You just sit here by the fire smoking your pipe. Why don't you brace up and go out and hunt up a place where you can get rid of some money! Surely there Is some charity some where that will take a few millions 1T you put on your good clothes and tell the boss how the whole family Is suf- fering.' Then I would go out and trY. I would walk the streets all day look ing for a willing taker, and at night would go home, and there would be my wife standing in the door with smile on her face and hope in her heart. and I. sould hardly dare tell her that an- other day had passed and no millions given away. But she was good wife and she stood by me bravely in my misfortune. and all she would ever say was:-'well. perhaps tomorrow you can find a place where you can give million or so.
 T looked in the columns of the newspapers day after day, among the Want Advertisements" continued Eliph' Hewitt "and I saw hundreds of advertisements of colleges and chari- ties that needed a good giver with mill lions, but they all said. No tainted millions need apply. or Money must be absolutely clean One day I found an advertisement that brought hope to my heart. Seven hundred millions wanted immediately; a university in the West needs the donation of the above amount; might accept more from the right party as a favor; taint no objection Call at 794 Wall street, Tuesday morning, before breakfast I ran all the way from my palace in Fifth Avenue to the address given and burst into the room. but I was not the first. There were sixty or sev- enty other millionaires ahead of me, and all had their check books open in their hands. They were standing in line awaiting their turn, and at last ! worked my way up to the desk. Your name?' said the man at the desk. Eliph' Hewlitt,' I answered. How much do you want to give away" he asked. Two hundred and fifty mil lions,' I answered. Very well,' he said We have no recipient open to-day, but we may have soon. I will enter your name. It was then that I knew that this was but another of the employ ment bureaus that are the curse of the man who has millions to give away. They promise freely, but they never perform. If anything turns up.' said the employment man. we will let you know. Our fee is s6.Oo0, ,OOO.' At that he handed me the fee-$6,000.00 in tainted money. It was the old game, decoying the poor millionaire by means of a cleverly worded advertisement and then, instead of taking his mill lions, giving him more"
 T don't think Peter Wimble would have started that kind of an employ ment bureau" said MT. Parsley, grave ly. MT. Wimble is. as the world goes. an honest man. but he has never bothered any college presidents by trying to force his wealth on them. And I do not think his wealth Is badly tainted.

If you cannot get the richest man in town to head your list of subscribers the rule of the game Is to get the min ister's name. As a rule, too, it is safer to call on the minister.

This agent is, how over, strongly reinforced, and it's cura- tive acticn greatly enhanced by the addition, in just the right proportion of Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Mandrake root and chemically pure glycerine. All of these are happily and tremendously blended into 2 most perfect phar- maceutical compound, now favorably known throughout most of the civilized countries of the world.

fixed to the wall of a PEASANTS house.

when the famous exile came along one
day and expressed an interest in his
work. Napoleon even took the plow-
share out of the mans hand and at
tempted TO guide it himself. But the
oxen refused to obey hin. overturned
the pillow and spoiled the gdrrow.
The inscription runs us: Napoleon
