MILLIONAIRE'S ADVICE.
The will of the late Mr. James M. Carpenter, filed for probate in St. Louis, U.S.A., besides bequeathing to his children the bulk of his estate, worth 2,000,000 dollars, leaves them also some paternal advice and the rule of life, which, the testator and parent says, was the mainspring of his success.
