Lucky chance turns life around in early errand boy tale
A financier recalls a single lucky event that shaped his career. As a boy earning 83 a week, he chased a street fight over 37 dollars and a receipt, proving ownership to a sworn officer and reclaiming the money. He credits that moment as the sole piece of pure luck guiding his future. Other anecdotes include a California whistling well weather beacon and a judge’s comic charge to a jury, alongside society notes on marriage bonds and a bicycle invention.
