Daniel Webster didn't get $3, OOOBatary a year to bo United Rt.ni am senator. His pay was only 16 a day, says Girard in the Evening Telegraph. . That sum is almost forty times as much as Poe received for bis spirited poem, "The Bolls." When President Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark, In 1804 to make the first journey by white men across the country to tbe Pacific. the party started from St. Louis with forty men. That memor able march of 9,000 miles cost 2,500 to fiDatce-$l,400 less than Eddie Collins obtained for bis six ball games. For about twelve hours of play tbe world's series wlnnlrg bal tossers received more than half as much money as was paid to the author of the first great American made dictionary, who toiled lor years over his immense tastf. For these twelve hours of play, their pay was over four times t.hn avftraea salaries of all the preachers in the United States for a whole year. It is considerably above the composite' salary of American college presidents and more than double that of college professors. But high pay for special service a not limited to champion base ball teams. Charlie Chaplin's movie stunts earn a great aeai more for him in a year than any other actor of the world acquir ed on the stage. -It was a topic for the world gossip when a generation ago tbe Rev.
