"DREADFUL TO MAKE A MILLION."
• I Sir William Treloar, one of the moat famous and popular of all the long line of Lord Mayors of the city of London, celebrated his 80th birthday last month; An "Evening News" representatiye found him smiling at his work, and, very clearly, almost the happiest man in the city. i "I've had a happy life,"'he says. "I know that when I die people will all say, 'I thought he would have left more.' But what does that matter? I know I could have been half a millionaire twenty or thirty years ago if I had cared to go in for it. But what is the use? I know millionaires, and they all seem to mc to become melancholy as soon as they become millionaires. It must be a dreadful thing to make a million. I will spend my birthday among the children in the home at Alton. That! has always been my recreation." j
