Louis, was an apostle of the simple

Nelson finds it easier to obtain hear

livered in Chicago. Sunday evening,
Mr.. Nelson took occasion to point out
some of the disadvantages of wealth.
as he see them. Getting rich is mere
" a habit. a bad habit he declared,
and although the poor man may take
exception 10 the statement, Mr.. Nelson
certainly speaks from experience.
For the captain of industry TO pile
up a great fortune is for him to impose
a proportionate load on his shoulders,
continued the man who owns an en-
tire town and is as busily engaged as
Andrew Carnegie trying to get rid of
his burden of wealth. The poor man
may think that poverty is a greater
burden than wealth, but Mr.. Nelson
has had experience with both and finds
his present burden the greater.
There is no comfort in living in "a
mansion with half a dozen servants.
Captains of industry allow themselves
to be driven to il because it is expect

A Title for Sale.

A Frenchman wants 10 sell his de
cayed title of duke and hopes some
rich American may buy. 1t would not
be surprising if he should succeed.
The newly-acquired wealth OF some
Americans, like fresh paint, catches
all the little gnats and flies of fancy
that come in contact with it. The
newly-rich American is apt TO buy any
thing except common sense. He
couldn't buy that if he would and he
wouldn't if he could. Common sense
is common and therefore 70 be de
spised. A title of duke indicates some
distinction. True. French title no
longer has anything back of it except
