from the merely well-to-do - 70 Be al

days, any sober and Industrious man
could prosper, even though he did not
perform merely manual labor. There
was work for every one TO do, and no
one was more in demand than Mr.. Jack
of-alI-trades, who now walks BuPorhu-
Gus in the dusty highway, with no one

need his ingenious services. Food Was
plenty, land was cheap, Tents were low.
Be honest and you viii Be happy, was
not mere cant; Il was the solemn and
the grateful truth. Pretty nearly
every one lived well, but pretty nearly
all lived plainly. With better houses,
with better water supplies, with i'm
proved lamps for illumination and
then with the introduction Of nlum-
mating gAs, and most Of all with the
greater wealth which came ct the end
Of the civil war, the growth Of luxuri-
Ous living began taking tremendous
strides. Luxury with poor light after

Charles II. ever dreamed Of. But the
wealth that comes with new fortunes
20 new people was really what began
the race which may Be called the Nil
honire Stakes for all ages, says .
writer IN Ainslee's Magazine.
Before these stakes were opened
there were . few fortunes in this coun-
try. Some were made In the trade with
the east, some were made In strictly
domestic commerce, some were found
ed In piracy. and other adventures By
sea, but the greatest number and the
most stable were those which came
from the shrswd investments n land
which wa enhapced in value by the
growth Of cities. Even mp 20 the time
that The newly rich began 70 splurge,
the owners Of the fortunes Just Men
TONED were pretty generally toIerably
plain people, who lived very quietly
and looked upon those who made un-
usual display - too vulgar to come in
side the sacred pale which called itself
society. In New York. this class Of
people q the time mentioned lived in
the neighborhood Of Washington
Square; in Philadelphia, toward the
foot Of Walnut street, and in Boston. I'm
that ever sacred Beacon street. They
were slow but sure. They had no
Doubt about their position, or the pro-
priety with which they maintained
their dignity. They did what thsV
pleased, but they did not please TO be
IN the least fantastic, theatrie. o.
tentatious or conspicuous. And until
the newly rich had arrived. with the
manifest intention to stay permanent
y, there were none with either the am

which was maintained not by
an aggressiveness, but by the passive
