L. B. WALKER is undoubtedly the
CrRsus Of Minneapolis. He is Just be-
ginning to realize on his vast possessions,
and in few years will double his great
wealth. While he has property scattered
all over Minneapolis, his chief. investments
are in pine lands, the timber from which he
saws himself. His Hennepin avenue and
Eight street property is worth 1925. 900. A
dozen of millions is about his wealth.

mated. He has a great deal Of it, and is

Harlow is also rich man.
w. D. WAsHBURN has pulled himself
up, in less then ten years, from bankrupt
to eight times millionaire. The surveyor
generalship gave him bis first big lift.
Railroad enterprises helped him out con-
siderably, and milling and lumber added
their mites. 1t was never intimated he
made money as congressman.
II. T. WELLEs owns enough real estate in
Minneapolis to make geod-sized city. He
has maps of his property just as an archi-
tect has drawings of his plans. Welles was
pioneer who knew enough to hold on to
what he got. A bank presidency is good
enough for him.
ELDER STEWART made his money out of
tax titles. primarily, and lending money at
low rates of interest. He never charged
over IL per cent. He has no family, but
will leave his money to be fought over by
distant relatives. An endowment for a
founding hospital would be a good monu-
ment for him to erect.

THE MORNING COCKTAIL.
Types of st. Paul Men W no Take a
Drink Before Breakfast.


There is an unspoken apology in the voice
of the man who calls for drink in the
morning. He never looks the bartender in
the eye. Bold he may be in the afternoon,
and brave as a mother-in-law when the
shades of evening have fallen, but in the
early morning hours there is sneaking air
about the way he calls for cocktail that
inclines the white aproned servitor to be
familiar and to bully him. He doesn't lock
arms with a boon companion and jollily
call for his favorlte beverage with that air
of proprietership in the premises that rings
through his talk in the afternoon. He
doesn't give minute directions as to just the
right amount of lemon and suggestion of
more sugar that characterizes him at night.
He sneaks in, asks meekly for cocktail,
submits to being charged too much for it.
and tries to glide out looking unconscious
all the while. But still every class does
take it's morning drink in spite of warning
footsteps in the sands of the bar that tell
how other good men have gone before. 1t
is peculiarly American custom.

The INVENTION OF SPECTACLEs.-Fewer yer
inventions have conferred greater bless
ing on the human race than that which as
sists impaired vision. 1t is impossible to
say how many there are at the present day
whose lives would be almost valueless were
it no, for the use Of spectacles. Indeed. DR..
johnson rightly expressed his surprise that
such benefactor as the discoverer of spec
tacles should have been regarded with in
difference, and found no worthy biographer
to celebrate his Ingenuity. Unfortunately
however. his name is matter of much un.
certainty and hence, greateful posterity
have been prevented bestowing upon his
memory that honor which it has so richly
merited. And it may be noted that popu-
lar opinion has long ago pronounced in ia.
vor of Spina, a Florentine monk, as the
rightful claimant, although some are in ia.
vor of Roger Bacon. Monsieur Spoon, in
his Researches Curiuses d'Antique,' .
fixes the date of the invention of spectacles
between the years 1850 and 1911, and says
that Alexander de Spina, having seen q
pair made by some other person who was
unwilling to communicate the secret oi
their construction, ordered pair for him
self.and found them so useful that he cheer
fully and promptly made the invention pub
lie. According to an Italian antiquarian
the person to whom Spina was indebted foi
his information was Salvino, who died in
the wear 1918, and he quotes from manu-
script in his possession an epitaph3. which
records the circumstance "Here lies Sal
vino Armotoe d'Armati, of Florence, the
inventor of spectacles. May God pardon
his sins. The year 1875"
