might and main until darkness stopped
his brush's travels across the canvas.
He persevered in his work despite the
many strenuous objections of his neigh
bors, and, as a result, he has the sat-
isfaction of knowing that scores of
eminent critics have praised 1.-The Cru

perspective.
MiIlionaires' SchOOl-HOur Parade.
Thos people who have a fad for
seeking out multi-millionaires and gaZ-
ing upon them as if they were ON ex-
hibition should line up along Fifth
avenues residential section between
and 10 o'clock these winter mornings.
Then it Is that the "kings of finance"
captains of industry and "represen-
tatives of the money power" are seen
in considerable strength taking their
children to the homes of tutors or to
private schools.
Many of the papas walk along like
papas who can count only few thou
sand dollars in bank, with their sons
and daughters trustingly smuggling
small hands in the paternal big ones.
Others drive their simply clad and
laughing offspring to their lessons in
dog and pony carts, and still others ac-
company children astride of tricycles
and bicycles.
In these school parades nearly every
family of wealth along the avenue who
has children is represented, and the
list includes many known all over the
country.
Judging from the faces of the papas,
they enjoy the daily walks every bit as
much as the boys and girls, who upturn
lighted countenances to those above
them and ply questions about every
thing under the sun-just like the av-
erage American youngster.
To those who desire to see the null
t-millionaire off his guard and acting
quite like other men, the school hour
parade on Fifth avenue affords an ex-
cellent opportunity.
MiIliOnaires and safe Deposit Boxes
Mentioning millionaires recalls the
conversation / had recently with the
superintendent of the safe deposit de-
partment of a big trust company. He
said:
II guess you've read Of old women
who kept their savings in stockings
buried under piles of rubbish in at
tics and who, once a day. fished out
the boarded dollars just to look at
them and put them back again with
out taking away a penny Well, your
modern millionaire is addicted to a
somewhat similar habit"
Among our customers are a score
of more or less well-known men Of
millions, and once a day nearly every
other mothers son of them walks into
the safe deposit vaults, unlocks his
own private box, pulls out bundle
of securities worth millions, runs
through these rapidly, and then, sat-
isfied that everything is intact, re-
places the papers, locks the box. mods
me good day and leaves the building.
zone man in particular has securi-
ties deposited here that are good for
100000 any day in the year. He
has kept them here for nearly three
years, and I believe that he hasn't
missed running I'm to look them over
every day that we've been open since
he left them with us.

made this trip OF at least twenty
blocks after his lunch.

nothing could happen to them, but I
