John Jacob Astor appears to have in
herited tho quality of thrift from bis'an
cestors. The stories told about him in
tho vicinity of his office at Twenty-sixth
street nnd Broadway are scarcely credi
ble, in view of tho enormous wealth of
the present head of the Astor family in
America. The general idea of a hundred
millionaire is that when he gets shaved
nt n nnblio barber shon he trlves the
barber a tip. Mr. Astor, however, is not
misled by nny false idea of pride
TTnncn. when ho eoes into one of the bar

tho boy is slow to assist him off with hit

lowed the boy to clean it up thoroughly
with alcohol and soap and thon thanked
