A LETTER FROM SANTA

the Lit e Ones.

Santa Claus is coming
Every child knows that and
ninety-nine out of every hundred
can tell just exactly how many
days viii elapse before the fat, red
faced, white-whiskered favorite
will reach this city. But his visit
this Christmas viii be more inter-
esting than ever, for he is going to
call upon or at least write to many
hundreds of people whom he never
seemed to know anything about in
years gone by.
Of course he cannot know every
body unless somebody introduces
him to the new arrivals. Folks
come from other cities and make
their homes without letting him
know anything about it, while
other people get on the cable cars
and are SO late reaching home that
Santa comes to the conclusion that
their houses are deserted. What
an awful thing itswould be IF thes
old gentleman missed calling on
or sending a letter to any little boy
or girl IN Washington this Christ
mas Now, 10 prevent any such
dreadful thing as that, Santa has
sent the Washington Star a letter
which be asked to have published

such a letter, but it was not in
rhyme, and the answers came in
by hundreds. Then he, In turn,
answered them all, and came very
near to giving perfect satisfaction.

own appearance or the shah biness of his
surroundings. and found the keeneSt
delight III hard and unremittingslabor
Yet in large public way he was gener-
Gus to the extent of lavishness. During
his lifetime he gave Literally to the i'm
provement of Philadelphia and made
munificent contributions to charities.
One of his notable deeds was the organi-
zation of yellow fever hospital
in the epidemic of 1898, over which he
exercised personal supervision. BY the
provisions uf his will his fortune was
bequeathed to charitable and educa-
tional institutions, $2.0O0.G00 going to
the college for orphans. The peculiar
nature of the man is best eXempllfied by
certain clause in the will which pro-
vided that no minister should hold any
connection with the college, OF even be
admitted as visitor. AS a further Illus
tration of Grard's eccentric and positive
views OH spiritual matters, 1t may be re-
called that when he was in The West
India trade he named his ships after the
most noted free-thinkers.
Of the men of the present day the
most notable millionaire engaged in the
gorgeous and equitable distribution of
his wealth is Baron Hirsch. 1t is some
thing to have an income of S10.000.000 n
year, and il is something to know what
10 do with it. The baron has proved
himself equal to the emergency. In the
first place, he is a maD of education, and
has been accustomed for many years 10
see life and enjoy it in the most attract
i've worldly way. He lives i'll palace,
whether III London, Paris Or Berlin
His houses are sumptuouSly furnished,
and the baron goes in for all the enjoy
nents that can come from the gratifica-
ton of aesthetic tastes. But it is for his
charitable enterprises that his fame has
spread over the world. He likes to
spend money on other people, and in
Paris he maintained large office as
headquarters for his beneiicent
schemes. To attempt to enumerate his
good works would be All almost
endless task. Their moneyed value
runs far up into the millions. To the
people of his own race he has devoted
himself with uDtiring generosity, not
sands. He has established free educa
tioDal institutions in Egypt. Asiatic
! Turkey and in nearly all the European
countries. and wherever there is large
Hebrew population he POUNDS schools
! and trade institutes. What he has done
for the Hebrews of Russia and Poland
has been the theme OF comment for the
past year. and what he proposes to do
further can be well gathered from the
past. In all his good deeds he has the
support OF wife no less charitable and
sympathetic than he, and thousands or
people who have gone to them IN dis
tress can bear witness to the listening
ear and the helping hand. This is a
short story of the Iaudable way in which
some millionaires do good VILE living.

on receipt of telegram steam could be
got up at once. Now, they urged, 1t is
clear that a large, perhaps the largest.
proportion of the annual sum expended
OH the yacht was sheer waste. And
then the statiSticians got on to specu-
late how many worthy families might
have been supported upon this wasted
sum.
a writer in the New York World says
1t is necessary to stop and ask why Jay
Gould should have devoted to the sup:
port OF worthy families any proportion
Of the sums which he had won by
trickery and treachery. Complaints
about the unnecessary 1uXuries Of the
rich have always formed a staple with
hose who were not rich. But COM
plants are useless. Power turns all
heads more or less, and the absence of
resistance develops wilfullneSs, till, as
we often see in the East, it becomes
mOnstrous caprice. Now, there is no
power in modern times which is so like
executive volition as that of the million
aire--of the man with a really great
fortune 10 use outside his usual wants.
He has only to will strongly enough TO
draw his check. and all mankind is
eager to carry out his wishes. Archi
tects, builders, painters, landscape gar
deners, mechanics in hundreds, work
men in tribes, are only too glad
that he has been graciOuSly pleased
to will. They profit by bis whim,
md indirectly the butchers. bakers
and candlesticK makers of these vari-
Gus artists and artisans profit also. A
miser. according topOlitical economists.
is probably doing great deal OF good
by his Investments, while the spend
thrift is damaging himself. But the
spendthrift is the popular character, be-
cause the Immediate and tangible re-
suits of his conduct are apparently ad-
Vautageuus. So any approach towards
the mood of mind of the spendthnlt
even though it be i'll but single di-
rection, rather elevates than degradeS a
millionaire in the popular estimation.
And as the rich man recognizes this he
feels that there is within himself a pO-
tentialitv OF patronage above that even
of a newly elected president, with no
fear of the civil service reform law be-
fore his eyes. Perhaps this natural
love of power, of Swaying and order
ing their fellow men, has been at the
bottom of many eXtravagances OF which
they have been guilty. They will col
lect at great cost something which, when
collected, interests no one but them
selves. They will spend unheard of
sums in periecting an interior which
would lie far more perfect were mnch
less money wasted.
There is said to be noble in Europe
whose daily dinner is served in Spain
as if he were present, though he is alb
sent in Russia or the antipodes. The
servants and their dependents are all
pleased; the men who furnish the sup
plies are pleased; every one who some
how or other gets slice out of the
nObleman's cake is pleased. And who
IS there to complain save the senti-
mentalists? And what business is it of
Ihe senrimentalists, anyway?

pure gold, while his mattresses, gor-
geouS with carpets of cloth of gold,
were stuffed with down from under the
wing of partridge.
Nay. even among private gentleman
of the Roman period there were goodly
feaStS, indeed. EsOpus, an actor, is said
to have paid $1,000 for a single dish,
but what that dish may have been we
are not told. Ptolemy, person only
known to fame as the governor of Syria,
in the time of Pompey, used every day
to have a gOOdly company of five hIn-
dred or thereabOut to sit at his table.
and each of them had a golden cup, ana
each mans cup was changed with every
course. But what was all this to the ex-
travagant hospitality of Phythius of
Bithynla, who feaSted the whole army
of XerXeS one day in a spendid fashion.
That army, it should be remembered,
consisted of l, 100000 men, and to realize
how many that number is you must iso-
late yourself from the world, shut your
eyes hard, and think. Mare Antony had
a pleasant way with him to attract
friends. He once gave $500, 900 to per-
son he wished to conciIiate. Doubtless
he succeeded, but he greatly disgusted
his own steward, Sordid soul. who had
smaller appreciation of the value of a
warm human heart. The sums he speut
in entertaining Cleopatra have never
been estimated. She kept up her end,
too. Once at a banquet given in An
tOny's honor she dissolved pearl in
vinegar and drank it off.
So say the historians. Modern chem
lists find only one difficulty III the feat,
namely, that it is impossiDie. But little
things like that never bother the calm
serenity of the ancient historians.
Vinegar. in their eyes, would do al
most anything. Why. they even as
serted that Hannibal shattered rocks
with it. And the rocks are pointed out
to this day. Probably Cleopatra's pearl
would still be treasured in some mu-
scum, but for obvious reasons.
Antony'S palace in the Palatinc at
Rome must have been very magnili-
cent affair, if it be true that Messala
subsequently bought it for 5000, 900.

Let us now take long leap and come
down to similar fOllieS in more modern
times. There is the famous William
BeckfOrd. author of that story of va
thek" which Byron called the first of
Oriental romances. He expended a
large portion of the wealth he had in
herlted from his father in constructing
fantastic building which he called
Fonthill Abbey 1t was shrOuded in
Oriental mystery. the magnificent
grounds being inclosed in wall twelve
feet high and seven miles long. No less
than 400 men were employed day and
night in its construction. A tower 500
feet high was erected to command a
view of the neighborhood. Owing to
faulty construction it fell. twenty-five
years later. in 1925. The estate was
finally sold for S550,000. and the build
ings demolished. The poet Bowles thus
enthus astically described the abbey
and alluded To the passionate haste with
which 1t haa been erected:
The mighty master waved his hand. and 10!
On the ast0nshed eye the glorious show
Burst like vision.
