WEALTH FOR WEALTH'S SAKE.
ing Against the Domination Of
Mammon.

Look about you, and sooner or later
you will see some man to whom the
idea Of wealth, as wealth, does not ap-
peal. I advise you to watch this man
closely for he will presently dem
onstrate to you that money dominates
every body except the man who does
not want money. You may meet that
man on your farm, in your village, or
in your legislature. But be sure
that whenever or wherever you meet
him, as soon as it comes to a direct
issue between you his little finger
viii be thicker than your loins. You
will go in fear of him; he will not
go in fear of you. You will do what
he wants; he will not do what you
want. You will find that you have
no weapon in your armOry with which
you can attack him; no argument with
which you can appeal to him. What
ever you gain, he will gain more.
would like you better to be that man,
because from the lower point of view
it doesn't pay to be possessed by the
desire of wealth for wealth's sake. II
more wealth is necessary to you for
purposes not your own, use your left
hand to acquire it, but keep your right
for your proper work in life. If you
employ both arms in that game you
will be in danger of STOPPING; in dan
ger also Of losing your sOul.-Rudyard
Kipling.

Trouble.

Trouble, in whatever shape ii comes,
is a hard discipline. We must always
remember that all that really counts
is the way we bear it To give in to
a woe. an illness, poverty, heart-sick-
ness, loneliness, loss, is to aggravate
#.
To hope for better things, to strive
womanfuIly for courage, to seek dis
traction and turn a happy face to the
world is to build a better future, oft
entimes on the very ruins of the dis
sster that NOW looms so large.
