HN J. MDEVITT of Wilkes-Barre, who won a wager of $1,000 and is due here to-day on a $600 special train to spend the other $400 and enjoy a millionaire’s sensations for the moment, is demonstrating something worth while. He will show that modern civilization has made it possible for every one to live like @ lord at a modest figure. Considering what you get, noth- ing is 60 cheap as enjoyment. ‘Twenty-five dollars a week will do the trick. Nobody can spend much more without wallowing in philanthropy or vicarious folly. For one dollar @ day @ man can keep himacif drumk on standard whiskey. For two dollars he can see the best Broadway show from the best seat, and if he sees more than two shows in a week it will be work, not play. How can he spend more than $5 on a meal—that is, for food alone? The sum would buy a twenty-pound turkey at market rates, and a turkey of that weight would last quite a while. After the best meals one can digest and the best shows one can see there will be enough left of his $25 to enable him to sleep for seven, nights in a bed of downy softness in a room perfectly appointed. — | There is limit to a man’s capacity for purely selfish enjoyment, and it may be reached before a moderate income is exhausted, The Klondike miner dropping into a Broadway lobster palace and de- manding “thirty-five dollars’ worth of ham and eggs” made this point without knowing it. Millionaires—people like Andrew Car- ie, with his income of $10,000 a.da ~spend more than twenty ve dollars a week, but not on themgel Some of them light cigars with ten-dollar bills or “bet a million dollars.” Others be- stow libraries or tips. The only advantage the millionaire has over the rest of us in the matter of enjoyment is that he can afford the time to take it. His money works while he sleeps. The rest of us have the means to bo very foolish, but not the time. That is why most of us last longer than he docs. a eee eeY THE DEAD FIRE-FIGHTER. Ww AA PE eae SRLS SA MM ee eee The Carriage Waits # By Maurice Ketten||. ATTALION CHIEF WALSH faced a soldier's perile and did a B soldier’s duty at the Equitable Building fire. Hfs death at hie post was aa heroig as any met in battle. His figure, doomed yet unafraid, typifies the men whose devotion is the community's bulwark againet immeasurable calamity. ‘The opportunity to testify to hie service and theirs, through the fund in behalf of his widow and five children which The Evening World has organized with the assent of the Fire Commissioner, should appeal to every New Yorker. PSAP er On aaa WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. EES ROOSEVELT, HITS TAFT,” is a newspaper head- line over the story of a lawyer who went from a con- ference with the ex-President to attack the President in a speech before, suburban club. The headline would cover most of the activity of the men who have been fighting Taft. From the mement Roosevelt quit the White House he has been to disgruntled Republicans just what David was in the Cave of Adullam, when ‘every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him, and he became « captain over them.” Pinchot saw Roosevelt—went to Europe to meet him on the vetern from Africa—and then hit Taft. La Follette made « pilgrim- age te Oyster Bay, and came y denouncing Taft. Garfield saw Nessevelt, and hit Taft. Bourne saw Roosevelt, and hit Taft. Brery enemy of the President hes been greeted with open arms by the ex-President, and hes gone forth from the interview assailing “the embodiment of My Policies.” Oyster Bay and The Outlook offices have served as bulletin boards on which the anti-Taft forces hostile manifestoes. Secretary Stimson is considered because he saw Roosevelt—and did not hit Taft. Bomebody, not a Federal office holder, could make e national repatation as a practical joker by seeing “T. R.” and then eulogizing BULL” = The Governor of Michigan ought to tackle this job. ——_-+-2_____.. WIND AND SUN. MERIOA'S distinguishing mark {s not ite chore line, rivers or mountains, but ite weather, of which we are having a good deal just now Europe has no such wild winters, such flerce summers, ee our own. People sleep out nights in the London parks in January and wear overcoats when seeing Berlin’s nocturnal life im August. Wherefore, it is chiefly the weather that is making the Ameri- can type. Buckle has it that Asiatic ecencry stimulates the imagin- | ation and subdues the understanding, and that in Europo it is the | other way around. If he had written his great work after Americans | Legan to keep official track of their weather, he might have rounded it all up this way—that the Asiatic worships Nature as his god, the European uses it as his servant and the American fights it as his beneficent enemy. | The American’s square jaws and cheek bones Indian-high are the product of this warfare, His belligerent temperament, his vio- lent propensities, his fondness for variety, his habit of “moving on” are the gifts of “general humidity” alternating with the nor'weater. It is not without meteorological significance that his stoves, iced- fripks and vacation-flittings have world-wide fame, Leroy-Beaulieu says that Americans have but one equable sea- son—Autumn, Because elections come then, they usually register a conservative verdict. 2 s from the People Letter mene jo Cateh.” | separa ‘ing them at each leap, I wish to Fo the Editor of The Evening World: state that, accarding to Referring to the dog and rabbit prod: | t!
