Story of a Greek Aliser.

Here is story of Greek miser told
by the Roumanian papers. A Greek
died in the small town of Caracal, hav.
ing always lived on the aims of his
compatriots. Before dying he made his
wife swear that she would bury him in
the dirty old overcoat he wore every
day. The poor woman had TO ask the
Greeks of Caracal to help her to pro-
vide the costs of the funeral. A good.
hearted Greek went to see her in her
affection, and pointing to the body,
said he would give her better coat to
bury the man in. Then she told him
of the dead mans last wish. The
Greek, whose suspicious were awak.
ened, told her that she should certain
ly not part with the body until she had
well examined the coat, for there must
be some particular reason for the re.
quest The widow unpicked the lining
of the overcoat and found thirty-five
thousand francs in bank notes, which
the miser wished to take to the grave
with him.-Tid-Bits.

Ahos0 WIN Do NoI WORK MUST Live Upon
the Fruits of Others Toll.
One hundred thousand Americans
visit Europe every year at an average
cost of 81, 900 each--Gov. Ames, ofMas-
sachusetts, in indianapolis Sentinel.
In other words 10O,O wealthy Amer
leans spend every year 500, 900, 900 of
somebody's earnings at the hotels and
watering places of Europe. Who
earned this money? 1t had to be earned

gaudy butterflies that spend it? Evil
IDENTIFY not; one who earns the money
they spend will not be so reckless with
it as to spend $1,000 in from six to
twelve weeks, the average length of
time spent by wealthy Americans on
European trip. There can be but one
answer to the above question-it was
earned by laborers. The coal miner who
takes his life in his hand and goes into
the mines for sum hardly enough to
enable him to support his family in a
comfortless shanty he does not own,
many times thankful to get work at
all, earns some of the S1OO,OOO,OOO. The
carpenters and masons and skilled la
borers and bod carriers, the builders of
the massive piles they do not own,
everywhere to be seen in every large
city, each and all earn some of it. The
grain and stock raisers of the entire
country are unwilling contributors to
this monstrous fund that is more than
wasted / say unwilling contributors
because it is only by extortion that this
money is wrung from them. High
freightrates, usury and combines are the
instruments used to make the trans
fer of the earnings of labor to the peck
cts of the rich. High freight rates pay
dividends upon fictitious stock, issued
by few manipulators to themselves,
stock that ought not to exist and that
never ought to draw dollar from the
earnings of labor. Usury upon money,
thing used simply for convenience in
making exchanges; high usury because

put the prices of everything labor buys
up and combines to uteverything that
