SOME persons form opinions with.
out looking into the facts OF the
case. These opinions, like tie
ones forming them. often do not
amount to much. Appearances are
often deceitful ana that is one rea.
son why humanity is SO hard to
trust. 1t leads MANY per sons 10
mistrust one another, when they
have it ever before their eyes that
the almighty dollar is the best
friend you can have. But such is
the case. The man without money
Or influence does not cut much of
figure in this Lille. Money Is very
handy thing, as it enables man
to be independent OF his fellows to
a great extent.
A man who has money that he
earned BY years of toll and saving
can vouch for what we hree say.
We know tull we'll whereof we
speak. But poverty does not al
ways rob man OF his independence
although it places him in differ
ent position to which he occupied
when lie was on easy street. Men

means and can be OF use to them,

there are plenty OF them in this
