SOME RICH ARE SLOW PAY
Notorious Fact Declares Writer That
Many in Society Haggle Over
Their Bills.

1t is notorious that the rich are
often scandalously slow in paying
their bills. / recall one instance
where the wife of multi-million-
aire (she was afterward divorced,
took no notice, month after month,
of a bill amounting to over $780,
600 for her daughters wedding
trousseau, and this bill was not
paid rmore than a year after the
ceremony, and only then because
a resourceful collector "held up
the multimillionaire himself in the
street one day, and finally got his
check, declares Cleveland Moffett,
in Success.
have been told of several rich
women in the smart set, two of
them very rich, who are wont to
haggle over prices in the shops as
if they were in genteel poverty.
one of these ladies, whose SNOWY
Newport fetes are widely pro-
claimed, tried on a certain occa-
sion, to cheat down" an estimate
for candle shades, favors, etc.,
that she wanted in hurry for
dinner dance, and, having failed
inherefort, she finally exclaimed:
"Why, you oughtn't to charge me
a cent for these things! Think OF
the advertising you can get out of
it! If you treat me right I'll SEE
that your place is mentioned by
all the reportersp'
And another, whose husband is
one of the richest men in the
world, actually wept before a
Fifth avenue dressmaker in her
pleadings for a reduction of SIS on
the price of certain garment that
she simply had to have but could
not afford, she declared, out of the
small allowance made her by her
husband.
1
When I was in Newport last
summer people were laughing at
the latest petty economy of this
same husband, who is certainly
one OF the CLOSEST" of our idle mil
| iionaires. He had heard of a new
aluminium paint, warranted to
keep shiny without much rubbing,
and he had forthwith given orde-s
that the brasses on his beautifal
yacht be smeared over with tbs
paint so that it might reduce his
pay roll by the wages of two sail
ors previously needed to clean
these brasses! This gentleman's
income must be at least $4,000,
| 900!

Our Blessings.

A few days ago A. G. White. of this
city received a.letter from anIold friend,
Perry S. Carter, who resides in Des
Moines. Iowa, telling something OF con-
ditions in thatss part of the world. To
digress trifie, we.may state incidental.
ly, that few of us who haye our abode in
Oregon realize to any considerable de-
gree the blessings ins the way OF climate
that have come unto us in our daily pur.
suit of life, liberty and happiness We
are not in the belt where tightening
strikes nor are We likely to get wrapped
up in the tail of cyclone.
Of course we have some rain, but We
could not Go without it. Many of us
are lulled to slumber on the long winter
nights by the sound of one raindrop
after another sliding off our roofs and
plunking onto the porches. But by
way of recalling our blessings, We must
again refer to an excerpt from Mr.. Car
ter's letter. The writer believes in
brevitysand is terse in dealing with
facts. HeEsays:

Il. McCook, in Harper's Magazine.

Then her huntress instinct awak-

this will hatch into a ravenous

MANY ENGLISH in MEXICO.
Increasing Use of Language in South
ern Republic Makes Convex
sation Easier.

The increasing use and knowl-
edge of the English language in
Mexico must not be considered by
foreigners who propose to do busl-
ness in Mexico as relieving them
from necessity of knowing Span
ish. For those who come in direct
contact with the masses in any
way the native language is still
very essential, and will always be.
The amount of English that can
be heard by the visitor in the
main street of this capital city is
apt to be misleading. 1t is not
necessary to journey to the inte-
rior of the country to reach a Sec
tion where English is neither
heard nor understood. By walk
ing a few squares either to the
right or left, away from the beat
en- track of the tourist and the
foreigner, one readily encounters
the Mexico that must be spoken
to in Spanish. AS has been
said many times, it is more
important that the man who
comes to Mexico should know
thoroughly his own business
than that he should have a fluent
knowledge of Spanish. Ignorance
of his business is quickly detected
by those with whom he has to deal,
and at once discredits him, yet he
may employ the services of an in
terpreter without offense..
Many people who are not init
mately acquainted with condi-
tions in the Spanish islands that
have recently y come under the con-
troll of the United States imag-
inc that they will be readily
Americanized. They do not know
what long process is required
to change the language and the
customs of a race. 1t will not be
done in generation, nor in many
of them. Children born of Ameri-
can parents in Mexico invariably
learn to speak Spanish before they
do English, and it must naturally
| follow that local customs are to
them more familiar than those of
their parents. The new dependen-
cies, and the constantly growing
! trade relation between the United
| States and Spanish-speaking
countries, make it most desirable
that the education of the young
men of the United States should
include thorough course in Span
ish. Many young men in coming
| years will find knowledge OF
Spanish a valuable asset oftheil
| stock in trade.

General Vadenoff was in his room at
Headquarters in Manchuria. His room was
both large and beautiful. In an easy chair
near the table was seated the General, ad-
miring the accounts of himself in Russian
newspaper.
1t was night and all was still; nothing
could be heard except the tread of the senti-
mel below The soldiers were in camp half
mile away yet any move can be seen at once
from large window in the Generals room.
1t was near midnight when the door
opened and Colonel Romensky, saluting the
General, walked in, dragging a soldier be-
hind him.

CHANGE POLICY ON PHILIPPINES.
President Takes First Step Toward
Law Revision.

President Roosevelt's reference to
the Philippine question in his speech
at Atlanta, 1t is learned, indicates the
nature of legislation TO be proposed by
his friends in congress this winter.
A bill Is to come out of the ways and
means committee providing for the
free entry into this country Of Philip
pine products, and also opening the
islands to investment. The restrictions
at present imposed are to be swept
away.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference in his
speech to unfortunate measures
which have seriously, in some respects
vitality, hampered the development Of
the Philippines" marks his first step
away from the policy of THE Philip
pines for the Fflipinos."
He serves notice that the policy ex.
Guiding capital has failed. The Phil
ippines need capital, and there are
two ways of securing it. One is by
alienation of the tariff arrangement
which now levies heavy burden upon
Philippine products exported to the
United States. Another is by remov-
some of the restrictions which have
prvented the direct investment Of CAPT.
tai by individuals or corporations from
the states.

LIVE INSIDE A eULLPEN.
Thousand People Are to Be Shut OF
From World,

South Deering, busy little settle
ment south Of South Chicago, awoke
recently to a new epoch in its history.
The big coke ovens of the Semeth Sci.
way Coke company sprung into life and
mode of life for employees began like
that in frontier settlements. A grim
stOckade surrounded the entire plant.
Three hundred Hungarian and Aus
trian employees, with their families, a
population of 1000 souls, will live and
labor within the walls. practically cut
off from the outer world save for an
occasional newspaper or letter from
friends. The stockade surrounds 60
acres. The rules are as follows:
mo employe will be allowed outside
the gates without permission.
"Curfew will ring at 9 o'clock and
every man, woman and child must be
within the enclosure by that time.
"All entertainment will be provided
by the company.
Employees must not attend dances
or other entertainments outside the en-.
closure"
A dance hall was opened with a big
ball for the workers. The object Of
the stockade is to keep employees free
from the low saloons and dance halls
that get their wages.
