OECEITFULNESS OF RICHES.
Pity the sorrows of the poor million
aire! Eugene Zimmerman of Cincinnati,
himself the possessor of millions, in a
recent address before the Business
Men's club of that city said:
"The miHionaire is an unhappy
man."
Why not?
He is a disappointed man. Having
made his millions by squeezing back
all that is best in him, he has fancied
large wealth will bring him large hap
piness, only to learn his mistake.
It is the human way.
Humans grow tired of any state of
life when it is long continued, and the
Btate of being rich is no exception. Be
ing a millionaire gets to be monoton
ous. And then
If the millionaire hopes by buying
luxury he can satisfy himself he is
doomed to further disappointment He
is like the boy whose appetite is cloyed
with much candy. Luxury, like every
thing else, soon palls.
He cannot buy what he wants.
Midas of old discovered that he could
not eat the golden streets. The mil
lionaire who thinks to satisfy himself
with money is like the famished trav
eler of the desert who found a bag
which he hoped might contain some
food. Upon examination he, hopeless,
threw it away, saying:
"Oh, it's only gold!"
Tired of his millions, the rich man
yearns for something he cannot get
He wants the things that are denied
him, which is the human way also.
"But," you say
"I should like to make the experi
ment." No doubt But we know not what
we ask. Inexperienced in the invest
ment and conservation of money, we
should no doubt make a mess of our
stewardship.
Give the money away?
That is the most difficult thing the
millionaire tries to do. It requires a
higher order of talent than to make
money. The rich man finds that he is
deceived at every turn and worked
upon. Seldom does he meet with grati
tude. Therefore it may be said, not in
Irony, but in very truth:
Pity the sorrows of the millionaire!
Skyrockets Before Gunpowder
It matters very little In the long run
to the small boy when, how or where
fireworks were first made and of what
they are made now. But the fact re
mains that the despised heathen Chi
nese first made them and used them
and that civilized communities did not
know of them until tbe fourteenth cen
tury. The kyrpoket wns first invent
ed toward the lose of the ninth cen
tury nnd at that time was used, ro it
is sjyd. in India mid t'hina in war.

BIG CROP CAUSES
SMALL SPUD DEMAND
With January nearly half gone, the
expected demand for potatoes has not
yet materialized. The market remains
about as near lifeless as in Decem
ber, and dealers aeclared there was
no assurance of any material improve
ment in the situation during the re
mainder of the month.- Ordinary to
fair grade Burbanks, at shipping
points, are said to be worth 90c to
$1 a hundred, and fancy stock $1 to
$110, but the Southern demand for
the time amounts to so little that buy
ers say they are practically out of the
market.
"The fact that the Oregon crop
proved bigger than had been antici
pated is one of the bear market fac
tors at this time," said a dealer. "An
other is the size of the California
crop, which also exceeded expecta
tions, and a third is the relatively
small -proportion of fancy stock jn the
1911 Oregon output.
"Heavy rains late in the maturing
season started new growth in the Ore
gon fields and made the output a far
greater one than it would otherwise
have been. At the same time, this
belated growth made for irregularity
in size and shape in the product, and
in that way did positive harm. The
result was an immense crop of more
or less inferior potatoes and a com
paratively small showing of superior
stock.
"I really believe that the growers
who have first-quality potatoes in their
pits will not lose anything by hold
ing them for a month or longer, for
the Southern buyers will in all prob
ability be in the market for that sort
of stock soon or late, and pay fair
prices for the product. Meantime,
the problem of disposing of the in
ferior stock confronts the growers,
but the chances are that the problem
will solve itself within the next month
or two.
"There is no use trying to sell in
a market short of buyers, and that is
the kind of a market we have just
now. I believe the situation will
mend somewhat all around a little
later and taking that view it Is proh
ably just as well that the farmers
hold off for a few weeks, until the
outlook in the South shows some im
provement." .
