What do you Want?"
I'VE want YOU to play these three

was beyond belief
1 placed my frail human hold on her
life greater than the divine power
that gave it, and when 1 entered her
room that night it was with the con-
viction, nay the Determination that
the child would be spared.
The doctor sat beside her bed. When

such plying understanding in his eyes

Lee Tor the hope that had sustained

A MILLIONAIRE is a man who has
~ enough money to live 100 years
on $4,000 a year.
Very few millionaires do this, how
ever. Some of them live 10 years on
100000 a year and some so years on
$500 a year.
Moreover, some millionaires work
themselves to death in three years while
trying to get enough money to live 1000
years at 100000 year.
And yet we put men in insane asy-
lums for such trifles as TRYING to chase
pink mice on the ceiling.
MilliOnaires have no distinguishing
features and it is very difficult to detect
them, especially during the open season
for assessments. Some millionaires are
proud of their money and advertise it by
touring cars, fancy wives and large,
shapely residences with Private. Keep
out" on the front gate Others are
ashamed of their money and keep it
locked tightly in a large steel safe so
that it cannot get out and annoy the
poor.
Some millionaires can be detected by
the faces they make when they have to
smoke a cheap p cent cigar. On the
other hand, some millionaires can be de-
tected by the roar which they put up
when the newsboy on the corner tries to
hold out a penny on them.
Millionaires make themselves prin-
cipally in two ways: by saving money
and by making it impossible tor any
one else to save any The latter is by
far the more popular. By lunching on
an apple. wearing the same suit of
clothes % years, and borrowing his
neighbor's lawnmower a man may pos
sibly become a millionaire in time to

The scout oath is this "On my honor

oath, the Scout will stand holding up
his right hand, palm 10 the front,
