> 7 ~~ 7 */ L c 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. FICTION OF CONSOMME. “Well, well! Here’s a stirring book.” “Tell me about it.” “It contains 110 recipes for mak ing soup.”—Baltimore Sun. SACRIFICING HERSELF. “You mustn’t dance so many dances, child. You’ll exhaust your self.” “But this is a charity ball, auntie. This is for the poor.” IDENTIFIED.

THE BUSY BOY. “Doesn’t that office boy’s incessant |gum chewing get on your nerves ?” “No; when he’s chewing gum he Can’t whistle.” 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 pointed to succeed John Bassett Moore as counselor to the state de partment, has, like his predecessor, from his entrance into the law spe cialized in international matters and has represented the United States as counsel before a number of arbitral tribunals and claims commissions.
