FRAEULEIN kRUPP.
The Richest Girl In the World IL
.uar sled by Detectives.

II is one of the grim ironies of fate
that young girl. barely of age, should
be- in Il sense responsible for the blood
shed in the struggle between Russia
AMI Japan. owing 10 the fact that she
supplied both pow .fs with practically
all of their guns. The young woman
in question is Miss Krupp. who. on the
death of her father. became chief pro-
prietor OF the world famed krupp
works ut Essen and likewise became
the wcalthicst woman in the world.
The hcircSS seems To have Inherited
some of the family capacity for in
dustrial organization. for she takes the
greatest pride and delight in supervis-
Ing the work of the different depart
mcnts and declares that nj some fu-
ture time she will have gained suf-
ficicnt experience To take an active part
in the direction of affairs.
Meanwhile her Interference in bust
ness matters is limited TO passive SUI
pervision. but she takes Il more active
part in controlling the management Of
the numerous auxiliary departments of
the establishment. The schools for
the children of her employees and the
hospitals for the care of the sick re-
ceivc regular visits from her. and she
has sharp eye for defects of all kinds.
Knowing human nature. il is hardly
surprising 10 find that Miss krupp's
employees do not appreciate her good
qualities and charitable ways Liv-
ing in Miss krupp's houses. sending
their children To her schools. applying
10 her hospitals when they or their
families are sick. attending her church
es. drinking beer in her restaurants.
buying meat from her slaughter houses,
flour from her mills. bread from her
bakeries and hats and clothes from her
stores make them feel that they are
her serfs. and not fr.cborn laborers.
Miss Krupp's charitable disposition
has become known to the general pub
lie in Germany. with the result that she
receives on an average over 2U0 purely
begging letters n day. and over 100
letters daily entreating her To give IA
position I'm the works 10 some worthy
young man.
She also has TO undergo some of the
Inconvenience which are generally
confined TO emperors and kings. Her
vast wealth and the ownership of an
entire city make her likely target for
anarchists bullets. and her friends are
I'm constant fearof her assassination For

HE GETS A MONEY ORDER.
With the Money He Doesn't Want to Spend When Out with
 the Boys.

"One of the queerest things l ever heard of," said a young man, who sometimes keeps late hours, relates the Providence Journal, lis the action of friend of mine, who has knack of saving, despite the fact that sometimes when he meets a friend he celebrates too much. He always, after he has had a few drinks and realizes that he will take more before the end of the evening, takes an account of stock, as you may say. He finds a corner somewhere and there figures up the amount of cash on hand. Then he starts for the post office.
 "When he gets there he buys a money order, payable to himself, for an amount equal to the great. CT part of the sum he has on hand. This done, he mails the order to himself, and then, certain of say. ing that much of his money, at least, through the evening, he starts out to resume the joyous oc- cupation of enjoying himself. It is a great scheme, and one I never heard of anyone else using. It works very well, indeed, with him. I have seen men give a part of their money to bartender to take care of for them, but this scheme of buying money order for your self beats that. And you can get a money order at the Providence post office any hour of the night, now."

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure from Unexpected Sources-A
 Clothes-Reel Comedy.

The Italian immigrant has happy gift of extracting pleasure from unexpected sources, so many commonplace objects of his new home are yet wonders to him. \. woman who lives in a pretty su. burban residence, the long garden of which runs back to a small court upon which row of tene- ment houses has just been erect ed, discovered this recently when she found a group of dark-eyed, dirty little boys dancing ecstat- ically on the platform of her clothes dryer.
 They were cheering on a daring comrade, who was clinging to the outer cross bar of the reel, relates the Youths Companion. One of his mates had set it spinning, and the other boy was dizzily gyrat- ing aloft, mingling his excited squeals of joy with the creaks and groans of the overburdened ma- chine. Even as she looked there was an om.nOus snap, and the fly ing cherub came suddenly to earth at her feet, where he sat softly rubbing himself and staring up at her, too daZed to cry. For the sake of their own youthful bones she thought it case for severity, and began to scold the intruders as sternly as she knew how, conclud- ing rather helplessly with an i'm patient, "Whatever made you do such silly thing, anyhow? An swer me, can't youw
 'Bullafuna, signorinaw whim. pered the fallen one. And it was not until the remark was trans lated by an Irish youngster, who was peeping through the fence, that she learned what the Italian lad meant.
 Sure, he says it's bully fun," the Irish boy interpreted.
 Arguments and remonstrances quite failed to overcome the dan- gerOus fascination of such de- lightful gymnastic apparatus. The woman had finally to take it down and resort to the ancient and in- convenient clothes-line instead.
 A far funnier case of perverted entertainment occurred lately in a Connecticut town in which the drawbridge tender complained to the police that the Italian resi-. dents had fallen into the habit of riding on the draw as if it were a merry go round.
 "Sometimes there's as many as 800 of them," he complained; ''so many that the draw won't work properly, and 1t most kills me try. ing to turn the crank. When holler at them to get off, they just holler back, and don't budge. They aren't ugly, but they won't mind. They all come - mothers and babies, fellows and girls, and sometimes they bring a hurdy. gurdy and dance while the bridge swings round. It's fun for them, but it's death to me. It's got to be stopped or I'll resign. The city didn't hire me to run a whirli- gig side show to circus"
