MILLION DOLL
What Would You do"
ii' You
Mrs. W. II. l\It..i)
Just suppose y.iur income wan :\
million dollars a month, what would
you do ?itii it? lt J s said that Sena
tor Clark, of Montana, owns propcr
ties whieii rot nu 1.?:J? twelve million
: f dollars every twelve months-a
million ii. i.tliiy. Tl. collect those
rent* . r revenues he must have clerks
galore to direct his letters ami \
swor inquiries. Ilia senatur?a/ duties
occupy une set of clerks iud corres
pondence, but \iia Jinancial duties
kecp3 another Lurcau hard ut work
every worfciug day i" the week, m .nth
and year.
ile is said tH \<v a widower with two
children both married and set up in
splendor for themselves, while thc
senator himself occupies a fine house
in Washington city and work- every
day at his correspondence like he did |
before he secured a minion a month
for bi.- spending money, indeed l??ng
before be ever owned a million for
any purpose whatsoever.
What be bothers with polities for I
can't imagine, when he can spend his j
mouey and live at case on any part of
thc globe that he chooses, and see all
that is to be seen in two hemispheres, '
if he wants to, and ride in any eort of
conveyance t ii at has been invented j
and buy any sort of victuals, drink or
fruit that the world affords and still ?
have .street car fare in his ?lockets. ?
Thc life of politicians in Washington :
has a gilded .?ide to thc shield but the ,
other side is very dark gray metal you
maybe sure. When they try to get j
there they race themselves to exhaus
tion in money, if not character, vety
often and when they ?lo get there gen- ;
erally they are scared at every twig
that craeks in thc pith fearful that
something will chouse them out ? f the
position and they spend their waking
hours trying to enjoy their greatness,
which is all the time clouded over by
the knowledge that somebody at
home, maybe several somebodvs are
laying pipe for the very place which
they cling to like it was their very
hope of salvation. If they are poor
and honest, they can live in decent
comfort, but if sue!; people spread
abroad their phylacteris there must be
more money than ihe law allows to
such a spread on their salaries?. Now,
why should a man whose income is
$250,000 u week and over $30,000 a
day trouble himself to occupy a scat
in the seuate chamber along with a
whole lot of folks who are not built
his way, and who arc sometimes in
such a strain financially that their
party friends must club in to raise
enough cash to keep the hniiiti quiet?
The time has been wheu such cliorts
were made to relieve an extravagant
United States Senator, and less than
a quarter ot a century ago to my owu
knowledge. In the name of peace
and decent living, why should a rich
man like Senator Clark care to tussle
and whirl around in such a strenuous
PROFIT
The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most miU, his pigs to get
the most pork, his liens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh aad muscle food if they
arc thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia ?
Scott's Emulsion is a mixed
food; the God Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone

J Cad it:>
io Atlanta Journal,
play aa this, 1 can't understand, uu*
lesa he in like thc bo> who tooW a
swallow of "sheen saffron tea," just
to know how it tasted,.
Yea, J know it is ambition that
pushes sonic foiVs into ??, but ninety
liundrcdfcbi go into politics for the
?ijuoy t1i.it M made out of it; there
fore, the wund? r is why an extremely
rich m ?-j should enjoy tho company
uiiil association of several djzen other
poorer men who are pulling for thc
money und what the money brings to
them, i.i various perquisite*.
Senator Clark had a terrific contest
to get the place in the senate. There
are said to bc between ten ami twelve
thousand dollars in cash still hung up
in Montana like Mahomet's collin. A
legislator said he was offered the bribe
to vote, but nobody could pin it to
Senator Clark, wh > claimed that an
enemy had attempted to charge it up
to him, to secure hi> defeat. Nobody
is brave or bold enough to claim the
bribe money that was laid on the
speaker's desk, so it may go'like
saloon license money goes in Georgia
to educate tho children in thc lapse of
years.
Senator Clark is an extremely polite
and obliging gentleman. A friend of
mine wrote lo him a few years atm for
some advice as to mining properties in
which thc senator had no interest then
or prospectively. The letter ca'ight
up with him in Caris, but heansv.rcd
it. with care, with attention sud most
respectful explanation. Ile is a man
of method as well as of luck and ener
by. Kvcything he touches prospers
financially, and perhaps hu uses thc
senate like children usc a top, for
wholesome diversion.
Hut the question 1-: What would
you ?lo with a million a month if you
had it? As my pencil travels over
thc scratch pad tonight the wintry
wind roars around nur dwelling and
makes thc blinds rattle and blows
pulls of .-moke down thc chimney, lt
is cold and raw and bitter wind with
rain, as it moans at the casements and
sweeps in wild fury over the bare
li e Kl st and brings hard weather with it.
If I had a million a month (as I feel
tonight) I'd build & wood shed in
every poor, faithful woman's back
yard und see she hal fuel to burn the
rest of this hard winter, to keep her
mind easy. If I had a milliou a
month I'd put warm blaukets ou every
poor old sick person's bcd tonight-,
within my reach and some warm cloth
es on their shivering bodies io thc |
morning.
If I had a million a month I'd build
a home in the nearest towu where
poor, well-raised, good, true women
might go, aud live in comfort until
death takes them out of life, becauso
of all the pitiful things wo behold,
it ?s the suffering of the aged who
have outlived their health and energy
with nobody to care for their comfort
and happiness.
In the morning if I had a million a
mouth I'd do a good many things for
my own comfort, I expect, but I don't
think I'd bother with politics.

Can Furn Negro White.
Philadelphia, December 18.-Dr.
Ienry K. Pancoast, the univer.-ity
(.ray specialist and skiographcr, dis
ovored that thc ooutinued use of the
v ra'ys on colored patients produces a
radual change in the shade of the
kin, and that in time it becomes cn
irely white. Thc discovory was
aade while treating a colored man for
disease known as lupus, which had of
ectcd thc patient's nose aud a part of
he face.
It was fouud that after the treat
ment had bc:n continued daily for
vera month the skin on the affected
art had become entirely white. In
ome way thc pigment of thc skin had
cen destroyed nod the change t>zz?r
d to bo permanent. As the patient
fas of the darkest hue, thc contrast
0 thc other portions of the face, thc
olor of which had remained unchaug
d, was decidedly markuu. Exped
ients on other persons seemed to
rovo that the same result was pro
uocd and although no such trial was
lade it is thought likely that in time
he enti.o skin of a oolored person
ould be so aoted upon.
During the summer Dr. Pancoast
ontinued his researches along this
nd other lines. This fall the colored
ian returned to thc hospital for eoui
Iction of thc treatment, and it was
elided to make an attempt to restore
he whitened skin to the original con
ition. Local applications of a heal
ng nature and 'tonics proved of no
ene?t and experiment was then beguu
7ith the different light rays.
It was decided to uso thc mys of a
'inson light, as this would both bene
t the disease and also, it was thought,
light restore the original color. At
rst the .change was very slight. In
act. so- *** treatments were mado be
ore th eu is any change at all. Then
gradual darkening of the skin was
oticed, and * this has been gradually
Dcroaaed till now the skin is of a dis
inot brownish tint, and it is thought
0 be only a matter of time till it is re
tored to the original shade.
Just how the rays have accomplish
d this result is not as yet clear, but
1 ie thought it has been done by a
eneral toning up of the akin and re
toring it to a more normal condition,
hus giving a better chance for tho
eplaoement of the destroyed tissue.

"No, indeed," 1 said quickly.

Tim Mill:
Sir: Why is not the mule r<pre
seo tel at the Horse Sh ow this year?
The Missouri mule may not be very
aristocratic or beautiful, hut he rep
resents four-legged prosperity in time
of war; and iti peace he gets to the
front every tiiue.
I love the mule. I admire his
Bobriety, patience, endurance and
sure-footedness; his vigor, strength
and courage. Therefore I miss the
mule at the Horse Show. I misa the
music of mule and hinuy, and I would
call consideration to a very curious
circumstance pertaioing to the voice
of tho mule and the hiuny.
The mule brays, while the hin ny
neighs. The why and wherefor of
this is mystery until we eom ; to
apply the knowledge afforded us by
the physiology of breeding, in which
we deduce from observation and phy
siological facts the rule that the male
give? the locomotive, the female the
vit.'il organs of the offspring.
Tho mule has the muscular struc
ture of its sir*', the ass; the binny has
the muscular structure of its sire, 'he
horse. The organs of voice in th?
former are those of its sire, thc ass;
hence it brays. The organs of voice
of th? latter are those of its sire, the
horse; hence it neighs.
Not only is a curious .natural prob
lem thus solved by the application of
the law, but the law is also strength
ened and confirmed in a manner which
we should little expect.
Never till I came to note these dif
ferences and reflect y pen them did I
dream that a peculiarity of voice in au
animal was to give me corroboration
of my views on Ireeding. - W. B.
