Could, you not come home and spend
YOUR vacation where there's nanght 10
make airaid-where we will give you
YOUR ylctuals and exercise for nothing?
There with the wealthy, as you say,
you have to spend some money to keep
up your end OF the business. or course,
II they ask you what you'll have, Ia
like to have you ask them what they'll
have. But now, honest, don't IL look
kind of scandalous for me and your
mother to be here, year In and year out,
eating plain victuals and wearing out
YOUR old clothes while you are having
a sort Of hltey-titey time OF 1t with the
wealthy Naturally you are a good,
solid boy, and not bad looking nor bad
behaved, and you've got good blood too.
What mean by that Is that you've
got no inherited traits whatever. Your
father never took glass OF LIQUOR Till
he was one and twenty, and then pure
ly by accident, and your mothers folks
are all abstainers. never see such
moral people as they are. They never
use tobacco In any form, and the only
three times that / have taken liquor
myself was when you was born, when
peace was declared IN 1865, and when
Sullivan was drugged by Coroett and
then drug out Of the ring by the heels.
I've had to take year TO convince your
mothers folks that was not continual
ly under the influence OF rum.
Your mothers family Is so good that
they'd be real good " they didn't know
they was so blamed good.
But YOU must not try TO be so good
as they are. / have been happier and
better since gave 1t up. One day
great Joy came to me. A voice said In
side of me: "Be OF good cheer. You
cannot be so good as your wife's folks.
No man was ever so good as his wires
folks. Give 1t up. 1t will drive you 70
drink. Do the best you can, and verify
YOU will be surprised" Soa great wad
Of peace seemed to settle down on me,
and am indeed blessed.
All our folks, though, have been
pIain, honest, hand-to-mouth people.
You are the first one to go to college
and End out the weak places In the
Scriptures
You are the smartest young man that
we have seen In many OF our nonoto-
nous generations, and knew more about
things when you was freshman than
any one ia the whole history OF our
race, including your mothers folks, Tor
quite a bunch OF centuries. For 1000
wears we have called the whale bsh 10
our family. though there we're three
generations OF whalers on my SIDE and
two on your mothers that didnt know
any better.
You speak 10 your letter OF two mat
teFs that are bothering you-hrst, the
love OF q VERY beautiful girl, whose
daguerreotype you inclose. and, second,
the need Of s65 to buy arowing machine
with.
POSSIBLY Il would be as well to refer
to the money matter hrst.
Won have always been frank with me,
Henry. especially about money matters.
That has made me hustle more than l
otherwise would have done. So will
he frank with you. II you can get
,Iong without the rowing machine, !
wish you would. / make no bones OF
telling you that times was never scarcer
than At present.
Bank after bank departs.

every possible way. Last winter west
without an oyercoat ADD wore your
sweater 70 church. This summer I've
worn your tennis cap when ] went out
anywhere. and Il Is not always sppro-

Ior's coffin when ] was pail bearer

for my boy in order that be can get re-

Ths question Of finance have studied
what time I've had this summer. and
IT'S the fact that unless can issue sill
YER certificates, payable In one, two,
three and four years, your rowing ma
