Two Stories of the Futures of Two People—
A Girl Worried About Hers; a Man Did Not
By BILLY ROSE
Here are two stories, both true. The first is as mean as a thumb
in the eye; the second, as heartening as a sunrise. . ..
The mean one is about a Philadelphia industrialist who, on one of his
frequent business trips to New York, made the acquaintance of a young
lady whose good looks were only surpassed by her amiability. Despite the
fact that he was married, the tycoon began to see a lot of the girl, and it
wasn't long before he had set her up in a Madison avenue apartment and
was forking over $300 a week to cover expenses.
After a couple of cozy and clan-
Billy Rose
destine years, the girl said to him
one night, “If
something ever
happens to you.
Daddy, I’ll be
left without a pen
ny. Don’t you
think you ought
to do something
about securing
my future?”
“You’re a b s o-
lutely right,” said
the industrialist.
“Give ne a few days to work It
out.”
The next time he called on the
girl, he handed her half a million
dollars worth of 3 per cent railroad
bonds.
“These will yield you an income
of 15 thousand a year,” he said.
“Every three months as the cou
pons come due, clip them and I’ll
cash them in for you, and you can
use the money for expenses..
"You’ll notice l haven’t put
your name on the bonds. Well,
that’s because the transfer of so
large a sum would come to the
attention of the board of direc
tors and cause a lot of talk. How
ever, if anything happens to me,
you can write your name in and
sell the whole lot at any broker
age house.”
The girl thanked him, and the
pair continued seeing each other
until the tycoon keeled over In his
Philadelphia office a couple of
years later with an attack of coro
nary thrombosis. When his lady
friend read the obituary in the pa
pers, she wrote her name on the
bonds and took them to the broker
age house.
The broker examined the certifi
cates. “You’re a little late. Miss,”
he said. “This railroad went out of
existence almost 30 years ago.”
The girl picked up the worthless
paper and walked out. “The dirty
double-crosser,” she muttered. “All
he gave me was the same three
hundred a week.”
AND NOW let me take the thumb
out of your eye and show you tbe
sunrise.
Some years ago, an Iowa garage-
man went bankrupt and decided to
make a freah start in another state.

the cost of getting it fixed cleaned

“Don’t you heed the job your

“I’ve saved enough to last me

THE
FICTION
CORNER
JACKIE'S BEST WORLD
By Richard H. Wilkinson
■pHE DAY BEFORE Darling’s
^ three-ring circus, largest to ev
er visit New England, came to
Dexter, Silas Ledbetter called his
12-year-old son in from the bam
and said:
“Look here,
Jackie, you’ve
been a pretty
good boy this
summer. Guess
you deserve bein’ on hand with the
other boys at that circus when it
gets here tomorrow.”
The Ledbetters were poor as
church mice, and Jackie hadn’t
dared even let himself think his
pop would let him attend the cir
cus. Consequently, his round blue
eyes grew even rounder.
Old Silas grinned and swal
lowed a lump in his throat. He
dug down into his pocket and
brought out a shiny, new sil
ver half-dollar.
Jackie carefully placed the half-
dollar in a pocket of his tattered
overalls, pulled his straw hat well
over his ruddy face, puckered up
his lips and began to whistle. He
whistled all that afternoon and
was still whistling when he came
in from the lower lot for supper.
Once upstairs, Jackie carefully
took off his shirt and then felt in
the pocket of his overalls for the
half dollar. He’d better sleep with
it under his pillow, he reasoned,
like he’d read about folks doing.
It was right then that Jackie’s
heart sank, right then that the
world turned black and there was
a horrible, terrifying, empty feel
ing in the pit of his stomach. The
half dollar was gone!
Jackie wanted to cry, but he
was too much of a man for that.
He searched through the other
pocket very carefully, and then
looked in his shoes, and under the
Jackie carefully placed the
half-dollar in a pocket of his
tattered overalls.
bed and about everywhere that the
half dollar might have been. But
it was gone, completely vanished.
And so Jackie, his heart ach
ing with misery, crawled into
bed. And then — he couldn’t
help it—he cried. But all the
time he kept telling himselft he
was a man now and he’d better
stop crying before mom came
up to tuck him in and kiss
him good night.
If mom found him crying she’d
feel bad and probably cry, too. And
Jackie\didn’t want that to happen.
TJE COULDN’T, he decided, ev-
en let mom know that he had
lost the half dollar. Or pop either.
That wouldn’t be fair. He’d just go
off by himself tomorrow afternoon
and make them think he was at
the circus all the time. He wouldn’t
want them to know for anything.
There wasn’t any one in the world
had a better pop and mom than he.
Jackie fought to keep back the
tears. He didn’t wait long after
breakfast and set out with his
pitchfork over £is shoulder and a
whistle on his lips.
Once out of sight of the house,
the whistle died. The ache and
misery in his heart just wouldn’t
let it go on. Still, he was going to
see the parade anyway, and pop
and mom would think he was go
ing to the circus. It was comfort
ing to know that pop and mom
were happy.
Jackie reached the lower lot
and began to shake oat the hay
as pop had asked him to do.
He couldn’t loaf on the job, he
told himself, because if he did
pop wouldn’t think him very
grateful for the half-dollar.
Jackie turned the hay in one
windrow and started on the next.
But all the while his heart fairly
sobbed with misery. And then ab
ruptly that same heart almost
ceased to beat. Jackie stared and
stared at something round and
shiny that lay in the stubbles un
der the forkful of hay he’d just
picked up. After a long time, it
seemed, his heart began to thump
again. He felt goose pimples
breaking out all over his body. He
wanted to cry and shout" and do all
sorts of things.
And then Jackie remembered
that he’d been working here on the
afternoon before, and the half-dol
lar must have slipped out of his
pocket. He picked up the coin,
squeezed it lovingly and, holding
it tightly in his clenched fist, went
to shaking out the hay again. The
best mom and the best pop in the
world, he told himself joyfully.

A PICTURE may or may not bi

Chinese proverb claims, but it cer
tainly represents a pretty penny ii
costs, time, space and judgment,
if published in a newspaper. In addi

fort, time and money expended ii

Editors appreciate the interest
shown when readers suggest pub
lication of pictures, and they com
ply as often as possible. But pub
lishing a picture in a newspaper ia
not as easy as it may seem.

fies them as news and means they
should be selected for their news
value. Unless a photograph is oi
someone or some event currently
in the news, publication has little
or no meaning.
Assuming that a picture has news
value, it then must be of such qual
ity it will reproduce well in the
paper. Many photographs which are
entirely satisfactory^-for an album
cannot be reproduced distinctly
enough to be recognizable in a news
paper. Publishing such pictures is
a disappointing waste of space, ef
fort and money.
There are other factors, too, such
as permission of those in the pic
ture for its publication, its news
value or the amount of interest in
it among the paper’s readers, and
whether there is time to make a cut.

Even if timely but received too late
to get a cut made, it may not be
practical to use it in a later issue
because reader interest will have
waned by then.
For these and many other rea
sons, the editor is always the best
judge of whether or not a picture
can be or should be published.
If the paper publishes other pic
tures, some not local in origin, in
the very issue for which your’s was

that in addition to the above fac

that some pictures, always of news

Rifle Search On
A nationwide search for 124 rare
old rifles of the 1870’s has just been
sparked by The American rifleman,
official publication of the National
Rifle Association.
The 124 guns are the only ones
ever made of the little known “One
of One Thousand” variety of the
Model 73 lever action repeating rifle
which Western pioneers said could
be loaded on Sunday and fired all
week.
In its current issue The American
Rifleman describes in detail for the
first time this high accuracy rifle
about which few of the country’s
leading gun experts even know
about. The magazine asks gun lov
ers and collectors who own lever
action rifles to examine them care
fully for the words “One of One
Thousand” engraved on the top of
the barrel just ahead of the re
ceiver. Owners of these rifles have
been asked to notify the magazine,
giving the serial number of the rifle
and any historical facts about it
they may know.
The year 1950 is the seventy-fifth
anniversary of the introduction of
the “One of One Thousand” which
was made by Winchester from the
years 1875 through 1879. How many
of these rifles are still in existence
is not known.. The “One of One
Thousand” is a variety of the fa
mous model 73 “the gun that won
the West” of which the New Haven
company made 720,010 from 1873 un
til 1924 when the model was discon
tinued. It was the second rifle to
bear the name of Oliver JV Win
chester, pioneer firearms manufac
turer.
. In announcing the “One of One
Thousand,” the company described
it as follows:
“The barrel of every sporting rifle
we make will be proved and shot at
a target, and the target will be
-numbered to correspond with the
barrel and be attached to it.
“All of those barrels that are
found to make targets of extra
merit will be made up into guns
with set-triggers and extra finish
and marked as a designating name
’One of One Thousand’ and sold at
$100.00.”
One of the few known rifles of this
variety was loaned by New Haven
firearms manufacturer-for use in
the motion picture “Winchester 73,”
in which it plays the leading role
with such stars as Jimmy Stewart
and Shelly Winters appearing in
“supporting” parts.
