Hetty Green and Her Hubby.


 Millionaire Hetty Greens husband. whose name is Edward Green, has been about to die in Vermont, and Mrs Hetty was obliged to quit lawsuit and Wall street to so to his bedside" said John Withers of New York.
 Reports are that she was very, very impatient; but disease does not always leave even a rich woman's husband at her bidding.
 And that reminds me of story about poor, neglected wife, who was dying. Her brute of husband left her alone in darkness, and by and by she called to him plaintively, saying she wished light in the room. The beast brought light and placed it on table near the wifes bedside. with the remark:
 Now, go on with your dying
 Mrs. Green Is one of those practical women-one. of the sexless ones who are free from that which fools sheer at as sentiment Here is her advice to a young man:
 :" Do not be satisfied to begin life as your father did. Start from the results Of his experience and keep your stand ard high. Do not be afraid to work The trouble with most young men is that they are always afraid of doing more than they are paid for. They don't enter into their work with the right spirit to get on and be appreciated. You must do more than you are paid to do. Men are always willing to pay good salaries to people who will think of things for them The man who only carries out the ideas of another is nothing more than a mere tool Men who can be relied upon are al- ways in dem and. The scarcest thing in the world today is a thoroughly reliable man. |"
