THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) HOARDERS s for hoarding any particular article | or picture postals? selling an amazing | late eccentric Mrs. | ye you a weakne: such as old ¢goins, stamps, fossils, ching In Galion, Ohio, an auctioneer has been mess of “treasure” accumulated by the Emma Lee. Her old home, when she died recently, was found packed to the ceilings from cellar to garret with a clutter of dishes, tinware, and thousands of household articles which + had | been accumulating and adding to her hoard for 80 years The house looked like a warehouse for a general store. ; So much stuff stood about in boxes and barrels, piled on top|} of each other, that the owner had only a narrow lane for moving through the rooms. Though 37 wagonloads of “junk” have been hauled to the} dump, the auctioneer says it will take weeks to sell what’s left. Older readers will recall that Cassie Chadwick had a sim-| ilar weakness for collecting, though she cluttered her home With precious articles such as oriental rugs and porcelains. The people of Galion are puzzled to understand what} caused Mrs..Lee to hoard such an array of utensils that she never used—for instance, dishes by the thousands. : But she was merely the victim of an exaggeration of the fioarding instinct that is in all of us. The stamp collector is in her class, on a smaller scale. | And Mrs. Lee, in hoarding thousands of utensils, was just. ne the millionaire who hoards more money than he he rich man can't take his dollars with him when any more than Mrs. Lee could take her old curiosity as neec he di shop. No doubt, she got as much satisfaction out of sitting and contemplating her hoard as the rich man chuckling over his bankbook. She, at least, saved something useful. » The squirrel hoards just enough nuts to last him and hi family through the winter. When he gets sufficient, he quits, The hoarding instinct, peculiarly charactertistic of man, is found in very few forms of life. Rats and crows occasion- ally hoard articles useless to them. In the Yukon there is a mountain rodent known as the “trade rat,” which will rob a cabin of everything it can carry to its nest—and leave, in exchange for each stolen article, a twig or chip of wood. A prospector up there is apt to return to his home and find 1t rifled, with a pile of chips heaped on the floor in trade. The black bear also will plunder a cabin, even taking a stove to pieces,-but he carries each article in a different di- rection — scatters the flour on the ground and the other articles so far apart and away that the owner would have to hunt a year to gather his furnishings together again. RICHEST Hugo Stinnes worth only a fifth as much as Henry! Ford, world’s richest man, figuring Ford’s fortune at 550} Tnillions. Ford really is richer, for his annual business in- come (before the tax man gets him) is equivalent to 5 per) cent interest on 2380 million dollars. The elder Rockefeller would still be richer than Hen if he hadn’t given away and endowed by hundreds of mil-j lions until today only 800 to 500 million dollars stand betwe him and the poorhouse.
