The beautiful suburb of Linden Hills Is about to

hit has not and the people do not know whether

William John Roberts went to prison in England
the other day for forgery. He was rich, but his
doctors told him he had but little time to live.
William John then became reckless with his money,
spending it like Pittsburg millionaire He squan,
dered it all fearlessy and when he poor recovered
his health Poverty induced him to steal for the pur-
pose of living he had lived when rich invalid.
The moral of this incident Is triae obscure We are
always being told that health is the only true riches
and that money without physical capacity to ENJOY 1t
is terrible drag on a man But here was William
John Roberts, undoubtedly great sufferer while ne
had money, and perhaps because he had money, who

share with them the class of world 8 goods which is

and reses it9 Byerley, it is true, did not put any
money into his venture, but he put in thought, he
put in study and he put in shrewdness. These quail
ties not those of the parasite or our American
ideals have been wrong all the time. We have main
tained that America the country of opportunity
