On the dressing table lay his rszors
a slight movement of his hand and all
would be over. He laughed little
scornfully and threw himself into a

worth the trouble of ending in th at

that sort of thing nowadays, Physica al
pain? Perhaps, yes. But nothing
else.

Are we not entirely too fast? Is
speed to be the end of oar efforts, or
only means to something vastly bet
ter? 1t is well to do work quickly.
But is it so if we are only to keep on

not through boOms and deals and rec
ord breaking alone that the kingdom
of heaven is to come to man. If in
crease of speed enables us to achieve
more in IL given space of time it should
also enable us to have more leisure for
the enjoyment of that which we have
achieved. If it mean more wealth 1t

also mean more pay.

Just then the girl came through the

as she saw Elliott at the window she
looked up and smiled.
If a thunderbOlt had fallen out of

When a millionaire dies in these lat
ter days people who hear what the
amount of his fortune is are apt to say
that conditions are changing and that
such things will not be possible fifty
years from now. And yet it is safe to
say that in spite of changed conditions
and new methods in business and in
dustry, there will always be men bold,
self-reliant and aggressive, willing to
take and give blows, who, when they
die, will rank as millionaires, just as
did the men who began their life ca
reer a generation ago. The estate of
the late George NJ. Pullman is esti-
mated at $25.O00,000 and it is not so
long. as we measure time nowadays.
since he first began to accumulate that
wealth. The methods by which some
of it was gained may be criticised, and
yet they were the methods that almost
every man in whom there dwells Il
spirit of restless activity would adopt.
The spirit of money getting is not CON
fined to the business man. and al
though moraliStS may declaim against
it from an abstract standpoint, it has
developed enterprise and stimulated
industry, and welded the great body
of the people closer together in the
bonds of common interests. 9th
er fortunes have been left by men
in this country at the magnitude of
which the world has wondered. They
have been the slow accretiOns of gen
erations. The founder of the family
made a lucky investment, just as men
do to-day, and bought land with the
proceeds, and as city was built up
and its commerce began to grow, that
real estate grew with it. and no burden
was attached to its care. and after a
time 1t represented millions, and the
heirs drew a princely income without
having lifted a hand in toll and with
out ever having set their nerves stir
ring in the fierce battle which so many
men have to fight This class of for
tunes may not be heard of much in the
future, but the fortune that Is made by
hard and unremitting work, by keen
judgment and by the ability to take
advantage of existing conditions is still
a possibility. And. after all, one can
not help admiring the man who takes
ventures and risks. and whom failure
cannot daunt rather than the man who
has simply inherited the wealth with
which he daZzles the world.

Getting On In the world.

There are many different ways of
getting on in the world. It does not
always mean making a great deal OF
money, or being great man whom
people look up to with wonder. Leaving
off a bad habit for good one is getting
on in the world; to be tidy, instead OF
disorderly is getting on in the world;
TO be careful and saving instead OF
thoughtless and wasteful is getting on
in the world; and to be active and in
dustrious, instead of idle and lazy. is
getting on in the world: to be kind
and forbearing, instead cf iil-nature-
and quarrelsome, is getting On in the
world; in short. when we see anyone
properly attentive to his duties, we may
be sure that he is getting on in the
Free Press.
