Heart to Heart
Talks.
AFRAID OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

A Chicago newspaper tells the story
of family heir to 100000 that hesi-
tates to take the money for fear it
may interfere with future happiness.
'.Quixotic," some people would call it.
This large heritage comes to Emil
Ascher, a retailer in gloves, who has
a wife and eight children. The family
lives contentedly in a coy fiat. The
children are all married excepting the
youngest.
The money comes from an uncle in
Germany.
But falling heirs to million does
the thrill supposed to come to the very
fortunate in these commercial times.
They are actually afraid of the
money.
In an interview Mrs. Ascher says: 81
suppose we must take the money. But
1 can tell you l want nothing but my
husband and children. We are very
happy. l am afraid of future with
much money, and so is my husband"
Continuing, the good woman says:
"We are not rich. We have simply
enough to eat and a fairly good place
to live. All the money in the world
could not make us more satisfied. 1t is
not money that makes people happy.
It is living q good life"
"What we will do with all this money"
said the husband, 81 cannot tell. We
will take a trip to Germany. my wife
and I. We will probably give half the
money to hospitals and old peoples
homes and then divide the rest be-
tween mother and the children"
| 1t is safe to say that million will not
magnetic other millions in the hands
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ascher
There are those who would mortgage
! their hope of salvation for 100000
and permit the mortgage to be fore
gestion that any one should fear the
effect of much money on future happi
ness.
And yet
There are great possibilities of evil
as we'll as of good-in the use of mil
lion Improperly directed. it nigh
easily disrupt the genuine happiness
of a little fireside. 1t might easil.
bring family strife and beartburning'
and much misery.
And. on the other hand
Money can gid. but it cannot maxi
happiness.
This family is wise above the wis
dom of its day. Instinctively it feel

TRAP CATCHES EAGLE.
The little son of n. L. Miller, north

lily weighted traps, 1t fought viciously,
but was finally dispatched by a well

NORRISTOWN, June 3.
Because 50 many persons touring
Montgomery county have been lost in
the maze Of roadways Judge Aaron S.
Swartz assembled the constables OF
the county yesterday and informed
them that it was their duty to see that
the road supervisors erect fngerboards
at the intersections of public roads.
The court said
This law, although seventy-two
years old this month, is really more
needed today than when it was pass
ed. In those days travel was slow and
almost everybody knew the roads.
Methods of travel have now become
speedier and the people want more un-
erring way of receiving information
than depending upon the variable
views of persons encountered upon the
highways. The law prescribes fine
of $40 for every case of neglect on the
part of the supervisors.
