Jim Hill says that the way to
make fortune is to learn it. - That
depends on what he calls FORUM @.
The fortune of a few thousands
may be earned, but human life. no
matter how prolonged, cannot give
sufficient time to"earn" a million.
If inherited, it is not earned and no
man can acquire it in life time by
methods which are strictly honest.
Some fellow mortal has been de-
frauded somewhere, somehow, to
make a millionaire. He may not
have transgressed the human law,
but be has stretched the divine and
moral law; he has not always done
as he would have been done by and
his conscience has at times told him
so. No, fortunes as measured by
Jim Hills strandard, cannot be
earned and no one knows this
better than Hill himself. Preston

The governorship has, it is alleged,
narrowed down to three candidates.
Senator Sam Lord, who has declared
himself for everything in sight;
present State Treasurer julius
Block, who stands for success in
politics, and Senator Jacob Jacob
son, who has long waged battle for
the peoples rights. Senator Lord
is acceptable to the railroads as he
is regarded as safe man, and has
long trained in their combination.
Mr.. Block is master politician,
and will likely have the support of
that element. Senator. jacobson is
regarded as the LaFonette is Of

Odd Insurance.

Only one company issues flywheel
insurance, because only one man can
write il. He is monarch of all his in
spectOrs survey; his right there is none
to dispute, says Leslie's Magazine Two
years ago he was a professor in a
small engineering college with some
theories and figures of his own about
fywheels
His success is largely due TO his own
formula, for fywheel insurance is al
most pure mathematics. When a wheel
is revolved at high enough speed the
centrifugal force exceeds the centri-
petal and the wheel flies apart. Solid
cast iron explOdes when the speed at
the rim is. roughly, three miles a min
ute. y thick rim explodes just as cas-
lily as thin one of the same material
Wood explodes at greater speed,
jointed iron at a less.
The underwater allows a rim speed
of mile minute, one-third the ex-
plOsion rate, permits Il two-foot pulley
wheel 16 revolutions a second, while it
keeps a 1G-foot fywheel down to two
y jointed wheel is allowed still less.
The underwater has only to name
the number of revolutions he author
ICES. and to proportion his premium TO
the size of the wheel. The larger the
wheel. of course, the more destructive
its explosion.

perverse. Some or all of these charg-
es may be true, but. whatever may be
the case aS;to Mansfield the man, there
are few disSenterS from the popular
verdict that Mansfield is the foremost
actor of the age. Those who have

with his consummate art-with the skill
that leaves not the smallest corner I'M

into the character he is depicting.
When one sees Mansfield. whether as

Getting Toward the Last Act.

1t is announced that Richard Mans
field will retire from the stage after a
few short tours in the next three sea
sons. This decision is declared to have
been dictated by his fear that his
health is slowly breaking down under
the strain. During the three coming
winters, Mr.. Mansfield will act in New
York, Boston, Chicago and PhiIadel-
phia. According to present plans he
will probably play two more engage
ments in cities accustomed to a one
week engagement. The three brief
tours are so mapped out that in each
instance they will be in farewell.
Next season he will play in New
England, Canada and the northwest,
the second season on the Pacific coast.
and the third season in the south and
the largest cities. Then he will play
in Paris. Besides his present roper
toire of nine plays he will revive 'Cy-
rano." and Macbeth" and will pro-
duce two new plays.
Opinions of Richard Mansfield as
man vary. Opinions of Richard Mans
field, the actor are not divergent, but
as a MAJ nc has been represented as
cross-grained, ill-tempered. egotistical.
He has been pictured as willful and
stubborn. He has been described by
those who have been brought into close
contact with him as whimsical and

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Common Abuse of the Verbs to Get
to Lay and to Lie.

10 Lay Hnu Lie.
The verb To get is one of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire.
win. obtain. and primarily it signifies
the putting forth of effort to attain
something Consequently it is not only
superfluous, but incorrect. to speak of
Il man rs getting drowned" or get
ting sick" and you may unfortunately
''have Il cold but it is impossible that
you "have got cold At this mo-
ment no exceptions occur TO the writer
to the rule that got should never be
used in connection with have. which
alone sufficiently expresses possession.
Say Il have the picture" not IL have
got the picture THE dog has Il
broken leg" not THE dog has got Il
broken leg"
The irregular verbs lay ana lie aye
frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay Is an &C
tive or transitive verb, and lie is pas
sive or intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie ut rest. You lie down,
have lain down, will lie down or are
lying down; she lay down yesterday
and Is going TO lie down this afternoon.
a frequent error is to confound the
past lenses of these verbs. One should
say, MARY laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book
lies on the table.
