millionaire who had founded 4
great many public libraries died in
the consciousness OF merit and the
faith of eternal renown. While
waiting for Charon to ferry him over
the Styx he fell into conversation
with an author similarly circumstanc-
ed.
''It gives me great pleasure, sir
said the millionaire, ''to meet one for
whose profession have done so
much"
You are the architect of your own
pleasure" said the author. 1T was
you who brought me here. If you
had not made it easy for hundred
persons to read one copy of my works
might have sold enough OF them to
give me living, and need not have
cut my throat to appease my hunger"

way before" said the millionaire, IN
deep meditation" Perhaps my merit IS
less great than 1t seemed; but at
least | am sure of my fame. posteri-
ty will not concern itself with the
wrongs of authors"
1T is authors that you call poster
ity," the other soul replied. "Their
voice is known as the judgment of
posterity-that is it's nickname.
None but they and those who are
willing to quote can get a hearing.
At this the millionaire was so sor-
ry for what he had done that he
tried to come back to Pittsburg to
lead a differenut life. But Charon
had other views, and at last accounts
the good man was in Elysium, lying
on bed of amaranth and molly and
