Bob lngersoll, in recent speech, said /:
AS a rule, wealth is the result Of indus.
try, economy, and attention to business /;
and, as a rule, poverty is the result of
ldlencss, extravaganza, and inattentiOn
to business, though to these rules there
are thousands of exceptions. The man
who. has wasted his time, who has thrown
away his opportunities, is apt to envy
the man who has not. For instance here
are six shoemakers working in one shop.
One OF them attends to business you can
hear the music of his hammer early and
late; he is in love, it may be, with some
girl on the next street, he has made up
his mind to be 4 man, to succeed, to make
somebody else happy. to have home,
and while he is working, in his imagina>
tion, he can see his own fire<ide with the
light falling upon the faces of wife and
child. The other five gentle en- work
as little as they can, spend Sunday in
dissipation, have the headache on Mon.
day, and, rs result, never advance. The
industrious one, the one that is in love,
gains the confidence of his employer,
and in little while he cuts out work
for these other fellows The first thing
you know he has shop of his own, the
next store, because the man of reputa.
ton, the man of character, the man of
known integrity, can buy all he wishes
in the United States upon credit. The
next thing you know he is married, and
has built him a house, and he is happy
and his dream has been realized After
a while the same five shOemakers, having
pursued the same old course, stand on
the carner some Sunday when he rides
by. He has got carriage his wife sits
by his side, her face covered with smiles,
and they have got two children, their
faces beaming with joy. and the blue
ribbons flut'ering in the wind. And
thereupon these five shoemakers adjourn
10 some neighboring saloon and pass
that there is an irrcpressible
conflict between capital and labor.

and she didn't wait to reach home be-
fore breaking the envelope. Rushing
to one of the windows she tore one end
of the envelope of, hunted through the
four-paged letter for greenbAcks, and
her countenance fell exactly eight inches
by the government guage as she didn't
find any. She seemed about to tear the
letter into shreds. but female curiosity
never defeats itself that way. Turning
to the letter she read
"My darling. this is my fifth letter to
you within week. enclose-"
Here she looked the letter over, peer
ed into the envelope, and then care
fully searched the floor, but she didn't
find it. Turning to the letter she
read:
~ inclose-my love-my undying
affections"
1t was all she could do to restrain her
desire to tear the letter from the big
al" at the upper left-hand corner
down to the word darling" at the lower
right hand corner, but she suddenly saw
something that made her almost smile.
1t was a paragraph beginning:
