difference does it make if you are on
yachting party whose yacht it is?"
That sounds like very plausible rea-
soning." laughed the other, only you
do not seem to understand that to him
who hath is given, not, as would seem
BETTING, to him who hath not. 1t
is generally the people who have yachts
and coaches and all that are asked on
other coaches and yachts. I have Of
ten noticed" she continued, that rich
people like one another. Whether it
is a sympathetic interest from doing
the same things, or whether bullion is
thicker than blood. certain it is that
the very rich constitute class, and are
apt TO ignore outsiders. 1t often strikes
me as curious" continued the young
philosopher, Ito note the intense re-
spect rich people have for money itself.
We who are not blessed with a super
fluffy of this worlds goods may long
for what money brings and dream of
the pleasure it would be to be rich, but
we care for other things, too. We have
our enthusiasms about art, literature,
brave deeds, achievements in science,
politics and no end of other interests,
but have frequently noticed with very
rich people that it is money that they
respect the most. They profess and
doubtless feel admiration for the things
/ have mentioned, but their real respect
is for the multi millionaires, and, beg
ging your pardon, that is what ! al
ways feel when l go among them, and
that is why feel like fish out of wa

Ever hear of a honeymoon car? The
only one in America that really quail
fies for that term is run from Haver-
hill to Boston every night by Conductor
Billy Chase, who has the record for
dragging the newly married over the
rails. There isn't a night of the year,
except Fridays and the 18th days, that
this train doesn't carry the bride and
the groom. They all seem to patron
ize it, although they all know what is
in store for them from jovial friends.
Rice, placards, signs, spoken jests
and a thousand and one reminders
that they are on their honeymoon is
the fate of those who travel with Mr.
Chase. Famous for years, it is no
wonder that fun is ever on the in
crease when the conductor calls "All
aboard"
Mr.. Chase. says the New York Her
aid, is full of stories of the tricks that
are played on his patrons. One time,
he says, when William E. Russell, the
magnetic young man, whole hearted and
overlooking with kindness, was on
were eight bridal couples in the honey
moon car. Russell wanted to see what
they looked like, so the conductor and
the Governor passed through. Rus
sell stopped at each seat and shook
hands with every man and wife, wish
ing them all the happiness in the world.
Then, when a side station was reach
ed, he sent out for cigars for the men
and little keepsakes for the women.
There wasn't a man or woman aboard
who didn't hear later of the death of
this democratic executive with genuine
regret.
The only time a couple ever escaped
attention on the honeymoon train was
when young man, at the advice of
Mr.. Chase chartered a private car and
had it hitched to the main stem. The
doors were locked, and when the hun
dred of mischief loving friends trooped
down, they were told the couple weren't
aboard. They wanted to know what
was in the closed car, and the con-
ductor assured them it was filed with
damaged furniture being taken to the
repair shops. Then they wanted to
enter, but Chase told them the car
was going to be dumped at siding,
and they desisted. So the man and
his wife escaped to Boston, but that
was the only time any such couple
ever went unscathed through the hon
eymooh route.
