THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON.

Many changes have been charged
IN to Time since the first day when
Adam and Eve found themselves the
only inhabitants of a childless Eden
Changes just as radical have marked
that less remote period that is reck-
oned from the day when Solomon es-
tablished his title to the wise-man belt
by deciding the ownership OF a pre-
cious infant claimed by two mothers.
And one OF the latest and most strik-
ing examples of this change is the
awarding of the Gould children to the
father and mother-by the month. 1t
is several revolutions Of the wheel
from the old idea of the family, with
it's father and mother. its children, its
Preside and its home-to that more
modern and more fashionable concep-
ton of the relationship existing De
tween parents and offspring to which
Justice Gerald has just given legal
sanction. Under the new regime the
mother stands guard at the altar OF
love for six months in the year and
then the father has a shift" Papa
Gould is permitted to rear his progeny
according to his own ideas and tastes
for a certain number OF weeks and
then Mama Gould comes in and d.
rects the family destiny for an equal
neriod The scientific world will look
on and watch the result with interest.
AS there was no correspondent men
toned in the decree II is pretty
well assured that some incompatibility
OF temper or temperament must have
existed between the two Goulds. Very
likely one loved quiet and the other
fuss. one was Bohemian the other con-
yentional. They might have been at
mental dagger's points on thousand
questions. This is merely for the
sake of argument, as the rendering OF
similar decisions will certainly find a
parallel case to the supposed one, and
then II not now, an exhibition VIII be
given OF young minds trained to dou
BILE thoughts. DR.. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
will be a reality. Feet that are taught
TO dance six months in the year Will

Crops are splendid. Prices are high.
The transportation companies are con-

the White House the big interests feel
secure. the little ones are compelled

The list is an eminent one and repre-
SCENTS the best brains and thought OF

The prosperity is not at all national

in the city; many others will be erect

ILLUMINATING.

Senator Smith, of South Carolina'
stated upon the floor of the Senate
that the United States Steel Corpora
ton opposed free iron ore. When
pressed by Senator Tillman for infor'
nation regarding his discovery OF this
fact he stated that representatives OF
the big steel combine had requested
him to vote against the removal of the
duty. The statement OF Senator
Smith is Illuminating. 1t will be re-
called that eighteen (or more than one
half the Democratic senators) voted Tor
a % cent duty on iron ore. Senators
Frazier and Taylor were among the
number 1t is also recalled that many
republican senators. men OF the type
Of Beyeridge and LaFollette, wanted
iron ore admitted free. The public
will note with interest the position OF
the Steel corporation on this schedule
and will also note that they got what
they wanted.

a MILLION A YEAR.

innate 10 say that he earned one nil
lion dollars for each working year oil
his life. And it is very probable that
Mr. Rogers accumulated two million
dollars each working year of his lie
as MS fortune is estimated at from
Afrv To one hundred million dollars and
NAV have been even greater Inc
earning capacity OF the big magnate'
II il can be correctly termed sucn'
rApreseuts more than the average
mind can conceive of. There are very
few neople. indeed, who could &C
curately count one million dollars
and there is the smallest num-
ber who ever see so much money IN
an entire lifetime. The number VINO
own that amount, counting those VINO
inherit fortunes, is extremely limited.
aBrewster's Millions presented the
problem of spending million dollars
and it was difficult enough. II was
so dffncult that it was almost impossi-
ble. Then how much harder must II
have been to earn that sum yearly
The fact that Mr. Rogers was success

sal amount suggests that ne

probably be nearer the truth to ADMIT

fact that some men collect far more
from the world than they are due Il
might be cited that when the mighties'

continue to revolve. Socialism Is
