III the little lad Mt your knee should
inherit S4oOOOO0 In money. would you
be glad or sorry?
Think the proposition over carefully
before you answer.
That large sum has been left by
his great-uncle to Hunt Il. Dickinson
OF Augusta. Ca.
And young Dickinson is but nine
years old.
Judged by what he says, the father
or this boy is really sorry his son
should have Inherited $4,OOOOOO. He
fears the effect of II on the boys fl-
ture.
Mr.. Dickinson says he Will keep the
news OF bis Inheritance from Hunt az
long as possible.
Says this anxious father:
That Is enough money to ruin any
boy. 1 do not want my boy TO grow
up feeling that he need never work-a
false idea. 1 want him to be a plain.
honest man. want him to do some
or the worlds work and learn that the
greatest comfort in life Is to know
that one has done something to make
the world better"
Wise Mr.. Dickensonl
He knows that much money IS NOR,
apt to be curse than a blessing.
IL Hunt Dickinson grows ND to feel
that whatever happens to other peo-
pie he is sure OF plenty without ef-
fort, he may put himself I'D on a
pedestal and come to feel that he Is
different from those that toll.
Even should he resist the temptation
to sQusnder his money in rIotous uy-
Ing he may come to think that he Is
nodded OF different putty from the or
binary men
And that would make him cold and
hard and selfish.

than TO minister-that he Is here to get
what he thinks Is coming to him rath-
er than TO give the world what is COM
ing to 1t
he would lose all touch with his
fellows.
Is there any wonder why Mr.. Dick
enson should dread the influence of
those millions on his sons career?
A boy thus handicapped has no fair
chance with the poor boy who must
nght his way up to success. keeping
elbow touch with the world, making
himself strong by earning what he
gets, developing his character and
making himself a useful citizen.
Mr.. Dickinson may well fear the In
cubus OF $4oo0.00o on the shoulders
Of his SON.
