Edward II. Green was one of these.
Endowed with some money and adding to
it by his own efforts, he sailed IN his
young manhood, for what was then,a re-
mote corner Of the earth-the Philippines.
Today the Philippines are still at the anti
podes, but they are not nearly so far
away. You can go to Manila now in a
month. Then it took Edward Green three
times as long, for he went III a sailing
vessel and the journey was fraught with
danger.
He went to make a fortune at Manila,
for he knew III a business way of the
great chance there was to deal IN hemp
and rope, in Manila flax and paper, and
all the products of that wonderful plant,
the musa t~eXtilis, the plant which is so
closely allied to the banana, which
grows in a wild state in the Philippines.
They HAD never succeeded in getting the
pure Manila rope from any other place
and young Green understood this and
wanted to take commercial advantage Of
it. He also dealt in other commodities of
the Philippines.
1t did not take him long to make his
million. A man can make a million
quickly in this world; at the time it seems
slow to him, but when he looks back upon
it. at the age of sixty years, he feels that
he made it very fast: Young Green, a
little older and a little grave came back
to Vermont with his pile. His exact age
at this time it is impossible TO tell for
family reasons which will soon be evil
dent. Soon after his return he discovered
that he was in o with pretty, sensi-
BILE Hetty Robinson, the daughter of a
Bellows Falls millionaire, and like any
man in lovA he wanted to get married.
But here the trouble came. Her folks
were violently opposed to the match. Miss
Robinson was the only daughter; gay
generous and the type of the good New
England woman. edward Green was
twice her age, a man of the world, worn
out with fortune seeking, n ready 10
settle down in life. The Robinsons felt
that it would be an uneven match anu

STAR ACCIDENTS.

Every once in a while a star goes out.
It loses its light or is struck amidships
by another planet and knocked into
smithereens. Our sun will go out one of
these fine days, but don worry; it won't
go out for a while yet.
There was a brilliant star called Catul-
lus which entirely vanished not a great
while ago, and a good long time since
there was another of the Pleiades, a con-
stellation that most people know pretty
we'll. There used to be seven Pleidas, but
now there are only six.
Planets are not given to disappearing in
this way, and when a planet is estab-
lished it keeps a pretty firm hold on it.
self, and does not give up it's place very
readily.

Forty years ago there came out of
the little village of Bellows Falls, VT. a
young man who was destined to become
famous in several ways.
Like the prince in the fairy tale who
died famous without ever knowing It,
Edward H. Green has won a reputa-
ton along lines of which neither he
nor the world knew anything.
Paradoxical as this ma seem it is a
fact that Edward H. Green might make
a name for himself upon any one OF the
many things which have come to him
by fate, or which he Won by fortune.
He is the husband of Hetty Green.
who is the richest woman in the world.
He is extremely good friends with a
wife with whom he does not live because
she is so wealthy.
He was the first man to make Il for
tune in the Philippine Islands. He in
troduced into the United States certain
varieties of Manila hemp. rope, and pa
per, which have become very Valuable
in the commercial world.
Though the husband of the richest wo-
man in the world he lives on 4 few nun
bred a year.
AS the husband of Hetty Green, Ed
ward r.. Green has achieved more motor
iety than will come to the husband OF
Wilhelnina of Holland.
Bv notoriety is meant a certain amount
of fame both enviable and unenViable;
for at times Mr.. Green has found the TACT
of his relationship so unpleasant that ne
has bribed the attendants of the hotel
at which he lived to keep out interview
ers and turn visitors away.
AS he maker of a million in a strange
land he name of Edward H. Green was
so we'll known twenty years ago on wall
street tina millionaires and banker were
proud to receive a letter in one of his
business envelopes; and the greatest of
them was willing to take off his hat to
the tall, well-built self-made man of NIL
lions. But riches fed and as they van
ished Edward H. Green lost his family
with them.
All New Englanders are wealthy. Born
upon a hard soil into which they must
dig deep for the slender rewards that
come forth, they learn to pinch and to
save Soon they ave a comfortable thou
sane where the young man who is born
upon more generous soil has not a dollar.

lutely accurate, but it is near enough.
For instance, a man aged 20 might, by
this rule, expect to live 40 years longer,
which is just h the latest actuarial
tables give. At 40 the expectation of life
works out at nearly ~ years, While the
tables give it over 25 years. At 60 the
ABOVE rule allows just yer 10 years, and
the tables show a little less.

A QUIET WEDDING.

There was a quiet we'd
ding in Our town Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Claude l..
Coger and Miss Minnie O.
Wilson were the contracting
parties. The ceremony that
made the happy couple man
and wife was performed at

Rock, the brides brother.
Only a few of the immediate
friends and relatives of the
family witnessed the mar
riage.
Mr.. Coger is an excellent
young man, son of M. B..
Coger, one of our Oldest and
best citizens. He is at pres
ant owner and publisher of
the SHARP COUNTY RECORD,
one of the oldest journals in
the state, and he, we believe,
is the youngest editor ir the

with his associates and the
state press.
Mrs. Coger is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. 6. J. Wilson
of this city, and is a young
lady of manv charms and &C.
complishments. and the young

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.

Col. Henry L. Merric, the
brilliant paragrapher of the
Washington Post, has just
concluded a successful pill
grimage to Joel Chandler
Harris at Atlanta. Very
few people are aware of The
fact that Mr.. Harris is the
wealthiest newspaper nan
in the United States, a n d
that he is as d e vout and
charitable as he is wealthy.
But he has one fad, and that
is the raising OF Jersey cows,
and he raises them by the
hundreds on his magnificent
stock farms near Atlanta.
In order, however, to ease
his conscience he makes a
practice of donating Jerseys
to struggling churches that
they may be sold or ratified
off to satisfy the most urgent
needs of each particular con-
gregation. Col Merrick is q
deacon in a small church ir
the suberbs of Washington,
and so eloquent was the pict'
ure of distress he drew that
the newspaper philanthro
pist presen,ed him two COW,
with which the deacon re
turned to Washington in tri
umph. One cow will be
raffled off to get an organ fol
church, and the other to ge,
new hymn books, which are
badly needed, Most person;
had thought Of Mr.. Harris
merely as a newspaper mar
and author. This little Incl,
dent presents him in a new
and most pleasing light. -
