We seldom hear of the enormous pri-
vate fortunes of the old world except
when an extremely rich man like the
Earl of GrOsvenOr, with his $4,000 900,
or the Duke Of Norfolk, whose income
Is $500 per day, dies and his possess
sions change hands. But in this coun-
try the millionaire is forever in the
public eye. Perhaps it is partly be-
cause he is new feature and partly
because he appears to be an interloper
out Of harmony with American institu-
lions and ideals However, they are so
pitifully few, only one in $1,000 Of the
population. that they would cut but a
small figure in affairs if their fellows
did not exaggerate their Importance by
kotOwing to their dollars When men
are estimated by what they do instead
of by what they have the mere million

toes"

Mutinies That Are Vain.

The fighting sections of the Russian
revOlutiOnists more resemble the
French reds of the commune than
the Jacobins of 1892. who. with all
their faults and crimes, had a saving
Idea of government. Russian soldiers
and sailors mutiny and are promptly
suppressed. Naturally they start with
an advantage. The mutiny is sur
prise to their opponents, and for the
mOment-for hours, it may be-things
go the way of the mutineers. But in
the supreme crisis, when order, disci-
pline and cooperation are needed to
match these same qualities In the
ranks of the government forces. the
rebels are all at sea. To suppress
them is easy. They do not hang to-
gether.
Doubtless the quick suppression of
mutinies by the strong and relentless
arm of the government increases the
popular rage and may eventually for
ward and not retard the revolutionary
movement. But mutiny may follow
mutiny only to meet the usual fate
suppression. Under competent leaders
the mutineers might form in nucleus
around which the people could rally.
but q mob can make no permanent
showing against disciplined troops.
Even a mob largely made up of revolt
ed soldiers fights no better than a
common street rabble, for it is system
more than Individual temper which

The Millionaire Crop.

Although America holds nearly one
half of the millonaires of the world.
the number that has sprouted in this
soil is comparatively small, being but
5,O27 in a population of over SO,OOO,OOO.
Half a century ago there were but
twenty five individuals in New York
whose wealth reached $1,O0O,OOO and
upward Now there are 1900 of them
in that city alone. The discovery Of
gold, the civil war with it's fat con-
tracts and the exploitation Of the oil
fields and mines gave the passion for
money an impetus in this country that
has not ceased. The vast fortunes Of
today in America have, with rare eX-
ceptions, been created from nothing by
the generation holding them. Europe
stands next to America in the number
Of millionaires, but, as a rule, these
nabobs inherited wealth that has been
accommodating for generations. The
car is accounted Millionaire, and the
shah of Persia is not far behind the
autocrat Of the north in point Of
wealth, for Muzaffar practically alb
serbs all the wealth of his realm.

Suddenly he felt a singing sensation
sharp that he jerked his hand away
as quickly as possible. Looking at a
saw a large, ugly creature crawling
away, which he later described as a
big spider.
He paid very little attention to the
affair until the next day, when his
hand began to swell and the pain was
of such a nature that he consulted a
physician. Gradually the pain be-
came SO intense that he suffered con-
tinually, and his condition became
more precarious.
Death relieved his suffering Satur-

residents of that town that the spider
in question was a tarantula that had
made its escape from a bunch of ba-

aanas that had been unpacked at ONE

that it will not be owing to any wish
expressed or implied of the deceased,

they excited as possible sources of rev.

The Texas navy was created in 1885,
when Henry Smith was provisional

They preyed upon Mexican commerce,

their captured booty and supplies did

establishment aside from supporting
themselves.
This navy was gradually strength

good staunch fighting ships. The flag
ship was the Austin, carrying the en-
SIGN of Commodore Edwin Warde
Moore. The others were Zarala, San
Antonio. the San Jacinto, the San
Bernard and brig Dolphin. 1t was
the mission of that fleet to make as
much trouble for Mexico as possible,
AMI when in 1910 the province of Yu-
c3tan went into revolt President La
mar of Texas ordered Commodore
Moore to help the revolutionists, and

on the ground that most of his pri-
yate fortune had been expended in re-

soon after this the Texas congress
decided that il did not need any navy
