The Race For the Dollar.
A man by the name of Greedof
wealth arose early in the morning
and set out in the persuit of the dol
lar, determined to catch 1t. The race
was very close one, and the MAJ
soon became so thoroughly absorbed
in it that he almost forgot to min
lister to his own hunger; or that h,
was taxing his strength beyond en-
durance. But the chase after tn
dollar made him equally blind t
the danger and needs of Others
Along the streets were houses i
flames and imperiled human being
were stretching forth their hand
to him imploringly, or other tene
ments were crowded and full G
deadly diseased germs; but he wa
so engrossed with chasing the do
7 lar that he did not see them. o
, the other side lay stretched the VIZ
tim of a street car unprovided wit
a fender, dying for want of ambu
lance, but the man who was chasin
the dollar did not have time to col
slider the responsibility. of stool
holders of which he was, one, or
head a subscription for a hospiti
= fund. Behind him rang the shriel
of helpless victim of brutis
assault, but he was so intent upc
catching the dollar that he could n
consider the question of bett
, municipal government. At last
overlook the dollar, but just as
10 did so he came to the brink of u tie
rible precipice, and his momentu
: was such that he could not stop
utter prayer for himself, or ev,
ar to direct that the dollars he hi
m caught should be used in rebuildil
g his wretched tenement nous,
,e making restitution to those his ca

re- distress. He plunged over, none t
O. richer for having gained the dOlli
r. while the worlu was the poorer
nd the blind greed with which he f
I'm lowed the chase.-Cumberland Pr,
