RAINBOW AN IDLE BOASTER
Like Many Vain and Conceited Folks
It Had Forgotten by Whose Favor
t Was Possible.
A most beautiful rainbow, was
lighting up tho skies. Gold, crimson,
purple, ovvry lovely tint, was com
prised In Its arch, from the deepest to
the moat delicate liuos.
Hvery ono admired It most ot all
It admired Itself, '
"I am handsome, it said, "inoro
beautiful, fnr handsomer, than tho
sun, for bright as ho Is ho has but ono
color, and I have many."
Tho monarch of tho skies heard this
boast and smiled a quiet smile. Then
hiding his beams In n cloud, ho con
ccnlod himself for an Instant.
Where was tho rainbow?
It had disappeared. It had forgot
ten that only by tho reflection of the
sun could t exist. And so It Is with
vain and conceited folks who forget
by whoso favor they live, whose hand
has made them prosperous nnd by
whoso grace alone they aro permitted
to enjoy thoso gifts, the possession ot
which makes thorn conceited and
proud.

BOY WITH A BUSINESS BUMP
Minneapolis Lad Picks Up Neat Sum
of Money by Establishing Profit
1 able Bakery Route,
Robert Stuart Is a Minneapolis boy.
Last summer ho very much wanted to
earu somo money ot hlB own. Ho
thought of all tho schomcs that ho
ever had heard of and then hostnr'tcd
nn cntlroly new one. Ho went to Mr.
Townscnd, who had just opened a
bakery In Hennepin avenue, and said
that If ho was supplied with a horsu
and wagon ho thought ho could get up
a profitable routo of customers. Mr.
Townscnd was a Uttlo doubtful of Rob
ert's ability, but ho said that ho would
glvo Robert n commission on all tho
customers ho could get So Robert
started out and mado a thorough can
vass ot tho neighborhood and ho Boon
found nearly thirty families that,
agreed to tnko Mr, Townscnd's goods
If thoy wero delivered promptly. Sd
Robert got up every morning at flvo
o'clock nnd, mounted on IiIb wheel, ha
would take n big basket of bread and
buns nnd deliver thorn to his custom
ers. Tho basket wns firmly fastened
to tho handlebars of his machine. Ho
wns so prompt and pleasant that his
customers Increased to fifty and thon
ho could not carry nil ot the bread In
a basket. So ho bought a Uttlo iron
wngon and fitted a largo basket Inside
ot It. This ho tied behind his wheel.
Almost any morning ho can bo seen
spinning along tho streets with the
bread wagon rattling along behind him.
Delivering Brea.d.
In this way Robert, although ho li
only thirteen years old, has worked up
a good business, ho Is making money
and Mr. Towusend never would think
ot parting wltlj hla services.
