It has often been wondered why foreigners, ‘and especially Germans, who have become very wealthy in this country, so seldom return to their own country and their own kindred to live out their remaining days. They are through making money and all they now have to do is to enjoy themselves. The reason they jo not return to their native land is plain, after it has once been explained. The whole question is solved in the fact that wealth will not lift a butcher boy's son even to the social status of a mechanic. There are probably few places in the United States where better information can be had on this point than in St. Louis, anda Globe Democrat representative was entertained for @ couple of hours the other day on it by a Party of wealthy Germans. Said one of them: “An American who has made money, no matter what his parents did for a living, can go to Germany, or any other foreign countr ‘and acquire a befitting social rank. But tak @ German, an Englishman, an Irishman, a Frenchman or an Italian, and wealth made in this country will not give him social_posi- tion above that of his father or grandfather beforehim. ‘The lines are closely drawn, and they are drawn for good and keeps.” The speaker was asked if he could cite any certain case of this kind, and he replied by giv ing the name of a lady, one of wealth, refine ment and intelligence, who should be received in any class of society and whe is regarded as an ornament to society here. The name is, of conrse, withheld. “Mrs. —— would, I know, like very much to live most of her time in the part of Germany where she was born and raised, among ber relatives, but she cannot do so’ with any de- gree of enjoyment. She tried it once and bad enough of it ina very short time. Here she is recvived in the best of society and is regarded as the equal of any. Over there she is plain Mrs. —, the daughter of a king’s foreste aud all her wealth could not raise her to t | notice or social status of a mechanic's wife. ‘The king’s forester is an individual who wears ® uniform and a three-cornered hat and carries a long staff, and bows and scrapes to everybody. He is not'on wocial equality e: th the butcher. and in her native country Mre. — remain his daughter eocialiy and be bound by his social status as long as sho lives. Education, refinement, intelligence, wealth — ail go for nothing. This, of course, would not suit her, and for aught there is in the father- land of ‘interest to her she might as well be formally exiled.” ‘The conversation here became very general and the comments were free and to ‘the point, emphasizing the unbearabieness of this condi- tion of affairs, “The point is just here,” said one: “We love the fatherland. We would enjoy living with our kindred and giving them some of the benefit of our success in this country. But we have enjoyed frce America and its business and social advantages and en- couragements too long to submit to such re- strictions, For instance, my father was a small farmer and gardener and I have near Telutives who are still in the same line. If I give them more importance in this voca- tion even and litt them up to the equal of their acquaintances regardless of business lines I would very gladly do so, and I would enjoy living among them a good portion of the time, but I might as well try to dry up the Mississippi river with a sponge as to make en effort in that direction, You can readily see that under such circumstances there is no pleasure for me oven in a visit, and I might say none for them either. Ihave money and can afford to enjoy life, but I can- not have social intercourse above ‘a gardener. ‘They are poor, work from morning to night, and wear wooden shoes, and in their limited sphere could not enjoy’ my money if I was to heap it on them. It is a good deal like one man having money and unother none. The one who has not cannot respond to the other's social expenditures, and by and by they be- come distasteful to him. It is the same way at | the theater. I might take my old German aunt toa of amusement, but I would have to seats where the social standing of the fam- ily directed.” —__+e+_—____ Mind Mysteries. From the Detroit Free Press. A gentleman of this city who has taken some interest in mind reading, hypnotism, telepathy and the like entered his office the other day, and just as he was sitting down thought of a friend whom he wanted very much to see on a matter of business. In less than a minute in walked the very person. i arrive” asked the gentlema: to the door about half a minut ciety,” said the gentleman, explaining what had happened. After his visitor went away he began think- ing it over. Then he suddenly recalled some. thing he had overlooked. On passing his office through another room he saw a gentleman reading « book with a peculiar binding. It reminded him of another book in similur bind- ing he had been reading at 8 summer resort the week before. This reminded him that he thought of going back there for another week of recreation and that reminded him that his friend had been down there, too, and was ex- pecting to go back with him. ‘Then be won- jered how tany similar mysterios might be rationally explained if the connection between one's thoughts could only be established. comers Las The first annual session of the Southern Af- ternoon Press Association was held at Dallas, Tex., Monday. |__A.
