YOUNG ASTOR
GETSJORTUNE
Between 8lxty and 8eventy Millions
Of Dollars Hlg Share Of
Father'a Estate
New York, Nov. 16. Two young
Bclons of well known American fam
ilies, both In times past considered
f potential heirs to vast fortunes came
' Into their majority today. Dut to tho
two young men tho date, "November
IB, 1912" told a vastly different story.
To William Vincent Astor, slend
er, bluo eyed, dark haired, tho twist
of tho calendar meant that ho bo
camo tho abBoluto master of tho es
tate of his father, John Jacob Astor,
valued at about $65,000,000.
To William Averill Harrlman, tall,
broad shouldered, son of America's
great railroad wizard, E. II. Harrl
man, tho day meant nothing moro
than ho had passed from tho period
of boyhood Into manhood. For by tho
remarkable will of his father, con
taining scarcely 100 words, tho en
tire Harrlman estate, amassed "by tho
genius of tho Httlo giant, was loft to
"my wife, Mary W. Harrlman, to bo
hers absolutely and forovcr.
Both Celebrated the Day
Although thoy did not exchnngo fe
licitations, both young men ended tho
day In much tho samo manner with
n, prlvnto celebration in tho bosom
of their respectlvo families. At about
tho time that young Astor wns en
Joying a birthday feast with his moth
er nnd sister, Muriel, at his country
place, Itblnoback, young Harrlman
wns dining with his mothor nnd a
few relatives and friends at tho Har
rlman home, No. 1 East Sixty-ninth
street. Jlarrimnn camo down from
Ynlo to bo with his family on his
natal day. Tho young man Is nn
upper classman at Yale, a member
of Psl Upsllon nndfchns rowed on both
freshmen nnd ulnvcrslty squads.
As though to emphasize tho feel
ing of responsibility that his Inher
itance has brought with It, Vlnvont
Astor spent flvo hours of tho day
which transformed htm Into tho
world's richest youth at his desk In
the Astor estate offlco In West Twenty-sixth
street.
I Stepmother's Gift
Among tho birthday gifts ho receiv
ed was n box containing twenty-one
red roses, a gift from his step moth-
er, Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, and
- another bunch of tho samo number
sent In tho namo of his baby broth
er. John Jacob Astor, whoso coming
Into tho world was such a vivid me
I mento of tho Titanic disaster.
"Thero Is nothing for mo to say,"
replied Vincent Astor, when efforts
wcro made to obtain an Interview.
"I Intend to enrry out tho plans bo
well mapped out by my father."
It Is said that young Astor's re
cent gifts to charity mount into tho
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

dapper young man today thought
that ho measured to tho Cornell de
scription and had his opinion con
firmed when ho saw tho man's right
hand.
Cornell will not discuss his case,
of which tho police havo no details.
MINDING YOUR
OWN BUSINESS
If everyone, would but mind his
own business nnd try to straighten
out his own affairs instead of spend
ing tlmo in solving others problems
tho world would bo better for tho
chnngo.
Many peoplo's energy Is spent liv
ing others lives for thorn deciding
questions which do not concern them
selves and criticising tho way others
do things. This generosity Is cer
tainly uncalled for, and this samo
expenditure of energy could be turn
od to bettor account solving prob
lems of their own or nrranglng their
own lives moro successfully.
When this living other peoplo's
lives for them comes to tho point of
giving ndvlco without it bolng ask
ed for, It becomes unwarranted In
terference. What right has an Individual to In
trudo Ideas and glvo ndvlco to anoth
er person when that person does not
wish for It? Moro harm has been
dono In this world by peoplo "butt
ing In" In other's affairs even when
It Is dono with tho best intentions
thnn in any other ono way.
Good or Bad Intentions
nut, very often, It Is not with tho
best Intentions that wo do Intorfero
with another, although wo may fool
ourselves with tho thought that It Is.
Wo are apt to think that our desire
Is a puro ono, ono that seoks only
to bo of help. Wo seo another In
difficulty and tell oursolvcu that wo
would Hko to help them out nnd so
go abend, either giving ndvlco or
worse still, talking about tho mattor
to othor peoplo, or attempting to
straighten out tho troublo with a
third person without ovon nsklng tho
ono who Is chiefly concerned for per
mission to do so. All tho tlmo If wo
wero only honest enough with our
solvcs to sift to tho bottom the so-
called deslro to help of which wo
nro so proud, wo would find that It
was nothing but tho old human fra
ilty of tending to other peoplo's busi
ness when wo ought to bo strictly
tending to our own.
This doesn't mean thnt wo shouldn't
help others when thoy want us to
do so There Is tho whnlo thing In
a nutshell whon thoy want us to
do id; but wo must romomber that
we havo no earthly right to Inter
fere unless thoy do want us. And It I
is bettor to err upon tho sldo of no
Interference thnn on tho othor sldo.
It Is hard not to put our finger In
tho pie, for It hns nlways been castor
to arrange other peoplo's affairs than
our own. Yet, It Is Just thoso fow
Individuals who are strong enough
to conduct that feeling and who go
about minding their own business and
lotting others mind theirs that stand
nbovo tho rank and fllo of tho av
crago person.
Tho Meddler
Certainly any woman who gets tho
reputation for Interfering nnd mod
dllng In othore affairs la not ono
who will bo wanted around a busi
ness office. Ono of tho first lessons to
bo learned If you nro to bo a suc
cess In life and In business Is not
to glvo ndvlco until It Is naked for
and not to meddlo In anyone's af
fairs .
If ono has a slncero deslro to bo
of help to others tho opportunity will
como without having to look for 1L
Advlco wjll bo sought nfter, aid will
bo asked. Then nnd then alone, has
ono tho right to step forward and try
to do their best to bo of real ser
vice. Anything else Is simply un
warranted Intrusion In another's Hfo
nnd tho deslro to do this should bo
destroyed tho second It makes Itself
apparent nnd not bo given a chanco
to llvo and grow. Only In this wny
can ono pass from tho rnnks of busy
bodies Into tho company of tho enp
ablo and ablo workers and hclpors
of tho world.
STORING SEED POTATOES
Seed potatoes In storage havo
thrco very dcflnlto requirements.
They must bo kept In a placo that
Is cool, well ventilated and dark.
That tho potatoes bo kept cool Is
most Important. Tho best tompcra
turo is from 33 to 35 degrees. If the
temperature, falls below 32 degrees
there is danger of freezing although
It takes a slightly lower temperature
to freeze potatoes than water. Good
ventilation Is necessary In order to
provent tho spiend of rot, and It Is
well to keep tho potatoes dark so
that they will not bo tempted to
sprout at any tlmo. A cool, dark,
well ventilated collar that Is fairly
dry Is tho best placo to store seed
potatoes on the ordinary farm. As
spring comes seed potatoes should
not bo allowed to send out tho long
pale, spindly shoots that are so of
ten seeii! This may bo proventcd
by keeping tho potatoes cool and
dark. Somo of tho eastern growors,
threo or four weoks beforo planting
time, spread their seed potatoes out
In tho light at a temperature of CO
to 70 degrees and hero allow them
to develop sprouts a half to an Inch
long. These aro strong, stubby lit
tle sprouts, that aro not broken off
In planting. It Is said that this
process both hastens tho maturity of
of tho crop and Increases tho yield.
But to allow potntocs to send out
long, spindling shoots that nro eas
ily broken In handling Is a bnd thing
for any kind of potatoes, seed or
markot. Wallace's Farmer.

"Our causo Is Just nnd must tri

ringing accents. "And now If any
lady cares to ask a question I shall
bo pleased to answer It."

THE TRAMP PROBLEM
IN ENGLAND
Tho trnmp problem In England Is
In a fair way of solution. Tho "way
tlckot" method of dealing with va
grancy Is a capital idea accomplish
ing tho revolution. Tho latest roport
on tho working of tho system indi
cates tlfat within a fow years tho
ranks of the ragged mandlcnnts will
ho reduced almost to n vanishing
point. 'The object of tho "wny tick
et" Is to give a better chanco to tho
unemployed who really want work
nnd to mnko tho way of tho profes
sional tramp as hard as possible. Tho
man who wants to work, but Is com
pelled to tnko to tho road, Is taken
Into tho poorhouse at night and re
leased next morning Instead of suf
fering tho usual period of detention
When leaving ho Is given n ticket
which entitles him to a certain al
lowance of bread and checso along
tho road ho Intends to take. Ho Is
also put In touch with tho local la
bor exchanges nnd everything pos
slblo la dono for him If ho shows
a genulno deBlro to obtain work. On
tho other hnnd the habitual tramp
obtains short shrift, After spending
tho night at tho poor house ho suf
fers tho usual period of dententlon
nnd gots tno nllottcd task. Finally
ho Is given tho "way ticket," so that
ho has no oxcuso for begging. Very
soon tho poor houso, masters begin
to look askanco at tho man who per
sistently presents tho ticket, nnd his
Journey from vlllngo to village In tho
counties where tho system prevails
Is not mado any too smooth. Tho
tramp finally seoks a county where
this mothod does not prevail. Tho
systom only becomes successful ') H
