ANECDOTES FROM
LIFE OF MORTON
Former Vice President Had Big
Successes,
I MANY SIDED PERSONAGE.
How Ho Gave "Pin Money" Houso to
Each of His Five Daughters His
Splendid Farm Accepted Statue of
Liberty For United States How He
Paid Back His Creditors.
Levi l Morton, vico president of the
United States under Benjamin Harri
son nnd governor of Now York for the
term beginning In 189-1, appears In
history with big success to his credit.
Mr. Morton In his long and active life
tlgured as schoolteacher, merchant,
banker, farmer, slntcsman and diplo
mat. Incidents In his career are recorded
In Interesting anecdotes. lie began life
as a boy doing chores In a country
grocery store. lie next eked a penuri
ous living from teaching a small dis
trict school.
A notable story of Mr. Morton after
he had reached the position of wealth
Is that of how ho gave pin money
houses to each of his Ave daughters.
Mr. Morton set aside a row of five
handsome brownstono houses in West
Nluety-flfth street, near Central park.
New York, for his daughters. They
were worth $30,000 apleco years ago,
when ho flrst acquired them, and rap
Idly took on increased value.
As each of the Misses Morton came
to her twenty-first birthday Mr, Mor
ton conferred upon her one of the One
residences as a pin money gift. It
was a matter of much public interest
when tho social calendar announced
the approaching coming out party of
one of the young women, and it be
came known incidentally that a pin
money house was to change hands.
Accepted Liberty Statue.
As United States minister to France
Mr. Morton was the one to formally
accept the Liberty statue from France.
Ho hammered the first nail in the con
struction of tho great monument.
While governor and during his re
tirement from public Ufo Mr. Morton
found chief diversion in his magnifi
cent farm estate of EllersIIe, at Khine-cllff-on-tho-IIudson.
It comprises about
1,000 acres of splendidly scenic land,
with a park of lawns, walks, knolls,
shady dells and gardens. It possesses
great greenhouses nnd a fine herd of
blooded Guernsey cattle.
Mr. Morton received notable prizes
for his three animals, named Crown
Prince of Orange, Annatto and Lord
Worth III.
As a diplomat Mr. Morton won the
credit for obtaining from France a de
cree relieving American banks, tele
graph and insuranco companies from
tho hardship of being unable to col
lect any debt in Franco from any
French citizen.
Mr. Morton flrst became a prominent
merchant as' member of the firm of
Morton & Grinnell, dealing in dry
goods In Now York. An amusing story
la told of this venture. Tho young
clerks in tho store ncquired tho fash
Ion, of wearing trim, natty little mus
tachios. One day an order nppeared
on the walls requiring that the clerks
appear to work without their mus
tachios before a certain date or be
ready to resign.
How Mustachios Disappeared.
There wasn't any strike, and from all
accounts the mustachios disappeared.
Mr. Morton in telling tho story in aft
er years asserted ho hadn't placed tho
cruel order on the walls, but under
stood that somo of the country cus
tomers had complained to one of the
managers that they didn't like being
waited upon by young men wearing
high hats and mustachios. It was the
manager who issued tho order.
This firm went into bankruptcy dur
ing the civil war, and tho creditors re
ceived 50 cents on the dollar. Years
afterward, when Mr. Morton had re
couped his fortune, ho invited the cred
itors of the Morton & Grinnell firm to
a big dinner. At each man's plate
was a check for tho balanco duo him
on the old account

ARM JOURNAL ("cream, not skim milk") is the great little

Atkinson. It is taken and read by more families than any other
farm paper in the WORLD. Its four million readers (known as
" Our Folks ") are the most intelligent and prosperous country
people that grow, and they always say the Farm Journal helped
to make them so. Their potatoes are larger, their milk tests higher, their hogs
weigh more, their fruit brings higher prices, because they read the Farm Journal.
Do you know Peter Tumbledown, the old fellow who won't take the Farm Journal? By showing
how NOT to run a farm, Peter makes many prosperous. Nobody can go on reading the Farm Journal
and being a Tumbledown too. Many have tried, but all have to quit one or the other.
The Farm Journal is bright, brief, "boiled down," practical, full of gumption, cheer and sunshine.
It is strong on housekeeping and home-making, a favorite with busy women, full of life and fun for boys and
girls. It sparkles with wit, and a happy, sunny spirit. Practical as a plow, readable as a novel. Clean and
pure, not a line of fraudulent or nasty advertising. All its advertisers arc guaranteed trustworthy.
The Farm Journal gives more for the money and puts it in fewer words than any other farm paper.
32 to 80 pages monthly, illustrated. FIVE years (60 issues) for $1.00 only. Less than 2 cents a month.
No one-year, two-year or three-year subscriptions taken at any price.
