GET BIG MONEY
FOR DOING NOTHING

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, August y, 1912.
TO the big crowd of people in this
= country who are paid lavishly by the
state for doing nothing a distinguished
addition has just been made. The lucky
man is the Rt. Hon. William Snowden,
Baron Robson, G. c. NJ G. (short for
Grand Cross of ST. Michael and ST.
George), who. after serving for just two
years as one of his majesty's Judges
fifteen years being the usual term-has
just been 'jobbed' by the Asquith gov
ernment into a pension of $1S,SsO per an
mum for life. Taxpayers are wroth, not
being able to see why a man who already
has made his pile out of the practice Of
the law should get big money from the
state for living life of ease, but Lord
Robson has been a stanch liberal since
the beginning of his career. and the pres
ent administration is nothing IL not CRATE
full to its supporters.
x i,
However, the nice little income which
the ex-lord Of appeal will draw hence
forth without working for 1t will be
comparatively triling addition to the
sum of $4,000 or so which Britain pays
every year in annuities and pensions to
folk who. for the most part, have done
nothing whatever to deserve them. The
majority OF them get the money because
they happen to be the descendants OF
persons, who, long ago, were awarded
these annuities.
Among the biggest OF these perpetual
pensions Is that received by the Duke of
Richmond and Gordon twhose vast estate

Why? Because here the world thus

in structure was perhaps more akin to the

whose skill. born of necessity, had truly
created many things of which We are but

The grotto of Cadet was formerly in
ecumeur de mer, or wrecker who was
haunted by the devil. Cadet had con-
structed a barque at the summit of the
cliffs When everybody laughed at his
inability to launch it on the waters far
below he simply smiled and said ''Wait.'
Next morning the barque was seen float
ing on the bay
This barque, whose pilot was black
sheet with twisted horns. went out to sea
in the most terrific tempests, and it was
noticed that it always went toward Cor
douoan. Flying over the sea In the
midst of the tempest, it misled other
boats and shipwrecked them on the cruel
rocks, causing more wrecks than the
lighthouse could save. Cadet. in the hands
of the devil, became rich with the wreck

One wild night Cadet. snug in his tight
cave, mulled good Medoc wine beside a
roaring fire. Black shadows in the cor
ners fiickered. Cadet laughed. But the
black shadows came up to him. warmed
themselves round his fire. drank his
mulled wine and pushed Cadet out into
the cold by the cave door.
And Cadet saw that they were naked
men, with skins round loins and shoul
