No one will ever know exactly how much gold was taken from the Klon- dike fields the past season. Since the English government imposed a royalty, the miners have adopted all sorts of ruses to eyade the law. It is rather difficult to dodge taxes, but it is more difficult 10 dodge a bad cold and the grip at this time of year. When the system is weakened by such attacks, and the blood becomes thin and i'm poverished, the best medicine 10 take is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds up it overcomes con stIpation. It is good for the kidneys and liver, too, stimulating these organs into the proper performance of their functions. Nothing is so good for malaria.

The appeal of Wou!d- Be Con
gresham Roberts to the An.sricsr
people has been answered by the
people of Utah, through a numbe,
81 prominent gentiles, who show
that Roberts is ineligible because
he is under Indictment for felon-
i.'us onsnses in tsso ooorts Of Utah.
The reply also shows that it Is
not on asronnt of his religion that
Roberts is opposed, for other Utah
e5Sgress:nen have been Mormons
but not polygamists and we're an
molested. Mr. Roberts need not
appeal to the american people as r
man who IS presented for his re-
iigion. ae cannot pose as martyr,
FOR he is opposed simply aud pure
" because he is a poIygala;st. In
any other state bit Utah, he would
now be wearing felon's strip s
for bigan1y. The practice Of poIyg-
amy is simply h orrent to the
American people. Had Roberts
gone to Washington With fftyI
wives, he would have been hooted
at, aud none would have consider
ed hlm even as possibility, yet to
have three or four wives is inst as
bad in principle as to have ffty. |
And according to the Mormon
standpoint, to possess half hun

are, by this time, accustomed to the
sight of the RockefellerS, father and
son: for each morning arm in arm they
walk down town. Often they go on foot

by squares, which is computed at five
miles. They walk with a long swing

When John D. Rockefeller, the elder,
started out to do life he had no golden
penny in his hand. He grew to be a
capable bookkeeper and an honest one;
and Mrs Rockefeller belonged to the
highly cultured, very intelligent re-
fined and pretty army of school teach
ers. Both knew many educated peo-
pie in those early days in the West,
but they had not much money.
Then came the oil opportunity. Oil
was struck" on little property in
which Mr.. Rockefeller had an interest
and while the others sold he held on
with that logged persistence which has
characterized him ever since, with the
same pertinacity which has descended
to the son and marks him as a man of
determination and character.
The story of the Rockefeller rise is
one that reads like a fairy tale. They
say that in future these rises to for
tune in a decade will be impossible.
But, when that story is told, just think
of Barney Barnato-or of Cecil Rhodes
to select a man of the present, and of
others of this day and generation who
have made their money quickly by luck
and judgment. Money chances, Mr..
Rockefeller declares, will also be with
in the range of possibility for the for

THE NEW MAN
OF WALL STREET.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is Church
Worker, Brilliant Addition to
the Money World.

While all the talk about matrimony
and millions is going on, there lives in
New ork a young man who could, as
the 11ppant expression is, buy and
SELF the others, yet whose thoughts are
far from the general trend of a rich
young mans mind.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., one of the
richest people in the world, is living
out his daily life in New York City so
quietly that few ever hear of him. The
world of society sees him not at all, if
one accepts that curious circle of very
learned persons with whom the Rookie
fellers have always identified them
selves. OF matrimOny John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., thinks nothing, or if he has
thoughts toward fireside of his own,
he breathes them not TO his friends.
A great fiutter was produced in Wall
Street the other day by the semi off
cial announcement that young Rookie
Teller had gone into leather and the sud
den rise of that commodity +hree weeks
ago was at once traced to the young
mans door. He came out at the end
of the day many times richer, and Wall
Street gOssipped again. Would his
career be a meteOric one, similar to that
of young Letter; or would he work
slowly but surely and steadily, grad
uaIly developing into another Sage, one
who could succeed the Old Man of Wall
Street?

CHRISTMAS
STYLES FOR MEN.
The Newest in Vests and Suitings as
Seen in London and New York
During the Early Winter.

Winter fashions fulfill the promise
of fall, which was that bright colors
should enliven the sOmbreness of the
winter attire which custom has given
the we'll dressed man. Never in the
history of mems fashions, since the
days of knee breaches and powdered
wigs, have men dressed with as much
cheerfulness as this season. Bright
ties are worn all day, changing to
cream and white at night. Gloves of
brilliant nues, all the way from light
grey to the brightest red, are seen, and
in vests the art OF the designer is al
lowed to run riot.
The vest is an indication of the well
dressed man. Few vests are worn to
match the coat. The stamped velvet
is sought for colder days; the Persian
silk cloths are used for everyday wear;
and for evening there is the vest of
white pique which will be worn all
winter. The white satin vest figured
with feur de lis is shown, and many
another design; and then there is the
vast army OF stripes and checks in
cloth which are sold at such reason
able prices that all can buy.
Vests can not wear out, but they can
soil They can also be cleaned SO that
it is economy, in the long run, to buy
as many vests as you want, wearing
one until it grows familiar, then laying
it aside in favor of a newer one.
So great has this fancy for the odd
vest grown in New York that the best
tailOrs are making suits consisting of
coat and trousers without the vest; and
on a suit costing. say about $25. they
