follow right thinking is as scientific

If we only knew the secret of think

How He Escaped Being Rich.
The December American Magazine
contains 4 very characteristic sketch
of Uncle Joe Cannon by George Fitch.
McCutcheon made the cartoons for
the article. Here is Mr.. Fitch's de,
scription of how the speaker avoided
becoming an ordinary plutocrat:
Cannon saw that, barring acct
dents, he was going to be very rich
indeed. He was going to wear clothes
made for him instead of for humanity
in general. He was going to build a
stone house. eat off an assortment Of
plates every meal. fall into the hands
of valet, slide downhill into a sum,
mer home, then into New York, and
finally into liver complaint and mar

d. millionaire, cut, set and polished
light. AS a Cannon he would be
smooth oore, and nothing more.
''WheT the, Danville man had finish
ed mapping out this awful fate. he
vowed a vow that, no matter how rich
he became. he would never be an
ordinary millionaire. He would be
neither a kid-finished plutocrat nor
wild and woody new-rich. He would
combine the best features of both into
something entirely new. He would
retain al 1.-The habits of honest poverty
which were comfortable and would
acquire all the tricks of wealth which
as refined as he could be without be-
ing ordinary, and as primeval as he
could be without being eccentric. In
short he would make a merger of
luxury and simplicity beside which
Morgan's merger of steel mills and
Harriman's merger of railroads would
look childishly simple"
