A clergyman speaking in his pulpit
recently gave utterance to the often,
repeated declaration that no mar ever
honestly accumulated a million dollars.
His mistake was In neglecting to spec
lily employments. The statement would
perhaps be true that no man ever hon.
estly earned a million dollars laying
bricks, but 1t Is also true hat a mar
could honestly earn a million dollars
by his services in caring for great in
terests worth a hundred millions.
There has been at least one instance in
which q man was paid during a few
years three times a million dollars for
exceptional service in behalf Of vast
pecuniary interests. and not one of the
wise business men most interested,
found fault with this valuation Of the
honest and faithful work he had done.
Bank robbers and highwaymen also
often accumulate vast fortunes.
