when he came across an old cottager
busily engaged in putting ,thatch roof
on his cottage. He asked the man why
he did not put on tiled roof and was
told it was too expensive.
How much?" he curtly asked.
Fifty pounds" the man replied, and
to his intense amazement and JOY, Mr..
Carnegie there and then wrote him out
a check for that amount. Going in
doors he told his wife the news.
"Mon," she said scornfully, why
dinna ye say rs pounds? Go and tell
him ye made a mistake"
The cottager journeyed up to the
castle and was shown into Mr.. Carne-
gies study. He explained that he had
been wrong about the cost, saying it
would be 25 pounds more. The million
aire philanthropist asked for the check
back, cody tore it to pieces, and the
dismayed and disconsolate cottager
was promptly shown the door.

Amusing Mistakes.

Visitors at an English country house
are allowed to do whatever they like
during the forenoon. An eminent geol-
ogist, who was entertained at one Of
these houses, asked for coffee early one
morning, and started out with suit OF
old clothes and bag Of tools to make
a special study Of the rock lodges OF
the estate.
During the forenoon one Of the coun-
try gentry came upon him by the road
side, and supposing him to be work.
man entered into conversation with
him. The geologist was seated on a
! ledge Of rock and was making vigor-
Gus use Of mallet and chisel.
The stranger talked with him In a
patronizing way, and while not receiv--
ing an intellible account Of the work on
which he was engaged, was impressed
with the supposed workman's intelli-
gence and good manners. Indeed, he
| fumbled in his pocket and brought out
half crown, which he tossed to the
man with the mallet. The geologist
seemed surprised, but picked 1t up and
put it in his pocket after thanking the
gentleman.
There was a dinner party at the
country house in the evening, and the
same gentleman was introduced to the
eminent geologist who at once began
to laugh.
"I have the half CROWN" he said at
once, land I shall not give 1t up. 1t Is
the first tip ever received, and shall
show it to my friends as trophy or
superior intelligence"
Lord James once had similar eX-
perience. He was strolling through the
Temple Gardens in London when a
party Of tourists encountered him, and
asked to be directed to some OF the
most interesting places.
He volunteered to show them about,
and took them first to the Temple
church and Goldsmith's grave, and A.
nally to the famous Elizabethan hall
Of the Middle Temple. His explana-
tions were lucid and interesting, and
when he parted from his new ac-
quaintances one of them gave him
shilling, end remarked that few guides
were equally intelligent. The. noble,
man took the shilling demurely, and
thanked the stranger. He is said to
have kept it to this day, and to have
frequently told the story Of his expert
ence with the innocent tourists In the
Temple Gardens.
Another story is related Of an Eng
lish duke who was standing at the door
of his house when carriage rolled up.
A near-sighted gentleman alighted.
asked If it were the dukes residence,
and on receiving a respectful nod from
the supposed servant, gave him shlil-
ing.
The duke, perceiving that he mad
been mistaken for footman, Kept the
shilling, raised his hand to his forehead
and made the usual salute. The near
sighted gentleman went into the house,
and in due time was presented to the
duke, and never had suspicion that
he had tipped one Of the highest mem
bers of the British aristocracy at MS
own door.
The duke could hardly have offered
a more striking proof that he was
gentleman by instinct as well as by
birth than by pocketing the uninten-
tional affront to his dignity.

tor Harris overhears the conversation,
but gives no sign when he joins Cor
don and Barton. Harris offers Gordon
$500 a month to edit a slum reform
page. Barton's cough grows worse.
Gordon refuses Harris offer because
he thinks Harris wants the page Tor
sensational, not reform, purposes. Cor
don finds that his father and Luella's
own the worst tenements in the slums
Gordon asks his father to destroy his
illegal, insanitary tenements, but IS
repulsed. Luella's father, who owns
the worst dumb-bell tenement, visits 1t
in company with Gordon. They also

near by. The indecency shocks Mr.
Marsh. He promises to do something
about the dumbbell tenement. Bar

George Eftingham calls and Gordon
learns that Barton has been sending
consumptives to Colorado at his own
expense. Miss Andrews tells Gordon
that Tommy Randall, political boss,
alocks all tenement house reform. Cor

Louie Caylor, victim of the barbar-
Gus tenement system. Gordon and

the funeral arrangements, and Gordon
defeats the boss. Gordon arranges

GUAM RISES OUT OF THE
SEA BY EARTHQUAKE FORCE

building constructed of stone was
thrown down, and the loss in money,
trade and property was great. 1t was
a terrible blow to the island, for there
was no appropriation available in the
United States from which funds could
be drawn to repair the damage.
Some time after the earthquake the
boatmen who cruised between the ves-
sells lying in the harbor of San Luis
D'Apra and the shore noticed that some
of the channels traversed were shall
lower than usual. especially over certain
reefs. The boatmen called the attention
of the governor and other Naval officers
to this fact, and some of the larger
boats were compelled to make a detour
in order to avoid dangerous shadows
where the depth of the water had di-
rninished from five to six inches
Finally the officers came to the con-
cIusion that if the reef in the harbor
had risen half foot, the rest of the
sIand had likewise risen.

With Complete Organization Work in Lower

priation or provision and by it's ac-
complishment must the legislature be
judged very largely. On the other hand
the Accounts committee will have the

servance began with a praise service
led by the pastor of the church, dur

cellent numbers. At the conclusion of
this the pastor, in a few words, intro
duced Hon. Morris NJ. Estee as the
speaker of the evening.
Judge Estee entered a modest dis
introduction. and then said, in part:
I'VE are here tonight to pay tribute to
the memory of the most illustrious

Perhaps no one fact in relation to
Washington strikes the American peo-
pie with greater wonder today than
that during the revolution, he was the
most abused man on the continent, and
for no other reason than because he
was the most conspicuous character
of the time 1t may be that like that
other great American, Lincoln, he was
abused because he was just, and be-
cause he was greater and better than
other men.
when Washington was inaugurated
the first President of the United States,
and after he had delivered his inaugu-
raj address, he went with both houses
of the Congress to st. Paul's church,
in New York, and there invoked the
of the Supreme Ruler of the
Universe upon the new government. A
government thus established cannot
fail My friends, the name of Wash
ington cannot be severed from the
American republic. The two are so
that to speak of the one,
we think of the other. If America had
no other eminent citizen, the name of
Washington would make the country
great.
