$1,000.

the world, talked with the brightest
people, had a gay time, making an
ample and even elegant living with
their pens, and came within $1,000 and
$4,000 of exhausting their resources,
leaving hardly enough for survivors to
quarrel over. They had enough to pay
the debts of their last sickness, and
give themselves a decent burial and

WHY is not this better than to leave
pile of wealth?
Their example is not singular. No
doubt the vast majority of the race
leave even less fortune than those
poets. A great many die poor-ieav-

is drawn off and the oats left to swell
and ferment. Another troughful is
