Speaking o$Tohn Jacob Astor, the first, I cannot help realiz:ng the memory of conversations I have heard between him and my father when I was a boy. "People think," said the. old man, "that I have had an easy time of it, but that's a mistake. Mv early life was a hard struefcle, and even ray own brother refused to lend me money." This brother was a butcher named Henry, pretty well off, with a stall in the Bare Market or Bear Market as it got to be afterwards called and writhed under John Jacob's borrow ings. One day, when the latter went to him for $200, Henry said: "John, I'll willingly give you $100 if you will promise me that you will never come to me again to borrow." "I closed with the offer at once and took the money," said Mr. Astor, laughing heartily. I have heard him tell how he got his first start in life. He kept his store in Peck Slip, and there bought furs, almost any that were offered him, until he had a stock packed away that he could not realize on. What to do he did not know, but consulting with his wife, as he al ways did about evocything, the con clusion was that he should go to London and sell them himself. This was carried out and John Jacob carried his furs to London and made a good thing of it. "While there, and wandering over the great city, he came across what was known as the East India House, or Company, and recognized a name as chief of it as one familiar. He sought him and found a schoolmate in his native place in Germany. His schoolmate did not.repudiate him, but tried to do everything he could to make Astor feel that he wanted to serve him, and, among the rest, when he was leaving gave him a permit for a ship to trade in the (Jhiua teas. John Jacob laughed at the gift, but took it and had almost forgotten its possession, when one day something he heard made him go to a merchant named Livermore and propose that he find capital to fit out a ship and use the permit and they should share the result. Livermore, at first re jecting the proposal, afterwards ac cepted it, and the voyage was successfully undertaken, and from it Astor realized $50,000. Then he took the permit and fitted out a vessel himself and laid the founda tion of his enormous forturie. John Jacob never denied that he owed his success in a large measure to the fact that he always consulted with his wife, whom I remember as a clear-headed, practical woman. N. Y. Graphic. A student who had been studying for several years in the medical de partment of the University of Texas, endeavored to pass the examination requisite to his obtaining his di ploma. One of tho professors gave him a hypothetical case, and then asked him: "What would you do in a case of that kind, if the patient got worse?" "I would not do any thing," replied the student; "I would wait until tho next day, and see how he was coming on then". He might improve, you know. I'd give hini a chance." Texas Sittings.

I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Amon? the number were one or two specialists. Tho medlclno they applied was like fire to tha sore, causing Intense pain. I saw a statement In tho papers telling 'what S. S. S. had dona for others similarly afflicted. I procured soma at onco. Before I had used the second bottle the neighbors could notico that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or threo years I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I had a severe pain In my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left mo and I grew stouter than I had been for several yeara. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It Is rapidly disappear ing. I w ould advise every one vlth cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. 21ns. NANCY J.
