What Doth it Profit.

& Charles T. Yerkes, -traction mag
ldkte, multi-millionaire, patron of art
and citizen OF the world, died the
other day as the worm dieth. His
death chamber was one Of the costli
est apartments in one OF the greatest
hotels on earth. Surrounding him
was every comfort and luxury and
every means OF combating the grey
spectre that mere wealth could COM
msnd and yet he went into the I'M
known a stranger and one afraid. 1t
was for the lack of high things that
money cannot buy that the death OF
this man was terrible. He was as
completely alone as the outcast who
dies in noisome alley. Those who
were with him at the end were the
men OF science who were there as a
part OF the days work, and few 9TH
ers who preyed upon the riches that
were his. It is true that at the last
hour the wife whom he had wronged,
relented and came to be near him
at his departure. but it is impossible
that she was prompted by any other
feeling than that of common human
ity, or desire to comply with the
established customs of society. She
certainly did not act out of feelings OF
love or respect for the man whom the
whole world mathematics for his
conduct toward her.
30 Charles T. Yerkes died without
kith or kin to mourn min. Without
q applying tear shed for him; without
one final hand-clasp OF love. For
yesrs, through the sheer power OF his
genius for getting money, fer setting
afoot large enterprises and controlling
men, he had been big figure in the
world. Great cities were his play.
things and he rode rough shod with
the brute-selfshness of millions in
bis heart, over men and women and
little children. He was a typical
product OF these latter days. A typi-
cal darling of the Great God, man.
mon. He made some pretense Of
philanthropy, but it was not enough
that he toss the crumbs from his
table to those whom he despised
He was bad in his heart, and the true
philanthropist must have the heart Of
q little child. He defied all the moral
laws. He lived within himself the
personification OF all things selfish
He took no thought OF his fellow men
except as he might use them to amass
more wealth.
Charles. T. Yerkes was a failure
By no process Of reasoning can his
life be declared a successful one. He
died rich as Midas. Yes, but he died
% the worm dieth. "What doth it
profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?"

Where there's cottonwood an pine

Bitter-root and prickley- pear;
Where there amt no pomp nor glitter;
Where shillin's called "bit;"
Where at night the magpies twitteri
Where our Injun fights were fit.
Take me where the sage is plenty;
Where there's rattle snakes an

Where 4 stack OF "whites" costs

Where they don't cell gilded bricks
Where the old Missouri river
An the muddy Yellowstone
Make green patches in the Bad Lands
Where old Sittin' Bull was known.
Take me where there amt no subways
Nor no forty-story shacks,
where they shy at automobiles,
Dudes, plug hats an three-rai
tracks;
Where the old sun-tanned prospecto
Dreams OF wealth an pans his dirt
Where the sleepy night-herd punches
Sings to steers an plies his quirt
Take me where there's diamond hitch
es,
Ropes an brands an cartridge belts
Where the boys wear Snaps TO

Flannel shirts an Stetson felts,
Land OF Alkali an copperl
Land of sapphire an OF gold!
Take me back to dear Montana,
Let me die there when Pm old.
