CAN'T FIND HAPPINESS
OLD MoNEYsAGs is BOTH A PLU.
TOcRAT AND PAUPER.
He Has Amassed Great Wealth and
Lost All That Was Best
in Him.

Dun and Bradstreet rate him rich.
His name works magic at the bank.
His check is good for millions. His
vaults are stuffed with stocks and
bonds. Bat his dollars have an actual
value of five cents each.
He is bloated with riches and writh.
ing in poverty-hes plutocrat and a
pauper at the same time.
Fate has made az ass of him-she
has given him all the cash he asked
for. but she omitted the formula that
gives it value.
He has the lock. but he can't find
the key-he doesn't know what to do
with his money
He is lineal descendant of King
Midas-he learned the golden touch.
but he can't control its power. In
his madness for millions he has trans
muted all the realities of life into use
less trash.
He placed his springtime In the
minting press-he turned all his hopes
and all his visions into coin-stamped
all the tenderness cut Of his heart
and milled the peace of his soul.
Year by year he went on amassing
wealth and just as steadily losing all
that was best in him. All that was
kindly-all that was joyous-he turned
to dross.
Now In his silver age he is yearn-
ing for his golden youth.
There is an ache that he doesn't un-
derstand-a hungry hole in his breast
where godly heritages shriyeled and
died from disusa
He can't enjoy himself-he isn't
trained for the job.
His rapacity destroyed his capacity
to comprehend the big message.
He owns yacht, but it's a drifting
argosy with dead sails-with all his
wealth he can't make It carry him
into the land of dreams.
He can't see-he cant hear-greed
has dulled his eye-made him color
blind-none of the wonders of life
has meaning.
For him the mountain SUBMITS are
bare-the flowers have died on the
slopes and the north winds have
locked the brooks and silenced the
waterfall.
He is man without illusions-a
his treasure vaults.
When you were wrapping yourself
in ideals, he was rapping our ideas.
You have only sold your services
he has put every drop of his blood in
| to the market-and the joke of 1t all
! is that he had to wait until winter be-
fore he found that every dollar Is not
the same size-that its purchasing
! power varies with the Individual.
He has overpaid. No man gets out
of existence more than his legitimate
allotment. If he gains in one direc-
ton, he loses a compensating some
thing in another way
The price of the kings crown is
heavy with heartache The meanest
subject in his kingdom can marry as
he wills, but the mightiest of mon

cient energy to defend himself.

There are two things that | want
to place before you now. The first
one is that when you Christians were
awakened to your need of a Savior
and came to Jesus, there was kindlai
upon the altar OF every one OF your
hearts. a holy fire. Has that fire
burned low and have you lost some
of the holy enthusiasms. with which
you went out to cell your brother, or
your neighbor. what BLESSED Savior
you had found, grown cold? Then
stir up the gift of God that is in
thee.
The other is. TO save ourselves and
make sure of heaven we must fan the
smoldering embers in our own life
into blaze. We must use the tai
ent that God has given -or We will
lose it. there is no other way.

TRULY A MAN OF SIMPLICITY
Furnishings of Burgher Ono
Hundred Years AGO.

We are accustomed to think Of mas
culine dress as to-day much simpler
and much less costly than a hundred
years ago This may be true. but
there were exceptions. In THE Tav-
ems and Turnpikes of Blandford" 8.
G. Wood prints an inventory Of the
clothing and household goods of Col.
Samuel Sloper. who had served his
town in the war as well as In political
matters.
Samuel Sloper was not arrayed In
kings garments. His inventory, made
in 1903, contained no mention OF sword.
not even a gun, nor buckles. nor any
silver ornaments of any kind. nor
silken stockings; only hat valued at
80 cents, one linen shirt at 40. "one
pair old velvet breeches," worth so
cents, lone fancy cotton vest" 81;
lone striped nankin vest" 33 cents:
'one pair of buff breeches," $3.50, and
one pair of wooden hose. That was
all. He must have been a man of SIM
plicity.
His household goods were plain af-
fairs, too, and seem to indicate that
he had given up the business of pub
lie host before his demise, since he
died possessed of but two bedsteads
and four dining chairs, although his
kitchen boasted of nine chairs. The
neighbors used to come in and oc-
cupy them and chat together, perhaps.
There were only half dozen knives
and forks, and other paraphernalia OF
dining room and kitchen to correspond.
