A MILLIONAIRE'S Wife
And What She Spends-A Com
parisOn, and What Riches
Will Not Buy.

People who have to practice the
scrimping economies and study ways
and means of keeping the wolf from
the door, often think how delightful
and desirable must be the lot in
the life of the millionaire and his
family. They forget the proverbial
wisdom that tells Us that a dinner Of
herbs and contentment Herewith is
better than a stalled OK where dis
cord mars the feast
It isn't necessary 10 have much in
order to be exhuberantly happy, and
very often those who are, in the
worlds eye, well eff in so far as
material possessions are concerned,
are mentally and spiritually poverty
stricken-their dispositions prevent
the serene and equitable enjoyment Of
life's blessings; their search for
amusement, though frantic. is in vain,
for time still hangs heavy on their
hands and they do not realize chat
there is no lasting pleasure in luxu-
rious idleness, for rest brings tran
guilty and peace only after honest
and unremitting labor.
The story of Howard Gould's mar
riage offers a text for the moralist.
Mrs. Gould has been explaining in
court how expensive it was in terms
Of dollars and icents-not counting
cost in lives squandered and fritz
ted away in Incidence. The decora-
lions for one room of the yacht, which
compares with Cleopatra's old barge,
cost $4,000. Eighty men and women
were employed at Castle Gould, at
once. Two automobiles cost $4,000
each. Mrs. Gould had bought $4,000
worth OF jewelry at one time-had
spent S21.OO on one occasion at a
Partisan merchants and S2O.570 at one
fell swoop for millinery but in no
case could she remember what the
money went for. Presumably the
amounts involved were not large
enough to make a distinct impression.
In ten years, from 1898 to 1908, Mr..
Gould had given his wife $775,9Ss,
and out of this sum she had spent
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum on
dress-and yet she was not happy.
The fact simply goes to prove that
happiness is not wholly dependent
upon houses and lands, carriages and
horses, good things to eat and mag
nificent apparel. How different is
the disposition which Helen Gould,
living a simple transformations life in a
quiet country town, has made of her
share Of the great fortune left by
Jay Gould to his children.

Persons who have been in a Circuit
Court room anywhere in the Sixth
judicial District and observed the
manner in which things proceed
along" with Judge Thomas Firman
Birkhead on the bench, know that, in
point OF trying cases with dispatch
and saving expense to the Common
wealth. he is one of the best Judges
that has ever been on the bench in
this district. He has, ir fact. clean
ed up the dockets to such an extent
that there is little left for a court
to do.
Some who have watched the rapid
grind OF the court over which Judge
Birkhead presides may have been in
clined to think that there was not
sufficient elaboration and that some
thing Of judicial caution and certain
ty as to the law was being sacrificed
for the benefit of brevity.
1t seems, however, to be an estab-
lished fact that Judge Birkhead
knows the law. Probably not another
Circuit Judge in the Commonwealth
Of Kentucky has so good record as
to cases on appeal. During the year
1906, twenty-nine cases decided by
Jddge Birkhead were taken to the
Court of Appeals. OF these twenty
nine, twenty-five were affirmed by
the court OF last resort in the State.
Four were reversed. This is a rec
ord Of more than elghty-six per cent.
of decisions in appealed cases at

WOMEN OF EGYPT
FIGHTING HAREM
Demand the Civil Rights
of Christians.
WANT THE PRIVILEGE OF SEX
And a Voice in Choosing
Their Husbands Ma
ti0hal Uprising.

Cairo. Egypt, June 1S.-Mohamme-
dan women of Esypt, including mem
bers of the khedivial, or reigning fam
lily, have started a campaign to win
for their sex the right to have a
voice in choosing husbands. to put
aside the veil which hides their beau
ty, and to pass ut will the doors of
the harem, although their steps may
lead to precincts where men abound.
Conservative leaders are agitated and
the native press is discussing the
movement as of paramount i'm
portance.
There was a meeting recently in
the grand opera house of upward of
1000 women representing the cream
of society. Speeches were made by
Princess Aisha and others of prom
inence, which brought out unani-
nous vote for resolutions demanding
freedom from harem life, the aboli-
ton of the veil, permission to be
in the society of men, and the right
to be courted.
The resolutions have been forward
ed to the khedive and his cabinent. A
permanent organization has been
formed and branches are being estab-
lished throughout Egypt.
The ultra-conservative Mohamme-
dan press is sounding the alarm
against IAN Infusion OF European
ideas into the sanctity of the harem.'
The Christians, both native and for
eign, view the movement with UNI
reserved favor.
Priests are writing to the press that
It is against the tenets of Islamism
to grant the woman's demands. The
fair rebels challenge anyone to point
TO a single text in the Koran prov
ing that contention. In fact, the wo-
men cite theKoran in support of their
emancipation. No law compels a wo-
man to take husband designated
solely by relatives. Eminent lawyers
say the courts will hold that the
women have the right TO choose hus-
bands because the law-applied now
only in theory-provides that the
brides consent to marriage is essen
tial.
Immemorial custom has so con-
strued it that the bride is never pres
ent when the wedding ceremony is
being celebrated, her consent having
been obtained by proxy.
The heroine Of the grand opera
house meeting was a beautiful Egyp-
tian, who denounced the custom which
requires a maid to take a husband at
the command of her parents, and be-
come the mother Of the children of
a man she never saw before her We'd
ding. Children by an utter stran-
ger" was the way the speaker ex-
pressed IL.

everybody concerned In the actual

daring to extend the dechne, which
was set in motion late yesterday. The

help of some manufactured additions,
including a rumor Of the death CT the
King of England. The growing inef.
fectiveuess of the attempts to bring
