PLENTY OF MONEY.

1t is some consolation to know that
our own country is comparatively the
richest in the world even If we do have
difficulty in getting hold OF money our
selves. OF the four hundred billions OF
wealth In the world we have almost
one-fourth or an average of sl235 for
each man. woman and child. Our per-
centage OF debt to wealth is lower
than that of any other nation. There
are now eight gold dollars in the ma
tionai treasury for every person in the
United States. These facts could not
exist were conditions not favorable for
the accumulation of riches. Then We
must decide that failure to acquire a
portion of the spoils reflects only on
the individual.

Acccring to the estimates of the de-
partInent of agriculture, the American
wheat crop of 1903 will be greatest that
the country has ever produced. The
acreage Of winter wheat Is "a millions
this year and it is predicted that this
vast area will yield more than 500 mil
lions Of bushels Of grain. The winter
and spring conditions have been per-
feet, the experts say for the growing
crop and there is no probability of fall
ure later In the year. We are accus-
toned to large figures in this country,
but this estimated crop is far ahead
of anything that has ever been record
ed. 1t means prosperous year for the
farmers and an unprecedented amount
OF business for the railroads, and in
cidentally increased activity in all 9TH
er branches Of business.

SHOT FOR SNOWBALLING
Alfred Sage May Die as Result

In retaliation for being snowballed,
George Swan. aged II. shot and prob

years old, in Parkdale last evening
Swan and another boy, the son of his
employer, were driving along Sixth
avenue near the corner of Lake street
in a buggy when several boys, Sage
among the number. began to SNOWFALL
them Swan drew a revolver from his
pocket and fred. and the Sage boy fen
to the ground with a bullet through his
abdomen. Swan jumped out of the
buggy and ran. and was not seen again
until an officer found him al the home

but said that it was accidental, and THAI
he intended only to frighten the boys
who were throwing The revolver was
not found on his person when he was
searched, and he declared that he had
thrown it away as he ran from the
scene of the tragedy. but the officers
are inclined to think that he concealed
it at the Curliss home before he was
CAPTURED.
AS soon as possible the injured boy
was taken to his home, 712 Lime street,
and Drs Mum and Ellinger were called.
When they arrived they ordered his re
moVal to StOrmont hospital, which was
done. An operation was performed at
o'clock last night and the bullet, 81
calibre, found and extracted.
A telephone message from the hos
pital today announced that the boy was
resting easily and getting along S well
as might be expected under the circum-
stances. The bullet penetrated both

Sage lives in Parkdale and his father,
S. J. Sage is a cobbler. The Swan boy
IS practically an orphan. His father is
dead, and his mother is somewhere in
Oklahoma, and he has not heard from
her for q year. None Of his relatives
live in this country. He was arrested
by Sheriff Cook last summer for stealing
a horse from a farmer for whom he had
worked near Silver Lake but was re-
leased after it was learned that the
farmer had refused to pay him his
wages, and that the horse was but a
fair exchange.
The injuries received by the Sage boy
are such that his death is liable to be
the result. and a state charge against
Swan viii be deferred until further de-
Velopments.

GUM VENDER LOST $500.
Invested His Entire Savings in Get
Rich-Quick Schemes.

St Louis. Feb. 21.-From the sale OF
chewing gum. p J. Randolph. the
aged vendeF who stands in front of the
Olympic theater. managed to scrape
together $500, which went the way Of
the other investments made in the E.
J. Arnold & Co. fiasco.
Randolph is frugal in his habits, and.
although his business operations are
confined entirely to the trade ne OBJ.
tains at the entrance of the Olympic.
he had managed to accumulate $500.
He is about 80 years of age.
With hopes of affluence for his de-
clining days, Randolph watched his i'm
vestment earn $40 in few short weeks.
Night after night, in all kinds Of
weather. as he stood before the door
of the theater, he calculated his profits.
At length he managed to save $50
more and putting it with the $50 earn
ed by interest. he took it to the office
papers heralded the collapse of the con-
Germ.
The $500 which Randolph lost in the
downfall of the turf concern represents
5000 packages of chewing gum, or 10000
slips of the succulent confectiOn-
enough to supply a whole theatrical
season at the Olympic.
But Randolph is game. He says that
he is an old man and therefore knows
that his investment was only q delus-
i've gamble. He does not bemOan his
fate. but accepts the unpleasant turn
of affairs with the philosophy of the
