for thus they receive what they lack
poetry and ideaism. In the jewelry Of
blends, however gold should predomi-
nate. for this metal will dampen their
yivacity and weaken their fancy.
Or the gems rubies and garnets are
considered the symbols for wisdom and
good common sense. and are, therefore,
fit gifts for blends. Other gems best
suited for light-haired beauties are the
topaz. the turquoise and the sapphire.

Some few years ago young man ac-

ed and lie millionaire.
There have been in recent years sew
eral instances of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Greek have produced
millionaires over night, and bicycle
and patent medicine promoter in Eng
land II AIDE $4,000, 900 in as many weeks,
says Leslie's Weekly. There are sew
eral thousand people who are each
worth 81 600, 900 or more, and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most of
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions of cent. The
street railway kings who are rising to
millions and tens of millions are fully
satisfied with part of one cent of the
nickel they collect, because there are
so many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction
on each pound the Americans buy they
can make a profit all tho way from 20
10 so per cent. The coal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and i'm
proved the product, but its little frac-
ton makes the greatest money-making
enterprise in America. The man who
invented the patent beer stopper is
getting a bigger income than the pres
ident Of the United States. A cheap
headache remedy is allowing its pro-
prietor TO spend 100000 year and still
,ay up another 100000 for rainy day.
The first thing is to get control of some
article Of universal use, and the small
fraction will do the rest.

RICH MEN IN KANSAS. (

Every Town Has one Who IL Meas
ured by "A Local Standard.
There are no rich men in Kansas
towns. The men who own million dol
lars worth of property number less
than half score in the whole state,
saws Atlantic. Those who number half
a million dollars worth of property
might ride together in sleeping car,
with an upper berth or two to spare.
Every town has its rich man, measured
by a local standard, who is frequently
a retired farmer turned banker, but
rot one in five Of these is rated at $780,
1000. Yet each is the autocrat of his
county, if he cares to be. The main
spring that moves the towns daily ma
chinery may be found in the back room
of the bank. There il is decided wheth.
er or not the bonds shall be voted.
There it is often determined whether
there shall be eight or nine months of
school. There the village chronicles are
spread upon the great ledgers every
day. The town banker supplies the
money for every contest. If he is wise,
he watches his little corner ofthe world
as a spider watches from his web. The
great trust which he keeps requires a
knowledge of the details of the game
that men are playing around him. Yet
with all his power, this town banker
would be counted poor man in the
city. Seldom is his annual income as
much as $4,000. But he lives in the best
house in the town. The butcher saves
his best cuts for him, the grocer puts
aside his best vegetables, and the whole
town waits TO do his bidding.

Out of the sum voted by the imperial

horses will be purchased at Halifax. but
the guns and all equipments will be sent
from England. 1t is also stated that
next summer quick-firing battery will

During visit to Massachusetts a

friend to a meeting of an agricul-

session in the town. The invitation

had something to say. Finally the
