The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-05-20

ION one occasion, when I was telling
the story Of my fortunes in the Occur
dAlene country, ay friend Northrop said,
with surprise. Cant see how a man can
make and then lose 100000
Here's the solution: The man with
good, sound judgment and a reasonable
sized head once in possession of 100000
does not lose it. He 1t is who works
the SNOWFALL racket on his pile.
But the shoddy man, the lucky shod-
dy man, the man who never before had
800, the man who begins to feel poor
when he gets his first $5GOO6 man who
constantly and willfuly and determined
ly persists in getting over his head IN the
confusing waters Of speculation, who be-
Titles the size of his p8e5 as he associates
with millionairess JoinsSin their schemes,
and buys their stseky the shoddy man
who looks WISE ASA forest of owls and
believes he Is great because he has been
lucky; he who gives bad advice and re-
fuses good, he who has an. expense &C
count that, like the impending avalanche,
will snowslide him to poverty; he it IS
who loses 100000. Not one in a thousand
of these fellows ever makes it back
Their time is now occupied in thinking
Of their past greatness, and they drift
along Times rapid stream until they
whirl into the vortex Of despair"
1t was in 1898 that Wardner went to
South Africa He had rather an interest
ing meeting with President Kruger, with
whom he had coffee. He says: "Oom
Paul Is very like the pictures we have
seen of him. His face is stamped with
lines Of determination, but L found him
very pleasant Notwithstanding. He said
to me: You are an Englishman?'
g No, Mr.. President I replied. 4 came
from a country that gained it's independ-
ence a good deal the same way that your
country has; am an American
" Very glad to see you. SIR he remark
ed, and reaching under the table he pick
ed up paper and read to me that Baron
Rothschild had said that the Americans
were a nation of spendthrifts.'
81 told him that L had kangarooed all
over the world, and that 1 was not up on
our national finances and internal affairs,
but being aware Of the fact that the sal
airy of his excellency, presiding over 2,OOO,-
coo Of people, was the same as President
Clevelands, who presided over about
100000, L felt that the barons state
ment was not right. He laughed"

His grace the Duke OF yeragua has
been annoyed by money matters again.
He was passing through Paris on his
way back from Berlin, after delivering
the insignia Of the Golden Fleece to
the German crown prince, when a
French creditor levied execution on his
baggage. The duke In 1889 undertook
to build a bull ring in the Bois de Bou-
logne, but the speculation proved a
failure, and the contractors remained
unpaid. One Of these heard of the
dukes presence in Paris and thought
lie had caught him. The Spanish en-
basSador interviewed, however. with the
statement that the duke was on a dip
lomatic mission. and the baggage was
released.
