Secretary Wilson's Joke.

Some loWanS in the room of the House
committee on Interstate commerce are
telling a joke that Secretary of Agricul-
ture James Wilson played on Senator
Gear when each was serving his country
as member of the House from Iowa.
Mr.. Wilson was known as the granger
congressman, and visitors to the gallery
often had curiosity to see the farm
er statesman. One day Mr.. Wilson was
sitting in the gallery with party OF
friends who were visiting him. and he
was pointing out to them many of his
colleagues, relates the Washington Post
a young lady who CHANGED to sit near
and seemed to be from the vicinity Of
Boston, observing that Mr.. Wilson was
familiar with the names of members on
the floor, asked him TO kindly point out
the granger congressman" from Iowa
that she had heard so much about
with pleasure" said Mr.. Wilson.
Now look right over this way. DO YOU
see that man reading a ncwspapcr?"
That man with the whiskcrs?" in
quired the young lady.
Yes responded the future secretary
OF agriculture THAT is the man
We'll, / declare" she continued. II
imagine he does look a good deal like n
farmer. although | never saw very many
of them"
When Senator Gear was appriSed of
the Joke he enjoyed it fully as well as did
Mr.. Wilson.

How TO Become a Millionaire.
Begin young.

>. Immediately over the head of
your bed paste the adage, Take care
of the pence and the pounds will take
care of themselves and as soon as you
succeed in accommodating 20 shillinss
Quarters will do as Weld, scratch off
the last half of it.
3. Never post a letter that you can
get somebody else to deliver.
4. Never deliver letter that you can
get somebody else to post.
5. Think twice before you spend a
cent.
6. Think all night before you spend
a dollar.
I. IT, by morning, you can see no
way out of the difficulty, stay in it.
s. Never refuse anything that's Of
fered to You. and never offer anything
that you aren't sure will be refused.
8. Cultivate your hearing. When
you are stone deaf to any. request for
a loan you may consider that you have
reached perfection.
10. Remember that gouging the rich
and grinding the poor are the shortest
of all cuts to riches. And bear in mind
that while the former can only be en-
safely be practiced as an everyday
occupation.
II. Go to church regularly, and keep
out of the penitentiary.
II. Never steal what you can get
honestly, and never get honestly what
you can get more quickly by stealing.
13. Avoid pity, faith, fun and friends
as you would an Indifferent mortgage
or low rate of interest.
IA. Lastly, always remember that
when you die, you may safely trust to
your chidren's spending your million
much too quickly to give the devil any
chance of getting hold of it to melt and
pour down your throat. Later on, you
may find more comfort in this than you
now imagine. So will your children.

up for il in other ways. You'll see
