Of money. 1t is quite true he did not

but he knew its value to others. He
knew its value to the poor and help
less. and to these he gave with a
lavish hand.
Once. not long before his death,
playing three nights engagement in
an unpretentious midland town, his
habit was to drive nightly to the thea
ter IA very short distance from his
hoteD in the same dilapidated fly. The
fare was shilling. The conveyance
was shabby, the driver old. poor and

There is no doubt that the Malays are

Except in rare cases they will not take
the trouble to learn when they, are
young, and afterward, If they have
learned, they will not exert themselves
to apply their knowledge to any object
which require sustained effort.
That they possess effort Is known to
any one who has seen Malays engaged

Such opportunities as this are not
often offered. The fieldglasses most
Of US could manage to do without, but
the male bobcat, the female coyote
and the mandolin would go far to
make life happy for any reasonable In
dividual. All these are productive OF

course, some people who cannot play
upon a mandolin. but anybody can
play upon a bobcat or coyote. This
