Green's famous dog, Dewey. at is mat
ter of extreme difficulty to find Mrs Green
in her home unless one is provided with de-
tailed directions from some personal friend
OF the distinguished woman, and these
friends (of her own preference) are very
few. In order to escape from the host of
beggars who continually annoy her when
they can learn at what place Mrs. Green is
stopping. she is compelled to keep her adj
dress matter OF confidence, and so upon
her door one does not find the words
Mrs. Hetty Green but &C. Dewey l
asked Mrs. Green how she happened to hit
upon his name, and she told me that this
was the name of her daughters little dog
Commodore Dewey'-who was born on
the first day of May last year, just as his
namesake was sending the ships of the
Spaniards to the bottom of Manila bay.
This little terrier simply runs. this whole
household,' Mrs. Green said, with smile
at the object of the conversation, and we
live with him-not be with us. And really
we are spelling the life out of him, for he
is almost too fat to walk now that we allow
him to eat so much
After stating that her own large fortune
was made exclusively in real estate trans
actions, Mrs. Green roasted Wall street in
royal manner: You can not publish the
fact too widely that for woman to 60 into
Wall street is to turn her money into bills,
climb with it to the top of some high build,
ing, and scatter it to the four winds o.
heaven. Indeed, she would derive more
satisfaction from the alternative, as in this
case she would know that she had thrown
away her money of her free will. In Wal
street, on the other haI d, she would lose
her money just as certainly and irredeemablJ
with the added dissatisfaction of discover
ing that she has been deceived. l thinl
the United States should pass law making
it crime to gamble in stocks, just
gambling with cards is constituted crlm'
in several states. There is no dIfferenc
between them. In one case the newcome
CANDLES with card sharks and is cheated
and in the other he CANDLES with stoc
sharks and is cheated too; and if eithe
shark has the general advantage, it is tn
stock shark, as the newcomer is not on hi
guard against him as he is against the car
shark in many cases.
81 believe that rich person is infnitel
happier than poor person. For one res
son. there is always happiness to be foun
in doing good to others; and how muc
. more good to others person with none
can do than person in Strengthened eli
. cumstances seems to be really too obvior
!. to mention. For another reason, to b
l. happy maa or woman must have goo
II health, good things to eat, pie, ty Of sleeI
u clothing that is clean and fresh, leisure I
Is read and talk with agreeable people, an
y opportunities to travel somewhat and t
take vacations. These things being tru'
u has not the wealthy person better ch,nc
q for good health when he can call in Il
y services OF as many and as good physician
II whenever he wishesp Has he not bett,
chance for good food when he has all Il
y money he wishes to buy whatever he want
: Has he not better chance for sleep whe
J he can go 10 bed when he chooses, and
not compelled to lie awake worrying abol
THAT rent which IS due next week, and {
meet which he sees no chance of eettin
the money in time, or to worry about TIL
increase in his salary he needs and can nj
lgetP Has he not better chance to g
the right sort and amount of clothing fo
his family, better chance to read, trav'
and recreate generally, when he is not CON
PEELED to grind away his time making barel
enough money to pull him through TheI
are exceptions to all rules, you know, b.
you may engrave it indelibly upon yor
mind as an absolute fact that 95 times OF
OF every 100 the wealthy men are irfnitel
happier than the people who do not kno
what the possession of q fortune feels like
Mrs. Green also has great deal TO IS
about the woman in business. This is b.
J opinion on that subject.
"a woman has every bit as much chant
to make herself wealthy as a man has.
