Do Millionaires Taught
From Everybody's Magazine.


A rather garrulous millionaire Of
considerable postprandial notoriety has
confided to the public that millionaires
seldom laugh. The statement was re-
ceived as a negligible pleasantly,
whereas it is really a symbolical truth
that goes to the root of all our economic
and social evils. That millionaires habit
uaily do not laugh Is the most calamitous
factor In modern civilization.
1t is admitted that there may be many
Insignificant millionaires who are still
able to sound the clarion OF hilarfty. But
among the larger millionaires, the great
captains Of finance, to whom we par
ticularly apply the term. the springs
of mirth are unquestionabiy dry. The
writer has had the opportunity to meet
and observe many OF these gentlemen
but on only one occasion has lac been
able to catch one in the act Of laughing
The millionaire in question was presidin 2
at a dinner of the simplifed spelling
board at the time. so that the proyoca-
ton was undoubtedly extraordinary. The
instance does not effect the rule.
