Excerpt from The Kite Trust (a Romance of Wealth) A foreshadowing incident of Micky's future oc curred when he was nine years of age. The Demo cratic County Convention was to meet in Utica, and Micky thought it was the occasion for him to make money. It was the first time that any large delegation of men had met in the village since he lived there, and it was the talk among the boys as much as it would be with the young people of New York City, Chicago, or London if two or three hundred thousand strangers were going to assemble with them at one time. Micky had earned sixty cents the month before, and thought he would go into some commercial enterprise for gain; and at last, without consulting any one, he decided on the lemonade business. So, borrowing a crock and ladle, a table and table - cover, and a dozen tumblers, and investing his sixty cents in lemons and sugar, he was up bright and early and ready at the corner of the main street waiting for the convention to meet.
