Little Margaret Is Mr.. carnesie'a

Little Is Nr. CaraeEie's
Choicest treasure.
'She is the only one OF my treasures

Cainegla says OF his ten-year-s,d
daughter Margaret. who returned with
him from abroad. says the New York
Journal.
Although the multimillionaire be-
lieves that "a man who dies rich dies
disgraced.' his associates in business
estimate the fortune that will fall to
the lot of his only child at 500, OCO,-
0 But that may seem a tribe to n
man accustomed to making S1.0O0.O0O
gifts as pin money to deserving insti-
tutions and $25. 1000 to $50. 600, 900 to
other projects that need money.
Mrs. Carnegie and little Margaret are
the only objects in Mr.. Carnegie's life
that he holds dearer than his libraries.
Margaret is named after Mr.. Car
negie's mother. She is not q robust
child. but she inherits her mothers
gentle disposition and is a bright. ac.
tive child.
Her doting father is just finishing for
her Il magnificent castle in Westches-
ter county. a turrcted replica of a fa.
nous Scottish stronghold. which is to
be fitted as sumptuously as n castle for

WI Ting Fang, minister from China
to the United States, witnessed his first
football game ut Detroit, says a dis

between the elevens Of the University

Michigan had scored two touchdowns,
and things looked bad for poor Lo. AS
Minister WI entered q box in the grand
stand the attendants were trying to re-
vive two red men whose heads had
come into violent collision with Wolver-
enc anatomy.
"Are they dead yet" queried Mr..
Wu, with polite solicitude as he sur
veyed the spectacle.
"Oh, no. said one Of the party's stu
dent guides. Look, they are getting
up"
Marvellous tenacity Of life," COM
mented the distinguished visitor. GLOW
many sudden deaths would It take to
postpone the. gamer"
Mr.. WI progressed finely in the tech
nique of football. He asked some ques-
lions for q time that were posers to his
guides.
"1t is a beautiful thought" said Mr..
WI sententiously after watching the
game for q time, Ito think that the IA

My dear Sirs: BY express on yes
terday received the beautiful gold
medal you sent as token of friend
ship and appreciation of my ser
vices as Attorney. General.
1t is the most beautiful one ever
saw, and fills my soul with a happi-
ness and gratitude that the English
language is too poor to express.
With every emotion of my soul, and
every pulsation of my heart, /
thank you. 1t will be kept and
worn with more pleasure and pride
than all souvenirs ever gathered
from the store house of labor and
love.
II will be appreciated the more
because it represents one of my
greatest efforts in defense of honor,
virtue, manhood, home, God and
woman, to him who asks no greater
reward than that of duty well done.
This beautiful tribute by ObioD
County's good people (who are so
competent to iudge) is a hearts
ease and a comforter, that is valued
not for the fine gold of which it is
made, but for the beautiful senti-
ment with which it is engraved.
Again thanking you and all the
people of Obion. May the God that
directs the sparrow 10 the worm
watch over and protect the homes
of your good county, so that no
other soulless wretch may steal i'm

and beautiful daughters. May the
gateway OF peace, plenty, prosper

all. is the prayer of him who loves
your noble manhood, and your pure
and lovely women.
Devotedly Yours,
