Edison told by George Parsons Lathorp in Harper's, in which lie figures as a news boy. . "At the beginning of the civil war," laid Mr. Edison; "I was slaving late and early, at selling papers; bnt to tell the truth, I was not making a fortune. I worked on so small a margin that I had to be mighty careful not to overload myself with papers I couldn't selL On the other hand, . I could not afford to carry so few that I should find myself sold out long before the end of the trip. To enable myself to hit the happy mean, I formed a plan which turned out admirably. I made a friend of one of the compositors in the Free Press office, and persuaded him to show me every day a 'galley proof,' of the most important news article. From a study of its headlines I soon learned to guage the value of the day's news and its selling capacity, so that I could form a tolerably correct estimate of the number of papers I should need. As a rule, I oould dispose of about two hun dred: but if there was any special news from the seat of war, the sale ran up to 300 or over. Well, one day my oom- positor brought me a proof slip of* which nearly the whole was taken up with a gigantic display head. It was the first report of the battleof Pittsburgh Land ing--afterward called Shiioh, you know --and it gave the number of killed and wounded as 60,000 men! "I grasped the situation at once. Here was a chance for enormous sales, if only the people along the line could know what had happened; if only they could see the proof slip I was then read ing ! Suddenly an idea occurred to me. I rushed off to the telegraph operator and gravely made a proposition to him, which he received just as gravely. He, on his part, was to wire to each of the principal stations on our route, asking the station-master to chalk upon the back of the bulletin board--used for an nouncing the times or arrival and de parture of trains--the news of the great battle, with its accompanying slaughter. This he was to do at once; while I agreed in return, to supply him 'free, gratis, for nothing,' a Harper's Weekly, a Harper's Monthly, and a daily even ing paper during the next six months from that date. "This bargain struck, I began to be think me how I was to gat enough pa pers to make the grand coup I intended. I had very little cash, and, I feared, still less credit. I went to the Super intendent of the de'ivery department and proffered a modest request for 1,000 copies of the F^ee Press on trust But I was not much surprised when my re quest was curtly and gruffly refused. In those days, though, I was a pretty cheeky boy, and I felt desperate, for I saw a small fortune in prospect if my telegraph operator had kept his word-- a point on which I was a trifle doubtful. Nerving myself for a great stroke, I marched upstairs into the office of Wil bur F. Storey himself, and asked to see him. A few minutes later I was shown in to him. I told him who I was, and that I wanted 1,500 copies of the papier on credit. The tall, thin, dark-eyed, ascetic-looking man stared at me for a moment, and then scratched a few words on a slip of paper. 'Take that down stairs,' said he 'and you will get what you want.' And so I did. Then I felt "happier than I have ever felt since. "I took my 1,500 papers, got three boys to help me fold them, and mounted the train, ail agog to find out whether the telegraph operator had kept his word. At the town where our first stop was made, I usually sold two pa pers. As the train swung into that sta tion I looked ahead, and thought there must be a riot going on. A big crowd filled the platform, and as the train drew up I began to realize that they wanted my papers. Befox-e we left i had sold a hundred or two at five cents apiece. At the next station the place was fairly black with people. I raised the ante, and sold 300 papers at ten cents each. So it went on until Port Huron was reached. Then I trans ferred my remaining stock to the wagon which always waited for me there, hired a small boy to sit on the pile oi papers in the back of the wagon, so as to discount any pilfering, and sold out •very paper I had at a quarter of a dol lar or more per copy. I remember; I passed a church full of worshippers,' asd stopped to yell out my news. In tefi seconds there was not a soul left in meeting. All of them, including the parson, were clustered around me^ bid ding against each other for copies of the precious paper. f ^ "You can understand why it struck me then that telegraph must be about the best thing going, for it was the tele graphic notices on the bulletin boawl that had done the trick. I determined at once to become a telegraph operator. But if it hadn't been for Wilbur F. Storey, I should never have fully ap preciated the wonders of electrical sci ence." . _____ A Lucky Accident. A Secret Service detective tells the following story: It was one thing to catch a counterfeiter and another to get hold of his plates. To arrest and imprison a shover of. the queer was getting rid of a dangerous man, to be sure, but yet the gang could replace hint within twenty-four hours. The engravers were the real crimi nals. It was better to capture one of them than to run in a half-dozen of the fellows who simply put the stuff into circulation. In 1861 there appeared a counterfeit ten-dollar treasury note so well exe cuted as to deceive several bank cash iers in St. Loute. The notes, according to the information we got, were printed in that city, and I was one ol the three detectives detailed to proceed to that city and leave no stone un turned to bring the offenders to justice. We had pointers from two or three chaps who had been run down and placed behind the bars, and while we did not succeed in laying hands on the men we wanted, the trail got so hot that we decided to leave St. Louis for Chicago. I was at the depot one morning on a little errand of my own, when a finely dressed woman about 30 years old drove up alone in a hack. I stood at her elbow when Bhe purchased a ticket for Chicago, but it was more from acci dent than design. She carried a reti cule in her hand, and so far as any one could judge she was calm and collected, and knew just what to do without ask ing a question. She was leaving the ticket window when a man who was carrying a cane under his arm whirled around and th& point of the stick struck her in the arm. She screamed out with pain, and after a moment fainted away. Two or three of us carried her into the ladies' sitting room, and it bappened that I picked np the reticule, which fallen from her hands as she *ent Its iweigbt aroused my suspi- and while the others were sur rounding this lady I got a peep into the bag, which was not locked. It con tained the two plates on which H"* dstogerous counterfeit was printed. A stranger, who seemed to be greatly ex cited over the accident, and who ad vised the lady in a whisper to get aboard the train as quickly as possible, was taken into custody, and turned out to be her husband. He was the en graver of the plates, and she was the one who was to get them to Chicago. They were taken to police headquarters in a hack and within two hours three other arrests had been made and the gang broken up. ^ s ;y v An Unexpected Deteetlyi* Col. Snodgrass, of Houston, Tex., stepped into a street car one day, and .was heartily greeted by his friend, Judge Pennybunker, a cynical old bachelor. Snodgrass was <on Ins way home to dinner. He invited Pennybunker to dine with him. The other passenger in the car was a lady closely veiled. After conversing on the Russian influenza and other topics of the day, Judge Pennybunker, casting a glance at the veiled lady, re marked : "Do yon see that fashionably dressed l&dy in the other end of the car?" "Well, what about her? She has a tolerable good figure, but I expect it's padded,r replied Snodgras«L "Don't she remind you of an Indian?" "How so? . "All fashionable ladies remind me of Indians," remarked Pennybunker. "But in what way?" "In the first place, there is an out ward resemblance between the two. "Well, explain yourself." "The Indian," said, Pennybunker, looking at the lady in the car, "loves finery and loud colors. The more rainbow colors an Indian can hang on his person the happier he is. It is the same with a woman." "That's a fact. I never thought of that," "Then, again," continued Penny bunker, "an Indian paints his face. So does a woman." "Correct you are. At least my wife does," said Snodgrass. "Indians scalp their viotims. Women snatch them bald-nea<led. Bight you are, Pennybunker." •" "Indians can't take care of them selves. They have to be provided with rations and everything else they need, and if they don't get what they want they go on the war path. They don't differ any in that respect from women." "That's just the kind of a wife I've got," corroborated Snodgrass. "Women love sugar and candy. So do Indians." Snodgrass winked, and looked at the lady in the car. She was eating cara mels. "Indians," continued Pennybunker, "wear feathers on their heads, and women wear whole bi rds." . The lady in the end of the car must have heard them, for the bird in her hat fluttered with indignation. Indians can't vote, and neither pan women, and both are vindictive and un forgiving." The car was now in front of the Snodgrass mansion, and Pennybunker having accepted Snodgrass' invitation to dine, they signalled to the driver, and both stood up to get out. So did the veiled lady. She threw back her veil and glanced at the two friends. She had overheard every word. "My wife!" gasped Snodgrass. "I believe I'll not get out," said Pennybunker, sitting down again. The car went on.--Alex. Sweet, in Neic York Mercury. Where He Could Learn. He was a gay young man, aud as he stood around the depot his fancy dress caught the eyes of several, and in a few moments quite a crowd gathered about him. "So you're goin' off to school ?" asked one of them, who was evidently an ac quaintance. "Yes," was the reply. "What are you goin' to study?" "Pharmacy,'* was the lofty answer. "His reply caught the ears of an old granger standing at hand, who ap proached and asked: "So ye air gwine to er fajrmacy, air yon ?" 7 "Yes, that is what I said." "Young man," began the farmer, re flectively, "what air it gwine ter cost you ?" "Four or five hundred dollars." "Well, youngster, I kin save ye all o: that, an' sides learn you more than any fesser you kin meet up with." "How*?" asked the youth." "Ef you'll come an' live with me six months, an' work like I tell ye to, I'll bet I'll larn ye more 'bout farmin' than fifty o' these high-toned farmercies kin, an' more'n that, I'll put up Whai in the blazes air he gone to?" The only reply he received was the sound of the retreating footsteps of the astounded, youth.--Atlanta Constitu tion. Good for the Tone or a Piano. "It is a popular notion that piacoe ought to be kept very dry," said a well- known pianist the other day. "Nothing could be more fallacious. Pianos are aot nearly so much affected by heat or cold as they are by dryness, and re versely by dampness. It is not generally known that the sounding board, the iife of a piano, is forced into the ease when it is made so tightly that it bulge* up in the center, on the same principle as a violin. The wood is supposed tc be as dry as possible, but of course it contains some moisture, and gather* more on damp days and in handling. Now, when a piano is put into an over heated dry room, all this moisture ie dried out, and the board loses its shape, and gets flabby and cracks. Even ii it doesn't crack, the tone loses its resonauce and grows thin and tinny, the felt cloth and leather used in the action dry up, and the whole machine rattles." "How will you prevent this?" "Keep a growing plant in your room, and so long as your plant thrives youi piano ought to, or else there is some thing the matter with it. It should be noted how much more water will have to be poured into the flower pot in the room where the piano is than in any other room."--Albany Argus. Hew Wrinkles in Fashions. "Bless my soul!" exclaimed young fiighly, "here's a new wrinkle in fash ions !" "What's that?" inquired Snodgrass. "They're making whole suits oi clothes out of paper." "Nothing very new abtfut that. Made a whole suit of clothes out of paper the other day mvself." "How was'that?" "Note for ninety days," was the la conic rejoinder.--Detroit Free Press, THE AfttZOHl HCKEft. aMNsks WmMb Ktftterlal Enterprise. We extract the following from the last isdne of the Arizona Kicker: "A Straw.--We have just closed a bargain withflenry Shane, the well- known contractor and builder, for a ono-story addition to the rear end of our office, to be 11x14 in size. This room will be used as a gunsmith shop under our own personal management. This will give us, under one and the same roof, a great weekly paper, a job and book office, a grocery, a feed store, a hardware store, a butcher shop, a boot and shoe store, a signal station, and a gun-shop. Three years ago, upon our arrival in this town, we slept under a wagon for the first three nights, and the first money we had was a borrowed dollar. "Is it any wonder that our moon-eyed, lantern-jawed, mule-eared contemporary down the street gnaws a file all day and has the colic all night.*' "Always Aiifad. -- Next Monday morning an artist and engraver from Chicago will arrive in town to accept of a position tendered by the Kicker. We are the first to introduce a real art ist into Arizona, as we lead the way in all other good thiiigs. Hereafter all matters of local importance, but more especially street rows attended with loss of life, will be illustrated in the highest style of the art, thereby in creasing the value of the Kicker to subscribers by at least 100 per cent, while the price of subscription will »e- main at the old figures." "The Gaixed Jabf..--It has so hap pened, every time we have been obliged to kill a man in this town in self-de fense, that the coroner and everybody else was in a great hurry, and that the body was buried in the most conve nient place. Last week we were struck with the idea of getting them all together in one common spot, and we bought an acre of sand lot of Col. Haw kins for a ground-work. Our green- eyed contemporary got a hint of what was up, and, ne welit blowing around town and did his best to head us off; he failed, however, and during the thaw we had the five bodies taken up, re moved to what is already known as 'the Kicker corral,' and each grave desig nated with a white headboard with the name painted neatly thereon. In the spring, we shall see that each grave is covered with trailing arbutus that is--if arbutus will trail in this country. The names as they appear on the head-boards, are: 'Moee, Pete, Jim, Sam and Jack.' We shall prob ably add a couple more to the list be fore the ides of May, whatever that is. "They Don't Enthc.se. -- Every now and then some one who is dissatisfied with the course of the Kicker bob3 up with a proposition- to run us out of the county by establishing a new weekly, in opposition. He goes blowing around, gets out a prospectus on a broken- backed type-writer, puts his own name down for $5, and that's the last of it. We've i?een twenty such cases in the last three years, and they no longer make our hair stand on eud and chills canter up aud down our spinal column. "Two weeks ago we felt it our duty to caution the Mayor of this town that he was riding a high horse, and that he must come down to a mule or we'd take neasures to make him.

' A group of well-dressed and prosper ous-looking business men sat about a table in a New York restaurant after luncheon, a few days ago, chatting on all sorts of topics and watching the smcke rings from their cigars float up to the frescoed ceiling. The conversation drifted after a time into tales of busi ness success, and the eldest and most imposing member of the party did his part by telling this story: "I owe my present prosperity," he began, "to the fact that when I was a lanky youth of 17 my clothes did not lit me. To be more explicit, I was at that age in dreadfully hard luck. My peo ple were dead, I hadn't a friend that I could turn to. I was able to make but $(j a week, and was half starved in con sequence, and my one suit (a Cheap; John rig) had shrunk until the lower edge of my vest and the band of my trousers were absolutely divorced. "One Sunday morning in December. I was trudging along Sixth Avenue, principally because my room was even more comfortless than the streets, and I remember how I was railing and repin-, ing at everything and everybody. I, was passionately fond of music and'I went into the first church I came to, attracted solely, I must confess, by the thought of the warmth and harmony I would find. "I was too bashful then to sit still while the rest of the congregation stood, so I got up every time they did, and as my vest and trousers were, as I told you before, not on speaking terms, I was forced to lean forward in a most rever ential manner to hide my zone of shirt front. As I turned to go out at the close of services an old gentleman behind me slipped a card into my hand and said: "I like to see reverence in a young man. You look as if you were Having a hard time of it. Come and see me to-morrow. I may help you." "I went and got a good berth in his employ, and from that I worked myself to comparative wealth.
