There i< a wonderful little story
of the life of Judge Anthony Dono-
van, of Msdison, Wisconaio, related
in the North Carolina Library Bul-
letin for March. It tails of how the
blacksmith married at nineteen,rais-
ed and gave college training to a
large family, accumulated a large
library, and by meani of it educated
himself and became a noted judge.
I He says "! always kept sever-
al books in my shop, and read them

| Bis first purchase was the Bible, for
which be paid 20 cents twice a
month for four years : next came
Shakespeare's works, then Web-
ster's Dictionary, then the autobio-
graphy of Franklin, which he said
"taught me eccncmy and practical
wisdom." By saving the ten cents
a day he had formerly spent for to-
bacco, be bought the Encyclopeeia
Britannica, in 29 volumes, one at a
time, costing $174.
"This plan seemed to be working
so well, that I thought I could start
another fnnd, and I said to myself;
it I were a drinking man, I must'
spend at least fifteen cents per day
for my drink. So I opened another
account which I called my 'drink
account' and laid a.wiy 15 cents a
day for buying books."
"And," he adds, -were I to pray
tor a taste which would stand by me
under every varie'y of (ircumstan-

cheerfulness to me during life and a

Inquired a voice at his side.
The youth turned to llnd himself
looking into the eyes uf a man of about
rtfty years. He wa neatly dres ed. a
Haniond pin glittered In his cravat,
and he had all the aapeet of a wall-
to-do man of the world.
"Now if I were to hasard a guess."
said the stranger, ' ! shoutd say that
your girl had gone back on you."
"And I've lost my position and hava
had nothing but III luck since I came
to the city," said Harold.
"And so you're meditating the ftnal
plunge Into the stream of Lethe, eh?"
continued the other "A awlft and
rapid oblivion. But suppose, young
man. that death doea not bring ob-
livion ?"
Harolt had not thought of that. He
had thought of nothing but hit own
miserable situation.
"You have youth and haaltb." con-
tinued tbe other. "And you are not
penniless, surely?"
*1 have five dollars in the world."
said the young man, with a hard
laugh
"Then what more can you want?"
the other inquired "You think you
are ho badly off Now look at rue. I
urn ii -tirly a millionaire. I have, in
fact, ciot-e on nine hundred thousand
dollars Yet 1 am worse 'iff than you."
"How sir?" asked the other.
"Iteeause my doctor has given me
six months to live unless I drop ev-
erything! and ko West. To ko West

means tin- Inability i etay and defend
a lawsuit which will ruin my reputa-

the final plunge."
"I wouldn't mind chanRing places

thoughtfully
The other laughed mirthlessly "I'll
tell you what we'll do." he said. "1
have- well, never mind how much
money on me. It Is enough to en-
able you to live for a year. Qlve
me your Ave dollars and I will give you
what 1 have. Give me your name and
take mine—It Is a common one and no-
body will look twice at you on ao
count of it. Give me the Inspiration
of youth and Bve dollars tn my pockeL
and take the lassitude and disappoint-
ment of age and comparative afflu-
ence."
"I'll do It." cried the other.
"In a year's time you will meet me
here again." the elder man continued,
after they had effected the exchange,
and Harold, with a bulging pocket-
book, waa beginning to think mora
hopefully of life "Meet me here then
and let us see how we have fared. Ah.
It Is the early struggle that gives one
Inspiration to succeed." He turned
away.
"Promise to meet me here at the
end of a year?" the elder man re-
sumed. wheeling round upon Harold.
"I promise." said tbe young fellow.
"And your name?"
"John Graham "
"Mine ts Harold I^anark "
They shook hands warmly and the
elder man departed, leaving Harold
upon the pier KaziriK at the dark wa-
ters in rapt astonishment.
He went home, walking a mil* and

he occupied in a rooming house He

The second envelope was addressed
In a handwriting which sent the blood
to the young man s head.
"Harold, deareat." ran the letter,,
"won't you fnrglve me for my unklnd-
ness and hardness of heart? 1 love
you. Harold, whatever happens, and I
don't care whether you are rich or

"And as for those red trip boots

looked at them the other day and I'm
not surprised that dad ran away from
the farm when he was big enough.

not make shoes strong enough for me
to wear. There's plenty of leather
around.
