The Old Cheatnnta.
It Is said that a certain Cleveland
lady whose handsome house is in an
ultrafashlonable section of the city was
called east while her home as under- ,
going the renovating and refurnishing
process. During her absence a man
was especially engaged to hang the pic
tures. Among them were a number of
excellent copies of the world's greatest j
works of art, and the man, an artist, |
found his task a labor of love.
With groat care he hung the more J
valuable copies in the roomy reception
hall and had just finished his task
when the lady returned.
Her eyes snapped as she surveyed his
work.
"Who hung those old chestnuts
there?" she cried.
"Old masters, madam," said the star
tled artist
"Old chestnuts, I say; it's the same
thing. If you hung them, take them
down. I won't have them there. With
new furniture and new decorations and
new carpets and rugs I'll have new
pictures too. Who ever heard of such
old trumpery stuff In a strictly modern
house ?"
"And what shall I do with the— the
old chestnuts, inadam?" the artist in
quired.
"Oh, dump them into the attic until I
can get rid of them," replied the lady.
And there the "chestnuts" lie, Ma
donnas and cherubs and all, gathering
dust and calmly awaiting the getting
rid of process.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Renting I.ocoinntlvci.
Hundreds of locomotives are rented
every year. Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwins have many machines out on
the rental form of payment—that is,
the engines are rented in the same way
that you would buy a stove on Install
ments—so much down, so much a
month, the payments to apply on the
final purchase money. It is seldom,
however, that a railroad rents locomo
tives. They are usually let out to con
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from excava
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as a usual thing, are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains.—Philadelphia Record.
Golf Before n. Mirror.
One of the chief teachings in the reli
gion of style is that to attain to ortho
doxy it is necessary or at least desira-
L'e to practice daily in front of a look
ing glass so as to make sure that all the
motions of the true style are being cor
rectly carried out.
This always appeared to me a very
"hard saying" until I had consulted W.
G. Grace, John Roberts, C. B. Fry, K.
S. Ranjitslnjhl, 11. K. Foster, Kraenz
lein, E. C. Bredln and other champions
of sport
All the above were unanimous in at
tributing the high degree of skill to
which they have attained in various
games and sports to the fact of their
having devoted many hours a day from
a very early stage of their careers to
attitudinizing In front of looking glass

The Oldeat Vialtln* Card.
The state archives of Venice are said
to possess the oldest visiting card of
which there is any record, of course
leaving aside the probable use of such
articles for some thousands of years In
China. Giacomo Contarlni, professor
at the University of Padua, sent the
card in question as a curiosity to a Ve
netian friend, saying that the German
students who caine to Italy had the ele
gant and laudable custom of leaving
such little cards, with their name and
place of origin, at the houses of friends
when they called and found them ab
sent. The card referred to bears a coat
of arms with the motto, "Espoir me

asked.
"I think I do; yes. sir."

The origin of the term "blues" has
been traced to the belief that persons
In Ir.dlgo dyeing establishments are pe
culiarly subject to melancholy. An
other belief Is that the expression Is de
rived from the German blau, or lead,
as lead by its heaviness has always
been held to typify gloom and depres
sion.

The Buddhists believe that happi
ness, Nirvana, consists In self efface
ment. oblivion. The young Buddhas
began life by sitting unsupported in
the air Just after birth. Their mothers
attained Nirvana immediately, and
they, the Buddhas, reached Nirvana in
various queer ways.
One earnest Buddha, one of the earli
est of the long line, earned the "Xibbu
ta" as follows:
A hawk was about to devour a small
bird. Said the Buddha to the bird of
prey:
"I beseech thee, leave this little crea
ture In peace. I will give they its
weight from my own flesh."
Down from heaven came a pair of
scales, and the transaction was accom- |
pllshed. The small bird sat on one side
of the scales, and the Buddha begun
putting slices of his body into the other
side, while the bird of prey looked on
with an evil eye. As the Buddha carv
ed himself up the little bird seemed to
get heavier and heavier. The beam of
the scales did not move until the Inst
particle of the saint's body was putin
the scales.
The Buddhists' legends do not tell
how the saint managed to curve up his
last few fragments, but that is not im
portant. Which do you think was hap
pier, the Buddha who entered into Nir
vana as the little bird flew away or the
bird of prey that made a hearty meal
of the saint's flesh and sailed off de
lighted with his bargain?— New York

Cebwebt and Cuta.
An old time remedy to stop blood
flowing from a cut is to put cobwebs
over it, but from recent discovery it ap
pears a dangerous thing to do. Some
time ago a woman fell and cut her
head, and when her friends hurried to
her assistance they found the blood
flowing from a deep gash. Cobwebs
were applied, and the bleeding quickly
stopped, but In a few days the woman
was taken with lockjaw.
A scientist declared there were lock
jaw germs In cobwebs, and that was
the way the woman contracted the dis
ease. He has made quite a study of
the subject and says that In a handful
of cobwebs he found 61 different dis
ease germs. That being true. It Is very
easy to see how one could get not only
lockjaw, but many other dreadful dis
eases, as the cobweb Is placed right on
an open wound and the germs can en
ter the blood. Cobwebs form in dark,
dirty places, and it is not to be won
dered that they gather germs. Ex

The Leg of a Ship.
A ship's log Is an Instrument for
measuring the rate at which the vessel
is going and consists of three parts— \
vlx, the log chip, the log line and the
log glass. The principle Is simply this:
A light substance thrown from the
vessel ceases to partake of the motion
of the vessel as soon as it strikes the
water and will be left behind on the
surface after a certain interval. If the
distance of the ship from this station
ary object be measured, the approxi
mate rate of sailing will be given.
The log chip Is the float, the log line
Is the measure of the distance, and the
log glass defines the interval of time.
In the old days the heaving of the log
required skill and watchfulness, but
since the patent log has come into use
no skill Is required In finding the speed
of a vessel. It Is regulated by clock
work. and the number of knots the ves
sel sails per hour Is recorded on the
dial without any hand touching it.

A Sneeeaafol Stratncrm.
When the electric telegraph was first
Introduced Into Chile, a stratagem was
resorted to In order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part
of the natives and to maintain the con
nection between the strongholds on the
frontier. There were at the time be
tween 40 and r»0 captive Indians in the
Chilean camp. <i#'»ier#i pinto, in com
mand of the operation, called them to
gether and, pointing to the telegraph
wires, said:
"Do y6u see those wires?"
"Yes. general."
"I want you to remember not togo
near or touch them, for if you do your
hands will be held, nnd you will be un
able to get away."
The Indiana smiled incredulously.
Then the general nuide them each In
succession take hold of the wire at
both ends of an electric battery In full
operation, after which he exclaimed:
"I command you to let go theVfire!"
"I can't! My hands are benumbed?"
cried each Indian.
The battery wns then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them to
liberty, giving them strict instructions
to keep the secret. This had the de
sired effect, for. as might be expected,
the experience was related in the
strictest confidence to every man in the
tribe, and the telegraph remained un
molested.

Seriow of florae liaoea.
This is the story 11 western man t M to
a party of racing i;. ti. He it.
too, iu part at lea- ' by referring to a
turf guide and a ch; ch almanac.
"It was on June 1!: . INOS. that I sot the
biggest returns on a small investment of
money that it was ever my luck to get
before or since," he said. "I was iu Chi
cago. The town was wide open. Some
of the poolrooms had 10 cent combina
tion pools. You could pick out three I
horses on the blackboard to win for a |
dime and get a little ticket with a num
ber on it for your combination. The i
house took out a 10 per cent commission,'
and the remainder of the entire pool was ]
divided among the holders of tickets on
the winning combination.
"Well, that 2!>th day of June I had just
a 10 cent piece in my pocket when I left ]
the house iu the morning, and I hugged
it all the morning closer than a thistle
waiting for the combination pools to
open up for business. My landlady, who
was a very good Catholic, had just re
turned from early mass as I finished pit
morning coffee, and she told un t!. ton
the church calendar it was St. I'eler's \
day. In glancing over the morning pa- ,
per Iran across an item a' » mention
ing St. Peter's day, and later i't the
morning a crowd of people omir.;: out
from a church which I was pas-lug by j
again called my atli •ti•: to the f< val.
"About 2 o'clock 1 siiolYd into Riley's i
big poolroom, on 11. • miner of Clark '
street and the alley, began to study 1
the horses on the couibiiinti :i board. .
Among the entries iu three of the live
eastern races which were c halked up for
the day's game were three names that
instantly commanded my attention. (
These names were St. I'eter, Peter L
and Blue Peter. These horses had no
earthly license to win any one of the j
three races, but strive as I tliJ to put j
them out of my calculations I could not
help linking them with the fact of its
being St. Peter's day and feeling that it
was going to be their day too. If I had j
been the owner of a $lO note, I would
as soon have burned it as plact d it on
any one of their chances. ! :t with only
10 cents there seeui ' : • be ev: rything
to gain and next t«> n •: to lose. So
I got a ticket on the ''
"Then the telegr:. • a:i:ent began
to click, and they v.« . .W: r t!:a
first Peter bad gou< ' ugh all right* I
as of course he <!: !. 1 t an a r
amount of confident c. ".. :i board
marker had footed tip tlie t < .si of all
the tickets and deductc 1 tli<• 1 ; > p> •«■ nt
commission, he marked i nt!: • bia< k
board the total stt;:i i: !!:•• t!.i;.] • 1,
which amounted exactly to $-137.50. Now, j
I held the only ticket on the three Pe
ters and was of course entitled to the
entire roll if only the two other name
sakes of the good saint should do as
well as the first.
"I was quite calm when in the course
of half an hour the operator again an
nounced that they were off and really
took it as quite a matter of course that
Peter 1., should lead his field home, as he
did, winning very easily and never for j
a single moment giving me any anxiety i
as to how he would celebrate the auui- !
versary. After that I wouldn't have j
sold my ticket for a dollar less than the I
sum it called for, with Blue Peter, the j
rankest kind of an outsider, yet to be j
heard from.
"When the odds were posted for the
race in which the last of the Peters was
to do his act, there was a prohibitive fa- I
vorite against him at something like I—21 —2 j
on, which made Blue Peter's clianccs
look very much like SO cents, and I will
confess to just a momentary weakening, j
enuring which I might have been open to
negotiations. There were all sorts of
odds offered against Blue Peter's chances j
in the various poolrooms, but none of
them held a candle to the odds that I ,
had on him with my ticket. A hundred
to one is pretty good odds, but those tig- j
ures seem small compared to the odds I
had against Blue Peter, with over $437
to win against 10 cents. You may imag- j
ine that when the instrument began to i
click and the operator started into give j
a description of that race I felt a much
more vivid interest in the proceedings (
than if I had bet SIO,OOO on an even
money favorite who couldn't possibly lose ,
unless he dropped dead. Did Blue Peter
win? Yes, and when the official "All
right!' came in over the wire a few min- I
utes afterward there was only one man
in line in front of the combination cash
ier's desk, and he walked away with just
$437.50. I was the man."
It is not to be wondered at that the
group of horsemen doubted this story.
Then the narrator produced a turf guide
and the almanac. Of the winnings of
the pool and the amount of money in it
there was no proof except the horseman's
word, of course.
"It's the most remarkable performance
on record," said one of the party.
"It is one of the inexplicable mysteries
of the turf," replied the man who had
told the story.—New Yorl Sun.
The t'nlqne Horn of the t'nlcorn.
The horn of a unicorn was shown at
Windsor castle and In 1598 was valued
at over £IO,OOO. Lewis Yertoinannus,
a gentleman of Home, saw with his
own eyes two unicorns presented to the
sultan of Mecca by a king of Ethiopia.
They were In a park of the temple of
Mecca and were not much unlike a colt
of 30 months of age. This was in 1503.
The animal became extinct about the
end of the seventeenth century.
The unicorn is represented in the
ruins at Perscpolis, and it was adopted 1
by the Persians as the emblem of speed
and strength. In the middle ages it
was the symbol of purity. The unicorn
hated the elephant, and it used to whet
Its horn on a stone before it struck the
foe in the abdomen. No family, by the
way, should be without one of these
horns, the average length of which is
four feet. They defend from witch
craft. Thus Torquemada had one al
ways on his writing table. Further
more, a drinking cup made from one
will be a safeguard against poison, as
will the ground powder putin drink,
nnd indeed the wells of the palace of
St. Mark could not be poisoned in the
good old days of adventure because
these beneficent horns had been
thrown into them. Unicorn's horn was
formerly sold by apothecaries at $l2O
an ounce.— Boston Journal.

''l used to lie one <>f those chaps who

i said a hale and hearty business man of
! sixty odd years, "hut before I had quite
I accomplished a fatal termination, as so
many of my brethren have done and are

"Wt 11. listen a moment, and when you
hrve heard maybe you will feci called j
upon to think it not so excessively pre- |
posierous as it seems. Thirty years ago, !
at wliieh time I had built up a business t
that was worth SIO,OOO u year to me, I
was so overworked that I was almost a !
shadow. My digestion and my nerves |
were gone, I could scarcely sleep, and
j the little spells of rest I took when my
wife and the doctor forced me to do it j
were of no use at all. Lord knows how
long I would have stood it. but the busi
| ness was growing, and I was making
j more*money every day, and I seemed to •
I think that that was justification for the '
i loss of everything else, save honor. I
| had one big manufacturing firm whose
I president threw into my hands yearly >
| contracts that brought me at least half
j my profits, and I was about to receive I
! one that would net me $25,000 and great- j
ly increase the yearly business. The j
president had been a friend of my fa- i
ther, and it was on this account he had
i given me first chance at his work, other
' things being equal. I had not seen hin
i for a couple of years, and just before ,
j awarding the big emitrnft he wrote to j
I me to come to the city where he lived to :
| talk the matter over. I worked harder |
j than ever to get everything up before •
' taking four or five days out of a busy |
; time and rode all night to the city, li
I was at his office when he got there, and, j
i by Jove, he didn't know me!
" 'My dear boy,' he said when I told
him who I was, 'you are killing yourself j
j with overwork. I know all the symp
i torus, and 1 know a dozen men who have j
j gone just the way you are going.'
"'Oh, I guess not.' I laughed. 'I may !
i be working pretty hard, but I'm young I
and have a good constitution, and I think ;
I can stand it.'
"He was a testy old fellow, and be ar- j
i gncd with me ou the subject until he lost
j his temper.
" 'I teil you, Fred,' he said at last, 'I
know what I'm talking about, and I will j
| not be a party to your self destruction. I
j You've got more work than you can do ;
already, and I'll give that contract to one
of the other firms that are after it and !
give them, besides, one-half of the busi
ness I've been letting you have. That
will give you a good deal less to do. and
; when you have pulled yourself together
again and given that good constitution
of yours a chance I'll see what we can
i do for you.'
"Well, it almost took my breath away,
but he was not to be moved to a reeon
| sideration. and I went back home with
out the contract. I suppose I might have
; worked harder than ever to get other
business, but the old gentleman's method .
j of getting at me brought me to my senses,
and I concluded that when a man was j
i working so hard he was injuring his btisi
| ness probably it was time for him to take
a rest. And take a rest I did, for a whole
| year. I worked, of course, but without
| crowding things, and when I went to see
! the president to have a talk with him
| about a larger contract than ever he
didn't know me again, I was so much im
: proved in appearance, and when I told
him who I was he not only gave me the
| work, but insisted on my taking him out
to dinner as a fee for his medical ad- j
vice." —Washington Star.

i bus is a stud of 12 horses, of which on

one day, thus securing a complete day's

■ ers, says John M. Jamison in The
Prairie Farmer. This condition of af
fairs can be changed very much for
the better if the farmer will set him
self about It. We have much sym
pathy for the farmer living in a coun
try where there is no gravel to help
him overcome this unpleasant condi
tion of affairs. Yet even he cannot be
excused entirely for allowing the mud
to become deep and miry in his feed
lots. We have no sympathy for the
farmer who sells his straw for 3 - ,
a bale and complains of muddy and ,
filthy feed lots. It Is one of the pro- >
visions of nature that what grows on j
the soil should go back to it to retain
and increase its productiveness. Farm
ers regard straw as an unprofitable
product to handle to get back to the
land, yet much more of it can be used
In making the stock comfortable by
keeping down the mud.
We have cut down our barn lot
where we feed roughness to as small
size as possible. When empty of ma
nure, the water sheds away from the
gateways, but when the lot fills up
with manure It also accumulates In the
gateways. These gateways and part
of the barn lot are well laid with fine
gravel. We aim to get a fine quality
of gravel, so that small stones or bowl
ders will not work out Into the manure
and be hauled to the cultivated fields.
The straw put over the gravel in the
gateways to prevent the gravel being
tramped up and mixed with the ma
nure soon becomes tramped to pieces
and filthy, and additional applications
fill up the gateways, so that the gates
will not open. Until recently it has
been our custom to pitch this broken
straw and manure to one side and fill
in with fresh straw. Now, instead of j
throwing to one side, it is loaded on the '
sled and hauled directly to the field J
and scattered. It is what may be
termed raw manure, but we know if j
taken to the field at once none of its j
valuable properties will be lost, and, j
besides, we are able In this way to :
keep the gateways clean and unob- 1
structed. A deep bed of straw laid on j
the lot and passways to It before the :
ground gets soft will prevent the
tramping up of the soil and gravel and
Is far preferable and much more clean
ly than allowing the lot to fill up grad
ually with refuse cornstalks and other j
provender left by the stock. "ear 9
ago, when the colts on this farm ran j
J out all winter, over the fields and In j
muddy lots we nearly always had cases
j of scratches and grease heel to contend ,
with before spring. Now, when the !
lots are kept clean with straw, the
young horses escape these troubles, j
This is not a visionary project that we (
advocate, for we have followed the
plan long enough to know that It pays. |
Of course it requires more work than j
to allow the straw to rot down In the
field or to sell it, but it is the kind of .
work that pays us, because our stiff
clay soil needs this coarse manure to
add to Its fertility and improve its
chemical condition.
Ranire Outlook.
Of all the industries of the state, the
Industries that have the assurance of ;
being permanent, there is none that j
figures out nicer on paper than sheep ,
raising. Assuming that the wool will i
: pay for the keep of the sheep and that j
the lamb will bring from $1.50 to $2
per head, tills Is a handsome profit on 1
an Investment of $3 to $3.50, the price j
of a nice thrifty young ewe. But pre- J
j sumlng that these figures are above
what we can count on as an average it
! Is fair to presume that lambs will not
go below $1.25, which were panic
1 prices. In assuming that the wool will
pay the cost of keeping we are not fig
-1 urlng on 15 cent wool. Now, assum
ing that the wool paid the keep of the
I sheep in the days of the panic. It is
fair to presume that it will overpay
i now, but we assume that taken as an
average of ten years In the business It
Is safe only to calculate on the wool
paying the sheep's way. And we are
j willing to place the low ebb of the
lamb crop at $1.25 per head. No one
can say that this Is overestimating the
value of lambs, for as long as beef
keeps up to $3.50, which it will be re
membered was the low water mark on
good merchantable beef In 1893, there
w'll be good money in buying lambs at
$1 25 per head aud feeding them for
the spring market. Lambs will be
worth this figure even to feed on the
products of our own state. Now, when
th? minimum figures of an Industry
promise a profit such as this, it certain
ly looks like a good pursuit to bank on.

Fnrren as a Negro Minstrel.
From almost the beginning of Ameri
can stage history there were negroes of
the minstrel variety impersonated on
the stage, though it was not until about
18-10 that they were organized Into
bands. Some of the greatest actors of
later days had their experience as min
strels, among them Joe Jefferson and
j Edwin Forrest.
Forrest was given a negro "song and
dance" act to do when he was very
young, and after he had studied it up
he asked where was the "old negro
lady" that was to act his assistant In
the piece. The management tried sev
eral of the women who were members
of the company, but none of them
would consent to blacken up, and, In
fact, they were very indignant over the
proposition. The actor, however, was
not easily discouraged, and on the
| night of the first performance he black
ened up and went around the corner to
an old negro woman who did his wash
j iug-
I "Hello, Dinah," he said on entering,
i "llow vo* bo er feelin dis bery tine
! ebonln V"
j "Hello, yo'." replied the African lady,
j " 'l'ears to me yo' am er bery fresh nlg
' | ger."
"I'ze no nigger," answered Forrest,
! and then, time being rather short, he
assumed iiis natural voice and told 1)1-
' nali, much to her surprise, that he was
1 Forrest, the actor, and that he wanted
' j her togo on the stage with him that
i night and laugh loudly at frequent in
; ! tervals, which was all the female part
called for. The two made a great lilt
' and were kept on for some time, which
goes to show that Forrest might have
been a good minstrel had he been of an
| ambitious nature.— Saturday Evening

Mtr»»oii nn«l Thirteen,
The superstition that 13 is the harbin
ger of misfortune met with a unique con
tradiction i:i the case of Nausen. 1 hir
" feen was the number of his party on
hoard the Fram. Rut the lucky 13 of the
great explorer did not stop at the nuin
. ber of his party, lie left his ship for the
north pole on March 13, 180.i; the I ram
broke from the ice on Aug. 13. IS!M>, and
Nansen himself arrived at I roinso on
the same day of the month. Curiously
enough, these slices of good luck were
mentioned at the thirteenth anniversary
dinner of the Geographical society, held
on Feb. 13, IS:>7. At the same banquet
Nausen stated that on Dec. 13, 13 pups
were born ou board the I'raui.
HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL SEAT.
How Mark Twain Identified It on a
Visit to Hannibal.
Several years ago Mr. Clemens went
to Hannibal for the purpose of spending
a short time amid the scenes of liis boy
hood. In the course of his visit he was
much iu company of his lifelong friend.
Colonel Ito Bards, one of the pillars of
the community. With Colonel Ho Hards
he made a tour of the churches oue
bright Sunday morning, taking particular
interest iu the children. At the place of
his first visit ihc host told the Sunday
school superintendent that the distin
guished visitor would be glad to address
the little folks. Mr. Clemens at once
r-w reminiscent. He was glad to be j
■ line again, back among the hills of his i
ear'" > •! . where he knew every rock
I • It was good to be in the old
; Lome Sunday school again. Here Colo
j fiel Ho Bards and the superintendent ex
changed glances of doubt.
"Yes," continued the speaker, "and you
must know how it delights me to be in
this Sunday school, where every bench is
to me an old friend. I sat right over
there where the stove used to be—right
in that seat where the little girl with ihe
red dress is now. Ah, how it all comes
back to me!"
Then Colonel Ho Bards pulled at the
famous man's coattails and indicated that
it was time to hurry on. At the next
Sunday school Mr. Clemens was soon on
his feet.
"My dear friends," he said, "I am so
happy to be here again, close to the
scenes I once knew so well, for right
there, within 20 feet of where I stand, is
the seat in which I used to sit with
Charles Curtis" (or some one equally well
known). "How well I remember it all!"
Colonel Ho Bards blushed for his guest
and begged a pressure of time as an ex
cuse for leaving. When the two were
safely out of the church, Colonel Ho
Bards turned on him.
"See here, Sam," he said, "you never
went, to Sunday school in that church. It
wasn't there when you lived in Hannibal,
or the other one either, for that matter."
"Goodness me! Can that he so?" Mr.
! Clemens exclaimed. "How time does
I fly"'
Then the two visited a third church, a
I spick and span new one, of which the
' congregation was very proud. Mr. Clem- j
, ens, as soon as his presence became
: known, was duly pressed for a few re
| marks.
"I can only say," he said, "that I am
! very happy to be here this morning,
i The sight of this magnificent edifice re
calls to my mind other days than this.
! It brings to my thoughts another group
I of youngsters, hardly as well dressed as
these bright faced boys and girls, but all j
! quite as anxious to become good men and !
women. I was one of them. My seat j
! was over there near where the boy with :
a red necktie is sitting. Indeed I think j
| it must be the same seat."
Then, walking closer, as if to scrutinize
! the place more carefully, he said, "Yes, I
i it's the same."
I "Come on," said Colonel lio Bards; |
"it's time togo to dinner." —Saturday

ARMOUR IN THE PANIC OF 1893.
Ho iv lie Got Ready For u Storm
When the Sk> Whk Clear.
In ISO 2 the old man was on one of his
annual trips to the German mineral wa
ters. At Carlsbad he met the moneyed /
men of Europe, and he put together all
the hints that he got from this one and
that one, and out of these hints he evolv
ed a theory. He packed his grip and
started for home, and the day he landed
in New York he telegraphed for the
heads of his departments to meet him in
, Chicago.
"How's business?" he asked cheerfully
I as he sat down in the midst of the pow
-1 wow and within range of 20 telegraph
! machines.
I "Never better; making money hand
j over fist," said the managers.
I "Cut everything down to the very edge,"
i said the old man in a very businesslike
way. "There's a storm brewing. Haul
iu sail. Stack ffp every dollar in cash in
! the vaults that you can get your hands
ou. Go into the money streets and use
the name of I*. D. Armour for all it is
worth. Get every dollar to be had and
then come back and tell me about it."
They all believed in their hearts that
the oid man was getting panicky, but
they did exactly as he said. They pro
cured nearly $2,000,000.
"That's not nearly enough. Go out and
get more," he directed. "Don't be afraid.
Get every dollar you can and get it just
as quickly as you can."
Finally they obtained $4,000,000 in
cash, and this, with securities on hand,
footed up $8,000,000.
"Now, maybe we can weather it," said
Mr. Armour, and his preparations were
hardly completed before the crash of
18!>3 came.
One of the first things to happen in the
desperate financial straits was a run on
the biggest banks in Chicago. One
morning a messenger brought word that
a mob was lined up in front of the Illi
nois Trust and Savings bank and that
the people were demanding their money.
Some of the most conservative business
men had lost their heads, and the rush
was enough to stagger any set of bank
officials. Ogden Armour, son of the old
man, was a director in the bank.
"This must be stopped," said P. D.
Armour.
"He waited a minute to arrange the
everyday bunch of roses in the horn vase
on his desk," said the man who told this
story, "and then he snatched up his hat
and started for the bank."
Mr. Armour mingled with the crowd
on the sidewalk iu front of the bank,
going first to one and then to another,
pledging his own credit for the deposits.
He never left the place until the closing
hour, and by that time the run
ped. He went back to his office and
issued a call for a meeting of Chicago
business men the next morning. Then
he cabled to London and bought half a
million dollars in gold ou his own ac
count. He ate a little luncheon aud
drove out to Armour institute that after
noon as usual. He watched the classes
at drill, and then he inquired placidly,
"Is anything wanted?" On his way
home to dinner he stopped at the homes
of his two sons for a little visit. After
dinner he said that he felt a bit tired
that evening and couldn't account for it.
