values. The millionaire gave a coin
. tc a newsboy who opened his cab
door. A block away the cab door
opened and its inmate excitedly asked
a policeman to bring him the newsboy,
who was standing staring In a dazed
way at the coin in his hand. "What
tid I give you, boy?" asked the great
banker as the youngster came to the
cab. The boy opened his hand. The
coin was a-$5 gold piece. "Just as I
thought," exclaimed the magnate.
Taking the coin and replacing it "with
a 25-cent piece he drove away. The
newsboy wilted and stood gazing at
the cab. So did the policeman,

Lord Bacon and the Beef Trust.
-
The beef trust might erect a votive
statue to Lord Bacon as the inventor
of the idea of preserving meat by the
frozen process. Bacon brought about
his own premature death by his en
thusiasm in experimenting with his
notion. Driving in Highgate one day,
he left -his 'carriage to collect some
snow with which to stuff a fowl by
way of noting the effect of cold on
the preservation of its flesh. In doing
this he brought on an attack-of bron
chitis, from which he died h a few
days. Refrigerator cars and ''cold
storage" are the same idea. Kansas
