From the Detroit Free Press: Il
feel that my whole life. my fortune.
my family pride, everything that /
POSSESS worth having, have been built
upon false pretenses." The speaker
was the foremost man in the commun-
ity and he was talking with one Of his
Oldest friends. 81
You know how my road to pros
perity opened. My parents were gone
before knew them. My grandfather
died when was 2. leaving me to a
family that lost NJ opportunity to show
how much Of a burden was. One day
q group Of boys we're going down the
street; stone was thrown, it caromed
on, the pavement. went through a
plate-glass window, the proprietor
came out. the other boys ran, con-
fessed to being the guilty party. my
arm was gripped as II in wise. and
when asked why / had not lied, said
grandad had taught me not to, and,
with tears on my cheeks. I was taken
inside. AS we talked was offered 81
a week to!look after the shop. A little
later in the conversation was to have
room of the workshop, then was
to be boarded, then clothed and then
supplied with books. His wife drew
me to her side, kissed me and said
what brave. good boy had been and
what q noble man I would make -
1--WE heard the story hundred
times
$50 have I, almost every day. For
years my old patron would tell it after
saying that this is my new boy
this is 10Y clerk this is my man
ager,' this Ia my partner and finally,
this is my son-in-law.' My wife made
me hero and loved me from the time
she heard the story. It brought me
friends, credit, sound business advice,
trade, confidence and wealth. 1t made
my children prouder, happier and bet
ter. It will bear fruit in their children,
TOR 1t is the family ideal and tradition"
"But where do the false pretenses
come in?"
wen, must tell some one. l
never threw that stone. I never broke
that window. My tears were not for
grandfather, but were wrung from the
grip on my arm. Like Topsy, was
in state of moral exaltation, and ac-
knowledged wrong never did. I did
wrong through a heroic determination
to always do right. There has never
been time that could confess and
have lived up to my character. I
wouldn't destroy the idol and be
humbled in the dust before my wife
and children for the world. I would
pull moral prop from under them
that may yet stand for ages. Strange
how much of good rests on a false
foundation"
Il wish you had kept your internal
secret"
