GROWTH DURING YEAR
OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The past year has been one Of the
most successful in the history Of
the missionary work of the Episcopal
liam church in Spokane. Unusual ef-
forts have been put forth to raise
sufficient money to accomplish the
work of the church in domestic and
foreign lands. and the members of
the parish have generously responded
to the invitation of Bishop Wells to
lend their financial support to so
worthy an object. The different or
ganizations in connection with the
cathedral have also during the year
experienced healthy growth, the
Woman's auxiliary chiefly being in a
nourishing condition. At the last
meeting of this society the following
officers were elected for the new year:

THE LITTLE DUCHESS
y: WAS DIPLOMATIC.

LONDON. Jan. lit required a
good deal of tact and diplomacy to
avert what might have proved ser-
ious strike among the men employed
on the duke Of Marlborough new
mansion In Curzon street.-the house
in which the little duchess hopes to
BE- the greatest hostess in England.
The duchess had conceived an idea
that Fronch oarvers and sculptors
were the only. worlemen capable Of
carrying out the designs which she
had selected with so much care for
the stonework decorations. So 40
skillsys men were imported from
FRA When they appeared the
union men on the observation-disclosures,
masons, carpenters and all--gave an
hours notice to leave. Her grace
was communicated with, and she sug-
gested compromise by which half
the Frenchmen were to return home,
thus dividing the work between the
two sections and retaining an Eng
lishman TO superintend the work.
Tho frame of the building Is now
complete, and since the decorations
commenced. the duchess Is frequent
ly on the scene, examining every
detail OF the work as 1t proceeds.
"Sha might have been brought up

pointed out. Il suppose" put In one

Our Modern American Fortunes Pale

These are strange times in the ac-
emulation of fortunes-strangcr than
any fiction could ever have made them.
Think of it for a moment Andrew
Carnegie. a canny little Scotch boy
came to this unknown land few
decades ago barefooted and last year
offered to settle the Venezuelan i'm
brOglio between Germany. England
France, Italy and the South American
republic by loaning Venezuela the en-
tire sum of these International debts
And yet u fortune so huge as TO per
nit of such offers is as nothing TO the
power of another man. Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, personally a quiet American citi-
zen from Cleveland. simple liver,
with few habits of luxury. could east
ly buy half dozen of the independent
kingdoms of Europe; could without
feeling it to any great extent in his
pocketbook take up the debts of all the
republics of Central and South Ameri-
ca, says Harper's Weekly.
Again in 1874 Alexandra Dumas pub
lished a book called The Count Of
MOnte-Christo" the basis of which is
the fabulous wealth of an individual.
The count finds a cave full of almost
priceless jewels. He buys mems lives;
he spends money everywhere; he comes
to Paris with a notice from his Italian
bankers giving him unlimited credit
on u Paris bank. There is no limit on
what he can draw from NJ. Danglers. |
1t is entirely unprecedented. Nothing
like it was ever known before. He
draws 100000 francs and ruins the [
banker.-and still no complaint from his |
Roman house. He rights wrongs. he |
saves more lives. he Furnishes the |
guilty by the use Of unlimited wealth. /
and then by and by he leaves Maxi |
milan on the island Of MOnte-C Christie
with his bride and sails away. As
sees his big ship disappear
on the horizon he finds Monte-ChristO's
will. leaving him his whole fortune
This fortune. Dumas suggests in two
Or three places, was l000OO.OOO francs
,$2O,O00.O00i. 1t is the greatest private
fortune the Frenchman could conceive
Of in 1874 1t is considerably less than
the income Of John d. Rockefeller in
1908.
So you might run on if it did not tire
he brain to conceive more. But. most
of all, this one individual
made his Unprecedented wealth with
lis own brains.

New Years Eve
Party at Brookside

One of the pleaant incidents of the
holiday season at Blookside was the
watch meeting at the rooms of the
athletic Club, under the auspices of
the ladies of that village. EARLY in
the evening of December 81, the club
rooms were filled with people, who
had assembled to take part in the fes-
tivities, which were designed to COM
morate the departure of the old and
the advent of the new year. The
program was begun by vocal solo
by NJ. R. Hussy, followed by num-
ber of we'll rendered recitations and
songs, after which much to the sur
prise of the gentlemen present. a
dance was called for by Mrs. E. T.
Crank the ladies choosing tel partners
for the grand march, which was led
by Mrs. Ella Madden and r. Jones.
The evening was merry one and
at ~ o'clock the club room rang with
shouts of welcome to the 1903. each
0uest wishing his partner a happy
new year. The ladies then served
