broker and a philosopher. Having made
fortune in Wall street in ten years. he
now proposes to retire-with his fortune
still in his possessiOn-and spend his days

men will grub, grub, grub although they

they already have. They are to be pitied.
Their money will pile up. They can't use

conspicuous against the background of
stones turned black and brown and
green with age, and all the morning the

look. One, little more curious or with
more time to spare. stepped inside the
gate and talked with the foreman who
was directing the placing. IN enormous
| plank box just opened was being pushed
on rollers under the derrick that rose
above the inches. A rope was made fast,
five men began to pull, and another
stone giant was lifted from the straw to
an erect position and slowly upward.
