was the constant companion of the va

Both for his own diversion and for
the entertainment OF his friends tho
minister still practices shooting. At
home he uses very small rifle and a
delicate pair OF pistols, but the weapon
with which he has made the finest rec
ord Is q French gallery rifle made In
Paris after his own Instructions No
professional, certainly, ever did more
exact or delicate shooting than this ac-

1.-THE fact Is, taking it through Amer
lean society, 1t is the same story every
where. The clerk with salary of ST.
600 year wants to live as well as the
clerk with an income of $500. The
tradesman earning $1,000 wants as
good a house as his neighbor whose
profits reach $4,000 year. The bank
cashier wants to live as well as the
president of the bank, and he in turn
envies the manner of living of the
president of the big insurance COM

money to look after.
There never was a country as rich

with panics and commercial crises.
