A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid Of his troubles and get

WEALTHY MEN OF OLD.
Their Fortunes Make Even Rookie.
feIIer's Millions Seem Small.


A writer in Jewish magazine has
been looking into the Agadic history
OF the Talmud, and believes that
there were richer men before the
Christian era than there are now. We
know that Cr0esus was rich, ard that
there were huge Roman fortunes in
the times of the empire. The Talmud
stories go back further still. The
great corner in corn that Joseph man.
aged was fabulously profitable. Ira
dition says that Joseph, acting for
Pharaoh, got his hands on pretty
much all the ready money there was
in his day. and buried three enor-
nous treasures, one of which was
found by Korah, whose fortune esti-
mated according to the modern stand
ards of value, is rated by the maya
zine at three billion dollars. Solo
mons stable, with it's horses, chariots
and horsemen, is said to have repre-
sented sum the modern equivalent
of which would be three or four hun
dred millions, and he spent two hun
dred and fifty millions on his temple.
Herod's temple cost more still. In
Jerusalem in Roman times there were
three Jews, who between them, felt
able to face an expenditure of a hun
dred millions year for twenty-one
years. They offered TO feed the mil
lion inhabitants of Jerusalem for that
length of time rather than surrender
the city. One of these Jews, Niko-
demon. gave his daughter a dowry of
S425.000000. There were other Jews
of whose enormous wealth the Agadic
history makes record.-H Harper S

Under the naples the man walked
and the little leaves of brown and
yellow and those with the crimson
blots danced about him The man
had grown old in two days. frost had
touched hts temples and his face was
gray and drawn. He looked at the
red chimneys above the tree tops; he
held out his arms towards them, yearn-
ingly, with a half.stifled moan. The
little leaves danced and flew in clouds
before his eyes, they beat him upon
the face; they seemed to run and
jump before his sight, binding him,
stinging him, as he held his arms to-

Who know how each to each is all In all.
So each to each is Of the ether sure.

And winds arise the landscape fair to mar
BY mists and shadows no man may fore

The perfect vision OF the opening day
Remains for them a blessed memory
Thro all the day, until all light is gone.
Closed by the last chime of the curfew.
Yet
TO have known that glory of dawn still
makes the day
Most happy they for whom this time shall
The FIRST sweet moments of an ample

Life had been but twilight time where
Each had moved solitary amid the crowd,
Lonely IN spirit, lonely in heart and

They are themselves, yet not their for

Maranda.

morn,
The star of beauty smiling in it's rays
The birds sing low-as wocing their own
lays:
The young May-blossoms fresheued
zephyrs warn.
Lest closer touching win, not bud, but
thorn:
The air breathes lovers breath on
fainting haze:
While Silence, eloquent with voiceless
praise
GUARDS well the stillness-and the day is
born.
The poets soul saw type of this fair
hour
In sacred recess OF a living heart:
Its peerless melody. its bloom. its flower
Its beauty, and it, mystery are part
OF hymnic music. telling of sunrise
In the soft shadows of a maidens eyes.

mouth And her eyes-her eyes, now
dark with the pain of this passion

She could feel his warm breath upon
her cheeks. Her hands crept up his

her head back and as she did-their
lips met in one long kiss.
