Heveller. It la generally agreed that Jonn D. Rocke feller is the richest man In the world to day, but that he Is the richest manu his tory Is far from certain. Hundreds and thousands of years ago there lived men whose wealth. Judging by Us purchasing power In their time, probably greatly cceded his. Croesus; king of Lydla, to whom sir.- Rockefeller la oft. a compared, wned a m-hole empire wild Incidentally died dead broka. There were plutocrats in ancient Egypt and Raima whose riches were so vast that they had to employ ar mies of men to ooUeci their reveaues. Koine of these antique billionaires were high livers and one of them once gave a dinner. which cost more than fl.uMOU). Be. side that the extravagancies of John D. pale. Nearer our own time waa Patloiakln, fa vorite of the Empress Catherine II of Rus sia, and the most famous spendthrift' of modern times. Patlomkin begaa life as a tteiileoaat la the Russian Imperial Guards, and on the day that Catherine seised the throne from her drunken husband had the good fortune to encounter her. She was In uniform at the time, but lacked the plume which Russian officers then always wore in tneir helmets. Patlomkin piucked out his own plume and handed It to the empress. 6he smiled, placed It in her hair and Patiomkln'a fortune was made. Catherine la her day was a much-married lady and most of her morganatic hus bands were Apollos. but Patlomkin, who had the honor of being one of them, waa a man of ugly and forbidding appearance. He was fat, misshapen and bald and had lost an eye, and his manner waa gruff and unoouth. But all the same be waa a man of splendid Imagination and for many years after Catherine deserted him for an other he held a post at the Russian court comparable to that once held by Mr. Harry Lehr In New York society. In brief, be was the official master of the revels and superintendent of entertainments. Patlomkin was a moat unscrupulous grafter and made money rapidly. Within a year after he took up his residence at court U was commonly reported that ha was worth 5,0uO.00O. Tea years later ha income of fcai.OwKuijg a year. Catherine owned NM,0OQ acres of land, twenty palaces. 40,X) slaves and waa reputed to have an made him prince of the Taurla, grand ad miral of the Euxlne and presented him with a magnificent marble palace in St. Petersburg the same Tauride palace In which the recent Duma held IU sessions. He grew richer and richer and Anally ac cumulated so much money that he found It utterly out of the question to spend it. But when Catherine set out upon her hl torical journey through the Crimea, even Patlomkin managed to make an appreciable dent In his fortune. The arrangements for the trip were placed In his hands and he made It one long, glittering reveL At his own expense he constructed 600 miles of road and provided sleighs for the entire court. Catharine's own sleigh was large enough to bold, eight persons. la It the empress dined and slept, and each evening the cur tains were let down, fires were lighted and she entertained her traveling companions at card a Thirty horses drew this gigantic conveyance and there were fresh relays every five miles. It Is estimated tbut the mere transportation of the court cost Patlomkin r.0u,0uu. But that waa not all. by any means. Be side hauling the queen and her friends, ha had te entertain them. And so there were halts every few days to enjoy vast festivities. It took twenty-one days to reach Kief. where Catherine took ahlp on the rivers Borysthenes and Dnieper for the lower Crimea. Patlomkin provided eighty of the largest ships he cowld find, and each one had a band aboard. Every member of the party aa given a state room and a silting room, both hung with silk, and for Cath erine herself there was an entire ship. In all 8,000 servants were needed to look after the travelers, not to speak of S.0U) sailors and 10.UJO soldiers. Patlomkin paid all bills. "On the slow voyage down the river," says a historian, "the most wonderful sights presented themselves, which led those who gased on thero. in surprise to Im agine that they were really witnessing splendid theaUkal tableaux. For every where they stopped tliey saw. not the dreary and arid desert they expected, but prairies covered with herds of sheep and goats, attended by shepherds playing on pipes, in the foreground of which rose pic turesque villages and towns peopled, not by the old. but by youths and maidens brightly dressed, who tripped down to the shore as they might to the footlights, singing the quaint airs ot their native land. "At every stopping place the same scene, animated with people strikingly alike, waa presented, the explanation being that Patl omkin had. by his all-powerful will, forced these people to leave them homes In Little Russia and betake themselves to the shores of the river, so that In passing the empress and her guests might see, not de serted plains, but happy villages, with loyal people ready to welcome and acclaim her. No sooner had her majesty's galleys moved onward than these people, taking cross roads by night, transported themselves to the next pasteboard village on her route, and went through the same performance of rushing down to the shore and singing their native songs. "It is stated that over 1,000 villages In Little Russia were Jn this way depopu lated of their Inhabitants, and of their nocks, to station themselves on the river, and that In their long Journey homeward many of them died of fatigue." Baltimore Sun. Bee Waul Ads for Business Boosters. OsJy the Bogy Maa. . It had been a hard day for Mike Klnne- gan, the "ragman." Many and varied had been his wanderings, but no one seemed In clined to dispose of rags. As he waa mak ing his way homeward at the close of this hot July day, through one of the tenement sections of the city, he heard a cry from above. Looking up he saw a woman at a sixth-story window violently beckoning to him. Mike's heart was full of hope aa he stumbled up the broken stairs. At the top he wss met by a woman hold ing a weeping child by the hand. "Hey, mister," cried the mother to the perspiring Mike, "don't you Uke bad little boys away In your big bag?" Harper's Weekly.
