WEALTH MADE A PURSUIT.


I, In the United States leaders in every
line of activity. in politics and business,
have been conspicuously prone to die,
as it is said, in harness, observes the
Bankers Magazine. But the list of those
distinguished for their successful at
tainment of wealth and fame, who have
continued their activities long after the
advance of age and the diminution Of
physical strength must have warned
them of the approaching end, is very
long one. In the older countries of Eu-
rope, on whose civilization that of the
United States is founded, it seems easier
for men who have more or less success
fully obtained the object they aimed at
to retire and enjoy freely the prizes they
have gained. although even there the old
barbaric struggle is in many cases kept
up to the end Public opinion there. too,
lis more tolerant of those who lay of the
harness before being compelled to do SO
by the decree of fate. In this country,
however, there seems to exist in the
mind of the ordinary man certain con-
tempt for those who give up the strenu-
Gus paths of labor and ambition before
their strength has wasted away. The
successful men of the United States who
have sprung from the masses are imbued
with this opinion. Until within the last
25 years the idea of retiring from active
life and settling down to life in which
personal tastes and procliyities could
be, followed was regarded as at least
eccentric. Is a
There have always been two neces-
sary steps to be taken before retirement
from active life could with safety be ac-
complished; one was the requirement of
wealth and the other provisions for its
safekeeping. As civilization progresses
the second and more important step can
be more easily managed. The individual
no longer has to depend upon his own
efforts to. guard the store set aside for
his future support. The power of cor-.
porations, originally directed simply to
the accumulation of wealth, is now to a
very great extent applied to its conserva-
tion. :. s
In Great Britain there has always been
"a wealthy leisure class. and naturally
there has been systematization of the
manners and customs consequent on
such an association of wealth and
leisure. Public opinion is more tolerant
of man who wishes to do what he likes
with his own than 1t has yet become in
the United States. The existence OF a
leisure class, able and willing to enjoy
their lives nationally and ,intelligently,
is a check on the wilder exhibitions OF
leisure on the part of suddenly acquired
wealth. 1t also holds out something be-
yondzmere money-getting as the goal Of
a successful life. 1t encourages retire.

compromising honesty and upbounded generosity. He was loyal, kind, pure minded and public spirited. It may truthfully be said of him that no one man in all the state of Connecticut or in all the world was his enemy. His character and disposition were unuSu- al. He had positive opinions on most subjects but he was always tolerant of the opinions of others. He was never trimmer in anything: you always knew where to find him, but he had that rare characteristic of being able to concede to other people the right of equally earnest convictions and he rarely questioned mems motives. His view of mankind taught him that hu- man nature can be trusted; he had the ability and disposition to draw men very close to him. There are few men III Connecticut who have won as earn est and sincere friendships. He could never be induced to believe ill of any man until the proof was overwhelming and even then he invariably extended a hand to help, and never hand to repel the offender. He was devoted to his friends and to his family. He was never ostentatiouS, but he was always true blue." The people of New Pres ton and Connecticut have lost friend they loved ant respected.

 So on the Saturday before Thanks giving John set out on his journey home, carrying the largest pumpkin he could find in the city market. All went well until he came to the junc- tion where the team was to meet him | for the Six-mile drive home. The pumpkin was so large that John had stored it in the baggage car. AS the train came near the station he got up from his seat in the passenger coach where he was the last passenger on the train and went forward into the l baggage car for his prize. He had hardly entered the door before he heard snap and looking out saw the passenger coach leave the rails at the curve and turn out on it's side in the ditch.
 "Mighty close call for you, young man," "said the conductor after they had examined the wreck, "One of the supports to the the telegraph poles went right through the window where you were sitting. It would have caught you in the head sure. The pumpkin saved you this time." So twice the Pumpkin saved John: Once in the Jack o lantern when his man. hood came back; once on the train in | the wreck.
 John never went back to the city to live. He found the house across the brook to have attract tion~, too. And 1 more so as meeting one of his glrl playmateS at pumpkin social he re- newed an acquaintance which ripened into affection and marriage. Over his l fireplace hangs picture of large pumpkin on stand. And when his children want story that pleases them most of all, he tells them how the Pumpkin saved John.

HOW THE PUMPKIN SAVED JOHN.
STORY WRITTEN FOR THE BEE BY REV c. H. SMITH OF BARRE, MASS.
"lt is my turn next to deal"

Ut is my turn next to deal"
 "NO, 1t is not. You dealt laSt."
 ''I did not say. You dealt and l think that you stacked the cards or run some tp your sleeve"
 "What! Do you dare to call me a cheat and a liar?"
 "I do. You are liar and thief. "
 "Well take that for your thought, " and a fist shot out and took John Col burn between the eyes and he went down to the floor like log.
 It was only one of the little scraps which were often taking place in Mike O'Rafferty saloon and billiard hall. It was a popular place for the young men the "high old times" that the boys had at "Mike's." They called them thigh" old times but in reality they were ''low" times, when they sank their manhood in pots of beer and their money Tn gambling. The incident which had just taken place was only a sample of many that "Mike" might have told about had he cared to divulge the happenings in his saloon that led down toward hell.
 It was Saturday evening when John Colburn had gone down to "Mike's" after his hard weeks work in the ware house in the city where he had been employed. He had come from the country four years before tempted by the wages of ten dollars week which seemed a fortune to him. Back among the hills was the farm where father and mother still lived and where a younger sister still stayed with the filial love of the daughter keeping her true to home and father and mother. There was work enough for John too,
The Newtown bee., 1904-12-09

on the farm, but he did not find ten dollars a week in it and besides like most boys he wanted to be his own boss. He had not been philosopher enough to see that it is not what a man earns but what he saves that sends him on the road to prosperity. At first he had managed to send home a dollar a week to remind his parents that he had not forgotten them, but for the last year he had not done so; Mikes beer cost money and John nad to treat the boys once in while. So the present to father and mother and sister had become present Of beer to the other fellows, who like you when you have money and kick you when you have none.
 John never meant to be drunkard. Few men ever do. But that Saturday night he had exceeded his two glass limit and he was more than half tlpSy when he got into that uarrel with his companiOn that gave him the knock out blow. It did not kill him. Mike hustled in and threw some water op the unconscious John. He enlisted some of the boys to get the dazed young fellow home and to bed. For if a saloon is to remain respectable it must not leave the fruits of it's busi- ness lying around. So just as the clocks of the city were striking mid, night. on that Saturday, the 3Oth of October, three fellows toiled up the back stairs of the piazza of a house on Front street to the second story, ana John Colburn was put to bed for the first time since his mother used to tuck him in and hear him say his prayers and kiss him, while she prayed in her soul for this beloved son. Put to bed in a drunken daze. Put to bed with his clothes on, with no prayer, with the fumes of liquor as the only incense rising from his lips. Alas for the manhood slain by rum.
 "What is it?" cried John sitting up in bed and staring at the window. My soul What is it? Am l alive or am I dreaming?" And he covered down under the quilt that had been drawn around him. His thoughts flew fast Had he got the horrors? Was
