MY name is Thomas Twltmoe

tious.
That is why during the summer,
Whlle l am not in harvard, acquiring
AnoWledge, | am always hunting up jobs
with the object of acquiring money.
sometimes | think, as we are taught in
college, that knowledge is better than
money, but not very often.
knowledge will often enable you to
cut out your, friend with some peach,
but nothing will buy her an ice cream
soda except money.
However, as l was saying, every sum-
mer l hunt up a job that will bring me
in few plunks, as l have made up my
mind to become millionaire People
say it's easy after you get the first
thousand dollars, but it seems to me
that with a thousand dollars you have
more chances to lose your money. If
YOU have only 81 you're not asked to in
vest it in ice farms in Greenland or
pricklY pear farms in Honduras.
When you stake your only thousand
dollars and lose it. you're just as broke
as if you'd bet your last dollar and
lost it,
But must tell you about my first
Job

was because waiting seemed so easy
and ] had read walters made as high
as $50 day in tips. Also when l got
the job the boss told me | could wear
