.' Certainly it would be uiln
cult tor me to give him a position equal to
the one he had hoped for, and, at the same
lime, to do so might be o render him no
real service at all. But what was to pre
vent me buying him a little country house
near Paris, and placing a sufficient sum at
his credit at the bank to enable him to keep
at up. It could easily be done with 20,000i
half for the little house and half lor the
account at the bank. 1 then began to think
about Celestinc. It basjance strnck me as
strange that the names of those who
had claims upon me presented them
selves in an inverse order of
importance With reference to my
affianced, two suggestion presented them
selves. The first was that now I was too
rich to marry, and that it wonld be foolish
to throw away my liberty almost as soon
as I had acquired it. The second was that
I should at once make my offer and astonish
my bride and her parents by the munifi
cence of my settlements and the splendor of
the ceremony and celebrations. I did not,
however, tarry long on this subject It
was my relatives who next occupied my
thoughts. What was I going to do lor
them? Here my business knowledge stood
me by. 1 decided to purchase for my sister
a life annuity sufficient to assure her future
and that of her guardian, my grandmother.
X fixed the amount at 150 per annum.
As to mvself I hesitated. I had had of
course to put up with much annoyance at
the hands cf my employer which is is
doubtless the experience of everybodv in a
dependent position and more than once it
struck me that I would take a delightiul re
venge. I would be purposely negligent,
and at the first rebuke inform my employer
how independent I was o' him, and how lit
tle I cared lor the meager salary he allowed
me, put on my hat and saunter with arro
gance out of the room, slamming the door
behind me. But the disadvantage of such
an arrangement wonld be that by such an
announcement everybody, including Brunot,
would hear of my good lortune. I did not
want that I wanted to have the enjoyment
of feeling that tney thought me poor while
I knew I was rich. Besides this, it would
be absurd to let everybody know of my good
fortuue. I should never have a moment's
peace.
.No. I would return quietly to the office
in the morning and continue as in the past
until l had come to a resolution.
Twenty thousand pounds what a mag
nificent sum it was! Twenty thousand
pounds that is to sav, a sum representing
what I should l:ae earned at the the end of
a period of 1.700 months at the salary that
was being paid me 1.700 months, that is to
say, 142 yeais. I had suddenly become
possessed of what would have taken me by
working close on one and a half ceuturv to
amass, without deducting a single penny
lor mv board, lodging, or other expenses
during that period. It represented 1,000 a
year. I had a thousand pounds a year to
spend, or close on three pounds a day. It
was too delightful to think of. I was now a
rich man, a very rich mau.
After walking aimlessly about for some
time totally taken up by my thoughts, I
suddenly turned homeward. As soon as I
had reached my room 1 sat down at my ta
ble and prepared the letters in which I
should announce to my friends the various
gifts I destined for them. It was very pleas
ant work. The letters were anonymous, ex
cept the one that I addressed to my sister.
1 did not, however mention by what means
I was able to make such a comfortable al
lowance for her. It pleased me to thinK
that both -he and my grandmother, who
had a somewhat mediocre opinion of my
capacity, might imagine that I had earned
mv fortune in hoine clever way.
"When these letters had been written and
their envelopes addressed, I laid them in
a drawer to have them at hand when the
time came for dispatching them, together
with the cheques for the several amounts.
I then went to bed.
In the morning I convinced myself from
the papers that there was no mistake about
my good luck, and then went off to thcofuce
as usual.
It struck me after I had been an hour or
two at my desk that my opinion about the
two persons in the office who usually occu
pied my thoughts had undergone a complete
modification. These two were Brunot and
my employer. I had always had a very
friendly feeling for the former: I now found
xnysell considering him with pity, which I
fear was mingled with contempt How
ridiculous, indeed, it had been of him to
expect to win, as if he had any right to win
because he had bought 30 tickets. Thirty
tickets a pretty claim they gave a man
to expect 500,000 francs. Everybody
could become rich at that rate.
My employer I had ever regarded with great
respect mingled with awe. His office was
well furnished; I knew him to be a rich
man. How completely he had fallen in my
estimation. Why, I could buy up the office,
lrom the curtains to the safe, and not be
much the poorer. What could I have seen
in the man to excite my admiration? I db
not suppose that he was worth so very much
more than I was; and, besides, what fortune
or capital he had was invested in a sorue
what risky business, whereas mine was in
hard cash lying in the cellars of the Bank
of France. I had been very patient to put
up with his irritability as long as I had
done. Did the mau think that because he
paid mc 12 a mouth I was body and soul
Lis slave?
I regret to-day, for the purposes of this
document, that I did not set down day by
day. if not hour by hour, the various
reflections that occupied my mind. It is J
really extraordinary how, in my case at
least, sudden transition from poverty to
wealth completely modified my character.
If 1 had been otherwise than a lair average
specimen of the workaday mau, neither
blessed with greater capacities nor cursed
with worse derects than the general run, the
observations I have made would be of little
interest But, considering myself fairly
representative of bourgeois virtues and
vices, my observations cannot be otherwise
than of psychological value. It is extra
ordinary what a change a large sum of
money will make in a man. I wish I could
trace steD by step my transition from the
resolutions of the first moment of my
enthusiasm to those which, taken when the
money came into my possession, were
definite.
I may mention here that of that sum not
a penny remains to me. Part of it was
squandered in the indulgence of mj vanity,
the rest was lost in speculations which were
intended to largely augment my future, for
as I gradually grew familiar with the idea
that I was the possessor of 20,000 the more
miserable did that sum appear to become in
my eyes. What was, after all, half a mil
lion francs? -A mere bagatelle compared
to the fortunes of hundreds of men that I
knew men, too, who in no way could be
compared to me.
For I muBt mention that, knowing my
self to be at least completely independent,
my vanity and self-esteem swelled out im
mensely. Formerly I had been timid, diffi
dent and reserved. At the end of the
month I found myself loud, incumbrant,
lull of reliance in myself as the firm founda
tion of my five-franc pieces.
But it was not till the end of the third
week that I began to entertain a feeling of
hostility toward Marie, the servant of the
Maillards. Imagine my giving her 10,000 f. !
What possible right had she to such a sum,
the fifth of one year's income? She had, in
fetching me the ticket 'vhich had won the
great prize, done no more than she was paid
to do. What favor meriting a recompense
had she done me? I should be singularly
simple to imagine that could she have had
even the faintest inkling of an idea that my
ticket would win she would have brought it
to me. What impertinence on her part it
would have been if she bad accepted the
gift which, acting on my first foolish im
pulse, I had resolved to give her. Ko doubt
she would have done so, and more than
probable was it that she would have
been dissatisfied, and have thought me
very mean to give so little, so un
grateful is human nature. I felt quite
angry with the g'rl, and was brusque
toward her whenever we met At one
time I thought of suggesting to the Mail
lards that they should dismiss her. How
ever, as I had made up mv mind shortly
afterward to break off all connection with
them, it became indifferent to me whether
they continued to harbor in their house
such a monster of meanness and ingratitude
or not.
I felt very happy when, having come
back to my senses, I had dismissed Marie's
pretentions as preposterous. I was as
pleased as if I had suddenly pocketed thai
sum. It was the money which had come to
me as the reward for acting: in a sensible
way. and thus doublv precious. 1 was so
pleased with myself that on the day when I
had torn up the silly letter I had prepared
for Marie, I treated myself to a good dinner
at Brebant's.
It was while enjoying my cigar and coffee
at the close of the dinner that it suddenly
struck me that the reason of a very un
pleasant feeling which had been weighing
on me all through the progress of my other
wise most pleasant entertainment was the
engagement I had taken with myself to
present Brunot with 20,000 francs. Twenty
thousand francs ! a sum representing the
unflagging industry and economy of years
and years. There I was with my generous
impulses. What claim had Brunot on me?
Let me consider with impartiality. No!
reflect as I would, no claim at all. I had
felt sorry for his great disappointment, and
it was under the effect of my pity for him
that I had taken this resolution. Now how
unreasonable, and above all how unjust,
that was of me. Why, there were millions
of ticket holders who had been just as bit
terly disappointed. Every person who had
held a ticket ic this lottery had hoped and
expected to win. Each had made projects
for the future; it was not Brunot's air castle
alone that had come tumbling down when
the result was made known. Was it possi
ble for me to give a solatium to each of the
disappointed? Certainly not; the fortune
of the Rothschilds would not suffice for that
purpose. Nor would it be fair to the others
to make an exception in Brunot's fayor.
Obviously not He was my friend, it is
true, but tbat made justice on my part to
those who were not my friends at all the
more laudable. Ko, no; as I could not sol
ace all it would be unfair to solace one, and
Brunot's letter must share the same fate as
Marie's.
I felt extremely satisfied with myselt
when I had come to this decision. I could
imagine the bitter-sweet feeling of the
Roman general when he sacrificed his two
sons. After all, there is no purer satisfac
tion iu life than the sensation of haying ac
complished one's duty tinder the greatest
temptation to do otherwise. In my case my
act of justice brought with it its own im
mediate reward, for I was a richer man bv
20,000 francs.
With reference to the plans I had made
for my family I must state that it I never
carried them out. and if neither my sister
nor mv grandmother never benefited by my
good fortune, it was not because I regretted
my proposed liberality toward them, but be
cause from some motive which I cannot
explain I kept postponing the execution of
my plan on their behalF until I had no
means to carry itout. Indeed, it is perhaps
the only consolation that now remains to me
that I did have the intention of helping
those who have a claim upon me, and X am
quite certain that should fortune ever favor
me again I should not delay until too late
inviting them to share her bounties with
me. Robert II. Sherard in Pall Mall

FOOD FOE THE BEASTS.
New York's Wild Aiilinnli Grt Horse Melt
bat Won't Accept HaIo.
Central Park has a slaughter-house, says
the New York Horning Journal, and Hen
ry Zier presides over it. There,, worn-out
horses, goats and sometimes other animals
are killed and the meat prepared for the
big beasts of the menagerie. Every other
day Mr. Zier takes an old horse out
of the adjoining stable, quietly ties
his hind leg to a rope, which is
attached to a wheel and pulley
and in a jiffy the horse is in the air kicking
for life, while, with one well-directed stroke
oi his ax the butcher knocks all conscious
ness out uf the animal's head, and within
five minutes he is skinned, quartered, and
the icebox is filled with as tasty and nicely
cut hoi se meat as ever satiated the appetite
of carnivora.
"These horses," said Mr. Zier, "are
usually very old, and we buy them from
dealers for from $2 to Si apiece.
"On an average a horse will give 400
pounds of meat, and the animals generally
get away with 150 pounds a day. So you
see we can get along with one horse every
other day.
"Is the meat tender? Why, yes, fairly
so. The animals like it as well as beef.
But they do object to niul meat
"I've only killed two of them since I've
been here, and when we fed them to the
lion I thought he'd break the bars. It was
like giving him leather. It was simplv im
possible for him to get a bite. Of course,
when the little goats who are used to run
the goat carriages get old or are no longer
fit for use, we kill them and feed the meat
to the animals. As a rule, that is a great
feast They could stand goat meat every
day!"

FARMS OF TEE WEST.,)
Wonderful le"t In Grain Gathering nnd
Plowing The Lai-gent Farms.
I have had the curiosity to see one of the
big Dakota farms, writes, Ben Abou to the
New York Press, and went out yesterday
with John W. Dwight to the famous Dwight
farm. The fields are each' 640 acres in size,
a mile square. They are surrounded on
every side by railways, and there are no
fences. The roads are supposed to be 60 feet
wide, but the fields are plowed right out to
the double wagon way of about 20 feet, and
thus no land is left to waste.
1 saw 41 reapers cutting grain in two of
these big fields. The reapers require four
and five horses or mules to pull them, and
the bundles or sheaves are tied with cord
automatically and tossed to one side lor
shucking. Farming ou such a scale is
entirely unlike the old wav down East.
The grain is stacked in the field, threshed
on the ground and hauled in great wagons
holding three tons each to the elevators at
the nearest railroad stations. The straw is
burned.
It rained the day I arrived at the farm,
and wheat cutting having just been finished,
threshing was suspended and the hands were
sent out to plow. They can plow in weather
when nothing else can be done. They used
wheel plows, drawn by four and five horse
teams, and cutting two furrows each of
about 13 inches in width. The soil is a deep
black loam, its color alone declaring its
richness and fertility. It is plowed to a
depth of four or five inches only.
I saw 21 of these plows being operated in
a G40-acre field. Every time the 21 plows
crossed the field they had plowed under a
strip a mile long and about 13 or 44 feet
wide. It was a great sight. I was driven
over the prairie roads, level as asphalt, for
18 miles, and everywhere outstretched be
fore me was wheat stubble, wheat in shocks
or in stacks awaiting threshing. The coun
try to the eye looks as level as a board floor.
Oliver Dalrymple, of St. Paul, is gener
ally credited with being the largest indi
vidual farmer in this section. I saw him at
Casselton. N. D., as I came through there
on the Northern Pacific road. He was just
finishing harvesting, and had cut over 40,
000 acres of wheat. I am told that Mr.
Dalrymple has about 20,000 acres of wheat
land himself, and tlrut he has nearlv as
much more land under his control, which is
owned by a pool of his friends. It is
all known as Dalrymple land, and hence he
has come to be known as the largest farmer
of the United States. As a matter of fact J.
B. Haggin, of California, who is a stock
farmer, outranks Mr. Dalrymple, having
42,000 acres under cultivation or constant
use. The largest land owner out here is
said to be James J. Hill, of the Manitoba
Bailroad, who is said to declare that he
thinks it is better than life insurance to
buy the cheap lands of the Northwest and
let them lay lor his posterity.
HEW ZEALAND GTJL
Dreary Life of the Kauri Digger nnd the
Extent of the Industry.
Kauri gum is found in no part of the
world outside of New Zealand. It forms a
very extensive item of export and famishes
employment to a, large number of laborers.
It is not, however, very remunerative, as
the most diligent worker cannot average to
exceed 1 to 1 50 per day. Out of this he
must find board, lodging, clothes, tools.etc;
in fact, he must find everthing out of his
earning. The gum diggers live in the mot
primitive manner, and if they have fami
lies, which is frequently the case, they have
to endure many hardships indeed. Living
in little tents or rudely constrncted whases
(Maori name for hut), away from civiliza
tion, with nothing to cheer them, nothing to
gaze upon but a dreary waste of barren and
desolate-looking "gum field" even the
beauties and charms of nature have depart
ed from the scene as wherever gum is found
the land is invariably worthless and unpro
ductive, with nothing upon it but scrubby
bush and very scanty vegetation.
There is, however, one person on the gum
fields or New Zealand who invariably be
comes well off, if not wealthy that is the
storekeeper. To him the digger must come
for supplies, and inasmuch as there is no
competition, there is no limit to what the
storekeeper may charge, except the digger's
ability to pay or his own conscience (the
latter, it is admitted, is very elastic).
From the following figures maybe gleaned
the extent and value of the gum trade of
New Zealand: From 1853 to 1888, inclusive,
there has been 119,673 tons oi gum pro
duced valued at 523,432,670. The quantity
produced last year amounted to 8,482 tons,
valued at $1,142,865. Four thousand six
hundred and niuety-three tons of this article
were exported to the United States, valued
at 51,009,406.
A DISSERTATION ON BOOMS.
What the Sheet From ifac Wild and Woolly
West lias to Say.
Arizona KicKcr.
For two straight years the ilcier has per
sistently opposed the idea of a boom to at
tract attention to our town. We have
watched this boom business in scores of
other places, and in every instance it has
reacted disastrously. Our course has
aroused the ire of certain speculators,
but we shall continue it just the
same. We've got 200 acres of
cactus pasture which we should like
to dispose of to some Ohio farmer who wants
to better his condition, nnd who could be
worked up to part with 3,000 in cash, but
we haven't the cheek. We own half a mile
of side hill, which won't even grow rattle
snakes, but we haven't the gall to boom it
for apeach orchard. A million years hence
we may have six railroads here, but we can't
force ourselves to whoop-la! hurrah! over
the prospect. We owu about fourteen
billion dollars' worth of wild-cat mining
stock, every mine being in the clouds, and
but for our honesty we'd proceed to boom
and unload. We are at the head of a com
pany to turn the Pacihc ocean into the
deserts of the west president of an artesian
well company Secretary of the Great
Strawberry Growers' Association, etc., etc.,
but we were born honest and we can't look
a tenderfoot in the eve and lie to him.
No, gentlemen, this town is what it is and
no more. It isn't going to be a second Chi
c.ico. It has no Niagara Falls. There isn't
even good fishing within 30 miles of u. AVe
simply have the great Ariiona Kicker, 148
saloons, 16 gambling hou'es, five stores and
a population of 3,800 souls, most of which
will take "the other road" when the judg
ment day arrives. That's all, and those
who don't w..ut to come can stay away.
A HOMING PIGEON STOEY.
Tlio Wonderful Arnoux Bird Now Owned by
a New Jemcjltc.
Philadelphia Becord. I
A. P. Baldwin, of Newark, N. J., claims
to have at home the Arnoux hen that in
October, 1885. was liberated in Boutte, La.,
1,150 miles from home. Although the proofs
are lacking which go to establish a perform
ance and rank it among the records, no one
who knows Mr. Baldwin's remarkable
memory for birds, coupled with the lact
that the bird in question at once upon its
at rival at the loit took up its' did nest-box
and perch, but will in his own mind accept
tbe return and congratulate the owner.
The bird Arnoux is one of the most re
markable birds ever flown to an American
lort It was, bred in the Baldwin loft from
a bird that in Belgium won two Government
prizes beside many club honors, and was
only sold upon condition that it should be
taken outof Belgium. During the year
18S5 this bird Arnoux returned from Morgan
town, N. C, 535 miles; then from Bristol,
Tenn.,510, and finally from Penusacola,
Fla. 1,019 miles, in which journey it had a
record for greatest distance by a hen pigeon.
Its journeys that year were, all told, 3,150
miles air line. Less than a fortnight alter'
i's return home it was sent to the care of
Sergeant Hermann, Signal Observer of the
New Orleans station, and by him forwarded
to Bontte, La., where it was liberated at 9:36
A. M., October 18. 1885.
OIL AOT) POLITICS.
How Mr. Graham Found For
tune in 'Both.
A STREAK 0F600D LUCK.
Dr. W. H. Copeland, after a short rest
spent in traveling through the West, which
his health made necessary, has returned
home again thoroughly recuperated, and
will take personal charge of his many
patients. '
THE GRAHAM CASE.
The recent election at Ewing's Mills, one
of the suburbs of Pittsburg, was interesting
as developing the popularity of one of the
candidates, Mr.-John M. Graham. Out of
all the votes cast for the office of Justice of
the Peace Mr. Graham received the entire
number with five exceptions. Mr. Graham's
good fortune extends to other fields than
political ones. The news has recently been
received that he has struck an oil well on his
premises that runi 75 barrels a day. This will
net him at least $18 a day.
Mr. John M. Graham, Swing's Mills, Alle
gheny county. Pa.
But still another piece of good fortune has
befallen Mr. Graham, upon which heis'tobe
congratnlated. How this came about is best
shown by his own statement. He says: "I
had suffered for a good while from catarrhal
trouble. It began in my head. My nostrils
would close up. first one side and then the
other. There would be frequent pains in my
head.
"There would be ringing and buzzing nones
in my ears. I feared that my hearing was be
coming impaired, My throat would fill up with
mucus. I could feel tbe phlegm dropping back
from my bead. Sometimes my throat would
feel sore and inflamed.
"After awhile I began to have sharp, stab
bing pains in my chest My heart would beat
hard and fast. "Tins would be followed by slow,
irregular beating and a sensation of faintness.
"My appetite became affected. There would
be a feeling of discomfort at my stomach after
eating, and sometimes a nausea and vomiting.
My sleep was broken, and I would get up in
tbe morning tired and uurefreshed. Indeed,
my entire system was broken down from the
effects of tbo disease.
"I began treatment with Drs. Copeland tnd
.Blair and improved from the start. The
symptoms ot the catarrh gradually disap
peared, and I feel strong and well now. I will
cheerfully corroborate tbls statement to any
one who will call upon me."
HOME TREATMENT.
Mrs. Robert Ramsey, of Washington, Pa.,
speikinjr of her successful treatment with Drs.

five years I have been troubled with chronic
dyspepsia. Have tried countless remedies and
various physicians without any relief. I could
not get ease from pain in any position 1 wonld
assume. Every breath I drew was like a knife
cutting me. I became weak and pale, losing
greatly in weight
