NEWLY RICH ON PARADE.
People Not Accustomed to Wealth Try
to Put on a Great "Front"
in Public.

Two men, an elderly one and a
dapper-looking young fellow, stood
In front of one of the big hotels
on Michigan avenu the other after
noon watching the continuous parade
Of turnouts, the racing automobiles,
and the stream of pedestrians, re-
lates the Chicago Inter Ocean.
II get tired looking at 'em,'
the elderly man finally said to his
companion. "I've been at it for ten
years, and still I am standing here
watching the crowd go by. I have
become an expert in separating the
genuinely prosperous from the seem
ingly prosperous, and the staid, old,
wealthy people from the horde of
newly rich.
"Now, just wait a minute. There
goes a fellow I've seen 10000 times.
That auto is a new one. He's not
the least bit stuck up over it, how
ever, for he has been rich all his
life, and the new playthings never
turn his head. He's like a child that
Is given a new toy every day. He is
glad to get the machine, but it is only
one of a thousand novelties, and he
thinks little of it.
"But, look at the man and woman
in that carriage. I've seer him a
few times of late. + don't know
what his name is, nor his. business,
nor where he lives, but he hasn't
been used to money very long. See
what a front he is trying to put
on. He is sure everybody is watch
ing him. See that. I knew the wom-
an would turn and look when she
passed those large plate-glass mir
rors, and she can see just how swell
the whole outfit looks. They all do
it, that is, all the newly rich. I've
seen them countless times turn and
look at their own images in that
very row of windows.
IT sometimes wish I were boo
again, SO that I could feel my i'm
portance after becoming rich. It's
a great feeling, and. I suppose there
was a day when I also craned my
neck to peep in at the windows"
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1903-05-21
THE MOTHER.

Great passions I awake that must
Bow any woman to the dust
With fear lest she should fail to rise
: AS high as those enamored eyes.
Now for these flying days and sweet
II sit in beauty's mercy seat.
My smiles, my favorS, l award,
.Since I am beautiful, adored.
They praise my cheeks, my lips, my eyes,
With loves, most exquisite batteries,
Covet my hands that they may kiss
And to their ardent bosoms press.
My foot upon the nursery stair
Makes them a music rich and rare;
MY skirt that rustles as I come
'For every rapture strikes them dumb.
What j%ealousies Of word and glance!
The light of my poor countenance
:. Lights UP their world that else were
drear,
''But you are lovely, mother dear!'
L go not to my grave, but I
Know beauty's full supremacy;
Iike Cleopatra's self, I prove
The very heights and depths of love.
$50 to be loved, so to be wooed.
oh, more tina mortal woman should!
What if she fail or fall behind!
: Lord make me worthy, keep them blind!

ditions of Alberta, the beautiful land
of sunshine and happy homes. Over
n hundred thousand Americans
have made Western Canada their
home within the past five years, and
in this year upwards of $4,000 will
take up homes there.
Miss Gray took her leave for Dds
bury, Alberta, the home of her sister
and other relatives and friends on
Jan. 10 last, and after a two months
sojourn in her western prairie home,
she writes Of it as follows: II know
[ shall grow to love the prairies. We
have a beautiful view of the noun
tains, and it seems wonderful 10 me
to see home after home for miles,
and it is becoming thickly settled all
around us. With the exception of the
last few days, which have been cold
and stormy, we have had beautiful
spring weather ever since I came.
The days are beautiful. I call this
the land of the sum- as it seems to
be always shining, the nights are
cold and frosty. On arriving here, ]
was so greatly surprised in every
way. Didsbury is quite a business
little town. All the people I meet
are so pleasant and h%ospitable. They
have four churches in Didsbury-the
Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical
and Mennonite. The Evangelicals
have just completed a handsome
church, very large and finely fur
nished, costing $4,000. They have a
nice literary society here, meets
every two weeks. They have fine mu'
steal talent here.
