 The givers make up a pretty full list of the very wealthy persons in the United States, there being 21S names in all. Of these, 67 are women, which is certainly a magnificent showing for the gentler sex, when it is remembered that most of the wealth is in the hands of men. The list as a whole comprises most of the names that are household words in the country. There are sev- eral names new to the public. however. Among them is Mrs. Amanda Reed of Pasadena, who gave $2,000,000 to the Reed institute of Oregon. As was to have been expected. Mir. Carnegie led all the rest. The twelve people named below gave a total of more than forty three millions:

 braries, five colleges, two
 clubs, a convalescent home,

 And as to one name, at least. the foregoing figures are not accurate. Late in December John D. Rockefeller made another large donation to his favorite institution, the University of
 
 already aggregate more than twelve millions, and the officials have ceased to report his later subscriptions. And it is true, of course, that the gifts made publicly and of which record is kept do not represent all the sums given in charity by the men and women whose names figure largely in the worlds financial affairs. Probably the char itabIe work quietly performed would amount to quite as much as that O. which the public has knowledge. As q rule. it is only after a rich American is dead that his countrymen learn to some extent how his hand was helpful in charity.
 The late Coils P. Huntington, for in stance, was constantly lampooned in many newspapers as a typical sI1inhint and as a man who boasted that ''he could not be tracked through the world by the quarters he had dropped" MT. Huntington did not take the trouble to make denial. and hostile newspapers made a reputation for him which he did not deserve. After his death his private memoranda disclosed that he had given away hundreds upon hun dreds of thousands of dollars. There was a long list-unfortunate friends and deserving people-who had been the recipients of his charity. And Colonel Epes Randolph of Tucson, who was one of his confidential representa- tives. could tell of many individuals in Arizona and California who had reason to know that Huntington was not the skinflint he was painted
 Altogether, it is worth while for pes simistic people to give some thought occasionally to the good that is done in the world by their fellow citizens who
