WEALTH AND MEANNEss.

| tell you that, in nine cases out
of ten, great acquired wealth lifts up
in monumental testimony the means
ness of its possessor.
knew two neighbors, old Cali
fornians, who had about equal fort,
unes. They were both old settlers,
both rich, and both much respected.
In that fearful year, 1852, when the
dying and destitute immigrants liter
ally crawled on hands and knees
over the Sierra trying to reach the
settlements, one of these men drove
all bis cattle up to the mountains,
butchered them, and fed the starv-
ing. He had his Mexicans pack all
the mules with -four, which at that
time cost almost its weight 10 gold,
and push on night and day over the
mountains to meet the strangers
there and feed them, so that they
might have strength to reach his
house, where they could have shell
ter and rest.
The other man, cold and cautious,
saw his opportunity and embraced
it. He sat at home and sold all his
wheat aud mules and meat, and with
the vast opportunities for turning
money to account in that new coun~
try soon became almost prince in
fortune.
But bis generous neighbor died a
beggar in Idaho, where he had gone
TORY to make another fortune. He
literally had not money enough to
buy shroud apd as he died among =
strangers, by the roadside, he was
buried without even 80 much as a
pine board coffin.
| saw his grave there only last
year. Some one had set up rough
granite stone at the head. And
that il all. No pame-not even
letter or a date. Nothing. But that
boulder was fashioned by the hand
of Almighty God, and in the little
seams aud dots and messy scars that
cover it He can read the rubric that
chronicles the secret virtues of this
lone dead man on the snowy moun~
tains OF Idaho
The children of The "prince" are
in Paris. Upheld by his colossal
wealth their lives seem to embrace
the universal world. He ia my
friend. He buys all my books, and
reads every line write. When he
comes to this sketch he will under~
stand it. And he ought to under~
stand, too, that all the respect, adj
miration and love which the new
land once gave these two men gath~
ers around and is buried beneath
that moss grown granite stone and
that know, even with all his show
of splendor, that his heart is as cold
aud as empty as that dead mans

BEES THAT WON'T STING

For the benefit of those who feel
an interest in this kind of industry,
we publish the following from the
Athens Banner:
1.-The Egyptian bees, for which
Mr.. John II, Newton has bought the
State agency, Twill not sting. There
are some bees which cannot sting.
These can, but will not. They may
be handled at pleasure without being
provoked Ioithe stinging point. Mr..
Newton put their forbearance to the
severest test we ever heard of. He
put a lot of them in his mouth, and
they staid there as quietly as if they
had been put in their little bed.
Such mild hammered bees ought to
be very popular, and doubtless they
will be as soon asithey become well
known.
"Mr. Newton bought the State
right from Messrs. Gladstone, Oaks
& Co., of Reidville, N. c., who are
the largest apiarians 10 the South,
and whose business was established
in 1903. These gentlemen claim
that the Egyptian bees are larger,
prettier and make more honey than
the ordinary or the Italian bee. They
gather honey from red clover. The
hive 10 which Mr.. Newton exhibits
them is the finest we ever saw; it
cost Sll5. Persons who are inter
ested in sbee culture should call on
Mr.. Newton and investigate the
merits of these bees"

At Montreal, Canada, Thursday

At Montreal, Canada, Thursday,
a young French Canadian, named
Alexander Narborne, the son of a
farmer, was on trial for having four
years ago shot his brother. The
principal witness against him was
his step-mother. The accused went
, into the witness box and confessed
that he had killed his brother, but
had done 30 under the influence and
by the command of his father, an
old man of IS. The scene in the
court room during this confession is
described as painful in its dramatic
and terrible intensity. The jury
brought in a verdict of guilty, with
recommendation to mercy. The
father and his wife, eighty years old,
were afterwards tried as accessories
and convicted. The Judge sentenc"
ed all three to be hung.

CHEAP !GENERosTY.-Mr. VIM.
H. Vanderbilt gave $4,000 to the
University of North Carolina and
the papers speak of it as "princely
generosity" What is princely does
not appear. 1t is one of the very
few gifts be ever made. He is sup.
posed to be worth over one hundred
million and that week be is said to
have squeezed million and a half
out of Jay Gould. Vanderbilt and
this latter gentleman made ten mill
lions by the telegraphic consolida-
tion. He gives away paItry ten
thousand dollars and ia called prince
ly. For a man Of Vanderbilt's wealth
such small gifts display parsimony.
There's nothing generous about
them.
