Last year Christy came to me and told me of an offer that had been made to him to lend his name to a big Broadway amusement place a drinking and dancing place just to let it be called The Christy Mathewson and to appear there for five or ten minutes once or twice a week. Great pressure was put on him. The temptation was thousands of dollars a year. I, altho I was sure of him. So you see Christy knows there is something in the world worth more than money.
Money can cost too much.
A play was written for Christy. It was very successful. When he had finished his contract he was offered another and a better one this is, more money. Jane, Christy's wife, said that all the money in the world would not pay to have her husband away from his home all the time. That is the spirit that makes for a home and home life.
