Two Minutes of Optimism
By HERMAN J. STICII
IF YOU WERE LEFT A MILLION
vF COUHSE, you think It impossible, and perhaps a foollsn wnsto of valunble
J time to even tlilnK or it, tiiouju strrngei- t nines nave nappencu, yet -It
somebody left you a million dollars, wlint would you do?
fift ud a beautiful gpeech telling the bosa exactly where he go off?
Hire a couple of roughnecks to polish properly tho persons against whom
jou have been nursing a special grudge?
Olre a scries of "blowouts," maybe, to the "boys" and the "girls," sink
small fortune in a yacht and a few automobile1, do the town red or brown to a
turn?
Or
Would you do what Charles Garland, of Iloston, did the other day when
he learned he was entitled to his Bhftre of his father's largo estate a cool, round
million dollars.
Though he has a wife and Infant daughter to support, he says both his wife
nd be prefer lWlng on what he can earn to a life of unearned luxury, leisure
or philanthropy.
What tho baby daughter will opine when she I old enough to think for her
self ii n matter open to speculation; but If we arc to judge by what the' rest
of the, family has dono, there may not be such a serious clash of conclusions
after an.
For this indifference toward tho "root of nil evil" seems to flow In the
blood of the Gnrnnd strain. Some years ago Charles norland's mother, by
carrying the man sho loved, forfeited her claim to the Gnrland millions.
And his brother .Tames, who also is entitled to a million, is planning to
btcome an automobile mechanic.
The Garlands will simply have none of it!
"Money is the cause of unrest and unhnpnincss," declares Mother Garland
"I didn't do anything to earn the money," says Charles. "I bclleVe that
(n declining, to take it I am placing my life upon a Christian basis."
"So much money would Just sap the meaning and the joy from life," is
James' idea, "l preter.to go to worn."
There you have them the three Garlands their rontemnt for the "fllthv
mere" and whnt, no matter which way you look at It, is more important, their
moral strength uaexoone npu courage or conviction.
Most of us will think, and justifiably, that this rcnnnclntion of n million
dollars, and with it the wonderful opportunity to do untold good Is eccentric or
worse.
Perhaps some of us feel about money the same as the Garlands do but If
ionxbody left us a million we hesitate to mention tho proportion of instances
tn which It would be a case of "Do ns I think, don't do nn I dn!"
That is one reason why, npprove or dlsapprove'as we may of their course
of action, everybody's hnt goes off to them mother and sons for they have
done wnnt mom oi us coum not or woum not no. wnat HDD peple out of 1000
who share their views merely believe in they acted. They could have had
wytning, mil Dccause tncy uiu not earn it they will accept nothing.
There Is one other thought this incident brings to mind :
If foremen, office managers, executives and others who have people working
"under" them made this idea one of their guiding principles thnt is, if they
refused to accept encomiums to which they nre not entitled and insisted upon
jiving credit where credit Is due, It would develop that n good many of the great
inventions, scientific discoveries, money-making ideas and general Improvements
that have advanced Industry, the professions and sciences emanated from the
brains of "underdogs" and unknowns fighting the great uphill fight for rccog
iition. There would be more widespread contentment and satisfaction If there were
Ins inferior "superiors."

of tho bush In which it hnd stopped.
The wintry wind cnUght tho sail und

"Whoo I Whoo ! Too ! Too t" screeched
Judge Owl In alarm. "Whoo I Whoo I
This la faster than I like to go. We
will hit somo one and smash them to
bits!"
"We will not hit any ono whllo you
screech that way," chuckled Dllly. "Keep
en screeching I You make n fine whistle
to scare folks out of our path "
"Whco! Whoo! We aro ftylne so
swiftly we will fly right past the homo
of Marigold, tho dancing kitchen maid I"
warned Judge Owl. She lives In n
fine big country houso with trees all
around It."
By th a time they were speeding over

tway wan u Inrge country house with
trees a I around It. Bl.ly steered the

hao stopped the s'ed at the fiont door
had not Judgo Owl hooted for him to go
arcuna inc bacit way.
"Whoo ! Whoo ! Marigold, tho dancing
kitchen maid lives in the kitchen !" said
Judge Owl. So Billy steered around to
the hack door. "C.lmb to tho window
and .sou can see Marigold, the dancing
kitchen maid," mumb ed Judgo Owl.
1'eBgy nnd Billy did as he sulci, cllmb
lnr upon a box that stood outaido the
window, whl'o Judrjo Owl perched on Uie
branch of a trte. Within tho kltthen
was a girl just finishing the washing
of the dinner dishes The girl was sweet
of face, but her clothes were old and
worn Sho looked very poor.
A the girl curr.ed tho dishes to the
cupboard, she danced lightly and grace
fu lj to the tune of a llttlo song she
hummed to herself. Peggy and Billy
knew then 'why Judgo Owl called her
the dancing kitchen maid.
"My work Is done," sang Marigold,
putting away the Inst dish. "Now I
can protend that I am going to the
fancy drms ball of Ned, the handscmo
young millionaire, there to dance my
way into his heart and win lily true
ot"
Judfc'o Owl shuffled and fluttered on
nln perch. In the tree. "Oh, It's too bad !
She isn't uolng to the ball sho Is only
going to pretend sho Is going." MarlgJlt
apticed aay Into another room, and,
nll ehe was gone, Judge Owl whis
pered to l'eggy nnd Billy as much of
her ftory as ho knew.
"Marigold Is an orphan," ho said.
Onco she had a comfortable, happy
homo, but her father and mother died,
and Marigold had to go out to work.
That Is why she Is now the kitchen ma d
oi nuugmy Mrulum Proud, and the
senum of Madam Proud's two selfish
col(" eyed daughters, C.arabello and An

At that moment a radiant young girl
flanced out of the room Into which Marl- .

To i Editor o iraman't rood
Dear Madam Would bo very much
obliged to you If you would answer
these questions as soon as possible.
How can I remove an Ink stain from
n flesh-color georgoito waist?
How can I clean a vory fine velvet
dress? A CONSTANT ItEADEIt.
Mavo you tried soap and water for
this? Sometimes this will romove Ink
stains. If It does not remove them, rub
lard on them and work It about gently
so that the fibers will not be torn. You
cannot use the usual Ink removers on
georgette crepe for It Is so delicate that
anything strong will Injure It.
You would havo to steam the velvet
dress to clean It, and the easiest way
to do this would ho to hang It over the
bathtub nnd turn on the water until the
steam reaches It. Then brush It all
over with a soft brush and let It dry,
hanging where nothing cart touch It. If
this Is not satisfactory send It to a pro.
