WHEN A MAN is REALLYPOOR.
Bereft of the Nobler Attributes and
Sordid with the Lust
for Gain.

Much of what is called success is but
the most vulgar kind of prosperity; it is
fine success of the brute faculties, at the
expense of the divine, says Orison SWEET
Marden, in Success. To develop a few
of ones brain cells, and these the lowest,
by everlasting digging and grinding for
money, to cultivate one huge glaRo
which secretes nothing but dollars, and
the exclusive cultivation of which
brushes out of life all the finer senti-
ments, all that is sweet and beautiful
and worth while, makes man as dry
and barren as the great Sahara desert.
He who follows this course cannot be
rich, no matter how much money he
may have. A man is rich when every
faculty within him has been developed
to the utmost along normal lines, when
he has followed his highest ideals, when
he has pushed his horizon to it's farther
most limit.
A man is poor when he has lost the
confidence of his friends, when people
who are nearest to him do not believe
in him; when his character is honey
combed by deceit, punctured by dishon-
esty. He is poor when he makes money
at the expense of his character, when
principle does not stand clear cut, SUI
preme in his idea. When this is clouded,
he is in danger of the worst kind of pow
erty. To be in the poorhouse is not
necessarily to be poor. If you have main
tanned your integrity, if your character
stands foursquare to the world, if you
have never bent the knee of principle
to avarice, you are not poor, though you
may be compelled to beg bread.

it is that since the contest of 1884 there
has been gradual subsistence of the

until, at the present time, there is an alb

so effective. There is not the same dread
to-day of the demoralizing effects of the
national campaign. There is not the
same business stagnation. The COM

dominate in their influence upon the gen.
