PITIES THE SONS.

-Samuel W. Allerton’s Sorrow All for Wealthy Boys—Makes Servants Save. Pasadena, Cal., May 31.—“ My bpys, are to inherit wealth, but titty will be sadder for it. They are missing the real blood training of self-making.” Samuel W. Allerton of Chicago and Pasadena, a packer, economist, .champion of woman suffrage, is sorry that his sons are not to have the hard knocks in climbing to fortune which he suffered. Talking on the benefit of battling with the world, he said: “The boy who is up against making his own way is by far the most self-reliant. The scions of the wealthy are satisfied, for the most part, to be nonentities. “If every man and woman in the world* does his and her duty every child will be taught to save. They will thus be taught to build character and credit. If the wealthy do their duty by their servants they will give them every opportunity to save. My wife and I have taught our servants to save. They all have from $2,000 to $5,000 invested in stockyards stock, which pays 6 per cent.”
