The other day when the estate of
the late Anthony N. Brady was iap-
praised In New York 1t was learned
that his property, variousiy estim-
9 ated az from 500, ooo, 900 TO $685.
100000 in value. has turned out to
be only worth s7o.Ooo,0Oo. The es.
Inmates OF his wealth were based on
the opinions OF men we'll versed in
financial matters. That these men
should make such mistake calls to
mind the fact that similar excessive
estimates have been made on the
value of the estates Of other wealthy
men.
me similarity in value of Brady's
estate to that of other men OF great
wealth has caused a writer Of tinan-
cial facts in New York to hold to
the opinion that there is an econom.
&c law governing the accumulation
OF great wealth. He believes that
lew men can accumulate more than
Z $I0'0O0.000 In life time. He de.

and Rockefeller are vastly overes-
timated and although 1t may be
proven that they have more than

made men. he doubts that their
wealth will come anywhere near tho
estimates fixed by their friends. He

There always was some astonish-
ment over the finding OF The state
appraiser OF the value of the estate
of c. P. Huntington. 1Io had ac-
complished in the southern part of
the country what James !. Hill had
achieved near the Canadian boun-
Diary. for he had, like Mr.. Hill, al
most single handed constructed q,
railroad from the Pacific to tho
Mississippi Valley. He had also
built n city upon the Atlantic Coast.
Had his estate been found to be
in excess of $40. 900, 900 that find
ing would have been In accord with
the general estimates, hut the APP
praiser found it to be OF the money
value of approximately sso.eoo,oo
although appreciation OF some of
his securities increased lis value
some six or seven millions a,year or
two later.
The value of Mr.. Huntington's cs-
tate has always been regarded AZ
good proof that he. never was
money mad" and regarded achieve
uient as of far more consequence
than amassing a fortune. In. this
respect he differed from Mr.. Brady,
who was recognized as a money
maker pure and simple and who es-
timated the value of the Industrial
and other corporations with which
he was associated solely by money
standards.

This is true, indeed. A woman may

ton. It is said of the American and
English women that the reason they
have not that indeinable air Of style,
which is so largely part OF the
French woman charm, is that they
leave too much TO the dressmaker and
put too little of themselves into their
gowns. The result is that they are
well dressed but OF the lack the quali

Draws From Best Stables.
The Evening Horse Show at the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 7-12, will
be attended this year by more horses
of national reputation than at any
time previously. This is to result
from a general increase in premium
money in nearly every class.
The Show will be managed in the
sameiway as the noted Horse Shows
at Madison Square Garden, New York;
Chicago and Kansas City. The Coli
scum will be decorated deliberately,
and every convenience and comfort
possible will be arranged. 1t is ex-
pected that large audience will be
present seach evening. Several high
priced vaudeville acts will be placed
on every program, and two noted
bands win play.
Many noted horsemen from the
East and South have sisnifed their
intention OF entering their champion
horses. There appears to be unusual
interest among driving and riding
horse owners in the Northwest.

Within territory under the rule of
Uncle Sam there were 1O9O21,922
persons living on July 1, 1914, ac-
cording to the latest census bulletin
prepared under the supervision of c..
S. Sloane, geographer of the Depart
ment of Commerce. The population
of the forty-eight states of the Union
and the District of Columbia in 1914
is 98,7S1,324 whereas in 1910 it was
91,972,266, showing an increase in
the last four years of almost 7,O0O,-
900. Minnesota has a population of
2,213,919, a gain of about 100000 in
the last four years; in comparing
this gain with that Of Wisconsin we
find that the latter falls behind about
$4,000 while the Dakotas fall still
farther in the rear. The reason for
Minnesota's lead seems to be the
large number Of immigrants which
has been attracted hither; this state
having received more than all neigh
boring states combined.
