carry their nets into the sea and scoop

WHEN YOU GET RICH,
Only Then Are You Appreciated for
Your True Worth.

Upton Sinclair, the novelist, was
talking about wealth at Lake Pla-
cid.
1T is pleasant to be rich" he said.
Nobody can deny that. Many of the
pleasures of wealth. though. are false
and mistaken ones.
When | was making my living by
the composition OF blood and thun-
der tales for boys-and | could turn
out my 5000 words a day knew a
pale, bent, ink-stained old chap who
wrote love stories.
His stories did not pay: he was
very poor; but an aunt died. and sud
denly the old fellow found himself .
millionaire.
He saw me one afternoon on Broad
way. He stopped his red car and we
chatted about old times.
And is 1t pleasant to be rich?' I
asked.
Yes. It is he answered. as he
lighted Vuelto Abajos and handed
me another. And do you know what
is the pleasantest thing about it? You
have an opportunity to make real
friends, friends who can understand
you. You get at last to know people
capable OF esteeming you for your own
qualities alone. You find. sir. that

Mystries of Life

There is an old saying that it is safer to be condemned to death by doctor than by a judge. A man with a broken back has shocked and disappointed the medical fra ternity out in Wisconsin by dying of tuberculosis. He ought to have succumbed to the broken back and satisfied professional ethics. Doc tors are no more than human and they can make mistakes. The ma chinery of the human body, strung together az it is with an endless network of little wires, the nerves, which partake of all the troubles of the body and soul, makes an eter- nal mystery as to what shall come to pass.
 Some strong men die of a scratch on the hand some who seem to be gasping their last breath live to see the ninety mark. Some hardy, brawny women cannot stand the toothache, and some thistle down ones can undergo wreck of body, wreck of hopes, wreck of happiness and smile and trip along their ways through the eighties. Chris tian Scientists, mental scientists and subscribers to the New Thought have truth in their belief that the mind and spirit have great control over the flesh and bones.
 Doubt and fear are poison, hope and faith are tonic. One can send blood to any part of the body, it is maintained, by thinking of it, or can brew most tremendous tooth ache by multiplying little twinge by the fear of a big ache. We need the doctors to dose us with quin- inc and calomel and to cut off our sick mem bers, and we also need the will to get we'll and the will to live.
