At Ska, Okk Lono Island, Sept. 10. 1 wits tralneil a practical printer, nnd I lovo tho printing buniiieant my voca tion Is that of n iiuwupnpor writer, and 1 lovo tlmt. Yet whenever 1 have twon asked what profession 1 would follow if I could tnko my choice my reply has boon. "A cupitnlist." To mo It hao nlwuyH seemed, as 1 doubt not it has to you, dear reader, thnt nu Ideal existence would bo posses sion of a Ug fortuno, with no worry about incoino savo how to spend it, with no demand on ono's energies savo pur suit of now plans for having fun. Out I take it all back. I do not want to bo n capitalist. I will stick to tho newspaper business, working hard for a living, racking my dull brain to ploaso both readers and managing editor, and when I fall back dono for, workod out, no longer abto to satisfy public and em ployeras it is said all writers fall back sooner or later I will tako up tho Btick and mlo and set typo. Anything but being a capitalist. This clmngo of heart is duo to n knowlodgo which I havo recently ac quired of tho capitalistic business. 1 havo discovered that it is not what it is cracked up to bo. I have studied an ob ject lesson hi capitalism till I have become convinced it is a thing to bo slimmed as wo would fly from the nimblu germ of cholera or tho insidious bacillus of yellow fever. This object lesson is my host on board tho gallant yacht which is now steaming toward Now York harbor. It is not nice to Bit down and gossip about one's host to uso him as an ob ject lesson but in this instance I delib erately violate good tasto in order to ac complish tho worthy purposo of con vincing hundreds of thousands of read ers who aro not capitalists, but who yearn to bo capitalists, that they will lw mncli better off if tlioy remain what they nro. Two or three years ago out in Idaho was a young miner. Ho worked with his hands down in tho bowels of the earth, wielding a pick or a spado, some times (or others nt to much per day sometimes tor himself in claims located by himself or partners. Ho was a steady and industrious young man, and in course of time saved up $12,000 or $l.r,,000. Another miner had a claim for sale and offered it to our hero. Tho latter, whose name was Do Lamar, examined the mine with the alertness and acutcueKsof an expert. Ho concluded it was a good thing and offered $7,000 for it. But this offer was not accepted. Tho owner had hopes of getting u bigger price from Senator Jones, of Nevada, whoso agent was at that very moment inspecting the property. Senator Jones is ono of the keenest men in tho world on mines, now that Senator Hearst is dead. If ho had gom to Idaho K.mself hn would havo bought this mine if it had cost lilin fSOO.OOO But his agent was not enthusiastic, and tho best tho senator would do was $10. 000. Young Do Lamar saw this $10,000 and went it $2,000 better, and for $12. 000 the mine became his. Ho knew ho had a good thing, but. Ids wildest dreams had never pictured the reality. In three mouths the promising mine tho west is full of promising mines had been developed into one of tho richest finds in all Idaho. Iiiste.ul of thousnuds it was worth millions. All good tilings come to New York for a market. De Liunnr brought hU mine to Gotham, but was induced to go m In London. "New York has silver, but Loudon has gold," said Tom Ochiltree to whom the young Idaho miner had been introduced. "Loudon is the place to Hnaucu a big thing. Over there mil lions Ho idlo yearning for investment." So Do Lamar and Ochiltree went on to London. The latter had entree ovei there. Ho knew clubmen, lords, mil lionaires galoro. Ho was popular with them I'ecntiho his stories had made them laugh. They had confidence in him becauso ho was trusted by John Mackay, although perhaps they didn't know that Mackay paid Ochiltree $r.000 a year to eutertaiti him $5,000 a year to be a millionaire's court clown. Do L'tinar knew this, but ho didn't care, "Tom i a good clown and earns his money, r .1 he is a Miuaru man and can get in witli those rich nobs on the other hide, ami that's all 1 want." They did get in with tho nobs on the other side. They talked mine to them, Experts were bent all tho way to Idaho. The surveys and assays wrro verified, for nowadays our English fi lends don'i buy American mines with their eye.t uhut. And tlnully u Loudon couijuin liouglit a two-thirds interest in Mr I) Lamar's mine for about fOOO.iiOd -$:t,000,000. This great Mini was p.ml in cash, and thus it was my host became n capitalist. In addition to the $J,l)()().(Ml() in cash he still owntd a thiid of the mine, and as it provid to l.e very, very uch the income fiun h t-haio Ims been tnon than young De Lamar could spend, lt alone the principal and the inteiv' upon it! "Lucky De Lauiiir," the world sai I "Lucky boy." he said to biun-elf. Tin u he stai W d out to en joy his millions. Tli world was at his feet. lie could, v. it the limbic power of money, do aln, -anything width he ungiit chance tn u iu. to do. He hml dreams ot pleasure l triumph, of luxury. For about a year and a half Do L.iiun has tasted the d'liglils of gieat wealt -uud he is tiled nf it. He is weary of l. ing a capitalist. He ulino.-t wishes him fcelf back in the mines, pick in hand, dm tier pail waiting for him at the shaft. De Lamar has had a strange, a uuiiiiu career for eighteen mouths. He him been a man marked by hli wealth, Iti has been set apart from tho remainder of mankind by his$:i,(H)0,(K)0or fl.OKO.l.O I hi spot cash. And Igieatly fear his gold has put an tmpctict ruble netting about htm, keeping him from the sweets of life the Mitels of life from him. First ho tried society at Wnsliington Ho had known Russell Harrison in Mon tana and rather liked him. i'rluco Huh soil "took htm up" at tho capital, In troduced him, and I supposo borrowed money from him. Having millions, tho young miner was much sought. Hut Imi lug a man of good sense, ho didn't enjoy having people run after him simply be cause ho was rich. You see, the fly in De Lamar's ointment is that ho is a man as well as n millionaire. If he were a cad ho would bo perfectly happy. For instance, in Washington he drove n span of beautiful Russian horses. He was fond of taking to drive tho people he liked, but when these same people con trived to work tho society columns of tho papers for advertising on account of tho ride De Lamar was disgusted. H liked Russell Harrison anil Mrs. Harri son and Mrs. McKoo, because they were kind to him and good companions, and he gave a dinner to Mrs, McKee, at which tho flowers cost a cool $500; tho electric lights, arranged for lcautiful and novel effects, $1,000, and a singer, imported from New York, an oven $1,000, Mr. De Lamar did not euro for expenses; his only aim was to please his friends. Hut when the newspapers wrote up tlio dinner, as tho newspapers know how to do, he was sorry ho had given it. Ho wants pleas ure for his friends and himself; ho does not want notoriety. Of course, you porceivo his difficulty. If he live and entertain modestly, peo ple say ho Is miserly with his great wealth; If ho does tho generous thing, as it is always his Impulse to do, they say ho is making a splurge with his money that ho is a golden calf. Another instance of tho disadvantages of being a capitalist, and also an example of our hero's good souse tho diplomatic set in Washington took him up, of course. Tho young attaches tied to him becauso ho had horses and dinners and generosity. Good naturedly ho humored them; made up coaching parties, paying all bills; bought all tho boxes at tho theater, turned it over to tho attaches and their ladies, winding up with a rich supper nt the Shoreham. How did the attaches return this cour tesy? As cads might bo expected to re turn it. They left their cards at Mr. Do Lamar'a hotel, Instead of calling on him. Ono day in tho hotel office Do La mar surprised a group of them who had left cards and were about to disappear. His patience was exhausted, and his western frankness caino to tho front. "D u you follows," said ho, "why dou't you come up to my room and call like men? I am not a bom aristocrat, but I appear to lw good enough for you to associate with elsewhere. It hap pens that I have plenty of money, while you chaps havo what your fathers give you. But what difference docs that make? If you want to bo friendly, ask mo around the corner to havo a glass of beer, offer mo one of your infernal cig urcttes, or do hoinetliing to show you are friends. That's all I want." Tho attaches were greatly shocked. They talked of challenging De Lamar, but didn't. The Idaho Monte Cristo soon left Washington, convinced that society there was hollow, iusiucoro, tuft hunting. Ho tried Europe and didn't liko it any better. Ho tried NowtHirt, and found no relief there. Then he camo down to New York. Hero, as elsewhere, life was made a burdeu. The beggars were after him well dressed, plausible beggars. Schom ers and borrowers bought him out. His mail was full of plaintive appeals, de lusive offers. Women lay in wait for him by tho thousands home on their own account, some for their marriage able daughters. While a poor man he had helped one girl to secure an education and to win success on the stage. When this became known thoiisandsof stagestruck maidens bcieged him, Actresie.s were after him to secure his assistance in starting their companies on the road. Imagine tho unfortunate lot of this young man. It is impossible for him to stir without being pointed out as the rich De Lamar, who has .$!,000.000 in cold cash. The waiters kuow him, cab drivers kuow him, everybody knows him. If he were a fool, liko Coal Oil Johnny, ho would throw his money around and have fun seeing the humuii monkeys t-crnmhlo for it. But ho is a man of good sense, with the instincts of a gentleman ii rough diamond; he is nut fond of drink, of vice in any form, nor of gaming. 1 Ho would lilce to enjoy life, but hasn't found the menus. Ho has much money, with which he is generous, but he doesn't propoMj to bo made a dupe of b scheming men and women, and half hi tlinn is spent protecting that which he values more th.iu his money his repu tation for shrewdness, tact and dUceru incut. Finally the pressure became so great in New York that De Lamar bought thi yacht to make his escape in. Inviting his friends aboard, ho cruises about. He i enjoys good companionship, bright but sensible conversation, better than more dashing pursuits of pleasure. He is him self unaffected, keen, sympathetic, nu 1 spoiled by luck His chief fault or niN fortune Is his possession of tlueo or four millions of money. Some day perhaps he will become desperate enough to thiow his millions overboard and be luippi!
