about a samnlo of the Kind of talk ho is
giving , though at times he happens to hit
n truth that is worth while. Ho doubt
less means well , but ho has an odd way.
Perhaps abuse may win over home of the
hard citizens. Ho ought to know , for ho

The now city wclghniaslcr nnd super-

inich cnlhusla ni as any of lih prcdccci-
sor.s. The oillco has become of little ac
count owing to a variety of eircuni-
ftanocs , and yet Mr. Amy has faith to be-
icvo that it can be made to at Icust pay a
ivlng income. There liavo been many
obstacles in the pathway of his predecessor
ser , and the oillco has bt-pn merely lilled
nominally. The now ollicial proposes to
reopen the oflico at the oily building ,
nave the city scales put in shape , and at
tend to his duties carefully and constantly
mtil ho gives it a fair test at least. Pre
vious councils have allowed the duties of
the city woighma'-ter to bo performed by
private parties , and if this same policy js
kept up bv the present council there will
bo little clianco for Mr. Amy to got oven
n living out of the olllcc. It is moro than
probable , however , that with as excellent
nn ollicial as Mr. Amy will imikn the
council will see that bo is given all that
lionpstly belongs to his position , and will
take stops to make tlio ollico what the
law intended it should bo. An attempt
will bo made to Ik up the grounds near
the city building , so as to make a market
place of it , and to stop the licensing of
uthcr scales. It so , the oillco will doubtless -
loss become something moro than an
empty title.

ANECDOTE OF ARMOUR.
Tlio Chicago Pork Packer Hclntcs n
Yuiitlilnl Experience.
Kansas Cily Times ; Perhaps none of
her admirers Imvo a moro abiding faith
in tlio future of Kansas City than Mr.
P. D. Armour , the Chicago millionaire
packer and I'silrpad director. It is im
possible to talk a hn ! hour with him with
out hearing something about the West-
urn giant. The subject once broached ,
Mr. Armour lli s oil nt a tangent , and
the floodgates of his eloquence are not
closed until tlio hearer has acquired a
pretty clear idea of the young
metropolis nnd her prospects. L o-
spite this fact tew oven of
Mr , Armour's most intimate friends
know that the millionaire stood on the
bank of the raging Kaw when Kansas
City was West port Landing and her
brighl de.stjny not yet foreshadowed. It
happened in this wise : Young Armour ,
like thousands of young men in the states ,
early caught the California fever , nnd ,
with cloven other MiuIUon county ( New
York ) boys , started for the land of gold.
The party came up the Missouri via boat ,
and outfitted at Independence. With
Ihrco or four ox wagons and provisions
enough lo last six months , they started
ono bright May morning on their journey
across the plains. The incident was re
lated by Mr. Armour himself , on the oc
casion of his recent visit to tills city.
"It didn't take us long to get ready.
Some of us hustled around and got the
wagons , others laid in provisions , and
Calvin Gilbert was deputized to buy the
oxen , The commission was given him
because ho wiia the oldest of the party ,
and prided himself not a little on his
knowledge of stock. It wasn't long be-
loiu ho found 'hat ho didn't know as
much as ho thought , and not iuarly ) as
'
much as the trader who sold him tho'cat-
tic. Ono of tlio herd lli.it Gilbert bo-tight ,
nn old steer , was bljinl not totally , utit
just enough 50 to make lilni scaroy. It
Impelled that ( Jilburt wns tlio lirst ono
who attempted to tfoko him. Hav
ing some misgiving that ho didn't
know ns much about yoking nn
0 * team as ho pretended ,
though ho took tare not to let
us sco it , Gilbert advanced toward tlio
steer coa\ingly , yoke in hand. Tlio ani
mal didn't see him until the yoke was
almost over Ills head. When ho did , ho
turned suddenly and sliot out his heels.
Gilbert also turned Middonly to get out
of the way , but instead of doing so re
ceived the anlmal'4 hoofs a posteriori.
He then proceeded to tilck hhmolf up ,
nud the steer started ! oil' to join tlio herd.
UnfoiInnately , neither succeeded. Gil
bert were n co.it with skirts reaching al
most to the ground , and ono of the steer's
hoofs got caught In one of the tails. The
steer tried to got away , and so did Gil-
bci t , not lo s vigorously. The coat was
n brand-now one , though , and held firm.
Tim result was that Gilbert
and the steer cavorted around
the prairie nt a suprising
rate. 1 wns on the ground during the
whole proceeding , but the atl'air was so
ludicrous that 1 couldn't have helped Gil
bert if 1 had Known ho would bo killed.
All things have nn end , however , and so
did this. Tlio steer finally got tlrctj of
fooling , and , with ono desperate ulTbrl ,
split the coat up the back nnd yanked it
half oil'of Gilbert , who , under the circum
stances , was not sorry to see it go. Tlio
incident took all the conceit out of Gil
bert , ilo novel1 bought any more steers ,
nud it was n hmg time before ho could beget
got to yoke one . "
Though Mr. Armour laughed heartily
as he related the story , his regard for Mr.
Gilbert is perhaps deeper than for any
other man. When midway the plains
Mr. Armour was stricken down with a
mountain fever and but for Hm unwearied
attention of his friend would probably
have died. So , at least , Mr. Armour
thinks , and Mr. Gilbert , not having been
.successful either in ulifornia or binco
his return to the btat s , has many times
received aid from the hand of the mil
lionaire , llu is now living on a farm in
Illinois , purchased for him by his bene
factor.
Arriving in California , Mr. Armour ,
having rccoveaed his strength , struck out
vigorously in search of wealth. For sev
eral mouths ho mined , but being always
of a speculative turn , ho abandoned the
shovel and bought and .sold gold dust at
u. handsome profit. Later ho bought a
controlling interest in a ditch built to
supply water to the mines. So aucco = s-
ful were his investments that at tlio end
of three years he returned to the states
with if 15,000 in gold. He remained a few
days with his parents in Now York and
limn retnrncil to the west , locating in
Milwaukee , whore he bought into a
wholesale grocery Him. A year later ho
went into the commission business , in
which ho remained two years. At the
end of that time he became interested
with Mr. 1'lankinton. This was the be
ginning of a career which has placed him ,
ut the ago of Cl , at rho head or the larg-
etit packing firm in the world.
Tno traits which ohtiructcrizcd the mil
lionaire were apparent In the boy. When
a mere child ho galljorejl apples and sold
them in the neighboring ! villages. At 10
he bought a team ainl drove a canal-boat
during a busy seasoii on the Erie canal.
So judiciously did ho use Iho money thus
earned that when he started for Califor
nia at the ago of 10 ho was able to buy
his outfit with but little , assistance from
his father. His schooling was acquired
in a log school-housiS in Madison county
and at Ca/.enovia seminary. As a boy ho
was as fond of fun sis of book , and while
at the seminary ho was suspended for
stealing a girl trom the boarding school
and with her ut tending-u , dancu in the
neighborhood. * " *
