Beckmann's researches proved that
the African bird so priced by the
Romans was the guinea fowl, which to
this day roams wild over the entire
continent, from Egypt to the cape. and
that the first turkey Europe saw was
brought back by the Spaniards from
North America. The earliest author

traveller published the statement in
1863 that of all the fowls in New
Spain the turkey was the most deli
cious, and that there was no bird
known in Europe that could equal it.
That the same verdict was passed in
Old Spain is proven by the way the
Spaniards set themselves to domesti-
eating the turkey and sending it to

By PETER NEWELL

Cousin Orone McDOoble is one Of
the most patient men In Betzville and.
as he often says. you can never tell
what will turn up II you only wait
long enough. He Is willing to wait
almost any length of time for some
thing to turn up, and II is this marvel
GUS patience that makes him 80 sue
cessful as . trainer Of wild animals.
For eighteen or twenty years he has
been waiting for some one to give him
q couple OF Hons or tigers, and Is
soon AZ someone does give them to
him. he will undoubtedly train them
In wonderful maner. Cousin Orone
also says he Is willing to wait consid-
cradle time for someone to give him
any other animal to train. and that he
will then show US something. but up
to the present NO one has given him
any animal whatever. So Cousin
Or0ne has been lavishing his wonder
full talent on Cleopatra.
Last Wednesday q gentleman Of
Italian parentage arrived In Betzville
with a large. rOugh-cast bear and a
painful. squeaky flute. and after wan
dering through the streets of our
burg, put up for the night at the
Betzville hotel. and while sitting on
the front porch after supper boasted
that his bear was ready and willing
to wrestle, catch-as-catch-can, with any
living being in Bekyille. two shout
ders to the ground to be a down"
For awhile NO one in the vicinity
seemed willing to take the challenge,
and it looked as if the bear would
bear away the championship of Betz-
vile. But just then Orone McDooble

Orone Urging Cleopatra on.
happened along and, hearing the chal-
lenge. said he was willing to enter a
wrestler, on the terms given, and that
he would put Cleopatra against the
bear in any kind of wrestle.
At once all became excitement on
our main street, and the crowd gath
cred, and there was great deal of
conversation. for none of us had
known that Cousin Orone had a
wrestler by pane Of Cleopatra. But
OrOne Immediately took of his coat
and vest. and then he took of his
shirt, and asked Uncle Ashdod ClOots
to kindly grab the little black thing
that nestled between Orone's shout
ders. 1t seems that Cousin Orone, for
many months, has been training a
flea, and when not in use the flea
nestles right there between Orone's
shoulders. A flea is splendid
nestler.
As soon as Uncle AshdOd had
grabbed Cleopatra, Orone took her
In his hand, holding her firmly be-
tween his thumb and forefinger, and
spoke to her as one man to another.
He explained what she was to under
take, and We all expected Cleopatra
to look upon the huge bear with awe
and fear, but she merely turned her
eyes to Orone. as II to say, Whatever
you command, it is my pleasure
to do"
1.-THE honor of Betzville is in your
hands, Cleopatra" said Orone Re
member the rules: first down wins;
two shoulders to the ground consti-
tutes a down. Go, my darling, and
may all be well with YOU" Then he
set Cleopatra on the ground. and she
Immediately became lost to sight.
The Italian at first seemed inclined
to resent the appearance of a cham
MON that he could not see without a
microscope. but upon being duly
spoken to, he had nothing to do but
allow his bear to wrestle with Cleo
patra. He therefore spoke to the bear
in these words: "Jacka, you fights da
lea! You wrestle da flea! Maka da
good fight Gitta da move on"
At this the bear stood on his hind

Not only that, but q large number Of new groups
Of great financial strength has been developed
There is the Hawley group, for instance which
has made millions and millions In the rise in val
ues Of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head
OF this coterie. was not a big Wall street figure
until within the last year or So but of late he has
added immeasurably to his wealth and to his pow
er as transportation king.
Among those of his friends who have climbed
into the chariot of the plutocrats is Frank A. Van
derlip, the president of the National City bank.
He is reputed to have made more than million
out Of Chesapeake & Ohio and Union Pacific.
When he was assistant secretary of the treasury
q few years ago Vanderlip was a man Of very
moderate means and lived in a modest little fiat
In Washington. After he came to New York his
wealth increased somewhat, but only since the
first of this year has he entered the millionaire
class.
Another Of the Hawley group who is one of the
new crop of multfmillionaires is a banker named
Scott who piled up a small fortune, dollar by dol
Lar. In Richmond Va, and who has increased it
many fold of late in Wall street. Still another of
the same group is Robert Fleming. He was not
poor man when the rise in stocks began. but he IL
said to be very rich one now. Then there is .
new crop OF Union Pacific millionaires, Southern
Pacific miliionaires. Wabash. Rock Island and
many other groups Of new millionaires who have
become wealthy by the tremendous upturn of the
shares they were interested in. Some Of these
men were mllionaires before the beginning of this
year: these have now moved up to the multi
millionaire class.

nrnces today than ever before. Practically all OF
these are southerners, who have nad an eAper'
knowledge of this staple. Most of them have been
cotton planters themselves on large scale, and all
their lives they have been studying cotton It's
growth and its overwhelming markets.
Almost every day there have been rumors n.y.
ing about as to what Patten was doing In cotton.
But curiously enough there has been never WORD
said about the real bull leader in the cotton mar
ket. the man who has been the biggest Spectator
in this staple and who recently has jumped into
the multimiIionaire class. Eugene G. Scales OF
Dallas, Tex. Scales is the most towering bull
probably that the cotton market ever has known.
Patten is a piker beside him. Even the celebrated
Mr. Sully in his palmiest days never operated on
such a huge basis Scales has been In the last
eight months.
This new and mighty multimillionaire In the cot
ton market has steadfastly kept himself in the
background. He is no amateur Spectator, how
ever for five years ago he was in one OF the Sully
campaigns and retired from the fight with several
large dents in his financial armor. But now he
has won back all his losses and a lot more.
Some among the many others who know cotton"
and have won big fortunes through its rise in price
are Fergus Reid of Norfolk, Va; Morris H. Roth

Berg had charge of the Chalmette terminals at
New Orleans not long ago and was a hardworking

them into effective and profitable system. Then,

sprung up lately through the Hp-
ward sweep of prices in Wall
street. Great corporations. like the
fire and the life insurance COM
panies. have also prOfited stupen-
dously. These tremendous reser-
yoirs of money own huge blocks OF
shares in scores of railway and In
dustrial companies-lots OF from
10000 shares to almost a controi-
ling interest. The most OF these
are sober. gilt-edged, dividend-pay-
ing stocks that have not been spec
tacular in their advance in price as
compared with some of those that
have gone up like skyrockets. Yet
even these high-priced shares have
been enhanced in value from 20 to
so per cent. in the last II months.
They were bought at panic prices,
so the published records OF these
companies show, and these institu-
lions now are said to be selling
them off. cautiously and carefully
at the fancy figures that have been
prevailing of late. Unlike the In
dividual investor. they believe In
cashing, in their winnings and salt
ing them down until there Is an
other chance to buy cheap.
In the commodities there are new
groups of millionaires and multi
millioraires also. Some of these
have won their wealth in wheat,
others in corn. but most Of them in
