600 This event gives Monty, as his frienos
call him, a very pleasant feeling, Whlch, now
ever turns into another emotion upon the re-
ceipt of a second unexpected piece OF news
An enormously wealthy uncle has died in Mon
tana and left him SI,000O00. But only on one
condition is Monty" to get this fabulous sum
on his twenty-sixth birthday he must be able
to prove that he owns absolutely nothing in
the world but the clothes his back The
unc1e's motive for this clause was violent dis
like for "Monty's" father, the uncle being de-
termined never to give penny to any one liV-
ing money coming from that side of the
house So now Monty has aim in life
thrust upon him-the getting rid Of S1,00OOOo
within about year. This is not so easy as 1t
seems, because he is forbidden to lend or give
away anything, to gamble extravagantly, to
endow charities excessively; and there are few
minor restrictions. The story. therefore, con-
Germs itself with the young mans disposal of his

anxious time of it. A mild stock specua ton
turns out badly, since for a moment the IN
genious youth loses his presence OF nina ana

enough to lose $4,000 in bank failure His
best stroke of business next to trip to

executor of his uncle's will carefully follows his
movements, occasionally sending threatening
kilograms when ''Monty's" lavish hospitalitiss
attract the attention of the newspapers. Ot
course such a book has nothing whatever to
recommend it from the moral standpoint. Nor
is it by any means a fine literary work OF art.
But taking it simply as a story for reading in a
hammock on a warm, lazy summer afternoon. IT
is certainly amusing enough.
The author of ''Red-Headed Gill; has fairly
interesting story to tell. The scene is laid in
Cornwall. with characters partly bucolc and
partly fashionable. A very striking figure is the
beautiful but stubborn Gillian, or, more proper
ly Barbara, Trehanna, who is endowed with
the curious faculty of mentally living over again
the part of a noted ancestress. And, seeing that
Barbara has some physical resemblance to said
ancestress. one almost believes at moments that
here is a mysterious case of reincarnation. 1t

Suppose. instead of the common

the people OF the Philippines a message
like this:
'' i pledge all my energy ability and
power as president of the United States
to the task OF enabling the people of
the Philippines to enjoy the blessings
OF liberty and to secore a government
based upon the principles OF liberty
and equality embodied in the .DecIars-
tion of Independence and the constitu
tion of the United States +"
THAT would have been q memorable
message and 1t would have made the
Fourth OF July as blessed and
memorable to the Fil,pinos ns it is
to Americans. II would have enhanc.
ed the blessings Of the day to Ameri.
cans because it would haYs been q
notable step toward the proclamation
OF liberty throughout all possessions of
the United States.
"A message like that would have
done more than merely 60 around the
world; 1t would have thrilled the world
with the spectacle of great man
at the head OF a great nation pl acing
the cause Of human liberty above all
other considerations: 1t would have
cheered the lovers of liberty in all lands
and struck q deadly blow at imperial
ism. Mr.. Roosevelt could we'll have
given up all that the presidency offers
for the privilege Of sending such q
message to people in bon dage.
