RICH OR POOR

He was a "son Of his father"
Brought up in the lap of luxury. Ed
ucated at a college. Controlled for
tune. Lived a refined and exclusive
life. Wore starched and immaculate
linen. Collars were high Kid gloves
were as common to him as are bare
feet to the youngsters of a country
village. Shoes were made Of shiny
leather and he kept them bright. Trou-
sers were always scrupulously creased
and he wore neat neckwear. Carried a
cane, maybe and smoked cigarettes.
Some superior persons called him a
dude, an untitled nobody, who lived off
the wealth that his father accumulated.
He was society swell, who thought
more about pink teas than about bust
ness. A type of the chaps whom Popu-
lists rave about and denounce as pam
pered creatures of wealth. One of the
'sons Of his daddy" whom the Populist
press revile and ridicule.
Well, what Of him? Nothing much;
only he was one of the first of Ameri-
can soldiers to be killed on Cuban soil.
He was a sergeant Of the Rough Riders,
and falling at his side was an Okla
homa boy, a so-called cowboy" who
in all his life never had as much money
as the dude" spent, maybe, in a sin
gle nights fun. His name was Ham
ilton Fish, Jr., grandson Of the illus
trious Hamilton Fish. who was secre-
tary Of state for Grant and New
York banker. He is dead now. Died
because a Mauser bullet fired by a
Spaniard tore him open. He was only
a millionaire, poor devil And yet there
are demagogues who CAB and splutter
that there is a difference between the
patriotism of the rich and Of the poor,
that the rich are only selfish and cow
ardly.
