leave of absence in the fall to go to Cal

despite the best of care. She is sur
vived by son, eleven years of age, and
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Beardsley, of Perrinton, who were with
her in California. The remains will
reach Owosso tomorrow and the funer-

THE CURSE OF WEALTH

There seems to be an unorganized
movement to prove that Americans
not only do not worship wealth but
that riches are a curse and q disgrace.
Senator Bailey so strongly resents
the report that be is a millionaire that
he offers to sell all his holdings in
Texas except a 6OO-acre farm for
$1,000, which he will give to charity.
Mr.. Bryan's self-respect was so hurt
by the statement that he had an in
come of $4,000 that he took pains
while in New York recently to explain
that it was nowhere near that figure.
Both seem inspired by the convict
ion that an indeible stigma attaches
to worldly prosperity, and that the es-
TEEN of their fellOw-men can only be
preserved by proof of their being in
what the multi-millionaire would CON
slider poverty.
Judge Gray of Delaware is said TO
nave ICAuoCu d UuSluESS salary Oh
100000 on the ground that no citizen
should be paid more than the presi-
dent of the United States. A salary
of $4,000 a year represents a capital
of $1,000,00O in brains or property,
which puts Mr.. Roosevelt in the mill
iOnaire class so long as he is presi-
dent. But Mr.. Roosevelt looks upon
the multi-millionaire as the least en-
viable and one of the least admirable
of our citizens with his hard and cruel
face and soft body and with his son
fool and daughter a princess.
OF course multi-milliOnaires are no
rarer to-day than millionaires were
three or four decades ago. But pop
ular fashions change rapidly. If this
thing keeps up the man of uncounted
millions to retain his self-esteem will
soon have to go about in rags and De
even poorer than he pretends to be
when he swears off his taxes.-WOrld.

w. GLEASON,

when | look upon the tombs of
the great" said a writer in the Specta-
tor, every emotion of envy dies in
me. When I read the epitaphs of the
beautiful, every inOrdinate desire goes
out. When l meet with the grief of
parents on a tombstone, my heart
melts with compassion. When I see
the tombs of the parents themselves,
l consider the vanity for grieving for
those whom we must quickly follow.
When I see kings lying side by side
with those who deposited them, when
l consider rival wits placed side py
side, or the holy men that divided the
world with their contests and dis
putes, l reflect with sorrow and as
constituent on the little competitions,
factions and debates of mankind.
When read the several dates of the
tomb, l consider that great day when
we shall all of us be contemporaries
and make our appearance together
How true these observations are. How
long shall we all remain dead? How
true it is that life is too short to- Gre
ate envies and SOW seeds of passion
and unkindness. There should be no
room nor time for hate. Every man
born into the world should dedicate
his life to making it better than he
found it. If this were so, how beau
tiful the world would become in lit
tie while.
