THE GOLDEN TOUGH"

was SllleQ WITH tue SOIQen
touch" AS the story goes,
everything this individual laid
his hands upon Immediately
turned to gold.
While not literally true of any
person in these days, still from
time to time there comes under
our observation people who, no
matter what they undertake,
succeed in it. In the ages of
the world when people looked
TO Athens for wisdom, this val
liable asset OF bringing success
was said to have been the gift
of the gods; in our time people
call it luck . At any rate, let
il be as it may, it is peculiar to
no class of people and seems to
be no respector of persons.
Many child of the cutters has
itlifted on the benches With the
multi-millioniares and not a few
OF decided plebian extraction
has this touch elevated
among those of earth's favored
who wear the imperial purple.
The familiar lines, Some are
born great, others have great
ness thrust upon them" is not
altogether out of place here.
But candid now, haven't you
seen this golden touch" exem-
plitied in everyday life among
just ordinary, common folks,
like ourselves for instance?
See here man. there a woman,
educated, refined, gifted intel
lectually and of fairly good bus
mess acumen, over whose lives
are written in great big letters
the words, Financial failures. "
The many reefs of misfortune
and the long shores of despon
dency all over and around the
great ocean of human life are
strewn Tricky with this class
OF wreckage; on lite's high way
they were capa BILE, worked well
and were helpful to others, but
invaria bly, when they invested
in business lines, prices were
high and when they sold the
bottom was out. Thus it is with
the great mass of humanity; it
is struggle, struggle day in and
day out, not always, perhaps, in
dire need, but never very far re-
moved from il because, forsooth,
it doth appear that ''luck's agin
EN-"
Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
These lines from Burns don't
begin TO apply TO the man of
the present day but rather:
MAN wants but little here below
This statement couses mirth;
tmight have been in ancient times,
But now he wants the earth"
Modern people have educated
tastes far beyond those among
whom the bard of Scotland
moved. In the frugal days of
''auld lang syne" people were
content with simplicity in both |
food and dress and at all times /
studious and caretaking to con
fine their expenses within the
bounds of their income, not for
getting a liberal allowance for
the old stocking against rainy
day. The golden period these
good old fashioned folks looked I.
to was when they should enter
