AS he did so a dirt train hove in

him. The dynamite man was in a
hurry, SO he climbed on one of the
cars and was about to get off on the
other side when the train started.
This meant perhaps, being carried

" II. Mac Lean, only son OF
John Il. Mac Lean. a multi Millionaire
of Cincinnati and Washington, two of
the most colossal fortunes in this
country were merged. The issue of
this union is Vincent Mac Lean, II
chubby boy of four years who, nat
urally was at once dubbed the Bill
lionaire Baby" Vincent bears up un-
der the burden of this awe-inspiring
title with surprising fortitude, and it
must be said in his favor there is lit
tie in the department of the richest
youngster in the United States to des-
ignate him from other boys of his age
and social station. He is an everyday,
rough and tumble, rollicking happy
little chap who goes about the even
tenor of his way without a thought of
the grave responsibilities that are in
store for him.
Just at present Vincent is reveling
in the Joys of farm life, for with his
parents he went early in the spring
to the magnificent Black Point es-
tate which his parents leased and
which they will occupy until late au-
tumn.

gauntlet. slips through the guard of
footmen and maids and clatters
through the house bleating Justify for
Vincent and Bill.
Vincent, early in his stay at the
Farm, evinced lively interest in
poultry. This became so pronounced
that Mr.. Mac Lean had "A chicken
house and run constructed which was
to be Nincents very own, This was
stocked with rarest foul, and the poul-
terer OF the farm was ordered to in
struct Vincent along correct and sane
lines in the care and keep of his
chickens. The boy was told that if he
was to have chickens he must learn
to take care of them, feed them and
gather the eggs each day. The hours
Vincent and Bill spend in the chicken
yard are by no means the least in
teresting these two while away in the
course Of the day. Each of the boys
pullets and roosters is named and
each answers to its name when Vim
cent arrives at the run. If he is in a
far distant part of the grounds and
hears the cackle OF a hen he knows
at once which of his pets has laid an
egg and he goes scampering to the
hen house to take 1t proudly to the
house.
A True Sportsman.
That Vincent is a true son of his
father, inheriting many Of the sport
ing proclivities of the elder Mac Lean,
is attested by his fondness for game
chickens. There are a number of
game ROSTERS that strut about the
stable yard and Vincent loves nothing

building or when some colossal
project was about to be undertaken.
Today great enterprises pay their toll
to death in a different way. but they
pay it Just the same. for the records
show that even the building of a sky
scraper almost invariably costs the life
OF one or more of the workmen who
are engaged in its erection. Some
times the sacrifice of life Is from an
unavoidable accident, and at others
from sheer carelessncss on the part
of the man himself but whatever the
cause.-The toll of death still goes on.
The building Of the Panama Canal
has been no exception to this rule,
and violent deaths from one cause or
another have been frequent occur
rences, The tons and tons Of dynamite
used have been responsible for the
greater number of fatal accidents.
This is not surprising to those of us
who have been fortunate enough to
visit the scene of this gigantic OK
ample of engineering, and indeed,
one is surprised that even a greater
number of accidents do not occur.
OF course, many of these accidents
are avodablc--such things are
sure to occur in every great work of
constructive engineering. Although
the exact number of deaths caused
10y dynamite has not been kept sepa-
rate from other accidental deaths. it
has been conceded to be over three

years. The tremendous rock cXCaVa-
