EASY MONEY.
BY EARL GOODWIN.

Half dozen men sitting in the grin
room of the National Press Club were
talking about "easy money and the way
great wealth suddenly springs out or the
earth sometimes and envelops a wholly
unsuspecting mechanic or other plain IN
dividual who happens to light upon

men in this city and sold. without the
slightest effort, two volumes OF an
especially notable and rare limited edi-

You can always sell an expensive

to promote a perfectly legitimate stock

to invest in anything that looked like a
safe proposition that would pay IS or 100
per cent a month dividends. The Plant
ers' Hotel was crowded with bunch OF
, good looking fellows who were unloading
on the town at that time. One Of these
chaps was particularly lucky. He had
stayed there for three months. and when
he got ready to leave one of the boys
asked him:

He used to bother the life out of every
body with it and used to borrow about
$40 a month regularly to foster that
scheme. One day he announced that with
$40 more he would have it in working
order. Well. he had harder time get
ting that $40 than most men have In
raising forty million.
But he got it. l saw him last week.
and he has seven automobiles. eight
houses, runs three banks and owns a
steam yacht. What was it? Oh, some

pearl tops on lamp chimneys and got
$500 600 in cash for it. He was a dirty
blower too and the way he spent that
money was sin. He went broke in
less than five years. and then went back
to work. They used to have scheme OF
counting or gathering bottles in the old
glass works. Well, this spendthrift fixed
a machine to do away with the kids, and
every glass worker in the world had to
buy the machine. Then that fellow start
ed in to corner the bottle market, and
he came near doing it. He was an igno-
rant, low down blower, but he began to
gather in money till he nearly choked
with it. But do you think he ever got

THAT reminds me of old Bill Horley, :
said a New England writer bill found
a way to bore cylinders for gasoline
engines and a big firm hired him. The
gasoline engine business increased and
before you knew it Bill had royalty con-
tracts with nearly every concern in the
world But the more money he got the
dirtier he got. You would actually have
to tell him when to spend little money.
The boys used to lead him around from
place to place and do his shopping for
him.

other The president Of the works asked
Bill to run him down to the bank to
cash a check. Sure said Bill, Jump

he pulled out $4,000 in checks that he

a noted character. He had met the

KING GEORGE MAKES REFORMS.
Relieves His Future Hosts Of Some
Expense in Entertaining.
Correspondence OF The Star.

fOTe1SH correspondence OIL LIE
LONDON, August %, 1913.
To the great relief of his many hosts,
King George has decided that in the
future the cost Of the temporary private
post and telegraph Office always estab-
lished at any house he visits for more
than twenty four hours shall be met out
Of his own private purse, and not borne
by his hosts as hitherto. This temporary
telegraph office generally costs about
$500 to the host, but of course this sum
is a mere drop in the ocean COM
pared with the entire cost Of a fairly
long royal visit.
The late Duke of Devonshre, who en-
tertained King Edward in such sumptu-
Gus STYLE usually spent about $4,000 on
a long royal visit. The grounds at
ChatsWorth used to be illuminated every
night and whole hotels were taken for
the accommodation of the servants and
retinue of the huge house parties as
sernbled there. Those days have now
passed forever.
The present king has effected enormous
economies both at Buckingham Palace
and at Winsor Castle. and he els strongly
against the spending of large sums by
his subjects, however evxalted or rich
they may be, in the entertainment Of
members of the royal family. Unlike his
father, King George shuns rather than
courts the friendship of rich magnates OF
obscure origin, and the great merchant
princes have to take a back seat under
the new regime.

troduced himself, made nice remarks
about the farm and let the folks know
where he was stopping. and all that sort
of thing. The news of his cruises around
the farms drifted into tow1., and this
smart chap went to the cashier of the
bank at the right moment precisely and
said:
here The farms are fine. 1 don't mind
telling you that / want to make an In
vestment in some farm lands in this
county. and If you want to do me a
favor l can let the banks handle a good
bunch Of Chicago money I've got to go

rectors' meetings, but I'll be back in ten

you know two or three people who have
good farms for sale I'll buy. No fancy

"rhen he left. He blew back to st.
Louis for ten days and attended strictly
to his own business. When he returned
to the small town the cashier had four
of the finest farms In the county waiting
for him at four of the fanciest prices
that ever were known to the rural dis
tricts of the rich middle west The prop
osition looked good to the mysterious mil
lionaire-at least; he said 50: but at the
moment when the deal appeared to be
ready to break one way or another the
stranger hauled the cashier into a close
mouthed conference over mint julep:

The board of trade has agreed with the
