REST FOR THE WEA RA
Didn't Want Justice.

A wellknown attorney of this city had a client whose case pre- sented a mass of technicalities, of which his lawyer took every pos sible advantage, says the Philadel- phia Times Before the final ar gument and handing down of opin- ion, however, the client was forced to take a journey of some hundreds of miles and was compelled to be absent for several weeks. He ar ranged with his attorney to flash him by telegraph the result of the trial of his case, but told him to so word his telegram that the addressee alone would comprehend it's import.
 The result was the awarding of a verdict in favor of the litigant in question, and his delighted counsel sent him the following message: Justice and truth have tri- umphed.
 What was his amazement at re- eeiving a few hours later a tele- gram from his client which said:
 Yours received. Hard luck. Alp peal mediately

HARRIMAN's HOMECOMING.

The homecoming of E. il. Harri- man is heralded as an international event. If MT Hartman were a prince or a potenate, the mayor of dent of the United States, the news of his voyage home after few months spent in Europe would not be announced with greater eelat,
 But Mr Hartman is only a plain American citizen, one who has play ed the stock markets with the hand of master and has grown both rich and famous
 Cablegrams announcing his em- barkation visibly affected the mar kets on Wall street and more than 100000 shares of his stocks changed hands. It is stated that a num- Der of American stock exchanges cabled their French represents tives to shadow Mir. Hartman and keep them posted as to his move
 
 health.
 It is given out that his new home on Tower Hill, near Arden, in New York, is ready for his re- eeption and that 300 workmen were put to work decorating the premises and the building as soon as 1t was announced that Mr. Hartman was ready to sail His new home is said to be. perhaps, the finest prl- vate residence in the United States.
 Mr. Hartman went to Europe for rest and medical treatment. his health having been broken down. The nervous strain of manipulating gigantic properties and enormous if nancial deals have made him a physical wreck and he returns, so his physicians say, to complete the treatment that has been given him in Europe
 But what does Mr Hartman s vast accumulation of wealth prof it him if he is physically unable to enjoy it? Would he not be a happier man with more health and less money Would he not show better judgment by throwing away his ambition for financial conquest and deyoting the remainder of his life to the quiet enjoyment of his already prineely fortune? What is money worth to a man if it does not bring him health. happiness and tune that makes him slave and hurries him to a premature grave Il. k. Gazette

The Sulphur Springs Star IS just ly indignant at the actions of the hoodlum element in that town. which is driving strangers away. A few weeks ago a gentleman went to that place with his family to spend the heated term. taking with him a negro servant Some of the young toughs of the town, took It into their heads that 1t would be about the proper thing to get rid of him So they proceeded to har- ass him in every way possible, ana finally the gentleman took his fam ily and departed The probabilities are he will never return to Sulphur Springs and will also use his ln- fluenee to prevent others from go- ing there The Star says this IS not the only instance in which sum mer visitors have been mistreated and it would seem that the town will have to get rid of few street loafers before it does much business in the summer-resort line

LONGING FOR RICHES.

Why should you care to be pest cred with a bank account or dis ! tressed by a large household of ser wants? Adam and Eve had neither of these, and so they called their place Paradise
 Few people have learned the true secret of living well. Too many | think it depends almost wholly on the condition of the pocketbook.
 How mistaken, Happiness is not born of material or outward conditions. It is largely the result of a purely mental pro- cess.
 How small of all that humane
 hearts endure That part which laws or kings can
 cause or cure consigned Our own felicity we make or find; i; With secret course which no loud
 storms annoy,
 Glides the smooth current of do-
 mestie joy
 Amid the duller threads of duty it is we'll to weave one brighter strand of desires.
 Mix a little sunshine with your daily food
 You can soften the sound of cab and car in the stony street by eall- ing to memory birds song heard in the fields on a summers after noon in childhood
 It is sweeter to your soul-if you have one-than is the rumble of railroad that you own your self
 Take day off and go out to some cemetery. where you may re- fleet on the breyity of life and the insufficieney of things pertaining to the pocketbook.
 comes your turn to ride out there in the big plumed hack that never hauls it's load back again.
 Don't wait till you own your private carriage or automible. Go while you are able to walk and to think
 From the dead you may learn much of life. Sean all the virtues inscribed upon all the headstones by loving hands and among them all you will not find recorded the possess ion of q million dollars, or a dock tailed horse.
 No, No, the headstones tell you only of things worth while. graveyard is as good a place as any in the wold for one to learn what the world, religious and pa gan pretty much alike. hold to be the greatest qualities, the richest pocketbook or bank account is never mentioned among them.
 It is better to live d little every day, nor refuse to accept the many simple joys that are forever nib | bling the hook, than to expect to 1 land later on some motor whale of pleasure. Memphis Scimitar.
