Expectations
By EDUARD K. DROANE
X esteem those boys who are obliged
to flgl:t their own way up iii tbe world
most fortunate aud those brought up
to wealth muet unfortunate.
I came of a family of the middle
class aud from childhood was made to
UDdtTHtuud that I would bave to tight
aiy own way in the world. Hut I wus
given an education, which is consider
ed aud usually is essentia) to nnccess.
At sixteen 1 was about to accept a pu
sltlon In business when aa uncle of I
mine suddenly made a fortune by a
deul in tbe stock market Oe hnd tlie
good sense to invest his pain lu oni
first mortgnge bonds and never aft
word risked a cent In speculation.
My uncle was a bachelor sixty years
old, and my mother was bis favorite
sister. He had always shown u par
tiality for me and proposed to my
mother that he should send me to col
lege and make me his belr, for he
claimed that he had no desire to marry
and If be should marry at bis time of
life be would wish he had not mar
ried. I longed for a college educa
tion nnd for my part was glad to ac
cept my uncle's proposition.
I spent four years at college, my ex
penses being paid by my uncle. In
deed, he gave me an al!ownnce that
enabled me to associate with such of
my fellow students as were not ohllg
ed to enrn their living or n part of It
while getting their education.
When I wns graduated with n fair
stnndlng in my class I was one of
tbe all o round prominent men of it.
I began the study of n profession nt
my uncle's expense nnd had nearly
finished it when I received n telegram
tbut my uncle was very 111. I went to
him at once and nssumed the direction
of his household. His illness was
destined to be a protracted one. nnd.
there being no one but myself to do
anything for him. I assumed charge not
only of his domestic but his other af
fairs. I spent five years ministering to the
old man. living in his house with him j
and devoting myself exclusively to
him. 1 regretted that my professional I
studies had been broken into, but slne
I was heir to o fortune and had what !
money I needed I did not repine. True, j
my uncle was very Irritable and often j
tried my patleuce, but the doctors as
sured me that he could live only a few
years at most, aud then, having means I
at my command. I could make up for i
lost time, for, be U understood, I was
not content to live in Idleness and es i
peWnlly desired a career. i
My uncle lingered longer than had
been expected, aud toward the last I
found the work of amusing him very
trying. I suggested cards, and he was
pleased with the idea. He had been
a poker player in bis time, and by
playing with him for n small stake I
got through many hours that would
otherwise have been a burden. Never
theless playing penny ante with a
broken down old mnn hour after hour
was not to men pleasing way of spend
ing my time, nnd when my uncle pro
posed to raise the stake to ft cents I
aciltsi-ed.
This was a mistake. lie was a nat
ural gambler, and it was a knowledge
of this fact a fear that he would lose
what he hud made in the stock mar
ketthat led him to quit "the street."
Since then his passion for gambling
hid lain dormant. It was now excit
ed anew, lie kept raising the stnke.
anil I did not dare to oppose him
When he got the value of u chip up to
2ii cents I began to be troubled How
ever. 1 hoped that by refusing to win
I might keep out of trouble, for I real
Ized that to win any considerable
amount from him would irritate him.
and In his broken condition 1 feared he
might break with me.
One afternoon when he was more
fretful than usual I got out tbe curds
and the chips. During the sitting thore
occurred one of those marvelous runs
of luck by which players are enabled
to break banks. A jack pot hnd been
growing ou the table for some time
when 1 was dealt three queens and
drew a fourth. 1 would bare bet a
small sum, but siuce the cards must
be shown 1 feared to Irritate my uncle
by appearing to favor blra. A.t the
showdown ho had a full of aces, which
gave mo tbe pot.
From that time the devil seemed to
be In the cords- Whenever I dealt 1
gave myself large hands and Invari
ably gave my uncle bands but a little
below mine. vVhcn 1 hud a straight
flush he would have a full; when I had
three aces he would have three lower
cards. Terrified. I attempted to deal
him a bund larger than mine. lie
caught me In the act
For some time I had seen by bis ex
pression that he suspected I was In
tentionally dealing to myself large
hand and to him hands but little
smaller to draw him on. When he ;
caught me trying to deal him a win-
nor he fell buck ou the pillows behind ;
him and pointed to tbe door. In vain j
I endeavored to explain. He con tin- ,
lied to point to The door, and I left
hoping when be had cooled to renew j
my efforts to disabuse bis mind of his 1
Impression. He sent word for me to ,
leave tho house and never enter It
again.
The next day he changed his will,
leaving his fortune to charities, and a
further result of the episode was his
death a few days Inter.
1 am over thirty years old, have
never earned a cent Id my life and i
don't know bow to begin to do to.
This comes of waltiug for dead men's j
shoes. j

It is but the statement of simple fact to say that the corset buyer
who has the opportunity to buy GOSSARD CORSETS and does not
take full advantage of the splendid offerings for Fall, fails in the duty to
employer and public which that buyer desires to serve.
It should he remembeaed that all mer:bants are not privileged to
buy GOSSARD CORSETS, which further emphasizes the responsi
bility of those entrusted with their distribution. .
Figure imperfections which have developed only recently by wear
ing corsetB of injudicious selection have been accurately anticipated and
provided for with that unerring decision and nicety of execution for
which the Gossard organization is so eminently qualified,
Those who sell GOSSARD CORSETS this coming Fall will be
months in advance of competition. The samples tell the whole story.
