THE RICH PAUPER.

An eastern metropolis has a rich
man who believes that he is a pauper.
That is a delusion which has no sug-
gestion of the typical form of paresis.
goes forth into the streets to vend
cheap wares, in order to earn liveli-
hood. believing that he is poor and
dependent appears to be past all hope.
He is too unhuman to be successful
and happy, or to be happy without be-
ing successful.
The case furnishes contrast, how
ever, in conditions of life, which proves
that the universal custom is right, at
least relatively, and that many of the
absurdities and eccentricities are not
as much wrong as they seem to be.
The average man is not literally en-
dowed with this worlds goods and
probably never will have the oppor-
tunities that have confronted the re-
publican party; but he does not hasten
to the. corner and ask the policemen
to tell the neighbors that he and his
family are starving.
The rich pauper of the eastern me-
tropolis is un-American. How foolish
it is to have money and not know the
truth. How much better is it to take
the other extreme and have no bank
account and no money in the domestic
Golfers, to owe a little at the bar,
grocery and drug store, and yet to be
firmly convinced that CrOesus was
poor in comparison.
Enthusiasm and imagination. but
not necessarily in a paretic degree,
are excellent substitutes for riches;
and there are very few of US in this
country-perhaps only One-who are
not qualified to convince ourselves
that we are rich and to force conVlc-
ton on our neighbors. 1t was just
chat the rich pauper, in the eastern
metropolis, should be taken into Gus
tody. He was all wrong.

Will Give Prize to Some WaIIa WaIIa
Woman.

The Woman's Lewis and Clark club
of Columbia county has notified the
Lewis and Clark commission that it
will, between this time ana the open
ing of the exposition, put up in pint
cans a large amount of all the kinds
Of fruits and berries grown in Column
bia county, for free distribution among
the visitors from other states. Each
can will bear the label of the variety
contained and where it was grown.
These cans will be placed in the Ore
gon building and will be under the
charge of some persons who are ac-
quainted with the resources of the
country. 1t is expected that other
similar organizations throughout the
state will follow suit to the end that
enough of the canned goods can be
furnished to most effectively adver-
tise the advantages Of the state in that
line.
In this connection Colonel Frank j.
Parker one of the commissioners for
the exposition from this state, an
nounces that he will offer a prize of
s25 for the best lot of II cans of fruit
put up by a Walla Walla woman. He
is DESTROYS of Walla Walla county
making an exhibit at the Portland fair
and believes that it can be done in this
manner. He says that ne stands ready
to give the prize provided a sufficient
number of ladies will enter the compe-
tition. 1t will not cost more than 25
cents to purchase the cans and the
only thing the ladies will have to do
is to PIT up the fruit.
