csnesie Pay. an old Debt.

Who you'd not be a creditor of Mr..
Andrew Carnegie?
An American firm doing business in
London recently asked its patrons TO
suggest ideas for the distribution Of
Mr.. Cainegie's wealth.
Mr. Henry d. Lenno- Of Glasgow adj
vised dat the millionaire repay Il loan
of IL saillings made by his aunt to aid
the CInegies to emigrate from Dun

that atcompound interest 70 was due
Mr. Carnegie has investigated the
matter and found that Mr.. Lennox was
quite right in his claim The debt will
not only be paid. but the children of
Mrs. Lennox Will be endowed with a
sum sufficient TO keep them in comfort
as long as they live. Mr. Lennox said
in his letter:
When the Carnegies left Dunferm-
line, they were SO poor that the mother
had to borrow money to take them TO
the United States.
My aunt, though poor woman her
self, helped them out TO the extent of
IL shiliings, but the promise to return
the loan evidently escaped the memory
of the beneficiaries, because they never
repaid the sum borrowed.
My aunt Is dead. but she left two
daughters, one of whom is the wife of
a humble Joiner in Dunfermline. while
the other is maiden lady engaged in
a small drapery business in Edinburgh.
Don't you think that if Mr.. Carne-
gle knew this he would be willing to
do handsomely by his mothers

Mr.. Carnegie called in person on the
children Of his benefactor and thank
ed them for the generosity of their
mother.

tie will nevertheless be bitterly waged.
No less exalted a position than the
presidency of the august body is at
stake, and it is a prize worth striving
for.
The membership of the Daughters
has increased wonderfully since the in
ception of the organization on Oct. II,
1890. Its present membership is about
$4,000. Each division of the society is
called chapter" and the head of
each chapter is known as the ''regent."
There are more than 500 chapters in
the United States and chapter regents
have been appointed for England and
Canada. The presiding officer of the
national society is the president gener-
al, and there are in addition a number
of executive officers and 20 vice presi-
dents general.

by at least one member of the national

The praiSeworthy aim of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution is to
perpetuate the name and memory of
the men who fought to establish Amer
ican independence, to acquire and pro-
tect historical spots and erect monu-
mentS thereon, to encourage historical
research and preserve the memorials of
the Revolutionary era. The Daughters
of the American Revolution is an ener-
getic society and has in its ranks some
of the most prominent American wom-
en-, who are proud of their membership.
The present contest in the Daughters
of the American Revolution is caused by
the question of the advisability of cen
tralizing more strongly the organization
or of leaving to the individual chapters
great freedom of action. Naturally,
the two policies have brought into the
field candidates favoring either side.
The present incumbent of the presi-
dency, Mrs. Daniel A. Manning of New
York, the widow of the former secre-
tary of the treasury, is in favor of
centralized organization. Mrs. Man
ming has already served two consecu-
tive terms as president and cannot be
reelected unless another term inter-
vene, according to the constitution of
the order. The candidate who is re-
ceiving her support is Mrs. Washing:

They took the cards and studied them.
The tarot game, which is better known in

Now cut them. The top card is not an
