ENDLESS PURSUIT OF WEALTH.

In the United States leaders in every line of activity, in politics and business, have been conspicuously prone to die, as it is said. in harness. The death of Mark Hanna is a case in point. But the list of those distinguished for their successful attainment of wealth anu fame, who have continued their activi- ties long after the advance of age and the diminution of physical strength must have warned them of the ap- preaching end, is a very long one. In the older countries of Europe, on whose civilization that of the United States is founded, it seems easier for men who have more or less successfully attained the object they aimed at to retire and |enjoy freely the prizes they have gained. although even there the old barbaric struggle is in many cases kept up to the end. Public opinion there too, is more tolerant of those who lay off the the harness before being compelled to do so by the decree of fate. In this country, however, there seems to exist in the mind of the ordinary man a cer- tain contempt for those who give up the strenuous paths of labor and ambi l. tion before their strength has wasted away. The successful men of the United States who have sprung from tho masses are imbued with this opin- ion. Until within the last twenty five years the idea of retiring from ac- tive life and settling down to life in which personal tastes and procilivitie3 could be followed was regarded as at least eccentric.
 There have always been two neces- sary steps to be taken before retirement from active life could with safety be accomplished; one was the acquire nent of wealth and the other provision for its safekepeing. As civilization progresses the second and more inn portant step can be more easily man. aged. The individual no longer has to depend upon his own efforts to guard the store set aside for his future sup port, The power of corporations. originally directed simply to the accu- mutation of wealth, is now to a very great extent applied to it's conserva- tism.
 In Great Britain there has always been wealthy leisure class, and nat urally there has been a systemtization or the manners and customs consequent on such an association of wealth and leisure. Public opinion is more toler-

been much complaint of the army shoe, mainly because it proved uncornfort able on the march, and there were times when men would rather go with out shoes than wear them. The com fort of the infantryman in the field be- comes Q vital matter of military stra- tegy. for the mobility of an army de- pends on its ability to get from one point to another without hindrance or delay The >new shoes is of the so- called Butcher style, with a bellows tongue, a high box toe, and made ac- cording to commercial lasts. so that almost any size and shape of foot may be accommodated. The old army lasts were of restricted sizes, and the plan was to have the soldiers foot fitted to the shoe rather than to have the shoe fitted to the foot. There are three styles of shoe-two types of garrison shoe, one of black leather and the oth- CT of russet, and a marching shoe, of stuffed russct, which is fitted with double soles. The shoes adopted for the army were practically tested by troops in the field for several months, and the reports received from army of- the new shoes. The shoes will be fur nished the army under contract, bids for which will be Invited by the quar- termaster general shortly.

One thing that people who rely on statistics often overlook, in compar- ing Arizona's mineral output with that of other countries, is the small population, says an exchange. This territory is third in the list of copper producing states, and add to the value of her copper product in money the four or five millions of gold annually produced and the silver, lead and other metals, and it is not unlikely that Ar izona is today producing more per capita from her mines than any other state. And not only this, but her out put is increasing more rapidly than that of any other state in the union.

RISE OF THE ToLsToIs.
Curious Story Told of the Famou
 Novelist,s Ancestor.

Curious Story Told of the Famous
 NoveIist's Ancestor.
 The following curious story of the Tolstoi family is retailed in one of the society papers, says London cable dispatch to the New York American: The founder of this family was in Pe- ter the Greats time a simple door, keeper before the apartments of the emperor. One day as he was standing at his post a nobleman approached and asked to be admitted. The door keeper, however, refused to let him in, declaring that the emperor had given positive orders that no one that afternoon was to be admitted to his presence.
 "But," said the noble. "I am the Prince --." ,
 "shll, cannot admit you, sir," said the doorkeeper.
 Exasperated, the nobleman struck his riding whip.
 Strike away, your highness," said the other, but nevertheless I cannot let you in."
 The tumult had been overheard by the emperor. He now opened the door and asked what the trouble was. The noble told him. He listened in silence, and then he said: "You, Tolstoi, were struck by this gentleman for obeying my orders. Here, take my stick and strike him back"
 But, your majesty" exclaimed the noble, ''this man is a common sol dierv'
 Then I make him captain" said the emperor.
 But I am an officer of your majes. tvs household.'
 T make him colonel of my life guards"
 My rank as your majesty knows, is that of general" protested the noble. man.
 "Then I make him general, too. and thus the beating you areAo get will l come from man of your own rank" The noble then took his punishment l philosophically. As for the young sol dier, he was next day commissioned a general and made count. From him the present family of the Tolstois is 1 said to be descended.
