EAST UPUN FORTUNES Tilâ€"HIGH SPRING FROM HOSPITALITY. Cases Where a. Good Turn Has Raised People From Poverty to Afliuence. It is well perhaps that virtue is not always its own sole reward, and that occasionally it reaps a more material harvest, which is none the less desirable because it is deserved. , Une never knows too, after how many years the bread of charity which has been cast upon the wa- ters will reappear. Only a very few years ago a poor man in an ling- lish country village found himself raised from a life of struggle and. poverty to what to him was the very pinnacle of aflluence as the re- sult of an act of charity done by his grandparents more than seventy yerrs earlier. It is known to many that a cer- tain rich London merchant who died a. few years ago bug-an his life in the unpromising role of a foundling; but the true story of his early days and its recent sequel are known to few. As an infant, barely twelve. months old, he was found on the doorstep of a Mr. Lund, a benevolâ€" ent but struggling Yorkshire far- mer. No one knew with any certain- ty where the infant came from, but. it was assumed that he had been left by a young \von'm who had bten seen. on the outski LS of the village with a. baby in her arms. The ten- der-hearted farmer and his wife took the child into their home, and, fail- ing to find any trace of the mother, brong-ht him up as their own child. He received a fair education in the village school and was apprenticed to a draper in a neighboring town, him which he went to Londonâ€"â€" and commenced the career which ended in a partnership in a leading city house and a fortune. So long as his benefactors lived he visited them at intervals, and surrounded them With every comfort in their old age. On his death he left a sum of £10,000 to be divided equally among such of their desCendants as were living. This fortune fell to the lot of James R. Lund, the only survivâ€" ing grandchild, A POOR DAY LABORER, burdened with a large family, who is to-day reaping the harvest which his grandparents' hospitality sowed threeâ€"quarters of a. century ago. In the early sixties a young actor a. member of a strolling company, was struck down by a severe attack of rheumatic fever while acting in Plymouth. When his company mov-J ed on to Exeter he was much too ill to accompany them, and he was left, almost pennilcss, to the care of the landlady in whose house he was lodging. Fortumately she belonged to the happily still existing class of the good Samaritan, and with motherly devotion she nursed the young man back to health, and from her small savings gave him sutiicient money to enable him to regain his company. The ntere money obligaâ€" tion was discharged a few months later ; but the actor’s gratitude did not end here, for when, a few years since, he heard that his benefactress had fallen on evil days and Lad health, he purchased an annuity of £100 ayear for her, an income which she is still enjoying and which enables her to spend her last days in comfort. Without re\e.iliug the identity of this honoro‘ie and tenâ€" derâ€"hearted actor, our readers will have little difficulty in guessing his name. Much has been said and written to the disadvantage of the late Mr. Jay Gould, the American multiâ€" millionaire, but many true stories could be told which prove that at least ingratitude for kiridness could never be laid to his charge. In his very’ youthful days, when he ran away from the paternal farm, partly ln mutiny against the incessant churning which fell to his lot and partly with the boyish ambition to explore the world and make his fortune, he had many proofs of "man’s inhumanity to man.” One day, when the hungry and footsore boy coul‘d tramp no farther, he callâ€" ed at a wayside cottage in Illinois and begged for ~food and a night’s shelter. He was taken in by the hospitable woman of the house, who insisted on his staying some days with her until he was strong enough to resume his journey. Many years later when he was already a rich man, he called again on the hospitâ€" able woman and begged her to acâ€" cept A THOUSAND DOLLARS as a token of his gratitude. But the good lady was as independent as she was good-hearted, and declined the offer. , "Very well," Mr. Gould said, “I‘ will invest it for you, and perhaps it may come in useful some day." A few years later he learned that his benefactress was in great poverty and illâ€"health, and this time he in- duced her to accept his present, which by that time had grown under his skilful hands into no less than $20,000. A man who gave such evidence of gratitude could not. be wholly bad. It is well known that a certain gentleman who showed much kind- ness to M. Gustave Dore when he was an unknown and struggling man after the artist's death reaped many thousands a year from the legacy of his pictures as a reward for hisi kindness and hospitality; but greatâ€" er wealth still came to James S. Hodgson, a miner in the days when What shrunk your woolens ? Why did holes wear so soon P You used common soap. REDUGES EXPENSE All: for the omzon Bar. In: the discovery of gold in California drew thousands to that El llorado, some to make colossal fortunes and others to die on the very verge of them. Among the latter was a man called Henry Hales, who had Secured a claim which, although he did not know it, was to prove one of the tichcst on the fields, when he was seized by a fatal illness, brought on by the fatigue and hardships he had gone through. Although the owner of a potential fortune, he was al- most penniless ; but James Ilodgson gave him shelter, and nursed him with the tenderness and devotion of a woman. When he was dyingr Halts bequeathed to him all that he had in the world, his claim, which might not have been worth the paper it was written on, yielded a fortune of a million and a half dollars before the mine was exhaustedâ€"London Titâ€"Bits. +______ Mrs. Cavebread was entertaining some ladies at a select five o’clock tea, and Bobby, who had been ex- ceptionally well behaved, was in high feather. “Ma,” he said, as cake was being handed round, “may I have some tongue, please?" “There isn’t any tongue, Bobby."

I was a little better but not at all well, and in a short time after I took another bad spell. “This time I sent for another doc- tor, with about the same results, only I was getting weaker all the time. ‘ “Then a man advised me to try Ilodd’s Kidney Pills, for he said they had cured his mother. “I thought I would try them and I got a box and commenced to take them right away. “In just one week after I had takâ€" en in the first dose, I passed a stone as large as a bean, and in four days after I passed another about the size of a grain of barley. “This gave me great relief and I commenced to feel better at once. “The improvement. continued and I gained strength very rapidly until in a short time I was as well as ever. “This is over four years ago, and I have not had the slightest return of the trouble since, so that I know now that my cure was an absolute and permanent one." _____¢.___._ He: “It is a woman's duty to be beautiful if she Can.

Thousands Using the Bicycle Throughout the Country. It. took the public nearly three years to realize just what a useful article a bicycle is. At one time wheeling amounted to a positixe craze. The uniqueness of the maâ€" chine itself appealed to the fancy ‘of nearly everyone. Two years ago many tired of it as a novelty and all of us since then gradually began to feel that it was an invaluable convenience for covering distances, saving time and money, and was positively unequalled as a vehicle for exercise pleasant to take. This is given generally as the reason for what is known as the bicycle reâ€" vival. The cities have not alone walkouâ€" ed up to appreciate the good qualiâ€" ties of the wheel, but throughout the country districts there. has been a remarkable movement, a movement indeed more easily understood than that. in the cities, where means of transportation are many. It is safe to say that there is nothing so absolutely useful as a bicycle on a farm, where the post office or one’s friendly neighbor are several milrs away ; and the price of the best whee-l is now within easy reach of any pocketbook.
