NORTH ONCE WAS "NEhR."
Nitrate King" "a Wholesale Buyer Of Pic
tures-Mean to Architects

Colonel North buying pictures Tor his
new house was remarkable sight, said
| an Englishman living in New York. Il
saw him in the Italian exhibition in South
kelsington some years ago. His mag
nflcent palace ut Ethan was then being
built. and as one of the features OF the
house was To be an immense glass rooted
picture gallery, and as the colonel had no
pictures to put into it, he was at the show
buying paintings by modern Italian ar
fists.
The nitrate millionaire knew as little
about pictures as he did about metaphys-
les, and rs lie was self willed and did not
desire advice, the selections he made were
wonderful indeed. He bought his art lit
orally by the yard Some of the largest
paintings ever exhibited in London-most-
ly CORY representations of battles-hunR in
this gallery, and the colonel picked out all
the largest. Later he grew wiser and con-
descended to take advice, but the Italian
blood and thunder paintings are still to
be seen at Eitain, side by side with ex-
quisite old masters and quiet landscapes Of
the Barlizon school.
The only time Colonel North ever was
known to be stingy was in regard to this
same palace of his. He gave the architect
carte blanche, only STIMULATING that he was
to have the most magnificent house money
could buy. One day he asked about how
much the cost would be, and the architect
(who was, by the way, the president of the
English Architectural society and man
celebrated for his integrity named of
hand sum which, as IL turned out, was
greatly exceeded by the real cost of this
building. The colonel had what he wish
ed, the most gorgeous modern house in
England, but when the bill for the srchi.
tects services came in he refused to nav
it, He was sued for the money. and judg
mont was awarded against him. Even
then his obstinacy held out, and he asked
for stay of execution, telling a palpable
untruth by saying he had not the money
i'll hand. The judge was severe with him
and ordered that the money be paid i'm
mediately. This is about the only time he
Is known to have shown any meanness
about money, and the incident was the
more remarkable as the architects work
was acknowledged by every one to have
been one of the most successful specimens

EXPENSIVE CHEESE,
The Circumstances That Made the Lin
burger Cost &I5 a Pound.

Beyond having the floor swept occasion
ally the office of a South Water street firm
had not been cleaned for years. The walls
| and woodwork We're of a uniform dingy
shade, and it was almost impossible To SEQ
out of the windows. Every few months
the bookkeerer would throw out a hint
about it, but the boss obstinately refused
to sanction the necessary expenditure
One day the bookkceper told his troubles
to his friend Beerup, and that astute Ger
man at once suggested n plan for relief
which the sufferer proceeded promptly to
put into execution. Two days later the
old man came into the office on n brisk
trot, but he stopped abruptly when near
his own desk and shifted the air suspi-
ciouSly.

In here" he asked
The bookkeeper also shifted and admit
ted 1t was pretty bad, but offered no sug.
gestlon beyond remarking that it had been
getting worse for several months. After
two days more, customers who came into
the place would suddenly remember some
thlng they had forgotten and would 60
out and not come back. The next day the
old man capituated and told the Office boy
to telephone a certain firm to send n man
over.
The man came, and the boss made a con-
tract with him to clean the office and WIN
dows and freshly paint everything for the
sum of $50. They finished the Job the
next evening, and before the old mans
desk was moved back to its accustomed
place the bookkeeper reached up into tho
space behind one of the drawers and pulled
out two pound chunk of the most fra
grant limburger cheese that ever broke into
the town.
He threw it as far away as he could, but
he said to Beerup that night it was sinful
extravaganza to do it, as that cheese had
