PLANT OF A MILLIONAIRE.
Not Much Fun in Life for q Man who
Has Acquired Enormous
Wealth.

'What is the smallest income on
which a man may live in New York?
was the question | asked Of noted
banker whose income cannot be less
than 100000 year. Well" he re-
piled, my household expenses alone
amount to $4,000 year, and do not
see how l possibly could live on less
than that" Then, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, reminiscent smile began
to cross his eountenance, and, heaving
little sigh, he said: But the hap
piest time Of my life was when my wife
and l and two children lived here on
$4,000 year. After all, happiness
doesn't depend on the amount Of
mans income.
81 was quite intimate with William
H. Vanderbilt when be was considered
the richest man in the country. l met
him one day in Fifth avenue and said
to him that he ought to be the hap
piest man in the world. I am not, the
great millionaire replied. My health
is shattered and all the money Ipossess
cannot restore it. Icannot even drive
one of my fine horses. 1t is painful for
me to sit down. Myvonly possible ex-
ercise is tor me to walk down the ave-
nue.. receive threatening letters
daily, and my nerves are so unstrung
that am constantly afraid that some
assassin will waylay me. I am over
run with people who want to get my
money. I am the most wretched man
in New York. and tell you that after
person has accumulated enough to
secure him againetpoverty and crafty

At the Philadelphia convention

has got the corpse out from under
