The Way of the Philanthropist.

"And Ill have you KNOW
that the way Of the philanthropist Is
hard" Thus spake Andrew Carnegie al'ei
a session with members OF Ne" iofh
Grand fury to whom he had eXpiaiueu
some OF the embarrassments he hao SUI
Tered In connection with trust company
bearing his name which had failed.
It must be hard. The way OF every
widely advertised rich man is hard. 'e
Is besieged by persons seeking assistance
When they fail to reach his presence
they try to. and often do. reach him oy
mail. Communications range all the way
from the simplest hard luck story OF
Door devil down and out, to the elaborate
appeal of a man with q scheme whch
only lacks money backing to revoiut1on-
ixe things and benefit mankind. Paupers
to the right of him, takers to the dert OF
him, volley and thunder. His secretaries
save him as much as possible, out with
all their care he Is yet a target Tor the
woes and insincere Establishments or all
sorts and conditions Of human strusglers.
And all of this is multiplied a hundred
fold in the case of Mr.. Carnegie, who IS
not only enormously rich, but known Tar
and wide for views much out OF the COM
mon as to how riches should be employed
He has given largely to the MODEST ends.
He has In many ways increased the sum
of human happiness. And he Is still busy
doing good; still anxious to know where
and how more good may be done; still
tho possessor of wealth SO great that the
average man staggers in his effort to
grasp the amount Of it. and how 1t con-
tinues, notwithstanding its owners bene-
factions, to pile up.
To Mr.. Carnegie, therefore, must come
appeals and representations of all kinds.
some good, many bad. He sees mankind
in the worst manifestations. The process
sion passing before him includes vision
aries. exaggerators Of facts. adventures,
and common swindlers. That he keeps
I'D his public spirit. still believes in any
body, and still bushes himself seeking
worthy channels Of activity, is a credit to
the stoutness Of his heart and his love
for the world. Cnsustained by such feel
ing, he would probably long since have
been borne down by his experience.
It was an English judge of eminence
who, in conversation thanking g. per-
soual friend for tribute to the service
on the bench he was rendering the state,
said something like this: Il chose the
profession OF the law deliberately, ana
think have shown qualifications for 1t.
I deeply felt. too. the honor OF my eleva-
ton TO the bench. But 1t requires all the
philosophy I can command to enable me
to keep my place. and my nature from
becoming thoroughly soured with the
world. hear SO much transparent per-
Jury. and see exposed SO many schemes
of men for overreaching one another. that
at times the experience is sickening. 1
have more than once wished that had
never seen the inside Of a courtroom, or
heard the sound of voices contending for
advantages under the law"
1Gr. Carnegie may feel this way at times
about his colossal fortune. Along with
opportunities for doing good, it mas re-
vealed to him many repulsive phases OF
weak human nature. and made him the
victim Of much imposture.

in Congress. or course you've heard of
John G. Carlis.e?"
| yes Another great constitutional
lawyer"
Yes, and also a great authority on
parliamentary law. Unlike Mr.. Tucker.
he was fascinated by the subject. and
mastered it."
Still, while the Tucker precedent is
consoling. I should like to make front

Record, and I want to register now and

Better go slow If you are tangled on
the rules"
How about a motion to adjourn?
That's always in order, isn't it?'
Not for you. Oscar Underwood has
those motions in charge. He DECIDES
when we have had enough. The chair
looks to him for that bunch. From you
or me it would come as an impertinence"
Then, point of order"
ITO raise that would argue a knowl-
edge of Just where we all were. and that
would be beyond YOU"
"a parliamentary inquiry. then"
THAT would be dangerous for you. IT
you stumbled upon something difficult
and complex you might embarrass the
Speaker and make yourself unpopular
with him. If you stated simple case
you'd merely advertise your ignorance,
and get in bad"
rs there no chance for poor devil
in my atuation?"
"One-just one. There's a motion to
strike out the last word. Study that.
When mastered. It's q boon to a fellow
who does not know his way around. l
relied upon 1t solely during my first two
terms I became a holy terror to last
words, and struck 'em out right and
left"
Explain the process"
"No, I doubt II I could. You must
work 1t out for yourself. The rules Of
parliamentary procedure are like the
rules Of grammar, in that when expound-
ed from the hard text they often con-
fuse the beginner. Correct speech Is
often a matter Of the ear. Likewise an
understanding of rules Is often a matter
of observation. Make note as well as you
can Of how last words are swatted. and
when you think you have learned the
trick swat 'em yourself. 1t helped me-
and it should help you.''
"And that Is your last wordT'
my last word, but don't strike it out.
You want to keep that for seed"

Tom Jones and Susie Lemon

To see the flowers. and hear the birds,
And talk, and talk. and talk.
They wished to cross a brooklet,
But Susie was afraid:
Then Thomas helped her over
He was a Lemon aid.

Big Jake was playing center.
Twas time TO make a gain
And Jacob played so nightly
1t caused him serious pain.
The point was really crucial,
He feared that he might fail:
Put too much ginger in his work.
And had q ginger all.

Alas, poor Jake will play no more,
He Ia no longer here:
They laid him down beside q tree,
He persisted ON root bier.

to France and Spain to the organization
of the police in the open ports and regions
adjoining their frontiers.
BY the Franco-German agreement Of
February o. 1909. the right of France to
maintain order in Morocco was conceded.
and Germany engaged not to interfere
with this situation. The Algeciras act
is composed of 123 articles grouped under
seven chapters, namely: Organization OF
the police, surveillance and repression OF
contraband of arms, concession Of Mo-
roccan state bank. a new system OF GUS
toms, rules and regulations. the repres-
sion Of fraud. the public works and gen.
eral dispositions.
The leading principles OF the Algeciras
act are contained in the engagement OF
the signatories of the act to maintain the
sovereignty and independence OF the sui
economical equality OF Morocco without

The Debats sees that il France should
at any time be obliged to prolong her
pretext for a new bargain" The Ger
man press for that reason was already
suggesting conditions. They urge that
France might admit the Bagdad railway
stock, old and new, to quotation on the
Paris bourse. The Debats believes that
to make such concessions at the moment
when French capital is being solicited for
important French enterprises in Turkey
would be the height of folly.

NJ. Ribot prefaced his remarks by his
appreciation of the Russian alliance, II
was more precious than ever for the
equilibrium OF Europe and the security
of France. The English friendship was
likewise a great diplomatic force. And
since he comprehended the reason OF
each in the permanent interests Of the
three countries he could not believe that
the errors Of policy could suffice to ruin
either the alliance or the friendship.
