POWERS. = A MODEST YOUNG MILLIONAIRE; A WOMAN WHO IS A “GOOD HATER.” When Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, “expectant bridegroom,” lout his application for a marriage license he wrote as the an- swer to question No. 4: > Jecupation—Capitalist.” Was not this a carrying of modesty to the extreme / What is a “capitalist ?” You are walking up Broadway with 1 young woman, bound for he theatre. Aman in rags, with a baby on his arm, addresses you, \ vhining out some Jame yarn about illness at home, &e. Your knowl- edge of life in “gay New York” tells you that the man is a fraud, that no one needs to beg in New York City. But there is the/young she may not know the truth about New York street-beg- gisg; she may get an idea that you are a mean, stingy fellow. So you give the man 10 cents. The man dodges around into a side street, goes in at a “family (ne ss woma) feletetteie eee y y entrance” and buys a drink of whiskey. a {oa (7) Y L, Ve You have created a capitalist.

This illustration is humble, but it serves the purpose of show- ing how extremely modest young Mr. Vanderbilt is. Every human being is a capitalist, just as every human heing And in the production of weulth every producer is at the same time capitalist and laborer. If you are a merchant, to bring your stored-up wealth into activity you must use your brains; and that makes you a laborer. If you are a shoveller, to make your labor produc- tive you must employ your stored-up physical energy—your capital; and that makes you a capitalist. If Mr. Vanderbilt had thought for a moment he might possibly have written instead of “Occupation—Capitalist,” the equally mod- est, equally vague and equally general line: “Occupation—Laborer.” Or this, which comes to the same thing: “Oceupation—Human being.” fm anit Get up five or six times a night at your wife's behest and go down into the basement to “look at” the furnace.

Of course, in advocating the reading of fiction I refer to the good books. There are no strong men writing Sunday- achool books.
