A Millionaire's Sense of Humor.
By DR. E. j. EDWARDS.

Shortly after DR.. Arthur Twining Hadey be-
came president of Yale university, he was called
upon or took it upon himself to undertake to
raise fund OF million dollars in the hope
that the money could De secured or the sub
scrlptlons made in time 10 celebrate with it the
two hundredth anniversary OF the founding Of
Yale college.
The fund raised, but not until after Dr.
Hadley had almost desDaired of securing it. 1t
was, in fact, due to the late NJ. c. D. Borden,
who for years had been recognized as the great
est manufacturer of American cotton goods and
who undertook to assist President Hadley, that
THE money raised.
Mr.. Borden told me the story in full, but
there was one detail OF it associated with the
late James J. Hill which seems especially ap-
propriate to narrate at this time
Arthur Hadley was having great difficulty
in getting subscriptions for this fund" said Mr..
Borden. Il told him tina: I would take hold of
1T and assured him that within three days I
would secure SIX hundred thousand dollars If
he had six hundred thousand dollars he would
nave no difficulty about getting the balance be-
cause rich men always liked to appear upon a
list at the head OF which stand the names of
several other rich men who have given literally
With one or two friends l went to see James
j. Hill, who CHANGED to be in New York at that
time. We found him at his rooms in the hotel
which he used to make his home when he was
IN New ork. He had been confined to his room
tor two or three days by heavy cold | told
him IN a few words what we wanted him to do,
We wanted him to be one Of six men who
would give a hundred thousand dollars to this
Itund He said he wouldn't give cent told
MIN that we were not going to leave the room
until he put his name do'yn for d hundred thou
sand.
1--WE talked for about an hour and then Mr..
Hill said he would give twenty-five thousand
and | told him that he would give seventy-fve
thousand more than that before we left him. We
talked tor another hour and then he said he
would give nifty thousand dollars And then I
told him we would not leave him until he had
added fifty thousand to it. It was past mid
night when he said All right III make it 4
hundred thousand And he put his name down
for that amount
One OF my friends asked me when we wer,
going away why Mr.. Hill had stood out so lc,g,
ana replied that I knew the instant I made
the proposition to him that he would give the
money, but he wanted to make US work for it
He was having fun with US"
1t was an interesting circumstance that the
two Hardness brothers-who died recentlv-
joined in a subscription of a hundred thousand
dollars to this Yale fund, the same day tha.
Mr.. Hill subscribed like amount, and Mr. Hill
survived them by only few days

Women Perform War Tasks

The war has developed an astonish-

women. Those who had devoted them
selves to society, to home life or to
church work came forward at the very

The ragged remnants" of the Progressive
party is the way in which an editorial in yester-
days issue Of the Suffragist, official organ Of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, refers
to what is left OF that political organization The
Sufragist questions why the political leaders OF
the other parties "are all so anxiously concern
ing themselves" about this dwindling vote, while
they discount source of strength very much
more important to them, namely, the votes Of the
women IN the twelve suffrage States.
Everybody knows" says the editorial "that
women contributed fully as much as men to the
huge Progressive vote polled in 1912 Womeo
not only voted for the Progressive party in
large numbers in the equal suffrage States, but
worked voluntarily for it all over the country"

The ordinary provisions OF hospital
service have shown defect through re-
cent experiences in the Mexican cam
paign. 1t has become apparent that
many Of the sick and injured find re-
clining position in the suspended ltters
of the army ambulances almost unen-
durable. particularly over long and tedi-
Gus journeys. The alternative OF sitting
upright on the side seats Of the am
bulance is also very exhausting.
For this reason, a tentative sugges-
ton has been made that the medical de-
partment OF the army procure a number
OF ordinary commercial touring cars OF
seven-p passenger capacity for the carrying
OF patients under conditions where the
regular army ambulance is not suitable
a full consideration of this suggestion
would seem 10 indicate that this plan is
