Money cannot buy happiness is the
remark attributed to one who, if
happiness could he purchased by money.

cumstances attending her wedding were
of such II character that no one wonders
she now realizes there are some things
money cannot buy. Money can build
palaces but it cannot make home; it can
build costly yachts but it cannot make
that which is morally wrong morally
right; it can enable one to live in
luxury but it cannot buy self-respect; it
can crafty ones wish for the most
elaborate and costly Partisan gowns
but it cannot restore Il shattered repu. l..

4 Lake That Run Away

One hundred years ago the sites of

which was fed from one of the large
ponds three or fUur mikes from what
Is now the village Of Glover. These
mountain ponds or lakes. two or three
miles square. are high up in the Green
mountains and are among the most
attractive spots in New England.
On June g.. 1910, three men went up
the brook tn see if Il little more water
could he let down TO the mill. They
removed some earth, when suddenly
the quickSandS gave way, and they saw
that the whole lake was liable to he

Frantically they questioned. "Who
will save the miller and his wifer"
Spencer Chamberlain, the tlcctcst of

tangle of thick woods Ia give warning,
while the other men escaped to higher
ground. He found the miller away and
the millcr's wife grinding mt the mill.
She became helpless with horror; but,

Ing. The objection to This was that
it would open the way to fraud and the
