WHAT is WEALTH.
Health and ABILITY TO work Better
Than Money and worry.

Health and Ability to work Better
Than Money and worry.
Does wealth consist in money, houses.
lands, bank stocks, railroad bonds, etc.
alone? We think not. The young man
starting In life with no money, but
with good digestion. good sleep, good
health and ability TO work in some
profitable employment, has what the
aged capitalist would be glad to ex-
change all his millions for.
What compensation is money fol
sleepless nights and painful days OF
the misconduct of disslpated childreni
Which brings the greater happiness
the glitter. show. jealousies and falsity
Of fashionable life or the heartfelt
friendships which prevail so largely
in the homes of the industrious poor?
In how many Of the palaces of our mil
lionaires viii you find greater happi-
ness in the parlor than in the kitchen?
How many miliionaires viii tell you
that they are happier now than when
starting in life without a dollar?
On the top Of mountains we find
rocks and ice and snow II Is down in
the valleys that we find the vineyards
Let no man envy those richer than
himself until taking all things into
account-age, health, wife, children
friends-he Is sure he would be willing
to exchange. George ]. Angel in Our

A Canny scot.

A canny Scot lived in a small settle
ment some miles from the neighboring
town. The distance, however, could
be considerably lessened by cutting
through a large estate. This practice
was accordingly so much resorted to
that the owner gave peremptory orders
for all trespassers TO be turned around
and sent back the way they came.
One time. however. the Scot In ques-
ton, having occasion TO take some arti-
cles to town in a wheelharrow, decided
to run the risk and was about half
way through when he saw the owner
in the distance. Not relishing the idea
Of retfacing his steps, he bethought
himself Of a scheme, and, promptly
turning the wheeIbarrow TO face the
direction from which he came, he sat
down upon It as If resting.
Soon the owner came up and, seeing
him there, roughly ordered him to turn
around and 20 back.
As "back" was in this case his OBJ
jective point, the Scot obeyed and went
on his way rejoicing. W eha-.i

to set up the word ''doughnut-" He

"see here" said the novelist, don't
