THANK YOU, MIR. CARNEGIE.

e. AndreW Carnegie is a paradox. a
{pleasing paradox; very benevolent
and quite a glory to his day. To-
wards the support Of Negro education
Stha 8roHmaster has given generonsly.
ttaaftostentatously, and with that han
,%Diness that becoyers gifts with the
simplicity in which there Is 50 much
SsDe"er and SO much good. We say
INC rs a paradox because hI nails the
t52ccepted proverb that a man OF worde
i%as not man Of deeds and all that
sskind OF thing. Our philanthrovist
SSsand our friend is not only capable
.sssof many words, but ne is often and
gfi,roftbcly engaged in them, both on
fgtaHas and on tother side Of the At
5fgllantfc. And when he speaks or when
N}iG writes, he speak3 and writes for
3lNSaudiences. But who more than he
&anBages In noble deed? Who speaks
S8ionder for humanity? Who believa;
more In humanity? Or who gives
8alore beautifully for It's salvation
gXsE$l3o one. 1t is not too much to say
.&that In many directions, Mr.. Carnegi.

OF JOHN BILLIARD
Sketch of Remarkable Meriden Man Who Has Bought Bos-
 ton and Maine Road.
HIS MANY INTERESTS THERE
Considered Able Financier, About Whose Ability to Finance Propo-
 sition There's No Doubt.

"So John Billiards bougnt the Bos- ton and Maine road remarked his friends and neishbors in Meriden, Conn, after they read 'fa morning paper one day last week, says the Boston Transcript. Well, most like ly he's able to, and l guess he'll find 1t possible to run 1t" they said to each other. It didn't occasion any special excitement to find railway magnate in their midst, for Merden has long been used to the fact that John L. Billiard is d quiet, sagacious, close mouthed man with ample financial re- sources and the ability to handle such affairs as he takes hold of with no little success. He has for some time past dominated the banking situation in Meriden, which is a city of under 50 900, but the home of the silver trust and other important manufacturing interests, and of no small amount of wealth. It Is also the home of num- erous men and women who are of ne small importance in their own spheres but go about their everyday lives in a quiet, orderly way, which brings them into no unusual prominence un iii some time when their special abil ities are required.
 Mir. Billiard is himself the presiden of the Meriden Savings bank, a trus
 tee of the Meriden Trust and Safe De
 posit company, and director of tn
 Merlden National bank, while his SO

A poem of most original conception
and of unusual merit is The Volt
Folk" published in the current number
of the Youths Companion, from the
pen Of Miss Josephine Spencer of this
city. II has been pronounced one of the
most original in its theme of the pres,
ent time, and its wonderful thought
along scientific lines is shown in these
few closing lines:
Large as now their prowess swells-
Yet a wider kingdom dwells
In the promise of a day
Waiting on their distant way.
Castled here in common walls,
Ere another century falls.
They shall mold a new-faced earth
Stored miracles give birth
Conquer realms of sea and air
Law new truths of science bare,
That shall make earth's widening
scheme
Strange-to match a wizards dream;
MarVels of Aladdin's tale
Make promise, trite and pale,
And the wonders time shall view
Seem a fairy tale come true

Now that the gifts are all counted
and checked off, isn't it interesting to
see lust how they came about? The
men would have one believe, of course,
that they are the only martyrs WHO get
the gifts their wives designed for the
household, but they're not. Despite the
fact that one humorous Salt Lake man
saws he always gets new lace curtains
for the high windows where even he
can't look out, there are others, and
women. too, who get much along the
same line. The mother who would rath-
er have a parlOr rug than a set of furs
can't get away from the notion that
father would rather have a silver tea
set than many boxes of cigars. And so
it's the point of view, after all, that
makes the gift either acceptable or 9TH
erwise.
Only a few hours remain of the year
of 1908, and there are any number of
good catches in the leap year line which
the girls Of Salt Lake are overlooking.
OF course, it would be unnecessarily
cruel TO place a man in the has been
class, but unless there are some sud-
den matches within the next four days
there will be a lot of them left for an
other four years, maybe.
