Pierpont Morgan makes his boast that he never has been inter­ viewed, and declares that in the last seven years but one interviewer ever has been able to approach him. This was on a recent trip to Europe when a representative of the London Times would not take “No” for his f.nsiver. “Tell The Times man ray time is worth £10 a minute,” at last said Morgan. “The Times man says he’ll take two minutes at that,” came back the reply. The interviewer handed Mr. Mor­ gan £20, talked just two minutes by both their watches, did all the talk­ ing himself and rose to go on the ins tant. “ Why did you w a n t t o see m e ? ” Morgan asked in curiosity. “Oh, I wagered £100 that I would interview you personally; that’s all,” was his reply. Morgan congratulated him on his enterprise, and dismissed him with­ in the third minute of his call. When asked the other day if he kept the £20, Morgan said, “Yes, and I haven’t earned money in a long time that gave me the satisfac­ tion that £20 did.” N O I.

The “gillies” thnt were a feature of Queen Victoria’s household have been retailed bv the king. These servants have always been noted for their faithfulness of service and frankness of speech. Recently the king, exhausted by a long day’s work, ordered some light refresh­ ment, which was brought by a “gil­ lie”—one Macdonald. “I think I’d like to chango places with you, Macdonald,” said the king, with a smile. “A n n daurin’ tac theenk, your mawjusty,” replied the honest Scot, “that it takes an unco guid mon tae he aye a gullic.” “Do you mean that I’m not ‘guid’ enough ?” “Aw’ll no snv that,” answered the undaunted Mac, “but awm makin’ hold tae tell your mawjusty that you’d hauv a hitter lot tae learn.” “You’re right, Macdonald,” was the smiling response. “Some kings are made, hut clever gillies are horn, not made.’'—London Mail.
