Professor Leopold Schroeder was

Persian BuriaIs.

In Persia two sticks a foot long are
placed in the coffin to prop up the
arms of the corpse when it rises from
the grave and is being questioned by
the angel Gabriel. After it has salts
fed the angel that it is the body of
a true Mussulman it will receive
strength to stand alone. A glance from
a dog is necessary to drive away the

APART"

But. after all, that was his own Drs-
mess. He was fond Of going to the
theatre. and while he always picked
out good plays, still. in the opinion
OF his brother, he might have been
employed staying late at his Office
heaping up dollars.
The brother was heaplng them up
all right. Why, that man was the
nrst one to reach his Office and the
last one to leave it. The office boy
always got tired of waiting for MN
and went home before him. You
NAV be sure that his business pros
pered and at thirty he was
worth a hundred times as much as
his unbusinesslike brother He may
have had an ear for music when he
was boy, but at thirty he had lost

certs as money thrown away.
Time and money were converti-
BILE terms with him. and he sought
by every means in his power to bulld
up a huge fortune.
Reading was not for him. Books
were apt TO be idle thoughts, only fit
for idle fellows, and lie had no time
10 waste on nonsense. Pictures might
mike good investments if man hap
pened to buy the right kind, but he
didn't pretend to know good one
from bad one. so he never bought
any. The companionship of his fel-
lows was not congenial to him and he
belonged to no clubs. A club, IN
his opinion, was place where a man
wasted time that might have been
employed in making money and
where idle fellows snapped idler
stories. No. the Office for him and

money.

It's an amusing sond and the sug-
gested advice is good. Strange how
many people there are who do not
act on it.
Let my sermonette this month be
the record of the experiences of two
men, one of whom lived up to the
advice, while the other did not 'heed
-.
There were two brothers born
within a year or two of each other,
and of The same parents-thats why
they were brothers-but they were
as different as Roosevelt and-Harri-
man.
One or them was always bent on
accumulating experiences Of one kind
or another; he was fond of music,
fond Of books, fono Of pictures. He
possessed a good deal Of curiosity re-
garding the habits of men, and
neglected his business-so they say
in order to increase his stock OF
knowledge concerning mankind.
