The purchasing power of money was
elaborated, aud the comforts which could
be obtained Tor It's possesSor.. 1t is said
that the greatest man is he who wants the
fewest things, but that Is all wrong; the
greatest man is the one who wants the most
things and gets them. An animal does not
aspire to accumulate anything, and that is
because he is brute; a man wants every
thing and tries his level best to crafty his
desire, and that is because he is human.
The lecturer then described the advantages
Of being rich from his observations of other
people and the hardship Of being poor from
personal experience. If a man wants to
realize the power of money let him give

THE RULING POWER.
The passion for money is the ruling
power in the world, and in nc other country
Is it greater than in the United States. Men
work for it, strive for il, fight for it and die
for It'll The boundless possibilities offered
in this country under the beneficent in flu

ton, from tailur-shOp to the Office of Presi-
dent of the republic, and these pc ssibilities
are the moving spirit in squirting men on TO
efforts to improve their condition. But a
man may be rich in many other ways than
the possession of money-rich in the love
and confidence of a devoted wife and chill
dren. rich in manly virtues, rich
in the enjoyment of good health,
rich in the possession of clear conscience,
rich in fame, rich in faithl Probably the
last, with fair proportion of this worlds

subject of the afternoon lecture given by
Superintendent Will S. Monroe of Pasa-

panionshp with great writers. Such COM
panlonship, said the speaker, is restful and
refreshing and furnishes something for the
milestone of human thought to grind. Pa

fixes attention, quickens perception,
strengthens memory, arouses imagination,
stimulates feeling and energies the will.
One must select books as he selects his
friends, such as will lead him to nicer dis
elimination of his fellows and to n clearer
recognition OF the good, the beautiful and
the true. History, poetry. fiction. essays
and scientific literature were in turn touched
upon, and the benefits to be derived from
each catalogued. After telling his hearers
with whom to keep company, Mr.. Monroe
told them how to keep company. An efficient
reader needs certain tuols-an atlas, an en-
cyclopedia, dictionary and a note book
he closed his lecture with the story of the
Great Stone Face, illustrating the value of
healthful companloDship and lofty ideals.

gave notice that he would not hold a recep-
ton after the lecture to discuss the subject
with the many ladies in the audience, but
on the contrary, he might pay visit to Del

knows just when to make himself delight
