e be well for you to look about

ows and orphans YOU encounter.

who are really benefited by the for
tunes left them by hard-working ia
theirs.
The average will is contested and
leads TO discord and ill-well among
heirs. and the fortune accumulated
with industry is dissipated in extrava-
gance.
Not one man in one thousand is
great enough TO derive benefit from
money he does not earn.
Then behold the widows OF rich
men,
On every hand you may see them
past middle-age ana worn with the
cares OF helping accumulate the for
tune they were never allowed to enjoy

ceeded to do the things she had al
ways longed 10 do despite the fact
OF advancing years.
She bought beautiful gowns. which
would have been becoming 20 years
earlier, and she arrayed herself in
Jewels. silks and laces and sailed
forth to see the world.
She finds many others like unto her
self whenever she goes So prevalent

are rcaping the late harvest and win
moving the sheaves they missed in
