The employees of the eastern rail-

increased cost of operating their in

it is practically impossible to grant
such demand as the employees make.
The merchant sells us an article at
an advanced price; it costs us consid-
erably more than it formerly did, max
ing life more complex proposition.
The retailer says he is not to blame,
as he has to pay the wholesaler and
manufacturer more for the goods.
The manufacturer denies any respon-
sibility for the advance, as, he says
the raw material costs him a great
deal more than it formerly did, and
that he is paying higher wages than
formerly. And there you are. There
is no denying that this is a great time
of prosperity, but it seems to be a
high priced prosperity with every
body paying more, and nobody getting
any more What's the answer? Where
does all of the high-priced money go?

for ten per cent increase in his

Whatever sins of commission and
omission have been charged up
against John D. Rockefeller in the

to restore much of his fortune back

Rockefeller followed a system that

case of passing up the system or los

guerite was credited with having great
influence with Miss Roosevelt.
From the first her position among the
matrons of the diplomatic set was Il
difficult one. They resented being Obliged
TO pay her the attentions due nus
tress of the Russian embassy, obJecting
because she was neither the wife nor
the daughter of an ambassador. This
difficulty was somewhat obviated when
Count Cassini legally adopted her as his
daughter, and when it was announced
that the Gar had given her the title of
countess in her own right.
With resident and official society
Countess Marguerite was enormously
popular. With Miss Roosevelt and Miss
Isabel May she was one of dashing
trio whose doings were matters of in

sang for her friends and at entertain
ments given for charity.
The countess, dashing brunette
with beautiful coloring. was noted for
the number of her hats, all the product
of her own clever fingers. In addition
to designing and making her own head
gear, Countess Cassini often good-hu-
mOredly acted as milliner for her
friends
The parties she gave at the Russian
embassy were brilliant. The beverages
served were sure to include the Russian
vodka, a fiery liquor.
The family of Sir Mortimer Durand,
former British ambassador, were social
opponents of Countess Cassini, and the
warfare they instituted ON the dashing
little chatelaine of the Cars embassy
was said to be largely responsible for
Count Cassini's transfer to the post at
Madrid, to which he is now accredited.

After that the countess was no longer
accounted a leader, and it soon began
to be rumored that Cassini would be
transferred to Madrid. Then came the
rumor that the court of Spain, one Of
the strictest in all Europe, would not
receive the Countess Cassini. This re
port was followed by the announcement
that Countess Cassini intended to make
her home with friends in Paris and that
her uncle would proceed to Madrid
without her.
