Swift Gait of George and His
Scapegrace Brother.

New York. Aus. lk-Ths Journal says:
Xounug George II. Pullman. son Of one
OF the most famous American mIllionaIres
Is the central figure In an intensely in
teresting problem Of human nature.
He is to have an opportunity for chOos-
Ing once and for all between tho bene-
fits Of wealth and social position and the
life Of drnkard-
He is now at White Plains taking the
Kelly cure.
II It cures him and he remains sober
and respectable for a reasonable period
after coming out. he will share in his late
fathers millions as far as It is possible
for his mother to enable him to do so.
II he returns to his old ways again his
mother will not help him with money,
and he will become a Ioafer. relapsing In
to periodical poverty after ne has sypent
his modest allowance for drink.
Dung Pullman will receive q great re-
ward for becoming descent For behav-
ing as well Vas the average clerk who
earns S a week ne will receive the in
come OF millions OF dollars,
What viii he do? Are the powers OF
evil sufficiently strong to make this
young prefer a life OF poverty and dis
grace to one or wealth and responsibility.
A mother Is trying TO save her son from
ruin. But for her, his case would. no
doubt, be hopeless one now. AS he has

dustry and sobriety enforced through this
agency. It IL hoped that he will learn to
love such a life for Its own sake and re-
form permanently. That Is his mothers
prayer. That Is the desired solution OF
the problem ofh uman nature which Is
now beng worked out.
The devout win see inthis case the
devil battling for a young mans soul.
and pray that the evil one will be de-
feated.
is a strange fact that the late George

America, the man whose name has be-
come proverbial all over the country for
self-denial. industry and sobriety. left
twin sons. who have earned an equally
wide reputation for se,f-indulgence idle

Sanger has been conducting himself with
great proprioty for some time. and Is. OF
course. receiving every encouragement
from his mother In his course
The twins have figured a great num-
Der OF sensational episodes. They drove
about the streets Of Chicago in cabs full
OF bottles Of champagne. With drunken
gayety the accosted the haughtiest mill
Ion aires Of Chicago.
For twins so young their matrimonial
experiences have been extensive. George
was gifted by Miss Feiicite Oglesby. and
red Miss Lynne Fernald. who had
been engaged to his brother. Sanger Botl
he and she now threaten to get divorce.
Sanger married Miss Louise West against
the wishes of his family.
