Tn Odd Use for the Pin.

An odd use that the pin was put to
long ago was that of checking the in
temperate habits of the English. st.
Dunstan conceived the idea of dividing
the tankards out Of which the liquor
was drunk into eight equal parts, each
part marked with a silver pin. The
cups were generous affairs, holding
two quarts. Consequently the quantity
from pin to pin was half pint, and
the regulation was that the drinker
"stop at a pin"
Roisters, however, prevented the
purpose of good st. Dunstan and estab-
lished the rule of "good fellowship"
by which the drinker was to stop only
at pin. If he drank beyond, he had
to 60 on to the next mark. As it was
difficult to stop exactly at a pin the
vain efforts always excited much
mirth, and the trial usually ended with
the draining Of the tankard.-Ex.

From the japanese.

AS IN little room, from day to day,
Like children, glad of heart, we laugh and play,
Few are the words our lips have learned to speak
Vet they suffice as long as we shall stay.
The short years come and go, frail, sliding
screens;
Fusama, touch'd with f1awless blues and greens;
On every one some hieroglyph is drawn:
But none can truly tell US what it means.
And as they move before mems wistful eyes.
Now aecked with simmer of unclouded skies,
Now softly Powered with the blooms of May.
Now Yslden'd like the leaves when autumn dies.
We babble into song, and spread our toys,
That bear the simple name of human joys;
While over US the unfathomable blue
wezyes the dense veil no mortals hand destroys

CHE I11orroW'S message.

"Thou ghost" said, 'and is thy name To-Day
Yesterdays son. with such an abject brow!-
And can Tomorrow be more pale than thou?"
While yet spoke. the silence answered: ''Yea,
Henceforth our issue is all grieved and grey,
And each beforehand makes such poor avow
As of old leaves beneath the budding bough
Or night-drift that the sundawn shreds away"
Then cried 1: "Mother of many malisons,
o Earth receive me to thy dusty bed!"
But therewithal the tremulous silence said:
"Lo! Love yet bids thy lady greet thee once:-
Yea, twice,-whereby thy life is still the suns;
And ce,-whereby the shadow of death is
dead.''

Spending One Million
Dollars.

"HE editor of we'll know wom-
ems journal, anxious to OBJ
tain the opinion of number
of representative women as to
the best uses great wealth might be
put, asked them the question: "What
would you do with S1,OOO,OO0" The
answers were characteristic, and in the
main unselfsh. They ranged from
bansuets and carriage rides for the
middle classes whom nobody asks to
dinner" to the erection of drinking
fountains for thirsty dogs. The most
original suggestion came from Clara
Morris, who would tackle the servant
girl problem and elevate dish washing
to the dignity of an art. Mrs. Balling-
toD Booths reply showed careful prep
aTation. Her plans are definite and are
fully explained. They are along the
lines she is already working upon with
ont the million. She would use that
amount of money to extend her work
for prisoners and ex-prisoners and in
Du4ding model lodging houses. Most
of the other replies were along conven-
aional lines and covered nearly all
branches of charitable work. The con-
census of opinion was that great
wealth can be best used in making
others happy and relieving distress.
.AIl who are without the million will
agree that this is the best disposition
TO make of wealth. 1t is doubtful If
there is a person living who, when
buisding ''castles in Spain" does not in
elnde some unselfsh thoughts in his
plans.
But whether person can really make
others happy by giving away a million
dollars is another question.
To my mind this question was solved
by an acquaintance some years ago
He made the best possible use of a
million dollars by making another mil
lion, and this is the way he did it:
In the first place, he had only about
$4,000 instead of million.
Bob came west from Indiana to look
over large tract of arid land which
had come to his father many years be-
fore. The land was waste and seemed
to be entirely useless, but Bob was &C
anisitive and resourceful and he die
Dot intend to carry a non-productive
property any longer. The tract was sc
sltnated that it could be irrigated witt
lit lie expense, but even then he might
have difficulty in finding immediate
purchasers, as land was then more
plentiful than it is today. His plans
perfected, he skirmished around fo
buyers, but found them not. Knowing
shat little hard work was all that wa
necessary to make the land produc
tive, he hit upon the plan of givin!
something for nothing and advertised
to give the land away in fifty-acr
tracts to those who would work tract
on shares for a certain number o
years. His advertisements, which wer
sedactively worded in Bob's best style
brOaght many replies, and his agent
sooked up the applicants. If they ha'
zny money to pay down, and Bo
could talk them out of it, he woul
take it; and if they hadn't a cent bu
looked strong and capable, they wer
assigned to tracts. Bob paying all ez

Reflections of Mr..
Sorehead Cynicus

OREHEAD, old boy, fear you
are up against it. Your con-
X dition was at first Indifferent;
then it was bad; now it is worse;
and judging the future by the past,
there is only one conclusion to be
reached: the worst is yet to come. But
sufficient to the day is the evil thereof
and trifle more than sufficient, in
your case at least. Yet it seems you
are not satisfied with the evils that
come to you of their own free will; but
driven by your evil genius you 60
about hunting evils, and when you find
them you assimilate them, or are assim-
ilated by them; and in neither case is
the process of assimilation benevo-
lent one. You were in a bad enough
tx when you were poor; you certainly
could not complain of being without
trouble when you became rich; and
when you changed your comfortable
flannel shirt and light cap for starched
shirt with high collar, and a skyscraper
headpiece that weighs ton, it would
seem that even an old hog like you
should have been satisfied with his &C.
cumulated troubles and evils.
But not you. Oh no. Not by Jug
full. You had to break into society.
And society, coy, but yielding, left the
door ajar, to make your forcible en-
trance into its sacred portals as easy as
certain amount of Difference to all
ruling conventionality and superb
cial consistency of behavior to time
hallowed precedents would permit
That's the way society always behaves
towards man whose coming is pre-
t'ceded by golden sheen. Society wor-
ships gold. Especially when it assumes
the shape of calf, or an ass. Society
feeds on the golden calf, and society
drives the golden ass. Sometimes
an anomalous animal, half calf, half
ass, butts and kicks its way into
society, and you, Mr.. Sorehead Cynicus,
are one of those anomalous animals.
You had hardly gone through the
initiatory stage of social humbug-
gerry when society tapped and drained
your golden veins, and before you re-
covered from the exhaustion that fol-
lowed the loss of blood-gold, rather
diminutive she-atom of society had
you hitched to her car, and drove you
to the nearest church, and taking ad-
vantage of your weakened condition,
hypnotized you, and made you promise
before witnesses that you would always
love, honor, obey and support her. I
think that's the promise she exacted
from you, tho 1 am not quite certain
You may have promised more than that;
if so, she will no doubt put you in
mind Of it.
And there is no escape for you. II
it takes $5OO,OO0 year to support heI
you will have to cough up, that's all
If you don't she'l1 sue for a divorce
and the court will grant her decree
and million dollars alimony year
If you fail to obey her she will &C
, cuse you of brutal and inhuman treat
, ment, and, divorce and alimony will
: follow as sure as day follows night. But
: you need not love or honor her. There

 Douglas, March 23-Considerable petty thieving has been going on in Douglas for the past few days, and if some of the purloining gentry are not more careful, Date Graham and his force wil have rounded them up for sitting with Judge Johnson A gar den hose was stolen from Jim Shea's house. coupled by Miss Mary Haskett, at F and Sixteenth.

 Douglas. March 23.-Dvision S2 of the Brotherhood of Railway Employes was instituted Thursday, March 18th, by T. J. Cookney, of Tucson. The first regular meeting was held Saturday night in A. O. U. VI. hal. with a mem bership of nearly fifty. The avidity win which railroad men fiocked the call or Organizer Cookney is substan- tial proof of the popularity of the new order.
 The B. of R. E., while absolutely new to this section, covers not only the United States, but Canada as well. and has total membership of S7,000. The object for which this brotherhood was first organized was, and still is, dis tinctLy protective. In comparison with other railway unions or brotherhoOds, the Railway Employees is more com prehenSive in its scope, embracing un- der it's head any and all members of other lodges wishing to enjoy the pro tection of a combina ion order. George Estes, of division 10, San Francisco, is president and supreme head of the B. of R. E. MT. Estes is well and widely known as a speaker of marked ability and an instructive visit to the local lodge by him is already being planned by Mir. Cooiqney.
 Mir. Cookney was here but a few days. and his hust ing qualities. to- gether with a most convincing person ality. alone are responsible for the pro- life results. Mir Cookney is a wide awake men. whose sincerity won him a host of friends while in Douglas.
