Show A MILLIONAIRE FEAST. There was a great feast in Philadelphia Philadel-phia last Wednesday night. No one could enter the dining room of the magnificent country home of P. A. B Wirlenev nnlouc v, ..,,i,i " . check for over $1,000,000. "Birds of a feather flock together," but there are not so many birds with such feathers. The thirty-seven men seated around the table represented $500,000,000-. J. Pierpont Morgan was the guest of honor: hon-or: the others came from various cities. . 1 It may be "a fine thing to be rich" as the Irishman said of the millionaire who was buried in a marble coffin, but as a general thing the "four hundred" have not husky appetites. Many or them would give over a million for th goood health and the good digestion of the men who handle the tools of manual man-ual labor. We have read that the meals of Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. J. p. Morgan would not make a "bite" for one of their workingmen. Labor, after all, has its compensations. There are many blessings which the sons of toil enjoy that wealth cannot purchase "The ransom of a man's life is his riches." |
