cate OF mining stock as was ever print
ed, and the only thing they will evel
get out of the investment is the aforesaid
illuminated Autograph. They are al
ways on the verge of millionairedon
and are sometimes worried as to whom
they shall bequeath their excess of for
tune. They invest in aerial machine,
or new inventions in perpetual mott on
and they succeed in what mathemati
clans think impossible, the squaring OF
circle, for they do everything on the
square and win the whole circle of dis.
appointment. They are good honest,
brilliant failures. They die poor, and
leave nothing to their families but a
model OF some invention that would not
work and whole portfolios of diagrams
of things impossible. l cannot help
but like them, because they are SC
cheerful with great expectations. But
their children are bequest to the bu-
reau of city charities. Others admin
lister to the crop Of the worlds misfor-
tune by being too unsuspecting. Honest
themselves, they believe all others are
honest. They are feeced and scalped
and vivisected by the sharpers in all
styles OF business and cheated out of
everything between cradle and grave,
and those two exceptions only because
they have nothing to do in buying
either of them. Others are retained for
misfortune by inopportune sickness.
just as that lawyer was to make the
plea that would have put him among
the strong men of the profession, neu-
ralgia stung him. Just as that physi-
clan was to prove his skill in an cpl
demic, his own poor health imprisoned
him. Just as that merchant must be
at the store for some decisive and intro
ductory bargain, he sits with a rheu-
matte joint on pillow, the room redol-
emit with liniment. What an over
whelming statistic would be the story
of men and women and children i'm
poverished by sicknesses! Then the cy-
clones. Then the Mississippi and Ohio
freshets. Then the stopping of the
factories. Then the curculios among
the peach trees. Then the insectile
devastation of potato patches and wheat
fields. Then the epizootics among the
horses and the hollow horn among the
herds. Then the rains that drown out
everything and the droughts that burn
up half continent. Then the orange
groves die under the white teeth of
the hoar fro Then the coal strikes,
and the irol strikes, and the me-
chanics' stlI.ies, which all strike
labor harder than they strike capital.
Then the yellow fever at Brunswick and
Jacksonville and Shreveport. Then
the cholera at the Narrows, threatening
to land in New York. Then the Charles
ton earthquake. Then the Johnstown
food. Then hurricanes sweeping from
Caribbean sea to Newfoundland. Then
there are the great monopolies that gull
ley the earth with their expressions.
Then there are the necessities of buying
coal by the scuttle instead of the ton,
and -four by the pound instead of the
barrel, and SO the injustices are multi =
piled. In the wake of all these are over
illustrations of the truth of
my text, "Ye have the poor always
with you"
CELESTIAL INSURANCE.
Remember fact that no one empha

Of tonnage-that the best way of insur-

grandchildren against poverty and all
other troubles is by helping others. l
