THE TolLINe RICH.

The burdens OF great wealth are set
forth in convincing way IN an ar
ticle in the current Munsey. Tho very
very rich man has what everybody
desires" and is thus never for one
moment in any society free from those
who would get something from his.
BY mail. by letters of Introduction,
by personal solicitation. by influence
through hia friends. tho flood of en-
treaty surges about him. These peo-
pie cannot all be dealt with by private
secretaries. any more than the million-
aires plans and enterprises can be
carried on by others. He Is him
self guardian and dispenser OF his
wealth. and as there are buty twenty
four hours In tho day no is little else.
Such n Croesus was asked: when
DO you over have a moment 10 be your
self and think your own thoughts?'
After a moments consideration came
the reply, well, / guess while ! am
being shaved Is the only time"
The comfort OF being obscure, OF
being left I'm peace 60 live ones own
life and to employ leisure hours after
ones choice is a blessing TO be re.
membered "Give me neither wealth
nor poverty" is the prayer Of the sage
Beyond a certain point money can bu.
nothing except the pleasure OF help
ing others. and with this there Is 20
often the consciousness that the none
given may be more a hindrance than
help In the end.

JAPAN HAS GREATER
COST OF LIVING TOO

009N VI NANNAN1f w
A Japanese newspapers Of Tokyo, the
Jiji, laments the increased cost OF llv-
ing IN "a land formerly renowned for
It's cheapness. Tho struggle for exist
enco causes the dissolution OF landed
estates that have been handed down
for generations. Inherited habits of
idleness among the country gentry ac
count for some OF this distress. But
tho change in land ownership may dis
turb the balance Of social aairs In the
villages. A prat of the trouble is
caused by taxation, which has affected
the prosperity Of farmers. When all
the several forms II public dues are
cdducted from the Proceeds OF the har-
vest, the landlords profits arc cut
down, while at the same time tho mar
ket prices of all commodities are rising.
one source Of expenses and consequent
trouble seems TO be the introduction
Of Western fashions. The sons of
tenant farmers wear European hats
and clothing. The gentry take 20
stock speculation and 10 the promotion
o frisky and unfamiliar business en-
torprises, thus ondangerlng their
estates and perhaps impovorishing
their families
There are financial and social pho
nomena that might be expected 10 ac-
company Of some degree the adoption
or the imitation Of the outward afpecis
Of an ALLEN civilization. It wis for
the old aristocracy Of Japan 10 prove
its inherent right TO that title by main
tanning a discreet conservation in the
inherent right 10 that tile by main
tanning a discreet conservation IN the
voluntary expenses Of living. thus set
ting an example 10 others. They
might have clung TO what was worth
lest I'm their native customs and re-
tained more Of their simplicity. But
another underlying cause for tho dis
tress must be the payment Of the pub
&c debt, whose interest and sinking
fund arc the inheritance Of war.

only A CRIPPLE.

The car had been a long time on IFS
way down town and many passengers
had come and gone, each scat as IL
was emptied being eagerly taken by
one Of the persons who were standing,
says the New York sun.
Tucked away in the corner seat by
the front door a sad-faced man of
middle age was sitting. He had been
there a long time. His boots were
shiny. but his trousers were sadly
faryed. His collar was clean, but his
coat was turning green. His tie was
the hook-on variety, without a spin,
and there was no sign OF watch guard
about him. He spent his time looking
out of the car window.
The car stopped at a corner and a
woman carrying a crutch climbed on
the front step and came in by the
door next TO the sad-faced man. She
did not seem 70 be lame exactly as
she held the crutch in her hand while
she mounted the step unaided and
pushed her way inside, but she seem
ed tired, and was evidently vexed al
finding the car full.
The sad-faced man looked at her
for moment and glanced around. AT
ter moments hesitation the sad-faced
man touched her on the elbow and
reached for the strap above his head
as he stood up and offered her his
seat.

ENEMIES oF BATS.

Among the natural enemies OF rats
are the larger hawks and owls, skunks.
foxes. copotes, weasels. minks, dogs,
cats and ferrets. Probably the great
est factor in the increase Of rats. mice
and other destructive rodents in the
United states has been the persistent
killing off of the birds and mammals
that prey upon them. Animals that on
the whole are decidedly beneficial. since
they subsist upon harmful insets and
rodents, are habitually destroyed by
some farmers and sportsmen because
they occasionally kill a chicken or a
game bird.

POOR MANS DIGGING
In NORTHERN ALASKA

According 10 the current stories from
Alaska. poor mans diggings OF great
promise have been struck I'm the Innoko
country. southeast OF Norton Sound, and
there is general stampede TO the new

received tells OF rich strikes made, in the
shallow diggngs which give IL its charac-
teristic OF poor mans camp.
What has made Alaska and the British
Yukon Is tho poor mans diggngs. The
original prospectors had none OF them
money enough TO buy machinery or TO

ficont distances and no transportation IA

enlisted during tho present generation In
development work on mines in Alaska
had It not been for the immense wealth
taken out by the men OF no capital save
their brawn and energy. Tho 1Slondike

and paid the original iocators from tho

asitu and "set.n

Some one who believes in teaching
by example has concocted a lesson in
the use Of two little words which have
been a source Of modification and
trouble to many well meaning persons.
A man, or woman either, eau set a
hen, although they cannot sit her; neil
ther can they set on her, although the
hen might sit Oh them by the hour If
they would allow IL.
A man cannot set on the wash
bench, but be could set the basin on t.,
and neither the basin nor the gramma-
rians would object.
He could sit on the dogs tail, II the
dog were willing. or he might set his
foot on It. But IL he should set on the
aforesaid tail OF sit his foot there the
grammarians as well as the dog would
-metaphorlcnlly at least.
And yet the man might set the tail
aside and sit down and be assailed nei
ther by the dog nor by the gramma
