HAPPINESS IN ONES WORK
Only In Proper Employment Can
There Be Found tho Real
Joy Of Life.

The Joy of life is the Joy of work

but, oh, their work! Wives, notable
for housekeeping, for wise mother
hood. or the particular kind of social
helpfulness in which women so shine.
burn incense of affection to their
lords, yet have constant delight in
their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work
from the start which gets the warmth
or their heart as much as their
strength and muscle and activity Of
brain. But there are far too many
who snatch at any employment and
find themselves condemned to 1t.
They sweat and groan and so add to
their unhappiness. They butt their
heads against stone walls and then
wonder at the bruises.
Let's preach a bit If the work is
not to ones first liking try to make
It so. Complaining will do no good;
sulking embitters. Put the best that's
in you in the Job, and it's dollars to
doughnuts that the job will pay you
back. 1t will grow easier and more
agreeable. In time a genuine liking
for it may be developed. And then
will come the best of happiness.

100 CATS NEAR
DEAD MANS BODY
HERMIT WHO KEPT MANY FELINE
PETS FOUND DEAD IN
HUT.
BARRED KIN FROM HOUSE
Old River Man Who Once Used Revolt
yer to Keep Surgeons from AM
putating Legs Expires Amid
Strange Surroundings.

st. Louis, Mo.-Sourrounded by a
hundred purring cats, which he had
loved, petted and fed when he had
not strength to care for himself, Capt.
John Tollerton Massey, one of the old
est steamboat men in the country,
was found dead in his hut, No. 1907
Papin street
Capt. Massey had lived alone since
the death of his wife two years ago
and refused to be taken to hospital
or to allow relatives or friends to
visit him. He had been able to get
around with difficulty previous to his
last illness, owing to injuries sus-
tanned when he was thrown from a
Carriage at Bismarck, S. D., in 1885,
while he was steamboating in that
part of the country. He was also
thrown from a street car about two
years ago and never entirely re-
covered.
While he was in the hospital the
physicians attempted to amputate his
legs, both of which had been broken,
but he refused to allow them to ad-
minister an anesthetic and slept with
a pistol under his pillow, which he
drew on the surgeons every time they
approached him.
To add to his troubles, about this
time the Col. Macleod, which had been
put in charge of another man, was
damaged so badly as to be no longer
fit for service. The boat had been
drawn onto the ways for repairs when
the boat of rival company which
had been locked shortly before broke
anchor and stove the Col. Macleod
A suit was filed and won by Baker
& Massey and the money paid to the
estate of Baker, who had died mean
time. This caused another suit
against the heirs of Baker, which is
still in the St. Louis circuit court.
When his wife died Massey rented
his house, reserving two rooms on
the premises for himself and his cats.

Reserving Two Rooms on the Prem
ises for Himself and Cats.

He had cut hole in the back door Of
his apartment through which his pets
might pass in and out.
Dozens of these pets were sitting
around the yard mewing plaintively
the day after Capt. Massey's death,
while they looked wistfully at the hole
in the door, which had been closed
when their master was taken away.
Capt Massey was born in Franklin
county, Mo-, July 8, 1927. He came
from an old Virginia family, which
furnished many distinguished men
during the revolutionary and war of
1912. His father, Peter Massey, was a
lieutenant in the war of 1912, and one
of the stanchest fighters of the Black
hawk war.
