MISERY OF THE MILLIONAIRE

Although there are many who doubt his sincerity, I believe after three years of intimate acquaintance with Mayor Jones that the rapidity with which his wealth increases. and his inability 10 use it for the real ben- eft of either himself or mankind. is a constant and deep distress to him.
 He said to me Cne day: My book keeper has explained the difficulty. \ friend of mine has one reply to make 10 me whenever I mention the inius- tice in the system that gives me a for tune when others who are willing to work have nothing. If you don't want your money" he says. why don't you give it aWayT' He was in my office today when I opened the letter from
 Mir. Nelson. Nelson wrote among other things that the conviction was rapidly growing among men of large fortunes that it was not so desirable to have more than your neighbOrs. and that the real joy il effort. after all

I was dumb as usual after this very sensible remark. but 1ny bookkeeper said. dryly, He don't give ii away. because if ha did. Hanna would get it." Now that fs the real reason why a man who don't believe in accommodating private fortunes is obliged to remain millionaire in case he gets the millions.
