The Real Hetty Green.

Herbert Corey in Cincinnati Times-Star.
 Nix on that bunk about Hetty Green. The country has stood for the yellow newspapers of New York and their rawlings about this richest woman in the world" about long enough. AS matter of fact, Hetty is "hep" to all the refinements of luxury, has been all her life, and never saw the day when she was in sight of poverty. She may amuse the reporters by pretending that she is surprised at the sight of silken tapestries and oriental rugs, but there never was minute when the old lady wasn't about as classy as they make 'em. Just because she went to a $15-a-day apartment at the Plaza, tho hydrophobic sheets have been frothing at the mouth bit of late. They as- sume that the modest little $19-a-month flat she has been occupying in Hobo ken is her limit, and that she felt her self out of her class in the Plaza Whereas, Mrs. Green, as a young woman, was surrounded by everything which wealth could give. She lived iu some of the finest houses in her old home in Massachusetts, and was the daughter of patrician family. In New York she has made her home at sev- eral very unpretentious, but very ex- pensive hotels, notably one in Brook lyn. She never spared money, and, as rug expert found out some time ago, when he thought to "sting" her, she is posted on these accessories of fash ion as not one rich woman in a million is. She lived in her Hoboken flat be- cauSp she wanted tO when she tired of hotel life. But the picture of Mrs. Green as a sort of Apple Mary" as the New York papers delight to paint her. is not only grossly untrue, but grotesquely foolish. An educated, re- fined, extremely intelligent woman, she Is an eccentric along certain lines. But don't believe any one who tells you that she can't keep up her end in the Plaza. She's there with the fuss" whenever she needs to be

keeI s! Now he can study Greek in tho morning with Father Joseph and in the afternoon take lessons in sorcery from Mother Feldheimer''
 "IIe is a common fellow" said the Countess, "and it is nothing for laughter. It is disgrace for us that the Count of Zollern should associate with such people. He has that trait from his mother. His father would turn in his grave if he knew it.
 Yes" said Little Rogue. Father would growl: Know all about it. Rubbsh!'" "
 Count Kuno of Zollern-5tag Burg tried many times thereafter to win his broth- CTS l.earts. Failing in everything else he resolved to appeal to their desire for a lake that he owned. It lay almost equal ly distant from each of the three castles and was full of pike and carp. The broth CTS were keen anglers and always had been wroth that the water had been left to Kuno.
 He invited them to meet him there one morning and proposed to them that they share it.
 "Why, how gracious!'' said the Rogue. And what must we give in return??"
 You shall have it for nothing said Kuno. q merely want to see you and speak with you now and then. We arc one fathers sons.''
 There's nothing so stupid as fishing in company" said the Rogue. "One man scares the other mans fish. Let Us ar range separate days for each. That will suit me best"
 q don't want presents said the gloomy Wolf, ''nor do I choose to share with any one. Rogue and l really ought to own this lake Let us throw dice for it."
 ''Ho, ho!'' laughed the Rogue "The pious Kuno won't throw dice. Suppose we the lake who has the most fish when the Zollern clock strikes 12
 q am fool to fight for my own prop erty." said Kuno, but to show you that I am sincere in wishing to share I will do it'
 The twins galloped home and sent out all of their servants to hunt for bait Kuno took bait that the dame prepared for him. When the three brothers met at the lake again he gave them the choice of places, and they began to fish.
 It was as if the fish knew who was the rightful possessor of the lake Within three hours he had great mass of pike and carp at his feet. He stopped and went to see what his brothers were doing. The Rogue had one little carp and two mis- erabe white fish. Wolf had two tiny gud- geons and three bream. Both were look inp gloon,iIv at the nile of fish at Kuno's

he departed from the place of his birth, was a fine, stately castle, but he felt sad ly alone and sadly homesick. One day when the twins had reached their 18th year they sat on the terrace with their mother and saw tall knight riding toward Hohenzollern with re- tinue of servants and squires Beautiful mules drew a handsome litter. Why" said the Countess, "it is our stupid Kuno. No doubt he has come to invite us to Stags Burg. That litter is evidently for me. I never would have credited my stupid sir son with so much polteness. Let us go down and welcome him. Perhaps he will make us some pret- ty gifts. I always have wanted the gems that his mother left behind" "Ill be hanged if I would take a pres- ent from stupid Kuno," growled the taller twin, Wolf. "I wish he would follow our honored father; then we would inherit Stag's Burg and everything else, and we would sell you the gems cheap, dear lady mother"
 Miserable fellow" exclaimed the Coun- tess" Sell me the jewels? Is that your gratitude to me for obtaining Hohenzol- Tern for you? You wln give me the jewels, won't you, little Rogue?"
 "The only thing that is given away, mother" said the Rogue laughing, "is death. If the jewels are worth as much as a whole castle as they say, we won't be the fools who would give them to you. As soon as Kuno dies we will ride to his castle, share and share alike, and I will sell my share of the jewels. If you offer as much as the merchants you may have it."
 The Countess swallowed her rage, for they had reached the portal and Kuno ap- preached them. With a sweet voice and gracious smile she said:
 How kind of our son to visit us! What a beautiful litter! It is good enough for the Empress. You are extremely consid- crate"
 'Yes," said Kuno. T thought that Fa- ther Joseph, our dear old chaplain, is too old to ride horse all the way to Stag's Burg I have come for him, as I intend that he shall spend his remaining days with me. I am going to take old Dame Feldheimer, too. She is very, very old and feeble now, and as she saved my life I wish to take care of her till she dies"
 Wolf bit his lips in rage, the Countess turred pale with anger and the Rogue burst into laughter. Scarcely had Kuno left them to get the chaplain before he said: What will you give me for the present Kuno gave me? Will you give me yours. Wolf? What fine company he

Bankers Denounced in
Charge Of Conspiracy
Delaware Man Alleges Secret
Plan TO Compromise on Aid
rich Bill Despite Opposition

WASHINGTON. April 1e.-In pic
turesque language. at times violently
denuneiatory. Alfred 0. Crozier OF
Wilmington, Del. today told the house
committee on banking and currency
that he had unearthed a secret scheme
for a compromise on the Aldrich cur
rency bill He intimated plainly that the
members of the currency commission
and the American bankers association
did not act fairly with the banking and
currency connmittee in unanimously op-
posing the Afdrich bill yesterday.
While opposing the bill ION princi-
pie he said. the members of that
commission objected to it because the
emergency currency was to bear per
cent interest and are ready to support
it now If the interest is reduced to 9
per cent.
Last evening our distinguished
banking friends had a conference. he
said. To-day they are having another
with the wicked promoters of the
wicked Aldrich and vreeland bills.
What for? They are agreeing on a
compromise. on what basis? Just a
simple little amendment reducing the
tax to 5 per cent and some other minor
changes"
He declared that this conference was
held only after it was stated that the
hearings before the banking and cur
rency committee had been closed.

guished bankers who addressed you
yesterday had not mistaken me last
evening for one of their fraternity and
unreservedIy told me the whole pro-
gram. the trick would have been turned
quickly and suddenly. The business

have known that they had been sold
