 some bumps on a log und don't haf ne i philosophy. und so you vhas poor
 man all der time
 Ii seems dot way to me. bat l can; tell. l vhas linking it oafer when MT
 Noglestein goes on init:
 Do you belief Mir. Rockerfeller yhas
 reech because he goes out in der morn ing uiid pumps cop kerosene oil all day
 for S2.5e: Not any. He vhas a good
 bumper: but he pumps init his brains
 instead of his hands. He has some phi
 losophy. He says if he pumps oop ker- osene all day dot vhas S2J". but if ha
 pumps oop der price a cent a gallon
 dot vhas Sl.5O0.0G1. Dot settles it. und
 der price gees oop'
 But l don't haf some kerosene to
 pump I says.
 Dot vhas no deeference You put a
 cement patch on a shoe for 10 cents
 Suppose you put der price cop to 20?
 Dot means you get shust as mooch for
 life patches ash for ten. und you safe
 one-half on york und material. Dot
 vhas philosophy, und if you haf some prains you vhill know it."
 But der public won't stand for twenty cent patches"
 "Pecause why? Pecause der public don't haf philosophy der same ash you. You must educate der public oop to her. Can't anypOdy see dot lemons at 20 cents dozen vhas better ash lemons at 10: You simply haf to say twice ten vhas twenty. und 20 cents vhas twice ash good ash 1O.''
 l make ready to put a lift on heel und can't figure him out. und in a leetle time MT. Vogelstein keeps on:
 Take der case of some railroad pres ident. When some money vhas to be safed does he go on a train ash brake man und safe $40 a month und show dot money to der directors und brag oafer her? Of course not. He goes py He says to himself: Here vhas 10000 men. If l cut der wages of each man down 10 per cent dot makes $50,0OO a year for our pocket Und he shust writes a ieetle order, und it vhas done. Dot vhas brains. Hans; dot vhas philosophy, und you can see why you vhas always poor man"
 But if I haf DO mans how can I cut wages downT I ask.
 Cut down your own. If you figure dot you vhas dollar day den take feefty cent off. Dot alone makes you B per week. If you take feefty eentss a day of your wages und do twice ash mooeh work ash now it vhas S6 week for you. Any fool can figure dot out"
 go ahead init dot lift und can't see how it vhas. und Mir. syoglestein walks around und smiles und chuckles und i ,ays:
 Take my case again. Hans. like o go half a mile on der street car der | 'dder day, but 1t vhas fife cents. Dot | 'treet car line vhas four miles long. It | vhas fife cents for four mile or half a nile. My philosophy tells me dot dere thas eight tAlf2 M n four miles. berefore wsik bk U der end of dot inc und ride four miles for fife cents md safe fifteen cents. It vhas only a rife. but if shdws you how philosophy works. Take anodder case. Last spring
 like some strawberries. Der price yhas feefty cents box. Do I rush fight out und puy some und eat 'em op? Not mooch. My philosophy tells DC to wait for awhile. und ! wait. und esterday buy bananas at feefteen or quarter. Py golly, Hans. wish ou vhas a philosopher, but l am fraid you vhas too old to learn."
 A man comes in to see about half oles on his shoes und goes out again. nd Ar. vogelsteip stands oop init his humbs in der armholes of his vest und ays: Hans. do I Iook nke some spring You bet I don't You know Expenditures. of epuzDs. vhsu, three san aso he nkss to seu me . doG sW kakansGaN ssk6tlRas{ ai,sbDm
