RICHEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD
CONTINUED from psge u

1t. in order to turn another honest
penny.
Once fully launched on her career
of finance, Mrs. Green's parsimony
and iron handed methods made her a
worldwide figure. She lived for years
in tenement where a dollar day
was sufficient for her table. She wore
the same old hat and gown for years.
Personally Hetty Green was very
eccentric. She always went to her
Office and worked on her birthday.
She thought the wasting of whole
day on anything but business was a
crime Her favorite odd habit was
to boil an onion every day and carry
a piece of it around in her pocket.
nibbling it while she worked. She did
this regularly for nearly quarter of
q century.
Each day she walked, usually, to
save carfare, to her office in the
Chemical National bank in New York.
There she made the kings Of finance
bow to her. In reply to a Chicago
minister who wrote her that she
would be lost in heaven If she in
sisted on her money from q $4,000
mortgage on his church, she said
You had better pray for my soul
then, because I'm going to foreclose
within thirty days." And she did.
To avoid paying taxes on her enor-
nous wealth, she always maintained
q legal residence in Vermont.

Hamilton, I'LL, July 8

One more day to the Fourth! How
we youngsters used to revel In the
anticipations OF the unheard of joys
wrapped up in half dozen punches
Of small firecrackers! In those days
we never saw any other fireworks.
though there was usually q plenty OF
spread-eagleism. But in whatever
form 1t Is manifest there has always
been a full supply OF deep. self
sacrificing devotion to our ideals
among the people OF these United
States. The dark days at Valley
Forge, the intrepid movements on
the coast OF Tripoli. the defense Of
the Alamo, the outpouring of blood at
Antietam, Gettysburg and countless
other fields OF the south, no less than
the hecric sacrifice made by Captain
Boyd when he gave his Lfe-blood
over the Mexican common at Car
rial, show as high and deep regard
for country as was shown by Greeks
at Thermopylae. or by Arnold Wink
elried before the stubborn Austrians.
AS we have noted before, Hamil-
ton will entertain all. who enjoy base
ball, at Fairview park, also have an
all day celebration and picnic at the
chautauqua grounds, Gordon's grove.

WILL CELEBRATE
NATIONS BIRTH.
Young and Old keokuk Preparing to
Salute Natal Day Of These
United States To-
morrow.
NO PUBLIC OBSERVANCE
Picnic Parties, Firecrackers, Lemon
ade and Ice Cream Cones Will
all Help to Make
Holiday.

KeoAuk. from present indications,
will spend its Fourth of July holiday
tomorrow seeking cool hooks and
Ideal picnic grounds, or else at home
with the electric fans and cooling
drinks. The summer weather which
has been our portion for week,
promises to continue over tomorrow
and the weather at least will give an
exhibition of the old fashioned Fourth
OF July days.
Young Keokuk was busy today
crowding the stores where tempting
red packages are sold for five and
ten cents and where Roman candles,
pinwheels, skyrockets and torpedoes
fairly drag the nickels out Of the old
tin bank. Some OF these will start
the salute to the national holiday to-
night at midnight, while others will
be up with the sun In the morning,
much to the disgust OF neighbors
who would like to sleep.
No special celebration has been
planned for Keokuk's observance Of
the day. There will be the Moose
bathing beach, Bluff Park and other
nearby places for the days outing.
Nauvoo Is going to have a
celebration which may attract a num-
Der. River excursions may draw
some, and there are 1nnumerable
private picnic parties planned for
the city parks. The members of the
Eagles and their families will cele-
brate at Eagles camp across the river
in Dickinson's grove.
While there have been several
cases Of premature celebration OF the
day, as general thing, Keokuk has
been quieter before the Fourth than
in previous years. Perhaps the order
from the police department has held
the exuberant youngsters in check.
The lid will be off tonight at mid
night, however, for twenty-four hours
of noise, powder burns, explosions,
fires, peanuts, pop and sandwiches.
ice cream cones and numerous other
implements for celebration

difficulty of sustaining his forces on
the arid land below the border.
The war department explained. to-
day that while IT was without official
information as to how far Pershing
had retired, his concentration was
based on good military strategy. Par
ticularly was this true because Of the
difficulty Of sustaining Pershing's
forces and especially his horses in
the arid country below the border
where the rainy season has failed to
appear.
It was announced at the press
bureau today that there Is no reason
for a complete withdrawal. provided
Pershing's lines stretch only 100 miles
south of the border The bureau, how
ever, referred inquirers to the white
house and state department.
Concentration Of Pershfng's line
gave rise to a report that Pershing
himself had quit the armv. This was
officially denied.
