way stock when you are let in early
enough" The other simply said:
Tackle the senate" A policeman
whom met at busy street corner, in
the midst Of whose hustle and roar he
seemed to be preserving an attitude OF
reflection, had his mind entirely made
up. Il would buy big hotel and have
the finest barroom in the city-a bar
room that would knock the Hoffman
house cold. Well, there would be moth
ing like it in the country"
The driver Of street car looked at
me with some perplexity when my
question was propounded. At first he
evidently doubted my sincerity or my
sanity could not tell which. But be-
| ing assured by the lucid reiteration OF
the inquiry, and by glance at my per-
sonal appearance, he said with direct

with the fellows who have the most
| Doodle. Now, if I had million. I
would engage some of the smartest
lawyers we have here and I'd down the
capitalists. I'd see whether there is
any show for workingmen when they
have tall takers to plead their case.

little dynamo to provide electric light,
steam launch on lake near by-then

The first editor asked said1 "rd go
to the South sea by all means Nobody
really lives who doesn't breathe the air
of the South Pacific. On one of these
islands-and a man can buy good deal
of landscape there for thousand dol
lars-you enjoy every minute Of your
life. The soil is kindly, it rains accom-
modatingly while you are asleep, and
the air is an intoxication. With mil
lion could be king there, and be
happier than most kings" The ether
editor said: "Smash all the clocks.
Most of tho Ills of life result from
clocks My idea of bliss would be to
be independent Of time pieces. TO not
care what time 1t was, to be superior to
the obligations to do omething because
it was certain time OF day-or night
either. Yes, sir; this is clock-driven
world and In my clysium there will be
no clocks"
A young man fresh from college, with
Phi. D., didn't want to found uni-
vcrsity or write lexicon. 81 would go
to the theater every night" he said.
It was bright thoroughly American
boy who advanced the brilliant idea of
buying baseball genius with his COM
polling million. II would organize .

land challenge the world. l would
sweep the country and break up the
Of the league" The very
American boy soon figured out the
whole thing. He had the name of every
prominent player in the country at his
