The Only Asset.

In the office of Frank McKee in the Savoy theater, New York, hangs a photograph of the Agoust family, a troupe of jugglers whom the manager brought to this country as a venture. The picture is framed deeply in black and bears this inscription, “Value —$20,000.” . “Nonsense,” remarked a friend of McKee the other day as his eyes rested on the sign. “That photograph isn’t worth a dollar.” “That’s all you know,” answered McKee. “That picture’s all I have to show for my investment.”—New York Times.
