STEALING INV..;-JTIONS.
Tew Men of Genius Keaj> the Benefit of
Tuclr Ingenuity.
Just why invoutivo genius and gullibility should go together it-is hard to
say. Certain it is that inventors are the
most guileless individuals in their dealings -with others on business matters
and fall easy victims to the spiders who
lie in wait for such flies. The list of
clever men who walk today while those
who ride owe their luxury to the other
man's genius aud their own shrewdness
is au interesting oue. Here are a few
cases picked haphazard from the chronicle of inventions that failed to benefit
tho inventor, or, at Iea?t, produced for
him a little of what was his due.
It is not necessary to be very old to
remember when hooks were first put in
men's shoes in place of holes in order to
save time in lacing tho shoe at the top.
This was the brilliant idea of an inventor to whom it should have brought a
fortune. It would havo done so had he
been a shrewd business man. Being
merely au inventor, he hadn't sense
enough to keep his idea to himself until
the patent office padlock had secured it
against thef t. In the innocence of his
nature tho inventor confided the idea to
a friend while crossing the North river
ferryboat, and the friend hardly waited
for the boat to tie up in Jersey City before be excused himself, started back to
New York and weut on a dead rnn for
a patent lawyer in order to have tho
idea secured for his own especial benefit. Another man is known today as the
inventor of tho lace hooks. Ho owns a
splendid house aud is wealthy. The
confiding inventor got nothing.
The inventor of a patent stopper for
beer bottles, something that had long
been wanted by the trade, sold the invention for §10,000 to a man who recognized its money making value. The
purchaser is now worth §5,000,000, all
of which he made from tho patent stopper. Out of the goodness of his heart he
presented the original owner of the
patent with §30,000, so that this man
got §40,000 in all for his §3,000,000
idea. To give some notion of the value
of patent rights on this "bottle stopper
the price came down from §1 to G and 7
cents a gross, and even at this enormous
reduction a good profit can be made.
This last inventor was treated with
princely generosity, however, in comparison with the genius who devised a
pocketbook clasp in the shape of interlocking horns with balls at the end
whicb snapped shut with a single pressure. The idea was afterward applied to
gloves and became very mnch in favor.
The inventor relinquished his prize for
the magnificent reward of a kidney stew
dinner and 50 cents, the latter having
been advanced by the purchaser to pay
the inventor's expense from Newark to
New Yorkv The man who seenred the
idea and patented it after treating the
inventor in the royal manner mentioned
made a big fortune by his shrewdness.
What became of the inventor is not
known.—Exchange.

GREAT  BOON  TO  A SUFFERER.
One Instance In Whicli a Cigarette Proved
a "Blessing;.
"It was just six years ago," remarked
E. H. Hume, an athletic looking Englishman, "that I was with the English
army in upper Burma, and a week before Christmas I found myself taken
down with black diphtheria. There had.
been an epidemic of the disease in the
town, and vicinity, and I, always susceptible to contagious diseases, was one
of the first in the regiment to take it.
Every day I grew worse, tuitil the surgeon finally gave up all hope and told
rae that I could not live 12 hours longer.
My comrades came to bid mc goodby
and a few of my intimate friends, fellows from my own home, staid with mo
to tell the folks how I passed my last
hours on earth.
"My throat had become so swollen
that I was hi great pain and the phlegm,
had collected to such an extent that I
could not speak. Breathing had become
all but impossible.
"I knew that I had. but a short time
to live, and. as a last request asked for a
cigarette. It seemed to be the only thing
on earth that I wanted. The surgeon refused to give me one, but a young Irishman who knew how fond I-was of smoking took one from his pocket, saying
that it would not possibly hurt me, as I
was already dying. He held the cigarette to my lips and I inhaled a lot of
smoke, which I thought would choke
me. Instead of that the smoke poured
out and brought with it the whole mass
of phlegm which for a week the surgeon had tried his best to remove. The
cigarette was the only thing possible
that would have served the purpose. In
four days Iwas on my feet, a well man,
and I have never had a day's sickness
since."—New York Times.

The family circle
is never so happy
after the chain is
Broken and a link
taken. Some family
chains are strong,
others weak. Have
you a good family
history? Or is
there a tendency to coughs,
throat or bronchial troubles,
weak lungs? Has a brother,
sister, parent or near relative
had consumption? Then your
family chain is weak.
Strengthen it. Take SCOTT'S
