WHAT TO DO WITH A MILLION
Given That Amount in Dollars, Gne
Man Has Very Definite idea as
to His Course.
The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters
entitled “What I Would Do With a
Million Dollars.” The three prize
winning letters have been published.
An extract from one follows:
“Yes, if I had $1,000,000 I
wouldn’t try to turn it into a bil
lion. And I wouldn’t go around
building libraries and churches,
though nobody thinks more highly
of those philanthropies than I do.
But I’d seek out old couples who
have worked hard all their lives, and
I’d see that their last years made up
for all the hardships of the years
gone by—so that they could take
leave of life with a song on their lips
instead of a moan. Then I’d search
out deserring young couples, who
with their little families are trying
to make a start. I’d give them just
enough of a lift to keep away that
disheartenment which is most de
spairing when it comes at a time
when youth should still be dream
ing—just enough of a life to keep
some of the sweetness of life in their
hearts, so they wouldn’t grow old and
cross and crabby, with their dreams
all dead.”
PAYS TO SCRATCH THE PIG
There’s Pork in Pleasing His Hogship,
Says One Who Knows, and
Pork Means Money.
Old Twilight shunted a pail of
swill into the trough, and reflectively
scratched the pig’s back. Old Twi
light is not the only one in the world
who learned that there is pork in
scratching.
Little do you think, when you sit
down to your breakfast bacon that
good men scratched for it. We moss
backs scratch for a living all the
1 ime, and we are proud of it. There
is pork in it, and pork is money, and
money is gasoline, and gasoline is
power, and power is a chattel mort
gage, and a chattel mortgage is like
the grace of God—it is with us al
ways. Amen!
As soon as I get through writing
this, I am going out* to the pen to
scratch a pig. It helps to make him
fat. You have got to please a pig,
same as a woman, or she —the pig, I
mean—won’t reflect credit on you.
A pig with a grouch is a dead loss.
You might fust as well pour your
swill into a raCkiole. But please your
pig; take half an hour off every day
and go out and scratch your pig.—
“The Klan,” in the Toronto Star.

MOTORING JACKDAW.
Scotland has its motoring jackdaw.
A wagonette plies between Blair
gowrie and Kirkmichael, and when
it reached the lat ter village the other
week a jackdaw hopped down to the
pavement.
It appears that the bird, which is
tame, mounts on the gear-box of the
car at Blairgowrie every day, travels
to Kirkmichael, and returns in the
same manner, apparently enjoying
its motor spin.

PUT AWAY A FULL MEAL
i
Railroader’s Efforts to Get Away From
Periodical “Touch” Was a De
cided Failure.
An employe of an eastern railroad
had been having periodic visits from
a ne’er-do-well, who always wished
“just a dime to get something to
: eat.” The story grew old to the
■ railroad man, especially since the
reason for the “touch” was not
strengthened by whiffs of the man’s
breath.
The railroad man resolved to call
the bluff, so when he got another
request, he said: “You go over to
Mrs. Blank’s restaurant and get
something to eat if you’re hungry,
and tell her to charge it to me.”
The donor figured that since the
man could not get a drink with
credit on the restaurant he would
not get anything to eat.
Later in the day the railroad man
went to the restaurant to get some
thing to eat. “Here’s another bill
for 40 cents against you that the
man ate you sent over here this
morning.”
Now the railroad man has re
solved never to send anyone to the
restaurant, but to hand over a dime,
if need be, and save 30 cents by so
doing.
IRELAND RICH IN MINERALS
Country’s Wealth Has Never Been Ex
ploited to Anything Like the
Extent It Should Be.
The mining wealth of Ireland is
larger and more varied than is gen
erally known. It includes, an Irish
correspondent informs the London
Daily Sketch, copper ore which is
60 per cent pure copper, pure man
ganese, galena which smelts 86 per
cent pure lead and 15 ounces of sil
ver to the ton, and one mine which
assays 120 ounces of silver. “We
have,” says the correspondent, “iron
in any quantity, with coal on the
ground to smelt it, asbestos, oil shale,
gold, molybdenum (which is worth
£7OO per ton), and I think you can
find radium. One copper mine here
paid in years gone by as much as
£47,000 profit in one year. As for
iron, this country has exported mil
lions of tons in the past; in fact, Sir
Walter Raleigh worked an iron mine
here, but they all stopped through
agitation and mismanagement. There
is enough oil in this country to keep
the British navy going for the next
five hundred years. Its principal
sources would be cannel coal, oil
shales, bituminous coal, lignite and
peat. Why go abroad ?”
SPECIALIST IN LAW.
Robert Lansing, who has been ap

Moore as counselor to the state de

from his entrance into the law spe

has represented the United States as
counsel before a number of arbitral
tribunals and claims commissions.
He is now in Washington appearing
before the American-British claims
arbitration tribunal as agent for the
United States, a post to which he was
appointed by ex-Secretary of State
Knox during the Taft administra
tion.
