He Was Very Rich, but There wss One
Thing He LOnged For.

Thing He Longed For.
The right use Of wealth is text that
suggests many sermons, and the influ-
ence Of wealth upon happiness is almost
as fruitful theme. A story told by the
friends Of an Oregon millionaire goes to
show that, after one has grown accus-
toned to simple way Of life, the pos
session Of fortune may involve only
sorrow and bitterness.
When his silver mines began to yield
more money than he knew how to spend,
MIR. Blanks ambitious wife conceived
the idea of invading society. Washing
ton was chosen as the point of attack.
Land was bought, architect and builder
were set at work and modern palace
rose almost as speedily as Aladdin's.
Then began the struggle to be fash
ionable, an effort in which Mr.. Blank
found himself an unwilling participant.
Balls and receptions bored him. Late
dinners, he found, agreed with neither
his head nor his stomach. Even to please
his daughters, he could not pretend a
cordial friendship for men who talked Of
nothing but lawn tennis and the latest
opeta.
One CLEAN Of pleasure came to the old
prospector when, after year, former
