OF two boys born in a country town in Iowa one went to Chi cago and became very rich, and the other stayed at heme and when he .was sixty was very poor. The stay at hpme bad heard of th? success of his boyhood friend, and he went up to Chicago to see him one day, thinking to obtain a loan to tide him over the winter. He went to the rich man's office, found hun installed in a magnifi cent suit and was held np by an of fice boy in livery. "Just tell my old friend that Bill, the friend of his boyhood days, Li outside and. wants to talk over old times with him." Presently the visitor was admitted. "Howdy, Bill?" said the millionaire. "I am glad to see you." They talked for a time, and then the visitor remarked, . "I near you are worth millions?" "Yes, I'm pretty rich. And how has the world treated yon?" "Oh, I've had a terrible time. I had a business, but I lost that awhile ago. You see, my wife's father died, and her mother, and then we lost our daughter. Bight on the heels of that my mother died, and soon after my father. It was tough." The millionaire took ont a handker chief and wiped his eyes. "It cer tainly was," he commented. "Yes," continued the visitor, "and that wasn't the worst of it Early the next spring my boy, on whom I had set so many hopes, he died, too, and then, with all that expense. J lost my business paying doctors' bills. Then to close it all up it wasn't six months before my faithful wife died, and 1 was left alone." ^r The millionaire was sobbing by this time. He leaned over and touched, button on his desk, and a big porter came in. "Jim," said the millionaire, "throw this man out. He's breaking' my heart!"-Saturday Evening Best. lt Really Happened.
