John Ateriweather was what the
world would call self made man.
The reason why he was self made
man was because be had been given
By bis Creator both the desire and the
ability to be such. He had saved his
pennies as q boy, paying for an educa-
ton by working while studying, had
denied himself when a young man IN
order TO save capital and had forged
ahead rapidly by a remarkable capac-
ity for hard work. He now lived in a
fine house. drove his horses. was pow
erful and courted, yet he worked as
hard as ever. One day he overheard
his butler lamenting 10 his coachman
that the wealth OF the world was very
badly distributed and declaring that
an equitable way OF arranging the
good things would be for the rich and
the poor 10 change places once every
ten years
Peter called the master. come

Peter would have been embarrassed
at having been overheard. but be had
got the equality bee in his bonnet and
he approached his master somewhat

armed with an order to act FOR bis

surprise was manifested on the part of
The other directors that this Peter Con-

they We're accustomed to look for a

Peter turned flaming red and said
nothing. The president stepped to the

the part Of those American people who

that The fleet was going in spite Of their
objections, turned 10 piqne and made
sour faces As likely as not the story

can people who did not object to tile

be far-fetched and il may be unfairly
