One Man at Least Grateful to the
 Source of His Wealth.

"The Interpreter" in the American Magazine says of a respectful father he once knew:
 Isn't 1t time We took off our hats and thanked this pleasant land for the good things 1t has done for us by go- ing on patiently covering up our blun- ders, rectifying our mistakes, and re- spending cheerfully to our every in- telligent effort?
 'I knew man out west who had the right idea about 1t. His father had made a great fortune in the pork packing business. The heir was not puffed up by his millions. Long after he had grown accustomed to the money and might reasonably be ex- pected to look down on butchers. if in walking in the country with his chil- dren they saw drove of hogs on the road. he would make his little boys stand at attention and take on their hats. I want them to respect the sources of wealth. he said"
