SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1911

"Cherokee Bill" of Grand Junction,
Colo, an Afro-Indian, aged ia years,
and declared by the United States
Census Bureau to be the oldest man in
the United States, has decided to re-
tire from active labor. He has been
working at the hardest sort of labor
since he was fourteen years old. He
is worth in the neighborhood of $780,
600. 1t was his ambition to retire
with an average of $1,000 per year
saved during his century's work, but
he did not quite make it. His fortune
has been made in the last fifteen
years from gold mining in Leadville,
Cripple Creek and along Grand river.
Well, if he did not succeed in his am
bition, he did succeed in proving that
the African-Indian combination in his
composition made very good man. He
has certainly disproved the oft-repeat-
ed and generally believed assertion,
that the Indian will not work; that
the African is lazy and shiftless; that
neither know the value of money, and
that both are dying out. Long live

In recent years the Greeks have taken
up the business and hundreds have
grown rich in business. In Chicago
recently two Greeks, Georgis & Bugus,
of 1854 South State street, filed a lease
for their eight-foot store at rental of
$275 month, in the recorders office.
William ]. Georges, who is 81 years
old, came to Chicago five years ago
and obtained a place as a bootblack
with Jim Bugus, who then had shoe
shining stand in the Palmer House.
Later the two formed a partnership.
Last February, Georgis, who is known
to his patrons as Little Joe,' bought
a lot at Sixty-third street and Fifty
sixth avenue for $500, and erected
brick building costing $4,000. Other
Greeks have amassed fortunes of $780,
900 to $4,000 in the shoe shining bust
ness.

cent interview: II have nothing
against the Jews personally, but as a
Russian Patriot, am opposed to them
If the Jews were given freedom in
Russia, the entire native population, be-

itself in the hands of the Jews. All
