WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
In the fiftieth year OF the life OF Jabez
Hottie. the multimillionatre, the thought
came to him that 1t might be good for his
soul II he gave away in charity some Of
the noney that he had reached out and
picked up right and left since his pick
ers and stealers'' had been strong enough

So Jabez Hottie sent for a reporter and
said 10 him: What is the best way to
let the world know that l am not merely
an admirer of wealth. but that all my
money-getting has had but one object. the
final giving ava Of all my goods to the
poor?'
The reporter said: You might adver-
tise in our financial page to this effect:
'Jabez Hottie. millionaire, wishes to d.
vide his wealth among tho really deserv-
ing.
Address him at the Post Once, naming
amount desired and giving your oath to
reouite him by spreading abroad the good
report Of his generosity"
Jabez looked troubled. Il am afraid that
would be too widespread In its effect" said
he. Il expect to live many years, and did
not intend to give you the impression hat
l wished to divest myself of my means as
q man divests himself Of his shirt-at once.
I thought 1 would be willing to give some
thing Ill a thousand dollars to some we'll
known institution, and I am willing-per-
fectly w~illing-to talk about 1t to the ex-
tent OF a column in your paper"
The reporter grew an inch. Mr.. Hol-
tite,' said he, III you are actually going
to give a thousand dollars to any sort of
institution. or even to a college. and will
promise to let no other newspaper hear Of
Il before we have a chance to give It

Never. unless I was sure that I would

ton.
