GREAT FORTUNES a BURDEN.

Great fortunes. such as those which
Rockefeller. Carnegie, Field and others
have are no doubt a great burden. The
chief pleasure derived from them is
the consciousness of power they give.
Nearly all men like power, and that
wealth gives power there is no doubt.
A man of wealth, provided he is of
good character, is always held in high
esteem, and the regard which his fell
low citizens have for him is measured,
to a great extent. by the amount of his
wealth
Rockefeller and other multi-million-
aires are criticised for trying to avoid
the payment of their taxes and for not
giving more freely to charitable and
other objects. Nevertheless they are
envied. and when they appear in pub
lie, are pointed out as objects of more
than passing interest. There is always
a multitude to do for them whatever
they wish done
The men, however, who accumulate
great fortunes must find them a source
of worry. If they are inclined to be
close they are studying all the while
how they can make their millions earn
larger dividends and how they can
keep the tax collector from getting a
fair share of what is due the state. AS
a rule they are well along in life be-
fore they are anywhere near satisfied
with what they have. if, in fact, they
are ever satisfied. Then comes the
trouble of disposing of their fortunes,
provided they decide to make some
disposition of a part of what they have
before they die. They get some salts
faction from their donations to charit-
able and educational Institutions, but
it is probable that for every such do
nation they receive hundred begging
letters, in which they are tod that the
wealth they have was given them as
trustees, and that it is their duty to
distribute it, or else they are abused
for not being more liberal.
Mr.. Carnegie is giving his millions
to the advancement of higher educa-
ton. and for the erection of libr Try
buildings. Mr. Rockefeller has given
many millions to the Chicago Univer-
sity, and is now building a great in
stitute for the study Of d sc lses of
which but little is known. He has al
ready given this institution $1,000. 900
and announces that he viii eive it al
that is necessary to establish 1t and
keep it going. But what he has given
to these institutions is but a small
fraction of his wealth. in fact, a very
small part of his annual income. I'm
less he distributes his wealth much
faster than he is now doing he will d e,
in all probability, the richest man in
the world.
Mr.. Field. the Chicago MERCHANT,
who is not nearly so rich as either Mr..
Rockefeller or Mr.. Carnegie, is reputed
to have more than 800, 900 900. 1t has
just been announced that he is going
to give Chicago the greatest museum
in the world.
These multi-m illionaires have had
pleasure of course in accommodating
their vast fortunes, and they get a
great deal of satisfaction out of the
feeling of power which these for ture 5
give them, but 1t is question whether
the annoyances and burdens which are
inseparable from them do not overbal-
ance all the pleasure the possession of
them gives.

TEN CENT COTTON.

Cotton farmers should not permit
the policy of diversifying their crops
by the present high price of cotton. The
price reached 10 cents pound last
Thursday in New York. and we hear
reports from various parts of the cot
ton belt that farmers are preparing to
greatly increase their cotton acreage
this year OF course cotton at 10 cents
pound pays, but the fact ought not
to be overlooked that If cotton farmers
abandon other crops and give all their
attention to cotton it will be only n
couple of years or so before the sup
ply Will be greater than the demand
that is, greater than the demand at
price that pays a good profit.
For several years the cotton farmers
have been exceptionally prosperous,
and there is no reason why they should
not have a long period of prosperity,
provided they do not make the mistake
of raising more cotton than the world
can take at price profitable to the
growers. To a greater extent than
ever before they are now producing
their own supplies of food for their ia
Bile and for live stock. They ought to
increase rather than diminish their
grain and hay crops and their produce
ton of fruits and meat. 1t will pay
them to stick to the plan of diversified
farming. Even if cotton should con-
tinue to command a price around 10
cents all of their profits would be re-
quired to buy supplies at the high
prices which Western grain, hay and
meats command, if they were to aban-
don that plan.
OF course, II is impossible to predict
with any degree of certainty how long
the price of cotton will continue to be
as high as 1t is now. In 1890.
the price ranged from 3-16
to 121a cents a pound. There was a
rush into cotton planting then, and
as one of the results. the price dropped
to about CENTS a pound in 1895. At
that time there were many opinions
expressed to the effect that the South
might as well prepare itself to be con-
tent with cents for cotton.
The present price of cotton shows
that not much reliance is to be placed
| upon opinions as to the future price
of cotton. Only one thing can be de-
pended upon with a great degree of
certainty, and that is that If the sup
ply is kept a little below the demand
the price is pretty certain to be a
profitable one, even in times when the
| country is not in prosperous condi-
ton.
Those who are chiefly responsible for
the rise that has taken place in the
price of cotton within the past two or
three weeks are of the opinion that
there is a cotton famine IL sight-that
it will be discovered very soon that
the supply is not now equal to the
consumption by several hundred thou
sand bales. IL is not necessary Of
course TO go into particulars as to how
they figure this out. but they are 80
firmly convinced OF IL that they have
been operating on that theory ever
since last November. AS a matter Of

REMEDY ron INSOMNIA.

At this time when the newspapers
and periodicals. are full of illustrated
articles on exercise as a health restorer
and health preserver it is interesting
to find so high an authority as Samuel
Sloan, for many years president of the
Delaware and Lackawanna Railway
and still chairman of the board of di-
rectors, who is of the opinion that no
regular system of exercise is necessary
for the preservation of health, that all
the exercise that is needed is found in
work
Mr.. Sloan is now Sc years of age and
hale and hearty. Indeed he is capable
of doing about as much work in day
as the average man of 80 years of age.
In the course of an interview a few
days ago. speaking of the systems of
exercise which are so freely adver-
tised, he said: 81 take no stock in
all these systems of exercise or train
ing. If man works like he ought to
he will get plenty of exercise. I've
worked all my life and l never lacked
exercise. 1t was the kind of work that
made me sleep like log when l came
home. 1t was the work that makes in
somnia impossible
Mr.. Sloan's business, of course, kept
him out of doors much of the time.
He had to be in many places in the
course of the day, and in moving about
he had all the exercise he needed. He
is healthy and strong now because his
habits have been good, his life prob
ably without many worries-at least he
has not worried much-and above all
he had the good fortune to be born
with a good constitution. Besides, no
doubt he is one of a type of men who
live long and retain their vitality long
after they have reached three score
and ten years of age.
But Mr.. Sloan's experience, would not
be a suitable guide for the man who
has to stand at desk throughout the
entire day or whose occupation keeps
him in a sitting position while at his
work. 1t is for people whose occupa-
ton does not afford them exercise that
systems of exercise are devised. OF
course, a man who is running about
from one place to another for eight or
ten hours out of every twenty-four
doesn't need any other kind of exer-
else. His business affords him all he
needs. And at night he is tired
enough to sleep without being rocked.
1t is different with those whose bust
ness or occupation keeps them at a
desk all the time. Exercise is a SOW
ereign remedy for insomnia, whether
it is obtained in the regular course of
ones business or by means of the sys-
TENS that have been devised to assist
those who are engaged in sedentary oc-
equations.

The presence of Taylor. the Santa Fe
agent al Chanute, as a witness in a
case at lola, recalls to the Register a
lucky pistol shot made by Taylor some
ten years ago, says the Kansas City
Times. At that time Taylor was agent
at lola. One night he was sleeping
on his desk while his wife sat al a ia
BILE writing a letter. Suddenly the
ticket window was smashed i'm and two
hands appeared, each grasping huge
revolver, both being pointed at Mrs.
Taylor, who was commanded to throw
up her hands. When Taylor awaken
ed he found his wife with hands up
and looking with terror into the muz-
Zles of the six-shooters. Softly roll
ing over on the desk ne seized a re-
volver which was at hand and took
careful aim at the place behind tile
window where he estimated the head
of the robber to be. Then he pulled
the trigger and the robber fell to the
floor with a cry and commenced TO
crawl outside. 4 little later the rob-
Der was found dead with d bullet in
his head The wonder is that the rob-
Der did not spasmodically pull the
triggers of the guns pointed at Mrs.
Taylor only a few feet away.
