one idea was to make money; now all he
thinks of is to spend the remainder of
his life in distributing wisely his i'm
mense wealth. To do this requires tai
entS of the highest order, quite as much
thought, concentration, patience, study
of human character and real intcllec-
tual labor as he put into the accUau-
lation of his fortune. Mr.. Rockefeller,
IN spit. Of his Gred. waa'th, hats led u

it. The two things he seems to enjoy
most, outside his family, are playing
golt ana hearing Or. Aksd preach.
The little heir to the throne of Spain,
the Prince of Asturias, is thriving Splen-
didly. and if the pictures of him seen
in the papers are to be trusted, is a
fine, handsome child. Around his lit
tie lace-decorated cradle cluster Il lot
of ceremonials as old as the history of
Spain itself. One of these is the morn
ing gathering of the ministers and
other high officials in the ante-chamber
of the palace at a certain, fixed hour
when they are admitted in body to
the royal nursery and allowed to gaze
upon the sleeping infant. The idea of
this custom is, | suppose, to convey to
the people the intelligence that the lit
tie Prince is still safe and sound and
has not been spirited away. On these
occasions the exquisite little socks, the
beautifully embroidered skirts, and the
robe of finest null trimmed with price
less lace which the royal babe is to
wear that day are exhibited to the visi
tors by the master of ceremonies, and
then handed to the nurses. The great
est care is taken not TO awaken the
sleeping babe. The same rules which
regulate all nurseries the world over in
this respect prevail there. Converse
ton is carried on in whispers. and these
Spanish grandees go around on their
tip-toes, just as everyone else does
when there is n sleeping baby around.
UnIuckiIy, the other day. during one of
these morning visits TO the royal nur-
sery. a court chamberlain let his sword
brush against something, and the little
Prince of Asturias opened his eyes and
began to yell. The unfortunate cham
berlain lost his position for this.

The Ravages of Time.

THE late Gov. Higgins" said New
York man. was talking sadly one Me-
mortal Day about times ravages among
the poor old veterans of the civil war.
All of a sudden he smiled quantity. He
said he was reminded of a thing that
happened once in Stanton, the Michigan
town where he was in business for some
years. He wished that this thing would
apply slightly to our veterans, but it
wouldn't.
"A circus man told him the story.
The man visited Stanton in its early
days, and in the midst of his perform
ance a storm arose, the great tent was
blown over and 80 people were injured.
"'Well, 20 years afterward.' said the
circus man, I returned to Stanton with
my show. l remembered the accident
that had attended my former visit, and
announced that all who had been in
jured by the fall of the tent would be
admitted to the first performance free.
But, alas! for times ravages,' the
circus man ended; 'of all those 80 in
jured only 270 had survived

remained obdurate, and ii was only
when the first wife-the public is not

One sees great deal in the papers
about the wonderful State of Texas, its
great size, rich soil. fine climate. etc.
etc. 1t has seemed to lack nothing but
enterpriSinS people to develop its re-
| sources. Now we are told that people
are pouring into all parts OF the State,
and that in some sections property that
| brot 81 an acre two years ago IS now
selling for $50. The large ranch lands
are being cut up into farms, and are
grabbed up as soon as put on the mar
ket. There are 50 many good towns all
over the State that no one can make a
mistake wherever he goes. The popu-
| lation of the cities IS increasing tremen-
dously, and all of them offer some spe-
| cial attraction. Ell Paso. however, is
the most promising Of all. and is con-
sidered by many people outside of
Texas as the city which offers the
greatest opportunities to young men of
any in the whole country. 1t is the
| gateway between Mexico and the United
States, and is the center of the greatest
mining region in the Western henis-
phere, as most of the important mines
are in New Mexico. Arizona and MeXi-
co, which are connected with I'll Paso
by her eight railroads. The city has
increased in population since the last
census from 5000 to $4,000, and with
in the next 10 years expects to reach
100000. Great things are looked for
from the Rio Grande Valley when it
has irrigation, as the rich soil of that
region only needs water to make it
bring forth in the greatest abundance.
There is plenty of wideawake North
ern and Western spirit in the town. and
such wonderful things are predicted
that ones head grows light in reading
of them.
Norman P. Cummings, one of Chi
cago's richest real estate men, has had
an uncommonly varied matrimonial ex-
perience even in this day of unusual
matrimonial experiences. The story
seems to begin with his second venture
and the choice Of his heart this time
was a famous Southern beauty whom,
it is said he bought from another man
for the rather mean sum of $1,000
Then he abused her, and she left him,
and in order to induce her to return to
him he spent thousands of dollars in
all sorts of ways, some of them most
curious, his gifts ranging all the way

"a SQUARE CONTEST" )"
Miss sallie Striking Delightfully."- En-

one OF the most elaborate affairs
or this seasons gayeties was de-
I'lightful luncheon to which Miss Sal.

testants thought so when they were
asked to draw man Of squares
and 4 straight lines" and "build a
house of z squares" There was no
concrete builder within reach, SO
each went to work to build one for
herself. This was nm excellent OPP
portunity to display ones artistic
talent, SO no one failed to do her
best, even If the result happened not
to be artistic. All were delighted
with this contest on account Of its
being original and amusing, as we'll
as instructive. AS soon as the names
were signed in as few suuares as pos
sible, the papers were taken uD, end
turned over to the square !udges.

Herrmit's Hidden Money.

Asheville, Special.-The executor
of the estate of the late William Joo
Cleveland, the "hermit," of Swan
nanoa township near Asheville, who
committed suicide recently at the age
of Sc years, has filed with the clerk
of the court an inventory of the es
tate. 1t is found that Cleveland left
nearly one thousand dollars, all Of
which wass~found buried about the
premises; also the farm in Swannanoa
and $40 shares Of stock in concerns
and corporations in Georgia, Alaba.
ma, New Jersey and North Dakota.
The par value of all the stock /;
more than ten thousand dollars. Al
though it has not yet been determined
just what market value of the hold
lngs will be. The old "hermit" lived
a beggarly life at his river home, sub
slstlng for the most part on canned
goods. He was generally regarded
as queer and the finding of nearly one
thousand dollars secreted on the pre-
misses causes no surprise. 1t is be-
lieved that there is still other money
hid about the place
