Who is this Woodworking man? This
is the millionaire, the man who wanted
to be rich and has got rich, and is get
ting richer every day. Is he the hap
pier for it? Happy? Bless your soul,
he's more miserable, fuller of cares
and anxieties and harder worked than
ever. He is the veriest slave of them
all. He is pushed with business and
business is pushing him. He has so
many irons in the fire that some of them
are burning his fingers while others are
getting cold. His present life is rush
from the meeting of this board to that
board and thence to some other board.
He is director in this company and
trustee in that and silent partner in
another, world without end, and more
coming. He hasn't time to eat and
hardly to sleep, and when he does lay
his poor head on the pillow he can t
stop business plans and schemes, hopes
and fears from whirIing and whirring
through it. He cane take day TO
spend in quiet out of town, and if he
could he would take all of his business
with him into the woods. He is slave
and victim His millions in bank
don't bring him so much enjoyment as
does new ten-cent piece given to q

the mania for getting, and the more he
gets the more he wants If YOU could
