coREYs cAsE-AND OTHERS

The case Of w. Ellis Corey. president
Of the steel trust, wherein his wife has
left him because Of his infatuatlon for
an actress, has filled large space In
the public press for the last week. The
salacious details are already too well
known to require repetition. But there
Is feature OF the affair which has pos
sibly escaped the general view. II is
the curse that unlimited wealth brings
to him who has not the stamina to care
for its burdens.
Corey. in his earlier days, was a day
laborer. He worked on the "tipple" at
coal mine. He was honest, industri-
Gus. and above ALL studious. He mar
ried early--a good woman of his own
class. with his studies turned into the
proper channels, he became an expert
In steel founding. Andrew Carnegie
took him up. A former protege proved
false TO his trust, and Corey was thrust
into the place. In very few years
he made millions upon millions of dol
lars. He was not seasoned to this; it
turned his head. He went off at a
tangent, lost his balance wheel, scorned
his wife. took up with an actress--and
now Will likely lose his wife and job
as we'll.
And Coreys case is almost a dupll-
cate (save for the scandaD of Schwab's
whose place he took. This Schwab was
an humble workman. He studied and
became a steel expert Carnegie made
him the street trusts first president
and the millions poured in on him.
Gambling proved his bette noir-gam-
bling at the wheel and in stocks. He
lost his job, and is pointed out as an
example of foolishness brought about
by sudden riches.
There are others--many of them.
But these two serve to point a moral"
Wealth is trust. 1t carries with it,
when 1t comes to a man, certain grave
1t requires for it's
mastery level head, shrewd and
careful mind, courage, self-control The
man who grows up in wealth has some
chance to possess these attributes; the
suddenly rich man seldom has. AS
he usually makes a fool
of himself and is loser in the end.
The Course of poverty is a favorite
topic of complaint. Give ~ bit of heed
to the possible curse of wealth; per-
haps it will reconcile some to the lack
o. it who now senselessly mourn.

THE SWEET HOME LINE

The husbands the locomotive,
The engineers the wife;
With her hand upon the throttle,
She saves or wrecks his life.
Her CHEEKY laughter is the oil
That smooths the way for daily toll.
He runs upon the sweet home line,
But sometimes meets grade,
When she must oil to help him UP
The tracks so badly laid.
For friction's caused by discomfort,
And cross words prove an accident.
Thus, when they reach lifes summit
high,
Together down they'll glide
Smoothly into tho station bright,
Happy and satisfied.
So, wives. through danger do your part,
And oil the engine from your heart.

Mrs. Nelson says that her pet shall be
