that he had another deal.
There are so many objects to Vsnlch
the attention of munifcent charity
might be directed, equally as prRlm-
ate in their relation to the masses as
those affected by our present-day mill
uonaires. When we go in the en5OW-
ment business we will set asid a
fund for a hospital to which sany
worthy person may be admitted: pro-
yiding only he brings with him a solid
gold bedstead, with silk coVerlets: and
real lace eounteFpanes. Or, perhaps,
a fund for a cooking school waere
might be incuIcated the gentle aft OF
preparing diamond-back in the $nost
approved fashion, or there coulS be
worked out the abstruse problefd OF
''HoW a family Of four may live on
$500 a week" Or, a club house might
be established to which admit@nce
would be denied to no man, however
Door, provided only that he we$rs a
monocle and dress suit, and keel his
own yacht and automobile.
Any of these benefactiOns arp as
much within the reach Of the average
youth of the medium cIass-the class
which furnishes the Drawn and Erain
of the World-as are lose for which
the man of millions are giving uH the
dollars, which through the sweat and
blood of labor have been piled at the1r
feet until they scarce know WHAT dis
position to make of them. We very
rich folks like to keep our monE IN
the family, as it were, and so Wkalth
is given only to those institus ions
which the wealthy can attend, an& for
those purposes in which Onlyk the
wealthy can have an interest. What
poor boys can possibly be benefited
by the donations of andrew Carnegie
to universities, to enter whiclK he
would have to possess more educ& &CiOn
than he can ever hope for, and all3Lhat
would be necessary for a successful
business career? Of what benefit to
the struggling youth to whOms one
years instruction in the Ordalary
branches of education would bs an
equipment for life is the $14 900
which some fellow with more dollars
than sence donated the other dag to
Columbia University IOr the purpose
O. the establishment of a chais of
Chinese? BAH these fellows reEaind
us in the practical character of aheir
philanthropy of the writer of ''HSuse-
hold Hints" in some of the tDady
magazines: To exterminate rOaShes,
take a few large diamonds and fbeat
into a find dust; feed these to : the
reaches, mixed with some meal, aad it
win cut their little giZZards out; 10
uLrIiZe scraps of bread: Crumblef two
ounces of stale bread, adding sixteen
eggs, pound of fresh butter AID a
gallon Of milk; season with a few
ounces Of Sauce-any kind will dOSthat
costs enOugh-and dash with a quart
of champagne; then set in cool slaee
to bake. 10 acquire a university sedu-
cation: + -rst carefully select yout pa
rents, taxing care that they are tmil-
liOnaires: go to school for fifteen
years, or employ a private tuto4 for
that period; then if you can staIA an
examination in geometry, Timtom-
etry, plane and fancy surveying, Greek
and geology, Sanscrit and stereotbny,
and are satisfactory as to snotk klty,
you may profit by the unparaH Heled
generosity of the great Andrew Carne-
gle. The feelings of a poor bOyswho
reads the latter recipe are analogu&s to
those of The woman whose life Is &pent
in trying to keep up the family tab on
$4.75 per week, and is suddenly Son-
fronted with one of the above III use
hold hints
Amen, amen, / say unto yOJA he
who 'fn His name" lifts a cosIing
draught to the fevered lips Of pa5 +, or
sets bowl of soup before the hollow
eyes of hunger, will line up on the
great day several sections to the light
of those whose muni1cence goeS to
gild the palace, while pain and tDoV-
erty dwell in the crumbling hut. Does
no small voice ever whisper to hese
men Of millions that it were betttS TO
hush the wall of sorrow than to Sause
the creation of the loftiest STRAIN of
song? There are thousands of AOOOr
boys who could be saved v#ious
careers, become honored and indfOen-
dent citizens, if we rich folks could
only remember that poor folks Exist,
and would use little of the mopty so
lprOdigally spent where it is not needed
to establish school where boys of
the poorer class coulu acquire without
expense a good commercial educstiOn
But alas for the rarity of ChrStian
charity under the sun-the geSuine
brand for there is full plenty o: the
counterfeit sort. The sort that looks
to it that the fat SOW is well greaEed-
the sort that has for it's MOTTO" Them

Humanity's real benefactor is he
who uses his wealth to do thiags' -
He who places the hammer of i4idus-
try in the horny hand of toll, sending
comfort into the cottage of the lDwly.
He who plucks the noisOme weei and
plants the flower of progress. He'whO
drains the reeking swamp or sweeps
away the wilderness and transforms
it into fair garden or beautiful :city.
He whose enterprises give well; COM
Ipensated labor to lie thousands; en-
abling the blessing of educstion,
among others to enJer many homes,
rather than the clouded channel of
charity. One such man is worth to
State and nation-to humanity-4nore
than all the purse-proud plutecrats
who throw their millions at the; feet
of the wealthy and call the act spill
anthopy."
