The Millionaire and The Boy

The other day, when the elevator
service in the Standard Oil building,
at 26 Broadway, New York gave out,
the newspapers had considerable
amusement over the fact that the mil
ionaire tenants of that building had
to walk from two to fourteen flights of
stairs to get to their Offices. In this
connection an amusing story is told
about Henry NJ Flagler, one of the
oldest of the Standard Oil pioneers.
While approaching the age of 81, he is
strong and stalwart, paying regular
attention to his large business inter
ests, both in New York and in Florida
His Office is on the twelfth floor of
the Standard Oil building, and it was
thought that he would not care to do
what many a younger man would
shrink from, and so porter was sent
to meet him at the door and advise
him to establish his office temporar-
lily on a lower floor, as the elevators

were out of service. While the porter
was fastening on this mission, Mr..
Flagler was gayly climbing the stairs
and shortly appeared on the twelfth
floor as unconcerned as ever. w. H.
Beardsley, Mr.. Flagler's right-hand
man, tells an interesting story about
a messenger boy who was to have de-
livered message to Mr.. Flagler, but
who declined to climb twelve flights
of stairs to do so. How old is the
boy?" asked Mr.. Beardsley. sixteen" ="
was the reply. We'll" said Mr.. Boards
ley, you can tell that boy that a fine
old gentleman approaching his eighty
first birthday has just climbed the
twelve flights of stairs without turning
a hair" Turning to Mr.. Flagler, Mr..
Beardsley remarked: You have taken
|. the conceit out of good many today"

Ellen Terry's Joke.

When Ellen Terry was presented
with Founders gold medal at the
New theater, New York, recently-an
honor conferred in recognition of her
great services to dramatic art-she
was called upon to make a speech Of
acceptance. 1t so happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarse and
she was therefore forced to cut her
remarks short. So she told this story:
"a friend of mine once bought par
rot and gave much money for 1t with
the understanding that 1t could speak
fluently, but when he reached home
with it he found to his dismay that
the bird was dumb. So he took 1t
back. This parrot cannot say word,
he said Indignantly to the bird fancier.
1T can't talk at ALL Talk!' the deal
er exclaimed. Come to think Of IL.

ran for about 20 rods and then went
into maple clump that was nearly
as bad as the alder and willow brush
we had crawled through early In the
morning. Neil lost his hat. Then
limb of a tree sprang back and struck
my forehead, knocking me into a
woodchuck's den. When / came to
there was Mr.. Goat sitting few yards
from me, chattering as II l had plum
dered hia orchard. took out my Cole
revolver and settled his hash, as
thought. At the crack Of the weapon
Neil came hurriedly up to see what
was happening, and fell off log he
was climbing over, and skinned his
elbow on a rock. In the meantime the
goat hobbled up the mountainstde and
lay down upon a ledge of rock about
200 yards above us. The way we
went up that rock slide on all fours
would surprise a Siwash. We got up
within about % yards of the rock and
Mr.. Goat stuck his head over the
ledge as much as to ask where we
came from.
Shoot him." yelled Neil.
"Shoot nothing" said l, II can't
shoot a flock of balloons-shoot him
yourself"
At this the goat thought 1t was his
move and hobbled off the rock, pass
ing Neil within about six feet. Nell
grabbed a handful Of wool and lost
his hold. He then made another lunge
and stubbed his foot and fell fiat, and
as he fell chanced to grab the goats
hind leg. He was dragged for about
20 feet, yelling for help at the top OF
his voice. Finally the goat fell down
and Neil got up, still hanging on to
the leg. He managed to get his re-
volver out, but the goat kicked and
Goundered so that ne could not han
die both.
BY this time l had got to him and
he gave me the goats leg to hold, and
then stepped in front of the goat to
get a shot at his head. Mr.. Goat did
not approve of that and made lunge
sideways that upset me and l was
| dragged about Is feet. When l man
aged to get right side up l found that
the goat had wedged himself between
two rocks and had to stop. Here is
where we killed him at last.

Bang. Bang! Crack! Ping!

they have stirred up. Even that goat
is going; they have only crippled him.
Now, look at him hiding behind that
rock"
YES" said l, "but Ross sees him;
he has a bead on him now. Bang!
He has got him"
Ross laid down his gun, took out his
knife and on reaching the goat, at
tempted to take hold of a horn to
lift up Mr.. Goats head and bleed him,
when his quarry made leap off the
rock they were on and bounded
around the other side of the cliff as
though he had just woke up.

at him go; he'll get away sure"
The goat was making across the
slide where we had seen them the
night before and was headed for a
thick patch of timber.

said l. Il guess they have got him
this time, so we might as we'll go

Bill, we're not sure yet. Where are

Of the others losing the goat that un-

CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care

troubled with dizziness, spots before

"The baby was born months ago,
and almost from the beginning, it, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was

Food for the Invalid.

Food for the Invalid.
Those who have sick people to feed,
and care for, are often at a loss to
know what to feed them and have 1t
at the same time appetizing and nutri-
tious
In serving a glass of milk. a cup
of cruel or beef tea, place on plate
covered with a dolly.
In cases of kidney disease, the diet
should be limited almost entirely to
vegetables, skinned milk and plenty
of water.
Dyspeptic people should avoid all
plest diet.
rheumatic patient should be de-
MED sweets and only the white meats
should be eaten; also gluten bread
and toast.
The hard part of an oyster should
be removed when serving them to an
i'll person.
Liquid foods are followed by the
semi-solid foods in convalescence.
The old-fashtoned method of feed
ing cold and starving a fever is not
considered good, as science has shown
that plenty of nourishment is required
to repair the waste of the tissues,
caused by the fever.
After the liquid diet comes the
soups, thickened with rice and barley,
eggs in various forms, milk and cream
toast, chicken and beef jelly and SIM
liar foods. Grape juice, lemonade,
fiaxseed tea, barley water are drinks
that are given frequently, in small
quantities.
After long illness, solid food
is resumed very gradually and in
small quantities. as the digestive sys-
TEN must not be over-taxed.
Typhoid fever patients are, as a
rule, very ravenous when they first
begin to improve, and the greatest
care should be taken that they do
not over-eat or take any food that
may cause a relapse.
Scraped beef sandwiches, sago and
rice pudding. bread and milk, baked
apples, soup with an egg beaten up
irs 1t, custard and occasionally we'll
baked potato may be some of the
dishes that the invalid can eat with
safety
Later a broiled lamb chop or a
piece of rare beef steak may be
given.

How to DisInfect.

The careless manner in which many
people fumigate their homes after a
siege of infectious disease Is to say
the least criminal.
AS soon as the physician gives per
mission to move the patient, he should
be given a hot bath and sponging all
over with a weak solution of bichlo-
ride, and move him into the room pre-
pared for him.
The sick room itself should be thor
oughly disinfected and everything that
has been used that it is necessary to
keep and is washable should be
soaked for several hours in solu-
ton of carbolic acid twenty parts to
q hundred of water. 1t is almost i'm
possible to disinfect a mattress well
at home and it should either be
burned or sent to an establishment
where such things are sterilized.
There are several methods of fumt-
CATION; one is the burning of sulphur,
and follow that by wiping off every
thing in the room with a solution of
bichloride, one part to five hundred
of water. The walls may be wiped
with a broom bag dampened with the
solution.
The use of formaldehyde is pre-
ferred by many, stopping up every
crack and keyhole and letting the vol
atile substance penetrate every part
Of the room.
All bedding should be spread out
over chairs so that the gas will have
easy access to it. Leave the room
closed for ~ hours, then air thor
oughly Formalin lamps which pro-
duce the gas may be purchased. This
is one of the easiest methods and one
that is considered most satisfactory.
Books and toys are something impossi-
bic to fumigate or disinfect, and it is
much better to burn them than to run
any risks of contagion.
Disease germs live a long time in
hiding, and one cannot use too much
care and precaution.
The germs of consumption are
killed by a few minutes exposure to
The direct sunlight, as are many other
germs, so let us use the cheap and
easily available germicide and keep
our homes healthful and sweet.
