Envy Not.
oh, envy not your brother man
Because his coat Is seedy
Or rave about the list OF cares
Missed by the poor and needy
His life may not be all a dream
OF peaches, cream and honey.
His troubles may be fierce as though
He had a lot of money.
We know the worries OF the rich
At times are quite pathetic;
That they must ever be alert.
Resourceful, energetic,
For pitfalls lie along the way,
And there are schemes in plenty
Designed to make them loosen up
And drop ten OF twenty.
You see a man without a cent:
Ideal seems existence.
No schemes are laid for him that call
For firm and strong resistance,
No taxes and no charities,
No social dues 20 shatter
His nerve reserve and keep him glum.
With everything the matter.
True. he may sometimes wonder where
He'll ind a quarter growing
or maybe even less than that
A dime to keep him going.

On stocks he Is not tripping,

he wished to avoid further airing OF
their marital difficulties.
The allowance. furthermore, which
the court directed him to pay was
s36,OOO a year. and, although that was
$1,000 more than he had voluntarily
given her, 1t was said to be little more
than one-thirtieth of his income.
Although the alimony was low, in
view of the large income from the
Jay Gould estate, it is said to be the
largest allowance that has ever been
made in case of this kind. so far
as the records of any court in this
country could show, except where a
