WHEN THE OPULENT BECOMES PENUR|OUS Women Garry Stinginess to
 Great Lengths SEEK TO BLIND PUBLIC With Most People the Habit of "Scrlmpine" Is Often Interpreted
 as Form of Expenditures.
 Love of Lucre.
SEEK TO BLIND PUBLIC
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 There are people h this world, either young, old or middle aged, that are blessed with great wealth and never by any chance open the doors of happiness to others with their golden keys. Their love of their lucre is such that they can not bring themselves to spend even one cent in any way that appears to them unnecessary.
 With the very old this habit of mind can be and often is interpreted as a form of forgetfulness. The tottering millionaire la supposed to have long since buried all knowledge of the fact that even every day pleasures are a drain on a slender purse, and that many of his less fortunate relatives could be made very happy by small check, with an accompanying command to go and have a good time with the few dol lars it stands for. Such checks and words of cheery good will are seldom forthcoming, and when the man dies he goes to the other world unmourned.
 When a rich person is really born stingy," as the saying goes, 1t is hard to imagine a more disagreeable acquain- tance to have any degree of intimacy with. The stinginess seems to have entered every fiber of his or her being and to have brought with 1t distrust for all mankind. In course of time this excessive care as to cost extends to the smallest item in the household expenses, from every department, even though an outward show Is maintained.
 Blind for Public.
 This by no means blinds the public, for no fact becomes more quickly known or is more freely commented on than stinginess. Scrimping without cause makes those who suffer from it furious, and to talk about it is the form revenge generally takes
 If anything can be more despicable than a stingy man it is stingy woman,

Fashion Notes.
From Judge.

From Judge
 A butcher dressed to kill, should wear stunning effects in the matter of waist coats. He should have a cutthroat col lar. He could secure such an outfit to ad- vantage at any place where prices are slaughtered.
 A woman desiring to hold the affections of her husband must wear the clinging drapes. However, husbands of rich wom- en sometimes relish a looseness in the figures of their wives Every married woman, rich or poor, should keep up on the sty>8s of mems garments, as the de- ceitful creatures sometimes try to con ceal the location of their pockets.

HEIR TO MILLIONS HELD
PRISONER FOR IL YEARS

Sharon, Pa.-Charles Beboul, re-
ported to have been confined for IL
years in a filthy room at Wheatland,
where he was found recently by a
constable. is said to be one of the
heirs to the millions Of Nancy Beboul,
who died a short time ago in st. Louis.
Constable HALLS, of South Sharon,
who discovered Bebouls condition, is
in receipt of a letter from Attorney
Frank C. Vaughan, of st. Louis, re-
garding the whereabouts of Beboul.
Frank Beboul, who left his home at
Wheatland many years ago, Is now
connected with a st. Louis newspa-
per. Vaughan has been engaged by
him to find Nancy Beboul's heirs. 1t
was while on Handling copy" at his
desk that Frank Beboul heard of his
brothers plight at Wheatland. The
two were ignorant of each others
whereabouts. Charles Beboul is a
son of Mrs. E. d. Mathews. of Wheat
land, by a former marriage. At a
hylring held after the finding of
Beboul. Mrs. Mathews said her son
was irrational and was kept alone

in the county home at Mercer, where
he is improving gradually. It is
thought he will be taken to St. Louis
later to claim his share of the estate
