SOMEBODY HELD THE BAG.

The several merchants of the city who
were induced by Minneapolis moving
picture concern to invest from $500 to
$40 each in having their places of busi-
ness advertised in what was at the time
termed filming New Ulm,' with the
promise that large share of their inves5-
ment would be returned to them by
splitting the receipts of the local picture
house ''fifty-fifty' on the night when
they were shown in New Ulm, have de-
cided that the small amount which would
fall to each one was not worth the time
of figuring it up and accordingly have
donated the entire lump sum of $22. 10
the Commercial Club.
During the time the pictures were
aken in this city the erroneous impress
s on was given that the Commercial Club
was fathering the scheme and it is said
that many Of the merchants contributed
to the film company with that under
standing. This was not the case. The
entire proposition was private venture
and no local organization was in any
way connected with the scheme. The
only local arrangement was made with
the then proprietor of the Ruby theatre,
S. K. Leen.
According to statement sent out by
the film company they collected a total
of $312.5O from the local merchants
AS above stated, the merchants share o
the returns from showing the pictures
at the local movie was $22.1O and this
pro-rated among the contributors would
amount to about Z cents on the dollar

A town that never has anything to do
in a public way, is on the way to the
cemetery, says an exchange. Any person
who will do nothing for his town is help
ing to dig the grave. A man that curses
the town furnishes the coffin. The man
who is so selfish as to have no time from
his business to give to city affairs is
making the shroud. The man who will
not advertise is driving the hearse. The
man who is always pulling back from
any public enterprise throws the bou-
quets on the grave. The man who is SO
stingy as to be bowling hard times,
p caches the funeral, sings the doxology,
I'D thus the town lies buried from all
s PROV and care.

Ch1caqo's Humblest Multi
| Millionaire

An enterprising reporter has discovered
well-preserved man of fifty-six, who
lives modestly with one servant, in a
small house on a fashionable avenue
1t is his practise, according to the repor-
ter's story, to call at the Office nearly
every morning, wish his associates plea
SAINT day and look over the mail. After
that he may attend a nickel show, walk
in the park or return home to read. What
ever else he does must be his own choice,
for his income of half million year
makes it unnecessary for him to do the
bidding of others. It might be inferred
that man enjoying such an income must
be at the head of very large business,
and employ a great many men and wo-
men. But that is not the case. Aside
from the one servant in his house, he
employs merely enough clerks to con-
duct the bookkeeping incident to his in
come. Perhaps, then he has invented
something of great benefit to the world,
or made some valuable discovery; OF
possibly some one who did these things
gave him the money.
No, it is not known that he ever con-
tributed anything of value to the world
He was fortunate in choosing his father
His immediate forebear was one OF
Chicago's pioneer real estate dealers,
Lands that he bought for trifle in early
days rose to a value of $2,700,0O0 in
1889. The same lands are today estimat-
ed at $7,500,000. It is very kind OF
the people OF Chicago to confer this added
value to the humble m.llionaire's hold
ings. 1t shows how generous and how
magnanimous the people can be; for
they tax themselves to support the gov
eminent, and thus permit the beneficiary
to collect from his tenants for the service
provided by his fellow citizens. With
out implying any sense OF conscious
guilt on the part of the recipient OF this
million dollar income, it may be
suggested that it is not unlikely that the
mere fact of the situaG on will cause
many a quickening conscience to ask the
question: Can an honest man live on
an unearned income?-The Public.
