During reception rendered Mr..
Clark he made brief address outlin-
Ing. the work Of the past Congress,
and predicted as to the future. He

of disintegration. Though declining
to refer In any way to his own
chances OF nomination as his party's
standard bearer, he freely predicted
that Democratic success in 1912 was

SCORNS FATHERS MILLIONS.
Impoverished Italian Lives in Hut
With st. Louis Oldest Dog.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.) }

The son Of millionaire from
whom he has several times refused
financial aid, Louis Reppetto, So
years old, lived thirty-five years in
two rooms in the basement of a
building at ia South Seventh street,
according to the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. He Is now penniless and
seriously i'll Of heart disease at the
city hospital. That, at least, is what
Reppetto, who was reported TO be
worth $4,000 or more, told n re-
porter who visited him at the hos
pital recently.
MY father has money-lots of it"
he said. He's worth between So
100000 and $4,000,O00, but If the
city were for sale at 500 l couldn't
buy a woodshed in it.
Il was born in cottage near
where | now live SO years ago, my
father at that time being in the fruit
business. About thirty-fve years
ago he went back to Genoa, Italy,
where he now lives on the interest
OF his money. He has offered me
large sums of money to 20 into busi-
ness with and urged me to come over
to Italy and live with him on one of
the largest estates in the country.
But ] wouldn't let him or any other
relative give me penny. My father
is almost 80 years old now, and will
be dying off some Of these days and
leaving me million or two as an
inheritance.
when ! was not more than eight
years old my father gave me a beat
ing for going swimming in the river
when he had ordered me to stay at
nome. | ran away and since that
day have made my own way in the
world entirely. For many years /
sold newspapers and made more
money than / have ever earned since.
But ! always spent it as fast as it
came In and the statement that am
a miser and worth $4,000 Is ridicu-
lous and absurd.
THE papers also published that I
Kept ten dogs and five cats in my
rooms on South Seventh street to
guard the treasure. All that Is fool
ishness. If had money l would be
out among the bon tons in the West
End. But have no money and am
satisfied to live my own life and let
others live theirs. You could buy all
own for $40, except my dog Jack
and the picture Of my dead wife and
son and daughter. My wife died four
years after our marriage, twenty
three years ago, and my two children
died soon afterward
'You won't find cot in my rooms,
and in addition to Jack there are
only three pups. Jack is by far, I
believe, the oldest dog in st. Louis
raised him from puppy, and he's
been my pal for twenty-six years.
He's getting pretty old now and can't
do the tricks that he used to astonish
my friends with.
Jacks got more sense than
good many men, and can drink as
much beer as any man in st. Louis,
but he don't get drunk-that's
where he's wiser"
