EoIey's Prosperjtv.

In reading the newspapers. where SO
much is taken for granted in consider
ing things on money standard, I
think we need some OF the sense of
humor possessed by an Irish neighbor
Of mine. who built what We regarded
an extremely ugly house. which stood
out In bright colors as we looked
from our windows. My taste In archi-
lecture differed so widely from that
affected by my Irish friend, that we
planted out the view of his house by
moving some large trees to the end OF
our property. Another neighbor who
watched this work going on asked Mr..
Foley why Mr.. Rockefeller moved all
these big trees and cut of the view
between the houses. Foley. with the
quick wit of his country. responded
instantly: ITS hwy. they can't stand
