THE MIsER.
All Rich Men Are Not Close With . Money.

Jasper in Leslies Weekly.
 I despise a miser as much as anyone can, but 1t is utterly unfair to put all of our wealthy men in the miser class with one or two who may be, or who may have been, conspicuous for miserly hab- its. The desire to accumulate a subh- stantial and sufficient fortune abides in every human breast. It is an evolution of enlightened selflshness, and behind it is the saving habit which every one com- mends. No great fortune as rule, has ever been established in this country ex- cepting on the foundations of brains, fru- gality and thrift. The most notable men of wealth in America today are not the few who inherited their fortunes, but the many who built them up on the founda- tions of industry, intelligence and econo- my The very fact that they were able to do this is the best proof of their busi- ness integrity, for no dishonest, tricky or interruptions man can hope to succeed in building up a great business in these times. Like counterfeit coin, he is cer tain of detection early in his career, and that will be the end of it.
 MT John D. Rockefeller, in his inter- esting "reminiscences has told the story of the early struggles of himself and his associates. Every one of these gentle men, 1nCluQlnB MT w Hiisilli fNoSASLciiSi' MT John D.. Archbold, MT. H. H. Rog- CTS and MT Henry M. Flagler, started in life in very moderate circumstances. They were poor boys. They built up a great business because they established their credit and were enabled to borrow the funds they needed from banks that were very certain to refuse to lend to men who led dishonest or disgraceful lives. MT. Hartman has recently told how his ambi- ton in life was not to accumulate a great fortune, but to use the words at triputed to hlm by the new spapers, TO play the game and win" lie was in- spired by an ambition to combine great railroad systems, to overcome obstacles, to master intricate problems If, in ac- complaining these results, he accumulated d fortune, did ne receive more than his s,enGs was entitled to?
 MT. Andrew Carnegie was a telegraph operator during the Civil war. MT. George George w. Perkins, of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Company, was a clerk in an in- suranco office MT. Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the greatest bank in tho United States, the City National of New York. began life reporter on d western newspaper. Nearly every man of wealth and distinction in this country rose from the humblest walks of life, and his success has been, and should be, an inspiration to the youth of today to hitch their chariots to a star and rise up- ward
 What have the men of great fortunes done with their money? What are they doing? Have they been miserly hoard CTS of their possessions? On the con trary, they have been great distributors of wealth. MT. Rockefeller's millions

A special production complete in every detail has been built for the play The cast which includes many familiar names is as follows:

Literary Lights and Shadobs
BY s. MAYS BALL

hero's fate hangs upon the heroine's tes- timony The point of this situation is very much enhanced by the invinclble truthfulness of the nice young girl to whom the heroine's part Is assigned While, on the other hand, there is a Spanish woman who is not in society. quite untroubled by seruples of any kind.
 There are some very unique situations in the book. for instance, where the young heroine, returning home from a ball in a carriage, picks up a fugitive from Justice and after driving him about quite costly for time drops him at the jail door, into which he disappears.
 The Other Side of the Door" is pretty fair, but does not come within a thousand miles of "The Coast of Chance
 "The Bridge Builders" by Anna Chapin
 Ray. Qitte Brown & Co)
 The plot of this story is based upon the famous ill-fated Quebec bridge and it's collapse, which marks a climax in the story, and serves to bring about the de- noument
 The chief characters in this story are the young daughter of new rich mil- lionaire from Arizona, a young American author, and a Quebec engineer, connected with the building of the bridge. The two men are warm friends, but rivals in love-
 Miss Ray has done some unusual work and this book seems to be as good as anything that she has yet done. She is able to describe people to Us more by what they say and do, than by mere de- scription.
 For instance, one can take the gay, un- conventional. capable young heroine, un- consciously careless of appearance, and ready for every emergency, who is a de- ierhf f.,1 riqls- fa4 with his jovial, good nature. and con stant understanding between them and her mother, with the latters prim heart and gentle jealousy, rings true, as only Anna Chapin Ray seems able to put 1t In proper form in her charming books.

"As Others See Us by John Graham
 Brooks. ChcAillan co.)
 MT Brooks, in his new volume, writes of the fact that two generations have passes since the publication of certain volume4 which incensed this country so much, having been written by authors and what not, who had come to this ooun- try to accept our hospitality then gave US the dickens when they returned home.
 Mr. Brooks took a trip through this country some time since, and while en route he read most of the old books which had attacked this country so many years ago. Returning home he at once read Dickens American Notes" and the parts of Martin Chuzzlewtt," which referred to the United States It is a pleasure to read this book of MT. Brooks, which de- scribes the happy fact that this country had forgotten the lively resentment reused by the first readings of the books in ques- ton. He tells how the smart of the grossest charieatures made by Dickens more than 30 years ago have passed away, principally, as he puts it, one recognizes in this generation much that was true. There were no doubt much in our char acteristics in our public and private life which Dickens recognized, knew to be true as that generation did and in later years admitted.
 As MT. Brooks put it, many Philadel- phians wanted to put Dickens in cell for telling such lies about their model prison" Going on further tN say, MT. Brooks states that we all know that Dickens told the truth; that he did a public service in calling attention to the essential barbarity of that boasted prison method.
 This most entertaining and interesting book is divided in 13 chapters, devoted to the criticisms made on this country by Harriet Martineau (sketch); Mrs. Trol- lope, A Scene at a Camp Meeting, Capt Basil Hall, Captain Marryat, Sir Charles Lyell, Charles Dickens, Alexis Max O'ReH (M BlounD and ,the first trip of Bulton's steamboat to Albany.
