sorrows Of the MiIlionatre.

Look at the ways of the millionaire.
Given his million, he gives up his house
and builds himself small, first class
hotel i'll some big city, which for the
greater part of the year is occupied by
servants. He next erects a country
palace at Lenox or at Newport. This
he calls cottage, though it usually
looks more like public library or a
hospital or clubhouse.
Then he builds himself camp, with
stained glass windows, in the Adiron-
dacks and has to float small railroad
in order to get himself and his wife's
trunks into camp. Shortly after these
follows a bungalow modelled after a
French chateau, somewhere in the
south, and then yacht warranted to
cross the ocean in ten days and to pro-
duce seasickness II hours sooner than
the regular ocean steamer becomes one
of the necessities of life.
Result, he never lives anywhere. To
occupy all his residences, camps and
bungalows he has to keep eternally on
the move, and when he thinks he needs
a trip to Europe he has his yacht got
ready and sends it over, going himself
on fast steamer. Oh, it's a terrible
thing to be a millionaire and have no.
where to lay ones head, with every
poorer man enyying him, many hating
him and hands raised against him ev-

Settled out of Court.

A barrister riding his bicycle on a
path was caught by policeman. The
gentleman at once came off the path
and tried to reason with the policeman.
"You aren't really going to run me
in for this?" he asked.
"Yes, sir. / can't help it."
"Well, come in here Ga public house
close by, and we will talk about It "
The policeman followed the gentle
man, who ordered two glasses Of beer,
one for himself, the other for the po-
licemah, both of which were finished
before he again remarked:
Surely you are not really going to
make fuss about thisY
II must, sir. It's my business"
"Ah Then at the same time 1t will
be my business to report you for drink
ing beer while on duty"

1t may not be generally known but
the present method of nominating
president and vice president has Enot
always been in vogue. Until the con-
stitutional amendment of 1904 the
president and vice president were
voted for on the same ballot, the man
with the second highest number of
votes becoming vice president. The
presidential electors have not always
been chosen unpopular vote. Before
1900 it was the general custom for the
state legislatures to choose electors,
and it was not until 1928 that presi-
Dental electors were chosen in nearly
iall the states by popular vote. g AS
late as 1870 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors
to represent that state. There is
nothing in the constitution to prevent
any state legislature naming its own
electors, without appeal to the peo
pie, provided such method of cleo
ton is prescribed by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential can
didates were chosen by the members
of congress in caucus In 1924 the
electoral college failed to make a
choice from the candidates so submit
ted, and the matter went to the house
of representatives. -Four years later
Tennesseeis legislature nominated
Andrew Jackson without any reference
to the congressional caucus. His OPP
ponent John Quincy Adams, was
nominated in the old way, but that
was the end of presidential nomina-
tions by congressional caucus.
