3 Keep a.Moyina AIona.

There never was a time in the his.
tory Of the world in which there was
SO violent a passion of movement as
today. We are none OF us content to
live our lives in one place. We must
all be going somewhere in search Of
new sights. The railroad no longer
keeps pace with our desires. The
neatly laid rails which traverse our
continent seem too formal in the rap
idfty OF our thought. It irks us to pre.
sent ourselves at a railway station in
time for the express.
We must settle our own hour and
take our journey as we list. So motor
cars come to the aid of railway trains,
and for those who cannot bear the
sloth and solidity of the earth on which
they were born there is the flying ma
chine.

ROYAL GIFTS TO HUMANITY
Vast Sums Bestowed Yearly by John
D. Rockefeller for the Welfare Of
His Fellow Men.

sometimes we may forget that this
ls the greatest country that the world
has ever known and that each man in
it may be bigger than king. But
about that time we are likely to get
statement about the latest plans of
the Rockefeller foundation, telling us
what is being done with the money
which one living American has been
able to give away for the good Of his
fellow men. And that will set us right,
the New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times-Star writes.
What marvellous thing we would
consider it to be if we learned that
some European sovereign had set aside
out or the yearly income allowed him
by the state few items, for instance,
like this:
Six hundred thousand dollars for
| some new buildings for medical as
sociation striving to find new ways OF
avoiding suffering from disease.
Three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for the spread Of education and
righteousness among the benighted OF
unctvilized lands.
Fifty-nine other items Of expendi-
ture-all for one year only-aggregat-
ing, with the above $1,342,561, running
down to a contribution Of $50 to an
association for the protection of the
rights Of working women.
And all paid out Of the permanent
income of man who used to peddle
coal oil by the gallon from a wagon.
And all to be repeated next year and
the year after and SO long as Amer
lean civilization endures.
Who would want to be king If he
could be Rockefeller?
