how the speaker avoided becom-
ing an ordinary plutocrat:
Canonn saw that. barring &C.

rich indeed. He was going to
wear clothes made for him instead
of for humanity in general. He
was going to build a stone house,

would be a. smooth bore and
nothing more.
when the Danville man had
finished mapping out this awful
fate, he vowed that, no matter
how rich be became, he would
never be an ordinary millionaire.
He would be neither a kid6nish-
ed plotocrat nor a wild and woody
new-rich. He would combine
the best feature of both into some
thing entirely new. He would
retain all the habits of honest pov-
erty which were comfortable and
would acquire all the tricks of
wealth which wern't uncomfor.

he could be without being ordi-
nary and as primeyal as he could
be without being eccentric. In
short, he would make a merge r
of luxury and simplicity
beside which Morgan's merger
of railroad of steel mills and Har.
riman's merger of railroads would
look childishly simple".
