FORTUNE THRUST UPON HIM Prospector Had Dollars in Mind, but Purchaser Was More Used to Pounds Sterling. Some fellows seem to have riches thrust upon them. I recall the case of an old miner from Arizona who went to London to sell a mining prospect. He had a letter of intro- duction to De Crano, an American mining engineer residing in Lon- don, who represented a group of great mining capitalists; the Roth- schilds among others. This old prospector hung around from day to day, waiting for a de- cision by De Crano as to whether or not he would purchase his property. Finally De Crano asked how much he wanted for lris property. Tom somewhat apologetically, as is the way of the honest miner, said: “Mr. De Crano, I think about twen- | ty thousand would be a fair price.” De Crano said: “Yes, I think so, too,” and went out and brought in a check for £20,000. Tom was near- ly paralyzed when he saw the check for £20,000, instead of $20,000, but, like all good men of the West he had his nerve with him and managed to retain his self-possession until he got down to the bank and cashed in the check.—Boston Post. Sailors’ Superstitions, Time was when sallors would not think of sailing without a charm or pocket piece of some kind to ward off bad luck. Wind beads were a favor- fte and in nearly every port were maidens to sell them. Tattoos were considered essential for bon voyage, especlally the butter- fly on the shoulder predominated for good luck. A pig tattooed on the foot was assurance the man would never drown, and sailors say not a man is known to have drowned if he possess- ed this significance of charm against fate. And so the old sailor, by the hour, could spin yarns and point to strange fate inexplicable disaster always. laid at the door of superstition.

If Countess Tolstoy really copied! out the 600,000 words of “War andi Peace” scven times while Tolstoy]| was casting and recasting various| parts of his masterpiece, she- un~ doubtedly deserves the palm for pa~| Mence and perseverance; snd thef more so from the fact that her huss| band’s writing, illegible as often as not, must have added to her toil, ex~ pert as she naturally was im de-| ciphering it. The fact is that the countess, with strong literary -tastes | herself, took the deepest interest im her husband’s work; but 600,000] words seven times over is surely af' record for even an admiring wife.— Christian Science Monitor. 1heWEs1 ERNER% ihe bro Dy STEWART EDWARD WHIT" COMING SOON FGrand- Subscribe for The Pioneer.
