Which is sad, but not uncommon.
But this man. mind you, was no poor.
-miserabiy paid worker who was bare
~ able to keep soul and body together
and who threw up his hands because
he had never had a fair chance
For years he had received large
salary large.
Had he exercised reasonable econ
omy and foresight respecting his
finances he easily might have provided
4or the rtrrovefbial rainy day. Instead,
he and his family had lived at "the top
Of the. pot" They occupied luxurious
apartments and denied themselves
nothing.
A crash was due.
When the big income stopped the
family fell in one week from plenty to
pauperism.
And this man knew all the time. He
knew the day would come when he
would step across the dead line which
marked his usefulness to his firm and
that his salary would stop.
Strange. Is 1t not, that a man will
face the certainty Of disaster and come
to the day Of wrath without an effort
to save himself or his family?
He sported with fate.
And he Is type. There are a lot Of
people like him who receive big SAL
aries and stand always on the verge of
ruin. They live up to every cent Of
their income. And In some cases they
spend 1t In advance.
Which is unfair to others.
Somebody must bear the burden Of
the support Of these people when they
70 thus blithely and unthinking to
their end. Even when the head Of the
family tries to cut the Gordian knot by
cutting his throat there Is the family.
