Declining Two Million Dollars.

The advice OF John ID. Rockefeller to
get all you can and keep all you can"
has fallen op VI least one pair of deaf
ears. II is possible. however, that DR..
William a. Harroun of Denver never
heard of this Standard oil epigram.
According TO reports, he is busy
young man, who is trying q. get ahead
In his profession and earn living for
his wife and family. So he may not
have had time TO pick up the chunks
OF wisdom that fall from the Rockefel-
Ter lips. At any rate he did not heed
them, as the fact that he recently re-
fused legacy of 100000 amply tes-
titles.
1t appears that two brothers in Ire
land made an agreement that the last
to die should leave his estate to the old
est surviving son of the other. This
agreement was carried out by James
A. Harroun, who passed away recently
The legacy. consisting of one of the
largest estates in the Emerald Isle, to-
gether with a comfortable bank ac-
count, was made over TO the Denver
physician, who is the oldest son of the
other brother
DR.. Harroun Immediately gave 1t to
his sister, Mrs. J. NJ. Lewis of Port
land Me. Not dollar did he keep for
himself. The brief interview, in which
he stated the reasons for his action, is
refreshing. 1t would do to frame In a
parallel column with Rockefeller's ad-
vice. The burden of it is not get all
you can" but earn what you get"
Here 1t is:
Why did refuse the estate? Because
did not want 1t. l have made my own
living. Worked hard for every dollar |
earned. Expect to work hard for the dol
lars to come. Some OF these days | may

my own money-the money l earn.
would rather my sister had the money.
She needs II more than / do My wife
and have all the comforts of life. What
more do l want?
One comment of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition on the case is almost as good as
the physicians interview 1t says:
Is It not singularly agreeable to know
that among all the money mad scramblers
In this great Sodom OF Mammon there is
this one Independent. self responsible
Lot?
We think so-don't you?

Endowed Thpaters.

Periodically in the United States and
England has arisen an agitation favor
able to theaters endowed by states or
municipalities after the plan in vogue
rope. The recent establishment in the
City of Mexico of municipal theater
has again served to revive discussion
of the question in the United States
Already certain cities provide funds
for band concerts, public baseball
grounds and other similar provisions
for public amusement, but as yet there
has been no attempt TO endow play
houses, which have been left wholly
in private hands. The only effort at
governmental control has been In the
line of protecting the public from fires,
to insure proper sanitation and to pre-
vent indecent exhibitions. The Amer
lean way has been to let the public do
whatever "endowing" it thought proper
by the box office route. This plan has
seemed to give measurable satisfaction,
nor is there evident any widespread de-
sire to change it. In view of the dis
cussion of the state theater, however,
the following statistics compiled by the
ST. Louis Republic are interesting:
In Europe some states and cities pro-
vide the land for playhouses; some the
land and the MIA yhpuSaS. bn
the playhouse and an annual subsidy;
some provide the land and building, but
require the theater management to pay
the taxes on and maintain the property;
some provide the land and an annuity,
but do not erect the building: some pro-
vide the land and building with an an
nuity, but stipulate that certain kinds of
performances must be given at certain
times.
In St. Petersburg and Moscow there are
six theaters supported by the czar. In
Berlin there are two theaterS, on state
land, which receive liberal annual appro-
prtations from the state In Vienna there
are state owned opera house, which
cost about s2,5O000O, and state owned
theater. which cost about $4,000. Both
houses are maintained by the govern
ment, In Belgium many of the cities
own or maintain theaters, In Paris are
four national theaters which are used
rent free, the taxes being paid from the
box office revenue although each house
gets subsidy from the state There are
certain provisions as to certain kinds of
productions at certain times. The cities
Of Rome and Milan own theaters.
These facts are worthy of especial
attention in view of the effort now be-
ing made to endow theater in New
York

The Maid hammered Koreans.

Bret Harte's characterization OF "the
heather Chinee" as peculiar" notwith-
standing the fact that his smile is
"childlike and bland" would seem to
apply TO the Celestiars cousin in ''the
Land Of the Morning Calm. The Ko-
reaR is baby faced individual, chiefly
noted for his apparent nonresistant
character, his childish curiosity, his
Intimate association with dirt and his
antipathy for work. But 1t appears
that underneath his mild and inoffen-
sive exterior this passive individual
has some very strenuous and aggres-
sive characteristics. These are shown
TO best advantage in his treatment Of
criminals. Here this peaceful disciple
of inactivity chops off head with all
tie sang froid of French revolution
naire and shows an ingenuity for tor
ture that makes Torquemada look
clumsy, Not only does he believe that
the ''sins of the fathers descend to the
third and fourth generation" but also
that they extend contemporaneously to
uncles, aunts, cousins, mothers-in-law
and kinfolk of even more remote de-
gree. Woe to the Korean family that
develops chicken thief in its midst.
The manner In which these sous of
rest punish their offenders is thus de-
scribed by the Washington Post:
For example. when a man has been con-
victed Of treason. they not only chop off
his head at early dawn; they decapitate
also his male relatives to the fifth de-
gree. and then poison his mother, wife
and daughters. female traitor is poi
soned. In the case of a murderer. the
monster is put to death and his wife
poisoned Arson is punished by strangu-
lation or rough on rats, and the wife Is
not separated from her husband either.
Counterfeiting and theft are treated SINH
larly, with the difference that the thief's
property Is confiscated besides. Desecra-
tion of graves seems to be held In as
great horror as treason. for the criminal
and his male relatives are all decapitated
and the ladies Of the family killed In 9TH
err but equally effective ways. Presumably
unclassfied offenders are handled on a
sliding scale of vigor and get all that
is coming to them even under the husky
dspensation we have indicated.
The Post might have added quite as
choice a chapter of horrors on the Ko-
rean torture Of witnesses. The thumb
screw and rack are benevolent in COM
parison to some of these. The break
ing of bones and rending apart Of ten
dons are among the earlier and milder
steps. 1t seems that those who testify
are quite as averse to the truth as the
average male Korean is to labor, and
that the authorities believe the truth
can only be got out of witness by
literally tearing him limb from limb.
Yet it is said that big six foot hulk
Of Korean manhood-pardon the term
used in such connection-wil march
along under the kicks and belaborings
of a japanese boy as docile as Mis-
souri, mule in the hands Of his driver.
Thus it would seem that these pasty
featured Mongols are only brave when
the other fellow is securely bound and
in their power.

While the Bear Is Busy.

The poet who said that "uIisiortunes
rome not slngly" and the equally OBJ
,ervant writer who remarked that lit
never rains but it pours" were uncon-
scious prophets of Russia's situation at
the present juncture. Right on the
heels of the various unpleasant hap
penings down Port Arthur way comes
an apparently innocent suggestion
from England that cannot but have a
tendency TO create a desire in the heart
OF the bear To go off in some seci led
spot and mediate upon the heartless-
ness OF nations. This Is the suave and
diplomatic statement by Lord Lans-
downe to the Russian ambassador that
this would be an opportune time for
the governments of his ma ajesty King
Edward VII. and the autocrat of all the
Russias, Nicholas H., TO get together
and settle their little differences. Nor
was this remark intended to be humor-
Gus, sort of sly attempt at rubbing
~ ihi 40 ~ "NA'' hS a ihdNtel VI luCl
it is anything but humorous to Russia.
The recent treaty between France
and England adroitly removed Russia's
ally from the field of negotiations and
left the way clear for this next step.
OF course Lord Lansdowne made the
suggestion in duly gentle and insin-
uatlng way, sort of holding out of
the olive branch. so to speak. 1t Is safe
TO say that the steel beneath the glove.
or, to be more explicit, the meat AK
behind the olive leaves, was not re-
vealed. Perhaps it was unnecessary.
The Slav Is something of an artist at
certain sorts of diplomacy himself and
Is given credit for being able TO see
through grindstOne, especially If the
hole is large enough. To ask him to
take up job lot of momentous nego-
tiations when his hands are already a
little more than full with Great Brit
aims nimble ally in the far east must
strike him as a sort of bear batting of
q rather exquisite order. Just how this
move would appeal to diplomat it is
impossible to say, but to a layman it
would appear 'sly, sir, devilish sly"

Japanese Public Works.

At present all things japanese are
peculiarly interesting. The marvellous
evolution in the Land of the Rising Sun
has touched all lines of her life, and,
while the world sees only the military
transformation, the industrial develop.
ment has been quite as marked. AS
all the energies of the nation are now
absorbed in the life and death strug.
gle in which the island kingdom Is in
volved, there is necessarily tempo
rary cessation in public works. The
following recent report of L. c. Bel
lows, American consul general at Yoko-
hama, throws much light on the sub
ject:
Money which had been intended for the
extension of government railway lines has
been diverted to other uses, and 1t Is
stated that the government will stop
work on all new lines except those needed
for transporting military supplies. The
Sanyo Railway company had in con-
temptation the doubling of its tracks and
other improvements during this year, but
whether the directors of the company will
proceed with their plans under present
disturbed conditions may well be doubted
The increased cost of labor Is already
noticeable factor in Industrial condi-
tions and the probability of a continued
rise. together with the difficulty of secur-
ing workmen, introduces a speculative
element into contracts for construction
which will render them very undesirable
during the coming season. In this re-
gard foreigners are at a great diSadVan-
tage as compared with natives because
they do not know SO we'll where to look
for laborers, and the traditions of the
country cause workmen to expect higher
wages when employed by n foreigner.
There may be a considerable demand for
certain kinds Of foreign steel and iron
which the Japanese are not yet able to
supply from their own foundries.
The rise in the scale of wages will
prove especially interesting to all stu
dents of economic and social subjects,
for the wage scale is certain barom-
eter Of Industrial conditions. This re-
port In itself furnishes a refutation to
those who contend that Japan's taking
on of western civilization has been
largely superficial and initiative. In
the increased price of labor alone is
found evidence that the chance is fun
damental and has gone to the very
roots of the national life.

The number of lawyers in the Amer.
lean congress is responsible for some
rather amusing slips of the tongue.
When some orator begins what he in
tends for a glowing bit Of rhetoric by
addressing your honor" or Gentle
men Of the jury" the smile on the
faces of his fellow members is apt to
queer the forensic gem before 1t sees
the light. While these slips are usually
confined to new congressman, some of
the veterans are occasionally guilty.
For example, Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon, when objection was recently made
to the immediate consideration of one
of his bills, somewhat mellowed the
dignity of the senate by requesting that
'the case go to the docket without
prejudice"

A veritable tempest In teapot has
been aroused by the announcement
that the Igorrotes who are encamped
at the Philippines exhibit at the
worlds fair prefer dog meat as regu
lar diet. Nor is the objection to this
taste for canine steaks and ragouts
made by the dogs, who certainly are
the ones who have the best right to
howl. The criticism Is from those SEN
sitive people who never ate dogs meat,
at least consciously. If the stories of
the origin Of most of our civilized sau-
sages are not all false, however, who,
except confirmed vegetarian, can say
that he has not devoured his share Of
dog in his day and rather enjoyed 1t
too? However, this is not an apology
for the Igorrotes' depraved yearning
for boiled dog. Only we have them on
our hands, appetite and all, and must
make the best of it. Meanwhile, If
they must eat CANNES. our neighbor
has one that howls by night that we
pray they may devour speedily.

Diagnosis From the Thumb Nails.

II the latest theory from Chicago
proves true, every man may be his own
physician. According TO recent talk
given by Nine. Amalia Marguerite
Forwerg TO the Progressive Health
club of that city. IL appears that almost
any disease, from consumption TO ear.
ache, can be determined by marks on
the thumb nail and in the palms or on
the wrists. For example, In append.
citis the top line of the wrist stands
up plainly ana the thumb nail looks
rich. In such case the lecturer ad.
vises that the afflicted one should not
wait for any further symptoms, but
should have the appendix cut of i'm.
mediatel.. Probably also the offend.
ing thumb Slould be removed although
ON this point the lecturer leaves us In
the dark. In lockjaw, we are informed,
the thumb falls in. There are also
some minor symptoms, such as the In.
ability to manipulate the masticatine
apparatus. but In case this does not
sufficiently indicate the presence of the
malady the falling in of the thumb IL
a sure sign. In rheumatism, we are told,
there are a thin, brittle nail and line
across the hands. Difficulty in walking
and a feeling in the joints that you
have been hit thereon with a sledge
hammer are also indications. Insanity
is shown by a long descending head
line across the palm. This revelation
is boon. Most folks have suspicion
that about every other one of their
acquaintances is insane. and now the
doubt can be settled by the long de
scending head line" The symptom of
consumption, according to Mime. For
werg, is long, narrow nail Dubbed at
the end and ridged slightly. To cure
use nail file. Paralysis is indicated
by nail fiat and fiaring at the top. 1t
is so difficult for one who has a stroke
of paralysis to know what is the mat
ter with him that this disclosure will
be especially welcomed by the afflicted
The madame also informs us that heart
disease is disclosed by the presence of
red spots in the heart line of the palm,
but she rather heartlessly adds that
most people who think they have
heart disease are only suffering from
Indigestion
The report Of Nine. Forwerg's val.
liable disclosures ends here, but there
are many other symptoms that might
be added, For example. a crushed
condition Of the thumb nail, if the suf-
ferer is woman. is sign that she Is
afflicted with the house cleaning mania
and has been trying to tack down a
carpet. If the nail is long, with very
dark crescent moon at the end, it is
an indication Of an accumulation of mi
crobes and other foreign matter under
meath and calls for the use of mani
cure set. A very dark appearance in
the palm of small boy is almost
sure symptom that he has been playing
in the coal bin. Treat with soap and
water. To prevent recurrence of the
attack his mother should place the pa
tient firmly across her knee and apply
her own palm to his anatomy rapidly
and forcibly.
The presence Of white specks on the
nails may indicate almost anything,
from anaemia to liver complaint.
An adult imagination is prime
requisite in this sort of diagnosing.
