MILLIONS NOT EVERYTHING

TF I had a million dollars. I wouldn't
have care in the world
Many of Us have heard the expression
and have perhaps used 1t ourselves. 4
million dollars? Possession of that much
would wipe out all our trouble. To be
able to muster up several million would
be even better and as for multi-millions
the man who is so fortunate Is indeed
to be envied.
Is he, though? In the past three days
we have heard of two men. each worth
many millions, who were not made COM
pletely happy by their wealth. Each of
them reached point where life became
terrible thing and they sought way out
by means of a self-administered bullet.
To Ivar Kreuger, head OF the great
Swedish match trust, whose word was
listened to all over the world, this came
at the prime of his life. From an hum
BILE workman he rose by means of his
own ability TO the point where he loaned
millions to governments to enable them
to remain governments. He had all that
man apparently could wish for, yet he
was minus something that wealth could
not supply. Ill-health IS given as the
cause of his act Perhaps it was, per-
haps it is just a convenient eXplana-
tion.
George Eastman likewise had risen
from poverty to riches, and in his old
age was considered happy philanthropy
ist. His cameras brought him millions
upon millions. He too lacked something.
His philanthropies and good works in
dicate that he did not worship his mil
lions as he would a god. He tried to do
rood with them and in this he succeeded.
Even his inventions brought happiness
into the lives of others. But his own
was also minus something. Again i'll
health is given as the reason for his act.
1t is perhaps as good an explanation as
any other.
If i'll health was really the reasons for
these two tragedies, how fortunate is he
who enjoys every breath that he breathes
as the result of good constitution. He
is rich beyond any gold millions that can
be piled up.
Money is not everything. There are
things even in this world that money
cannot buy. Good health and content
ment, for instance, are two pearls be-
yond the purchasing ability of the COM
bined Kreuger and Eastman millions.
Those who possess them have riches be-
yond computation.

himself stood in the doorway to
welcome the animal children
Come in! Come I'M" cried
Uncle Wiggily in his jolly voice.
welcome to Baby Bunty's molasses
candy party!'
"Ch, yes, do come inl" cried
Baby Bunty herself. And when
Jackie and Peetie arrived, each
one wearing a new collar, orna-
mented with brass, the little or
phan was especially glad to see
them.
why do yau call it a molasses
candy party?" asked Jackie.
Because we are going to eat
chunks of soft, sticky molasses
candy" answered Bunty with a
laugh.
That's a very good reason. >
barked Peetie.
After the animal children had
played some games like dig up q
bone, find the chestnuts, look for
the saucer of milk and find the
chicken corn, Bunty called:
"All ready for the molasses
candy!" Nurse Jane, Uncle Wiggily
and Mrs. Longears passed the
sweet stuff around on plates and
all of the children took some.
Then, all of sudden, Jackie
barked:
"Oh, look at my brother. He has
lost his bite"
Lost his bite What do you
mean?" asked Uncle Wiggily. y

Jackie, when you had sore throat,
but how could Peetie lose his bite?"
We'll he has, just the some
Look at him." said Jackie. And,
surely enough, when Uncle Wig
gily looked at Peetie that little
puppy dog boy couldn't open his
mouth. Though he tried and tried,
Peetie's jaws were stuck together
and he could not open them. And
you know, as well as I do, that if
dog can't open his mouth he
can't bite or eat anything.
"Oh, this is dreadful" whined
Jackie. "Peetie has lost his biter'
Then Uncle Wiggily laughed and
said: Don't be silly! I see what
has happened. Peetie bit too hard
on a soft piece CT molasses candy
and his jaws are stuck together.
AS soon as the candy melts he can
open his mouth and bite as well
as ever"
Surely enough, this happened
When he had let the candy melt
in his warm mouth, Peetie at last
could open his jaws and bite. But
I am glad to say he bit no one
at the party. And he was careful
to hew no more large pieces Of
sticky molasses candy. So the
party went on and every one had
a lovely time.

THE GAME IS UP


DEPORT of a senate subcommittee yes
~ terday on the validity of land grants
IN Southern California put finish to a
genteel racket which has flOurished in
this state for number of years. bring
ing no small amount Of profit to q group
of sharperS and causing considerable loss
to those who have been gullible enough
to listen to their claims.
Particularly around Los Angeles, this
game has been going on with little or
no hindrance. People with little
money to invest were told that they had
4 right to settle on land embraced in old
Spanish or Mexican grants, and in many
cases moved in as "squatters', under the
belief that they were within their rights
and either would have to be bought off
by those claiming the land, or would
share in its distribution when the pro
moters' succeeded in getting a clear title
to it.
Others were induced to give money to
the promoters, with the promise that
eventually the land would be declared
public domain" and the investors would
reap rich rewards on the investment.
The promoters worked skillfully
and usually warned the investor not to
investigate through the United States
public land office, the one place where
the investor would find out the real
truth. They surrounded their operations
with an air of secrecy, not only to protect
themselves but to impress the investor,
who was usually led to believe he was
being let in on something good and that
to give it publicity would spoil every
thing.
In very decisive language, the senate
committee, composed of senator's from
all parts of the country, upheld the
validity of the land titles and declared
there is no truth to the widely spread
report that the lands were illegally held
by their present owners.
With this firm foundation to go on, it
would appear that the government has
a little more work to do in rounding up
the promoter" and dealing with them
as they should have been dealt with long
ago.

Peetie.

barked Peetie, because you are

ROCHESTER, N. Y, September 10
The interest Of the late George Eastman
in the movement to establish the 13-
month calendar, which he financially
assisted for eight years prior to his
death, will be carried on with funds
provided from his estate by the Univer-
sity of Rochester, chief beneficiary, in
accordance with his wishes. This was
learned today at the Rochester office Of
the International Fixed Calendar
League, Of which Mr.. Eastman was pres
ident.
Plans which Mr.. Eastman had out
lined for the activities Of the league
In the United States and abroad are
being followed under the direction Of
M B. Cotsworth, whose headquarters
are in London, with M. N. Stiles as
American Secretary at Rochester.
1t was Mr.. Cotsworth, known as "the
father Of the 13-month calendar" who
originally interested Mr.. Eastman IN
the calendar reform movement.
The league at present Is undertaking
an international census OF businesses
using the 13-period calendar. The re-
turnsto date show that in this country
and Canada 302 large manufacturing,
merchandising, chain store, hotels and
publishing companies have gone on the
l3 months basis, and that more are pre-
pairing to do so on January !, 1888.
