Mr. Waterbury takes the lead easily
in the MISTER Of lavish expenditure and
entertaining At BraaI Castle, the
Caithness-shlre property OF Sir Tolle-
mache Sinclair, he has a party OF be-
tween fifty and sixty American friends.
Big Expenses.
He has paid $4,000 for the right OF
shooting over the moors and the use of
the castle for the grouse season, and it
IS estimated that with travelling eX-
penses. the hire OF dogs guns. and the
wages Of bcaters, and other incidentals
his expense viii not fan short OF am
other $500 a week
George C. Fowler, OF New York, has
rented 1000 acres at COignafearL FOR
$4,000 for the seasOs, and he, too, is
bringing q big party OF American and
Partisan friends up TO the Scottish
Highlands.
BrOomhead IN Yorkshire, one OF the
best moors iu the British isles. was
taken early in the year by a syndicate
of American gentlemen. with Frank
Bibby, OF Chicago. at their head. The
prospects Of a good grouse season were
not then encouraging, with the result
that the moors were secured for mere
song. The syndicate has cleared $4,000
over the deal
Moors in Ireland.
This same syndicate is preparing to
exploit Wales and ireland In anticipa-
sion Of next season. Irish mOors can
now be acquired at rfdicuIousIy low hg
ures. and 1t is the intention OF the syn
dicate TO bug them up and place them
under proper protection.
Mr.. Waterbury has an idea that
grouse may flourish In the United
States With this object in view he Is
making arrangements that quantity
Of eggs shall be sent out TO him next
year. He proposes TO try incuoatoFs
first, and If artificial means should fail
ne viii have recourse TO foster parents.
He is prepared TO spend $500 on the
experiment
A Life Of Ease.
Don Carlos. the Legitimist claimant
70 the crown of Spain. really gets T1uch
more enjoyment out Of life than If he
were seated on the throne Of his auces-
tors.
That exile and the attendant freedom
from worry agree with him is indicated
By his p0rtIy person and JOvial bearing.
II the truth were known it would prob
ably be found that he IS very well salts
fed with his present lot.
Also. that not a few of the hard
worked mouarchs OF Europe, who live
In a constant state of anxiety, would
gladly change places with him.
He recently returned 10 Venice and is
again occupying his palace, which. with
Its gondola posts painted In the Span
ish coIors, red and yellow, IS a con
gDicuous object on the Grand Canal
He has q beautiful electric launch iu
which ne fits about the aquatic city
with the royal standard of spain faunt-
ing above him.
In his palace he is surrounded by a
miniature court OF devoted adheTents
zho treat him with as much Obsequious
Difference as If he were a real king.
And il ne prefers the ease of speedy
automobile to being jolted iE an uu-
yYleIdy state coach there IS nobody 20
complain. as there was when poor Al
fonso showed his Partially for the mod
ern vehicle.
Don Carlos. I'm fact. seems to have
everything that makes a royal life worth
IivirE, with none OF the troubles that
rob it of it's pleasures. Naturally he
gives no indication OF any ardent desire
10 endauger his precious person by
heading a revolutionary movement IN
Spain.
Denounces Conventional Parlors.
That robust champion of democracy
and representative OF labor I'm Parlia-
meut, John Burns. has been giving his
views on domestic estneIiCs.
He deuouuCes I'm characteristic fash
ion the conventional parIor. which here,
as ia many parts OF America. is sup
posed to mark the first step in the
progress from tenement house poverty
to respectabiliJy.
ST hate front rooms" he says. eat
least front rooms that are maus0Icums
of Waxed Fruit useless busters. crowded
with autlmacassaTs and china dogs fur
niture not meant 20 Doe sat on, and books
not meant to be read,
You know the stuHy mildewy rooms
into which only the doctor, the under
takcr. and that man between the two
the persuasive life insurance agent. are
ever allowed to enter.
Rooms should be- for living i'm. not a
repository of useless and inartistic
things. as they too often are
"Yet. after ALL" be adds. ct don't
think that the wax fruits and antimac-
assars OF the average workman's front
parIor are worse than the milk stools
painted of c0urss-wiJh which you come
into contact iu drawing rooms of the
so-caIIed superior cIassi milk stools
which no miikmaid. who knew her bust
ness would usei and from which no
seIf-respeCtiHg COW. who really under
stood the dignity Of FER profession as a
mixer, would allow herself 90 be milk

To the question. what was the finest
room he had ever entered, he replied:
william Morris kitchen. at Ilelmscout
