Who created these immense American private

analysis of that part OF the business it is the truth
to say that the progressive American people in deve
oping and stimulating the growth the country have
made these colossal private fortunes possible. The
producing people pay all bills in the final windup of
the balance sheet.
The Rothschilds have Set magnificent example
to the entire world in the way they have handled their
immense wealth by setting aside part of it each
year for charity and they have been backward
IN promoting business enterprises in every known
part of the globe. Do the Ro:hschills always win

the most progressive bankers in t he W orld. The
founder of the banking family, Meyer Rothschid,
builded the fame of his firm honesty-a square

contradiction that the Rothschds will be honored
when the names of other abnormally rich men are
forgotten and their fortunes have become tramped
in the dust of ages.

ilarity of the titles striking me as

OF names and places, they were
identical. Even the names we're

certain disbelief creeping over

King Edward may have played

MANY good thing came out of
Jersey. There was, for instance,
the Jersey COW. When [ was rahn-
ching in Manitoba, [ formed an ac-
quaintance with a Jersey COW which
will always remain one of my most
treasured recollections. She was
young and inquisitive, but of inf
mite gentility. When one of those
rough cowboy persons would CRATE
on her sensibilities, Adelaide would
gaze soulfully at me, as much as to
say, "we understand each other,
you and l." There were deeps in
Adelaide, but they were clear deeps
One felt that she would have been
at home in Piccadilly, that her re-
finement would have carried her
through the most difficult situa-
tons unscathed, yet that she hid
put these things behind her and
gone forth as, if the expression be
permitted d, an evangelist. The
other animal for which Jersey is
noted will eat out of the hand too
also out of the leg. But maybe
it was New Jersey that produced
the octopus. Last and not least
in the catalogue stands the Jersey
lily, most perfect of flowers, immac-
ulate, unearthly white. You see
if you have patience with these
paragraphs, they frequently come
to some kind of point.
Of the voice of SANDER, it is idle
to speak. Only man safe from

in print the tissue of half-truths

peared in the editorial columns of
this paper last week. Firstly, with
regard to the "sort of mental per-
son" that Mrs. Langtry is said to
have married. Ferdinand Lang

man OF large family and was. thus
unfortunately obliged to vulgarly

these circumstances, heshould have

subsidiary position, with the class
to whic h he naturally belonged.
rather than sully his hands by dab
bling in trade, is but an index of
the keen social instinct that he
possessed. He was no sort of mental
person whatever; and, on his be-
half, I fling this gratuitous insult
back in the teeth of him whose pen
indlted it.
Secondly, with regard to that
tale of the ice and the 10y mitt. I
