Million for a Servant.
Mr John Farson, a Chicago banker, has offered a million dollars for a domestic servant. She must stay in his family till lie dies, must not discuss family affairs with other servants, must always be dignified, know at a glance the likes and dislikes of the guests, be a good nurse, cook, and dressmaker, and never make an error on her table service The million dollars are made payable at Mr Farson’s death to the perfect servant by express stipulation in a codicil to his will. London registry offices think that the clause that the servant must never discuss family affairs with other servants makes a bargain impossible. .
