eests to my mind the old song that most of us could sing with personal fervor- "If I had ten thousands year, Gaffer
 Green,
 If I had ten thousand year, What a man I could be, what sights
 could see
 If had ten thousand a year."
 One woman I know declares that her idea of wealth is telephone all to her self, not on a party line.'
 Another declares that her idea of riches is to be able to cook everything in but ter.
 A girl who adores clothes declares that her idea of riches is to have just as many pairs of silk stockings as anybody could wear and willow plume for every hat she possesses!
 A man who adores poker and plays the national game with much ardor, says that his idea of wealth is keeping So ahead of the game.
 Don't you just love the closing passage of Septimus. when the hero timidly asks Emmy if she thinks they could manage 10 afford trim little parlor maid in black frock and white cap and apron?
 That was dear, simple hearted, lovable Septimus' idea of wealth, and the reply of the sweet-natured woman stamped her as wife worthy of him when she said:
 "Oh, Septimus, you give the whole world, and all you ask of life is parlor maid."
 Curious
 Awfully curious, isn't it. our several ideas of what would spell riches-wealth, if you please-to us?

 Now, that was the old ignorant negro s idea of wealth! Queer. isn't it-our vari- ous opinions on the subject-so queer that I've gotten together lot of ideas from different people, just to compare them and see how totally different they really are
 'I read the papers assiduously," said a woman the other day, and nothing escapes me. and what has amazed me more than anything in the world is how, up in New Yorok every case that is tried in the courts the principles always ride in cabs Most of the people on trial are supposed not be especially wealthy and yet they always go to the courtrooms in a cab"
 "In New York you never hear anybody say.' she continued

 "Well, my idea of wealth." said the woman who was telling the story" is never to walk a step the rest of my nat ural life. That's the only reason I envy Hetty Green or Mrs. Russell Sage Think of having money enough to ride around in 8 cab like the Japanese do in Jinriclk shaws.' knowing that you wouldn't have to sell your shoes and clothes to pay for it. Think of the meter running blissfully up and you not having to watch it with belated, weeping eyes, fearful, so fearful, of the ultimate prices of the drive that you couldn't enjoy it. Yes my idea of wealth is unlimited-taxicabs."
 That idea must appeal to many, for, don't you remember in Mrs. Fiske's play
 :" Salvation Nell how one of the char acters says:
 CT have taxi waiting and I'm not a wealthy woman
 And everybody gigeles'
 And in Clyde Fitch's wonderful play, The City don't you recall how when the entire family is wrought up to fever heat over the terrible issues of life and the audience is almost hysterical over the drunken husband declaring for reform, and the erring wife saying she will go back home with him, and he says:
 Then come, my dear, at once, for I have a taxi waiting.
 And a ripple of merriment sweeps over the audience which has been on the verge of tears.
 That bit of witticism relieves the ten- sicn of the moment most humanly!
 And don't you recall another idea of wealth that was just little bit differ ent when jolly May Irwin in her Parking ton Wilson play, Getting Polish." de- clared that as soon as the mine at Yellow Dog gave out its missions she was going to get "a hired girl and go on an ex- cursion to Butte?"

Champagne Corks

Champagne corks cost 10 cents apiece because for one reason they are hand made.
 Cork bark. before entering the cork machines, must be steamed. Steaming softens it. Were it not softened 1t woIlX dull and ruin the machines' circula r. knives.
 But steamed cork has no elasticity. no life. Inserted in bottle it tends to shrink and permit leakage. A leaky cork would ruin champagne and there- fore, this costly wine is always stop pered with a cork of the best quality, that has been cut by hand-an un- steamed cork of the highest elas- ticity.

Lace Owes Development to
 Men

It is curious to know that lace, now almost the unique possession of women. owes it's development if not it's actual existence to men, When lace was being slowly evolved from drawn work. the Popes and great preates of the church used it on their altar vestments and robes, fostered and encouraged it's pro- duction, and paid large sums for it.
 Later. lace became an absolute essen tial of masculine attire in ruffs, in col jars, in sashes. in garters. and even as

The Dynamite Affair

UNTIL a further report is made concerning the dynamtng OF

be tempered with a degree OF suspened judgment From the reports
II is evident that the building a wifuly destroyed, as the explosion
was sufficient ito arouse the entire valley There will be nc question
as TO the real N OF distinctions; the object is the item that will have

Since the day the first move ws made to move the building to

4 great deal Of feeling existing; the county has practically been divided
against itself Ii the wreckng OF the building came through this feel

is more than possible that the guilty NJ will be in the hands of
the law.
There is another that the building wrecking a the result
OF labor troubles. AS there is no open breach between the contract
ors and any labor union II party it seems that this theory is somewhat
the contract for building should have gone to other parties had a
hand in the matter. All such evidence car be gathered in the valley
and with the local authorities, the State and the Government taking
a hand in the seeking OF the culprit, it is safe o predict that prosecu-
tons will follow.
Dynamite ha, long been the mode OF revenge and several instan-
cs OF such destruction have taken place in the mills and mines OF Ne
vada in the years that nave passed. This happening at this day and IN
the midst OF the present agitation has caused a sensation that will
make it go hard with the parties who have soied their hands by this
petty revenge.
