the Orient must be done with great
noise, and before terms are finally
made with one driver, it looks as if
blood would be shed. The journey
across the plain takes three nights
and parts of four days. The govern

savage eccentricity. None of the man
servants has ever worn anything that
looked like livery. There have been
no Jangling chains or snowy brass on
the harness of his horses and the equi-
pages he drove or was driven in were
of the most homely design. The coats
of-arms and monograms of the Astors
have never had a place in his home.
On the Astor estate at West Copake
there is no running water or pumping
engine. The old man will not tolerate
anything in the nature of throbbing
machinery in or about his home. IL
hand pumps are good enough for the
other dwellers on the countryside they
are good enough for him. The few
hired men he employs do not fall in
with this ideal of simplicity. There
are innumerable beds Of "posies"
about the simple white frame mansion,
and they must be watered in dry
weather. 1t is no unusual thing for
the two gardeners who take care OF
the lawns and flower beds to carry
thousand pots Of water to the thirsty
paints III the COuISe VI IL udy.
One Peculiar Hobby.
Another of Uncle Henry's crochets
is to collect silver half-dollars of an
cient vintage. 1t is common rlmor in
the village of West Copake thar he has
barrels of them in his cellar and boxes
and baskets of them stuck under beds
and hidden away in the garret. This
eccentricity is a development of only
recent years. 1t is a strange fancy
for a man whose income is more than
$4,000 a day.
For four decades Henry Astor has
hardly spent a weeks income in a
year, and his millions have multiplied
enormously. He owns more than one
hundred valuable parcels of real estate
in New York city and wherever you
happen to roam in Columbia county
you will have an Astor farm pointed
out to you. None of these farms, how
ever, is held in his own name. AS
fast as he acquires them he transfers
the title to his wife, and one Of the
Dinehart boys is put in charge Of
them.
Some Of the Astor property from
which Uncle Henry Astor derives a
large rental will pass in fC simple to
his nephews upon his death. Had any
children been born to him this would
not be the case. But as for the 9th
er princely half of his fortune, he has
taken the same pains TO keep it away
from the bioodkin as his brother, Will
liam Astor did, TO prevent Uncle Henry
or his issue from inheriting a dollar of
his estate. In the will of the late Will
liam Astor there was inserted this
clause:

Her Husband.

Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops to her
admiring husband, 81 have something
here that l desire you should see,"
and as she spoke she threw back the
lid of big trunk in the storeroom.
The trunk was full. level full, of a
vast number OF little things of uni
form size that might have been oats
or grains Of wheat, but which upon a
little closer inspection seemed to be
small type letters.
They are letters, Ezra" said Mrs.
Billtops; they are the g's you have
dropped in the last three years"
And the meaning of this exhibit
was clear to Mr.. Billtops instantly;
he was not really a dull man; it was
not necessary to hit him with a maui

Billtops has always been a great man
for dropping his g's. Whether from
carelessness or laZiness or economy
of his speech, or whatever his prompt
ing, he has always said seein' for
seeing, and bein' for being, and doin'
for doing, and this has always dis
turbed Mrs. Billtops. Time and again
she has sought to get himSin this re-
spect to mend his ways. but habit has
proved too strong for him, and so
finally she resolved TO give him an OBJ
ject lesson.
Three years ago, Ezra" she said,
"unbeknown to you began gathering
up the g's you dropped in speaking.
I started out to keep them in an empty
fruit jar, but soon found that

and here you see. Ezra, a trunkful
of g's that you have dropped in three
years. Don't you think that is terri
ble?"
Mr.. Billtops freely admitted that it
certainly was: and then and there In
the presence of that open trunk he
vowed a reform. If she would throw
away those g's. he said, right now. TO
the last one, he would most earnestly
endeavor always to remember to make
it ever impossible for her to start an
other collection.

neither my brother Henry nor his is
sue shall as heirs-at-law or neXt-of-kin,
receive any portion of my estate, and
any such portion to which he or they
would in any contingency be entitled
to give TO the trustees of the Astor IL
brary for corporate purposes of the
said institution"
Scorned to Dispute Will.
Had Henry, Astor been so inclined
he was advised by his lawyers he
could successfully have attacked this
clause in his knsmans will. The then
Mrs. Coleman Drayton was referred to
in the same manner in William AS
tors will. When Henry Astor was in
formed of this he said:
"As for Mrs. Drayton. | do not know
her; never saw her in my life. AS for
my brothers will, | have absolutely
no interest in it. I do not intend to
give it a thought"
An effort was made recently to ques-
tion Uncle Henry Astor concerning
his opinion of the approaching mar
riage of his nephew Col. John Jacob
Astor and twenty-one-year-old Made
leine Talmadge Force. The interview
or, however, failed to reach the thresh-
old Of the West Copake mansion. He
was held in wedge of farm hands
while one of the Astor gardeners went
up to the house to tell Uncle Henry
that there was a plot on foot to in
terview him. Uncle Henry said curt
ly: "Wedge him out" and the inter
viewer was wedged out.
Notwithstanding the reports that
have long been circulated about old
Henry Astor's remarkable collection
Of half dollars. no effort has ever been
made to rob his house. One or more
of the "Dinehart boys" is always in
the mansion, and any would-be ma
rauder who gets a look at one of the
"Dinehart boys" suffers sudden
change of heart-New York World.

mean a wonderful opening up of trade
Modern machinery will be brought in
to the country. New hotels and vii
lagos are already coming into exis

and the advent of western fashions
will transform the life of Asia Minor
The linking of Constantinople with thu
northern Mediterranean region will

The scenery In the Taurus noun
tains is beautiful beyond description
The mountains of Scotland are not
comparable with 1t, and 1t ranks with
the best of the Rockies and Switzer-
land. Some of the peaks are snow
covered all the year round. There are
majestic gorges and precipices and
vistas. The natural beauties are en-
hanced by frequent remains of antiq
uities.
In the narrowest part Of the Cilician
Gates is chiselled a tablet recording
the passage of Marcus Aurelius. Ro
man milestones dot the road, although
in some cases they have been altered
TO bear Turkish numerals. The IA
nous Cilician Gates proper have
proved too difficult for the railway en-
gineers, SO they go through an upper
pass, which they consider somewhat
easier. At best the engineering diff
culties will be great. Once the noun
tains have been crossed, the railway
debouches upon the great Cilician
plain beyond which sparkles the Medi
terranean.
Nobody Is willing to prophesy how
long it will take the railroad to cross
from Adana above the head of the
Mediterranean to Aleppo and then
down into Mesopotamia. When that
day does come, it will be a notable
event in eastern politics as we'll as in
commerce. In the meantime, there

to rest under the Astor-Dinehart tomb
that he erected several years ago in
the little cemetery of the Reformed
church at West Copake.
No children were born of the Astor-
Dinehart union and there have never
been any children in the household.
Nor has the Astor mansion at West
Copake ever known such a thing as Il
retinue of servants. For thirty years
Henry Astor and his wife have occu-
pied the big white frame homestead
that faces on the main road running
by West Copake down to the Copake
Iron works, four miles away. Copake
Iron Works is the railroad station on
the Harlem division Of the New York
Central.
This entire district has prospered
since the coming CT Henry Astor to
Red Hook for he set standard for
farming that scores of his neighbors
have profited by. And he bought

der cultivation.
Has Lived His Life Apart.
Inc inONc u west NODdhe was Hldue
in order to sever forever the last tie
that might bind him to the Astors of
Red Hook. Since then his social circle
has been his own family-his wife, her
seven brothers, "the Dinehart boys"
their families and the few farmers
who have been admitted to intimacy
at the Astor mansion.
In accepting his exile from the gild-
ed society in which his parents moved
Henry Astor adopted regime of life
that was warranted to blot out for.
ever every suggestion of the luxurious
households he had frequented during
his younger days. He accepted the
standards of living of the Dineharts
and never once since his marriage has
he spent a dollar for show or ostenta'
ton. Indeed, he has carried this ideal
OF simplicity to the verge of an almost
