IMAGINARY ECONOMY.
Men Of wealth Try to Impress Others
with Their Simplicity of
Living.

erich men have their affectations
and decisions, and they often try to
make other men believe that they live
simply" remarked bookkeeper of
varied experience in the ways of hui
man kind, says an exchange.
Notwithstanding the length and
breadth Of the English language, little
tricks of conversation cling to all of
us, andif you watch yourself you'll be
surprised to notice how often you say
the same thing. I've kept books for
several very rich men, and from each
of them, at the luncheon-hour, 1 used
to hear the sape old everyday humbug
remark. One wealthy mans pet
phrase, as he put on his hat and over
coat was sure to be: We'll, I must go
out now, and get;seme doHghRuts and
Coffee Then, Of course, off he would
post and get an expensive luncheon.
It's time for me to go out for my rye
bread and bologna" the second man
used to say; and the third man, the
richest one of them all, would state
gravely to me: I'LL be back in 20 min
utes; I'm just going around the corner
to get some bntter-cakes and molasses.'
mo, indeed, they weren't being fun
ny-they were in dead earnest. AS
soon as certain kind Of man gets
really rich he thinks he has plain tastes,
and also he thinks that he must talk
poor to keeppeople from expecting too
much from him. You rarely hear a
poor man talk about a butter-cake
luncheon. If he likes it, and eats it, hi
keeps it to himself"

I. e - ~.
the unknowing ones will explain that
this bit of water, like many others of
its kind, lies in northern Wisconsin,
close beside the tracks of the North
western railway
The wind blew at Tomahawk. It
tumbled its waters into ~choppy seas
that made navigation difficult for Tom,
our guide. It blew from the north d.
recetly from the ice fields that Perry
and others have buffeted unsuccess-
fully. 1t came down upon us with a
frigidity that CONCEALED the waters;
the dashing waves cast into our boat.
The sun shone at Tomahawk, but its
rays, though intensely bright, had
none of the congenial warmth belong
ing to late May.
I have but a, dim recollection of
shielding my eyes from the binding
reflection from the water, and my face,
from the cutting blasts of the wind.
That which / do remember with a
..y;gidress which cannot be effaced is
the rush of the .smnskie' through the
water.
The strike! ~.
The leap of the inny prize into the
air!
The plunge into the depths Of cold
water!
The whirr of the reel as he took out
line! e
The bending, quivering rod!
The tug and pull on the line!
The turning of the little crank that
reeled in the line as the ''muskie"
darted for the boat! cd
The final landing of the prize as
Toms arm shot out with the gait and
brought him into the boat! ~
All of these things I remember dis
>tinctly. There needs no jogging of the
memory to bring them back again, and
remembering these what care Isfor the
Disagreement of face; what care for
the jeers of friends; what care for
uncomplimentary comments.
All, but I remember one thing more.
It was not pleasant incident. It is
with curses that recall it.
remember all too distinctly the
doom pronounced upon me by the
game warden.
"Confiscated!"
My "muskies" gone to. feed the mad
ding crowd that fish not, neither do
they brave the discomforts heaped
upon us by the weather man.
"Confiscated!"
And all because the law was stronger
than my will or "pull."
Disfgurements count for naught,
but this is a sad ending to pleasing
7 tale. The next time the label will be
right. Tom shall be my witness that
It is, and I and mine shall eat the next
''muskie" that falls prey to MY Prov
ess.

Back Diseouraging and
Gloomy Reports.

While newly arrived Italians are.
crowding into New York by tens Of
thousands, some of the earlier im-
migrants are doing what they can to
discourage further immigration, re-
ports the New York Times. Their
methods of discouragementa are many.
Some of those who are able to write
send home gloomy accounts of the
country. Others write like accounts
for Neapelitan and Sicilian newspa.
;pers. There are poets in Mott and
Mulberry streets VINO sing of the
hardships awaiting the newcomer in
America. The broadside in doggerel
ID favorite mode of reaching pub
lie opinion at home and in the coll
ony. Somebody can be found to read
aloud to those who cannot read for
themselves, and even q crude form of
verse has great attractions for the
Nalian,
One l.of these broadsides, for cir
cula tions on both sides of the Attain
tic, tells.of Italian pastimes in Amer
lea. At the rheadsofi the, sheet is
crude picture of an immigrant be-
ing robbed of his very shoes as he
lies on the ground and yells for the
police. The poet begs a hearing in
his first stanza, and vows that il
God grants him safe passage from
this country, he will cheerfully die
in battle. Columbus, he declares, was
the original cause of italian ruin.
| Here in this new land men work
all day long for hard tasaSmas ters,
and are robbed by those with whom
they lodge and feed, whether in city
or country.
When the Italian immigrant lands.
half dead with seas;ckness, he is
caressed, and the padrone promises
him safe and profitable employment,
but takes care to make him pay five
dollars for the privilege of working.
The English-speaking boss is worse
still, for when his orders are not
understood by the stranger, he be-
comes as angry as thunderbolt, UNI
til at length the poor italian, treat
ed worse than deg, begins to think
death preferable to life in. Amer
lea.
Even Italians themselves, who on
an alien soil should be brothers all,
maltreat the newcomer. There are
Italians who go about clad in Amer
lean clothes, ard proud as dogs.
though they have not penny intheir
pockets.
Even employment on the hard
terms Of this country is uncertain,
for the poet at the end of six months
had had only ten days work. Mean
while the winter is found almost I'M
bearable, and the summer, with it's
insects, that riddle q man like a
sieve, and make sleep impossible, not
much better. If this exodus to Amer
lea continues, Italy will be left with
only women, children, old men, and
priests, sad company. The poet
begs those at home to pray to the
saints and the Virgin for Italy and
for her expatriated sons.
Coming back to the ills of life in
America, he bewails the luck of the
Italian who falls sick in New York.
He must pay the doctor two dollars
visit. The Italians have come to
America to make money, and if they
must spend all in luxuries of this
sort, they can never return to Italy.
The new land is humbug at best,
where professors and laborers alike
must dig, pick in hand. The poet
closes his lament by urging his coun-
trymen, especially the young, to- re-
member what he has said.

balls in the outskirts of Chicago.
The first course in the vicinity of Chi
cago was laid out at Lake Forest in
1901, but it was only small affair.
About the first club actually organ
lied in the country was the Old Apple
Tree brigade at Yonkers, N. Y. The
st. Andrews Golf club was formed in
1883, and after the game became
more generally known championship
tournaments were started. The New
port Golf club ran off the first one,
and w. Lawrence took the honor.
In 1895 the United States Golf assoc
citation was formed and the first
championship event was won by Nc
Donald; since then H. j. Whigham
has captured the honor twice, win
ming in both 1896 and 1897; Findlay
Douglas won in 1898, while the fifth
championship went to Herbert Har-
riman. Travis won the year follow
ing, and the present champion is
Louis James, who won his title last
year at Glenview. The progress of
the game in this country has been
remarkable since it's inception, and
it is impossible to give with any de-
gree of accuracy the number of fol-
lowers of the game to-day or tho
number of clubs in existence. Phelps
B. Hoyt is the popular captain of the
Glenyiew club. He has done much
to further tire game in the west, and
has figured prominently in champion
ship events in recent years.

worlds record for a mile for steam
automobiles was also recently broken
when F. E. Stanley went the distance
at Readville, Mass, in 1902 As.
Jack Root, light heavyweight
champion Of the world, and George
Gardner, a claimant for the honor,
have been matched, to fight for the
honor before the international Ath-
letic club OF Fort Erie, canada, on
the afternoon of July 4.
Among the entries for the famous
Henley regatta, which is held yearly
on the Thames river, London, appear
the names of two Americans and one
Canadian: Titus, of the Atlantic
