MODERN CROESUS A ST. PAUL MAN
Richest Man in the World, Saws a
Magazine Writer.

The richest man in the world lives
in st. Paul. Richer than James j.
Hill, than Morgan, or Leopold of
Belgium or Rockefeller.
If you don't believe it read the Jan
uary issue of the Cosmopolitan maga
zine, wherein Charles P. Norcross, in
a review of Frederick Weyerhaeuser,
says St. Paul's little heard Of resident
is richer than any of the worlds here
tofore accredited rich men.
The author calls Mr.. Weyerhaeuser
Gland grabber," and says he has
followed some of the illegal acts Of
other captains of industry" but,
nevertheless, hands him the palm as
the worlds richest man.
Lumber and foresight.
That's how Mr.. Weyerhaeuser did
it.
He owns about all the forests there
are left in the United States and has
in his Golfers the proceeds in hard
shekels from the sale of the timber cut
from about all the forests there ever
Were.
And his holdings are advancing il
value by unparalleled leaps anC
bounds.
/ Here's how fast his coin is coming
in:
/ One piece of yellow pine land hele
ten years ago at 5000 is unobtain
able at S750,000 today. Another trac
of spruce and hemlock purchased fv,
years ago for $4,000 was recent,
sold for S500,00O.
! So, you see, if Mr.. Weyerhaeuse

Col. Corriston had charge of the
police work in Manila for several
months. Now he is about to become
chief Of police in Minneapolis and the
Tribune of that city makes this sugges-
ton: 1.-The purpose of policing Ma
Mia was to keep order, not to purify
morals. That is where the new chief
must modify his attitude, if he is to
give universal satisfaction in Mime
apolis.'' Outsiders generally will feel
that the man who does no more than
keep order in the Flour City will have
more than performed his duty.

The long retirement of Joseph Cham
berlain, the great British political
leader, has led to constant assertions
and contradictions regarding the
gravity of his condition. The London
Chronicle states that he greatly over
taxed his strength at the celebrations
in honor of his seventicth birthday
with the result that he has completely
lost his memory.
