To BECOME A MIrLIoNAIRE.--You must
be very able, as nearly all the millionaires
aIc.
You must devote yourself to the getting
and keeping of other mems earnings.
You must eat the bread of carefulness
and must rise up early and lie down late.
You must calo little or nothing about
other men wants and sutferings, or dis
appointment.
You must not mind it that your great
wealth involves many others III poverty.
You must not give away except for a
material equivalent.
You must not go meandering about
Nature, nor spend your time enjoying air,
earth, sky, OF water, for there's 10 money
in it.
You must never embark i'll any enter
prise that will build up the place you live
in, but wait until the public spirited men
have built railroads, etc, then buy the
stock at a discount.
You must make money your god, inter
est your faith, and large possessions the
heavens you covet. And when dying give
"A few peuuies to heaven.
You must not distract your thoughts
from the great purpose of your life with
the charms of art and literature.
You must not let philosophy or religion

You must not allow your wife and chill
dreu to occupy much of your valuable time
and thoughts.
You must never permit fascination OF
friendships to inveigle you into making
loans, however small.
You must abandon all other ambitions
of purpose !; and. finally
1ou must be prepared TO sacrifice ease
and all fanciful notions you have abou
tastes and luxuries aud eujoyments during
most, if no. all, of your natural lie.
If you think the game is worth the
candle, you can die rich at least some o
you can.

while DR.. Smart vas pcacabIy putting away
his usual morning nou1ishment. he was
startled by lo0d rapping a. his door and the
unwelcome announcement that his house
was on fire. The brakeman from the train
had noticed it as he came in, jumped off and
gave the warming. Upon going to the back
part of the house they discovered that the
kitchen roof was in flames. It had caught
from the pipe and burned through the lath
and plastering. Ey an immediate applica-

pushed. If 1t mad not been for the prompt
