in the afternoon came in the evening
and the festivities continued until a
late hour.
The Leader joins with the many
friends of the charming bride and
groom in wishing them long life and
a happy one.

What makes" a Man.

The college that famous man had

awarding to them just the proper

alumni. But however good or bad .

dividends distributed by these COM

COLORADO.
No Abiding Glass of Rich Men.


1t is quite unnecessary in this coun-
try to feel alarm about the rise of a
permanent class of very rich people,
declares Charles w. Eliot in Worlds
Work. To transmit great estates Is
hard. They get divided or dispersed.
The heirs are often unable to keep
their inherited treasures, or If, by the
help of lawyers and other hired agents,
they manage to keep them they cease
to accumulate and only spend. This Is
one of the natural effects on his chill
,dren OF the very rich mans mode OF
life. With rarest exceptions the very
rich men of to-day are not the sons oil
the very rich men Of 80 years ago, but
are new men. 1t will be the same &c
years hence. The wise rich father will
try to put his sons into thoAe beneh-
cent professions and occupations which
have strong intellectual and moral in
terest, and in which pecuniary inde-
penderce is a distinct advantage. Such
are the public service in elective or ap-
pointive offices, the ministry, scientific
research, social service, and the man
agement of charities and of serviceable
endowed institutions. Inherited wealth
enables young men to devote them
selves early to these fine employments
which are not pecuniarily remunera-
tive but yet possess the highest sort OF
interest and offer all the rewards OF
beneficent influence among men. From
persons SO occupied, from the ranks
of the learned and scientific profess
sions, and from the more intellectual
and useful sorts of business the high
est class OF each generation in DEM
ocracy is in large measure recruited.
The new-made very rich may not be-
long to this class. The chances are
against them unless they prove them
selves men of distinction both men
tally and morally.
One OF the best tests of the worth oi
free institutions is their capacity to
produce a numerous class of superior
persols-rich, well-off, comfortable, OF
just seif-supporting-a class larger in
proportion and more meritorious than
any other form of government has pro-
duced. All signs indicate that the
American democracy will meet this
test.
