MIR. CHILDs' CAREER.



Ever Predominated.
George w. Childs, the dying Philadel-
phia millionaire publisher, gave his
money away in the most practical and
the most impractical fashion. He pen
stoned all who wore out in his service,
which was very practical He would
subscribe to put a stained glass window
i'm a church in memory Of poet who has
been dead two centuries, though an ocean
rolled between that church and Mr..
Childs' business office This was very
impractical The truth is that Mr..
Childs charities were 80 numerous and
embraced so wide a range that they
touched the eXtremities.
George William Childs was born in
Baltimore in 1929. The practical part of
his makeup was born with him. When
he was - years of age he spent a sum
mer vacation as errand boy in a book
store at a salary of two dollars week and
enjoyed it, Almost anything might be
expected Of boy of - who enjoyed
running errauds, and Mr.. Childs has Lot

pavement and put things in order befor,

either Secretary Gresham or Secretary
Herbert of the report that two American

proposals to the treasury department to
take the per cent. bonds to be issued by
Secretary Carlisle bearing date of Feb. /.
Offers to take the bonds have been com

New CASTLE, Pa, Jan. 29.--Eugene

rious looking box that came down with
the drift. Hauling it ashore and opening
it he found the dead body of a baby girl
The little one was nicely dressed, and its
perfect preservation showed that it had
been dead only a short time. Subsequent
examination showed that the child was
