THERE WASN'T ANY ROW.
1t Was Simply a Case Of Spontane-
Gus Combustion.

He was very young man, almost
too young to be out on the street at
that time of the night. $50 p. M. and
his general appearance indicated that
he had been picked up by cyclone
somewhere during his meanderings.
He was not utterly demoralized, but
there was something in his manner
that would lead the close observer to
the conclusion that all had not been
well with him.
"Geew he exclaimed as be spun

"Hello," calculated that worthy, in
stinctively grabbing at him; whats

'"There wasn't any," responded the
youth.

Disadvantages of Tall Men.

Tall men. as a rule, have bodies out
of proportion to their lower limbs
that is smaller than they ought to be
with the natural result that they are
unable to bear fatigue or to compete in
the struggles of life with lesser men
more tremendously proportional. Ar
my experience bears out these observa-
lions. In long and fatiguing march
the tall men usually fall out first or
succumb to campaigning unless, as is
very rarely the case. they have we'll
knit and symmetrical frames. A SOL
der between feet inches and feet
s or 9 inches is usually the man most
capable Of bearing the strain of life.

The Danger in
Centralized Wealth.
%~%T+%*%

ooiih 'iililoi oPCSu, III IIO Jul
rent number of Ainslee'sMagazine,
contributes an interesting article
on the distribution of wealth in the
United States. Some of the fig
ures he gives will no doubt be sur
prising to our readers. For exam
pie he makes the statement that |
per cent. of the families of this
country own more than half Of the
wealth represented on the tax
books, and he puts the total num-
Der of families at 100000. Even
the bllndest OF us cannot fail to
detect in this item of information
an element Of very grave danger
to our institutions, as it plainly
shows that we are slowly drifting
toward the dreaded waters of cen
tralization.
Mr.. Speed divides the aggregate
number OF families in this country
into four classes, as follows: The
wealthy classes, worth $4,000
and over, the well-to-do classes,
worth from $4,000 to $4,000; the
middle classes, worth from $500 to
$4,000, and the poorer classes,
worth under $500. Taking them
up each in turn he finds that the
wealthy classes embrace 1880
families, whose total property hold
ings amount to the enormous sum
of $52,0O0,000,000, and whose av-
erage assets are $335,500. Next
comes the well-to do classes, EN-.
bracing 1,e37,7O0 families with an
aggregate wealth of $33,000,0O0,-
900 and an average wealth Of ST.,
900. Embraced in what are known
as the middle classes there are g.
773,40O families, with an aggre-
gate wealth of 12,600,00O,O00 and
an average wealth of $50. Last
ly the poorer classes embrace g.
773,40O families, whose total prop
ertv holdings aggregate $780,
100000 and whose average assets
are $3.50. Footing up the whole
table he finds that all four Of the
classes il to which the population
is divided are together worth
s1OO,0OO,OO0,0OO and are separate
Iy worth on an average of ,S6,45o.
On examining the above figures
more closely we will find that there
are 13,746,Soo families in this
country whose property holdings
are not even up to the average;
and this disclosure, taken in con
uection with the appalling fact
that more than one,half of the
total wealth of the population is
owned by only l per cent. Of the !
families of the country, shows that
the situation is really growing Sc
rious and that something must be
done if we expect to remain re-

made his worlds records in 1900. On September

to A. As seconds and made of the most re-
markable performances ever seen. In that he was
compelled to run around big field and did not

Long to prepare for a worlds record trial on q
