Onida Journal: One of our promi-

buy stock, on his return stopped at a
small town in Iowa, and inquired where
he could get something to eat. Being
told, he repaired to the place designated
and knocked at the door. at which q
lady appeared. He made. known his
wishes, and she set before him some
hard crusts and %scantily clothed bones.
Being very hungry he etc without COM
plant, and then pulled out a wallet to
settle his bill. The lady was very much
surprised and told him she thought he
was q tramp or else she would have
given him something decent. His
friends got onto the joke and have been
very mdch amused at the thought that
a Sully county politician should be mis-
taken for a tramp.

L ~ ~
New York, March 16.-Quiet people out
side OF cities have no idea Of the reckless
crazesf for this or that class of objects which
seize people who have more money than they
know how to spend. This time last year
New York was in the throes of hard times.
Working people were in distress, and rich
people complained that stocks We're worth
nothing, and there was no investment fol-
their money. To DO sure, theie was always
the chance that presents itself of laying W
their treasures in heaven, but somehow rich
people nave never regarded that prospect OF
getting their money book as a good one
and they have never s'caught on" to thai
movement to any extent.
But now times are good again, judging by
the way the wealthy hereabouts are parting
with their money. They, are throwing il
away on objects which to plain, honest people
seem like the veriest trash.
There for instance is that scruffy-looking
mule-nozed, blazed-faced, little 3-year-old filly
Dew Drop. The Dwyer Brothers have just
bought her from Pierre Lorillard for $4,000
She is a racing creature, a running beast.

same color were sold
for from 5000 to $1,000 apiece. One, whose
mate e for $500, had a handle knocked
of and sold for Sc, 1000, making the lost handle
worth So, 100.
The whole art collection, however, is worth
nothing like what the lady paid for it. It is
q monument of nothing SO much. as the
ayarice and dishonesty Of tladesmen- 1t is a
miserable mean sort of excuse for such
people to say if they had not got her money
somebody else would have. The good
woman was fleeced right and left. A Pres
byterian preacher named Conkling is sup
posed to have got about S600,0 C0 out of her.
Among the collection was a vast number of
rare and costly orchids. She paid $500, 600
for them, while they were worth only 10 per
cent. of it.
The whole story is remarkable. Charles
Morgan scrimped md toiled and schemed
and lived like a beggar most of his life to
heap up millions. After his death fate in
grim irony, took the millions and tossed them
on the wind like thistledown. And of them
all it does not appear that one dollar ever
wens for the real good of anybody.

If you would like to know what she did to
make her worth S29, coo, Lere it is in horse
talk:
Dew Drop ran in all ten races last year,
leading off by winning a f~ve-furlong sweep
stakes, at Sheepshead Bay, in June. She was
in turn unplaced for the Surf and Seabright
stakes, second to Charity for the Flatbush,
won the Great Eastern handicap, at three
quarters of a mile, from a field of twenty
one runners, carrying ITO pounds, in 1:162;
was unplaced, with III pounds, to Walter
Fl. for the Adieu stakes, at the same distance,
after which she in turn won the Nursery and
Champagne stakes, both at ~three-quarters of
a mile, at Jerome Park, the former with liz
| pounds, in 1881, and the latter with 122
pounds in the same time. At Baltimore,
Dew Drop in turn toos the Central and
Ecliptic stakes, both at a mile, running the
latter in 1:44I.
Is that satisfactory Dew Drop is, as you
see, of no earthly real use to anybody.
THE MORGAN ART COLLECTION.
Charles Morgan was as grouty and stingy
an old curmudgeon, it is said, as ever pinched
a nickel. His head was a bowlder and his
heart was a flint. He toiled early and late,
schemed and planned to overreach others,
and scrimped and lived in a shabby, low
down sort of way, till he got capital enough
to embark in large enterprises. He embarked,
but still lived in the shabby, scrimpy way.
| Then his wealth mounted into the millions.
He made the largest part of it in the steam
ship business between New York and the
Isthmus of Panama during the gold fever
days. So far as appears he had not a soft
spot or a kindly spot in him unless it was for
his second wife, Mary Jane, who made the
famous art collection.
The old miser's first wife died. His daugh-
ter was put to school at Flushing, N. Y. One
of her lady teachers went home with her on
a visit. The father set eyes on the good
natured spinster and asked her to marry him.
She did SO. 1t seems as il Mary Jane was
allowed during Morgan,s lifetime to spend
more of his money than anybody else ever
had done. He died worth SIS, 600, 900 to 800
0 10000. He lett Mary Jane S., O00, 600 of this
to do what she best pleased with. That was
seven years ago. Thu widow, who had never

head, set about making the most gorgeous arr
collection in America. She spent, as nearly
as can get from the figures at my command,
sS,S0o,0Oo for this purpose. And for this
great, laundering heap of wealth there re-
mains to show chiefly the peachblow vase.

WE would like TO inquire Of the

ate the statehood movement and yielc
subseryiency to the power which has
again dubbed them to the ground. what
their proposed plan Of operation is.
Thew profess to be ardently desirous of
enjoying the benefits of division and
statehood, yet they act and speak as
the open opponents Of division and
statehood act ard speak. What is the
public to understand by this afliliation
with antagonistic forces - this lying
down with the men whose efforts have
contributed TO the defeat of the cher
ished hopes of South Dakota in Con-
gress? Have they any we'll defined
projects for the future? Or do they
propose to submit to the creation of an
undivided state? Will they announce
their plan? Or will they prefer to hide
in the grass and ridicule and belittle
the efforts of Dakotaians whose inter-
est in the cause induces them to take
an unconcealed position i'll behalf Of
what they believe to be- right? If they
have plan it is hardly fair TO keep it
