a real equivalent for the money spent,
and that Is to cultivate a taste for Civ
ing where the money may produce an
effect which will be a lasting gratifica-
ton.
1.-THE best philanthropy is not what
is usually called charity. 1t is rather
the Investment of efforts or time or
money, carefully considered with rela-
ton to the power. of employing people
at a remunerative wage to expand and
develop the resources at hand, and to
give opportunity for progress and
healthful labor where it did not exist
before.
1.-THE one thing which such a business
philosopher would be most careful to
avoid in his investment of time and
money is the unnecessary duplication
of existing industries. He would re-
gard all money spent in increasing
needless competition as wasted and
worse"
Speaking of work along the lines Of
he means of subsistence, which he
takes to be the foundation upon which
the whole of civilization rests, he says:
I'VE have sought to make investment
in such a way as will tend to multiply,
10 cheaper and to diffuse as universally
AS possible the comforts of life. We
lain no credit for preferring these
lines of Investments. We make no sac
riices. These are the lines of surest
and largest return.
while men of wealth control great
sums of money, they do not and can
aot use it for themselves. They have,
indeed, the legal title to large proper
ties and they do control the investment
! of them, but that is as far as their
| own relation to them extends or can
extend. The money is universally diff
fused, in the sense that 1t is kept in
vested and it passes into the pay
envelope week by week."

BY ADELINE STANLEY CARRICK.

INT DIV to be happy though rlch,
is being discussed by people
nowadays in all walks of life;
poor folk, who find a melancholy pleas
ure in dreaming of what they have not;
socialists, whose pipe dreams about
making the world one beautiful hal :
mony consist mainly in absorbing the
rich mans riches and then showing him
how to spend 1t; near-rich folk, who
talk about the blessing of wealth and
the joy of charity so that people VIII
think they're richer h a they are; anu
the genuine rich, whose tales are most
pitiful of all. Through every line ard
between every word you see the truth,
you can't"
John D. Rockefeller says that the
best philanthropy is not what is usual
ly called charity, and then ne talks
about it being rather the investment of
effort or time or money, carefully con-
sidered.
That may be splendid from a mill
ionaire's point of view, but what does
he know of the philanthropy and charl-
ty of poor folk?
There is nothing in the world ike
the unselfsh glow that accompanies a
little sacrifice for someone else. What
chance has the venerable John d. of
ever depriving himself of anything,
for the sake of somebody else?
When he came out of church after
the Thanksgiving service John d. told
his friends how thankful he was for
everything, for the many blessings De-
slowed upon him.
He has the blessings. sure enough
but when, o when. Toe ne get a
chance to enjoy them?
Andrew Carnegie declares in his Door
on wealth that m~illionaires VINO

tune is scarcely less difficult than to
acquire it. He adds. with grim humor,
that a philanthropist is usually a mar
with more money than sense.

Judge by the Record.

The Jennings Herald says: The
friends of Mr.. Pujo are disposed
to caval about who owns the Sui
phur mines. They do not deny
the fact that it is a. corporation
and very wealthy, they do not dis
pute the fact that the company
went into the courts to defeat the
parish in attempting to collect the
tax assessed against it by Mr.. Rich
ards, neither do they deny the
statement that MIR. Pujo accepted
fee from the corporation.
1t does not matter who owns the
Sulphur mines and for all the pub
lie knows it belongs to the Stand
ard Oil company. The most i'm
portant point III the whole matter
is that Mr.. Pujo accepted a fee
from the corporation aud did all
that he was able to do to defeat his
home parish, his neighbors and
friends, out of the tax that the as
SCISSOR says they are entitled to
pay.
1t is proper now that MIR. PuJo
should GO to those whose battles he
fought for support in his race for
congress, aud it is sensible and
logical that the taxpayers of the
parish, whose interests Mr.. PuJo
fought in the courts, should vote
against him.
The friends of Mr.. Pujo claim
