WHAT IS A LARGE FORTUNE ?

New England Cotton Mill Owner
Thinks Nothing Less Than Three
Quarters of Billion Deserves That
Description.
Our protected monopolists appear to
have very different ideas Of what con.
stitutes great wealth to those enter
tanned by the rest of the community
What we common people would call
very comfortable living they would
call starvation. and what we would
call being rich beyond the dreams. Of
avarice they apparently regard as
making bare living In these days
OF swollen expenses and sparse saw
ings most people would think them
selves well off if they had a fortune
of $4,000. But our bloated tariff ben
eiciaries have other standards. When
they talk money they have no use for
any denomination less than millions
Billions are the goal toward which
following passage taken from the tar
if hearings illustrates this point. Mr..
Lippitt. it may be explained. is Il rep
resentative cotton mill owner in New
England
MIR. Longworth Il do not know
whether | understood Mr.. Lippitt cor
rectly to say that no large fortunes
have ever been made in this business
in New England?
Mr.. Lippitt-l think so.
Mr.. Lonsworth-My impression is
that most Of the large New England
fortunes have been made in it.
Mr.. Lippitt-We are not accustomed
to very large fortunes in New Eng
land
Mr.. Longworth--Then, may ask you
what you call a large fortune?
Mr.. Lippitt-l would regard a for
tune of three quarters of billion as
large fortune.
Of course we must make allowance
for the fabulous notions of our tariff
pets. The illusions from which they
suffer are of our own creation. We
have lifted them into an unreal world
where men reap without sowing and
where the struggle for existence ia
unheard of. A period of severe self
reliance would tend to sober them
somewhat.

Oriuin Of tho Turban.

The origin Of the turban must be
looked for not. as commonly believed.
among Moslems, but as sign Of au-
thority and honor dating back to the
earliest periods Of Jewish history.
The term used in the Hebrew Bible
for putting on the bonnet of the high
priest is from root meaning Ito bind
round" The words inter, hood. dia-
dem, as used in the Old Testament,
are only variations Of the word tur.
ban. Jerome tells us that the turban
has place in the most ancient records
Of history. The variations as adopted
by Mohammedans are many. Their
own authorities hint at q thousand
methods of arranging the turban,
which show not only the tribe and re.
ligious distinction, but even the per-
sonal peculiarities of the wearer. An
old legend traces the turban to an act
Of desperate courage recorded of the
ancient Levantines. A brave band OF
warriors are said to have wrapped
their winding sheets round their beads
as they devoted themselves to certain
death to save their comrades on the
battlefield.
