EASY TO GET RICHES
SIMPLY MATTER OF SLEEPING
WHILE MONEY AccUMULATEs.
Some Difficulties in the Way, But as
Matter of Theory the Thing Is
About as Simple az Can
Be Made.

We have heard much Of get rich
quick" schemes, but few of us have
found them to be of practical value.
They are fine ideas, but they do not
work Now, a nice get rich slow"
scheme ought to succeed. A few days
ago a man gave a certain city thou
sand dollars and told that city not to
use it for $50 years. At the end of
that time it will be something more
than nineteen million dollars II the
man who told the story figured it
right. There could not be an easier
way to be a millionaire than that. Just
hang around $50 years and the money
Is yours.
or course none of us could possibly
wait SO long for so much money I'M
less we were asleep, and that Is just
the point. Somebody ought to fix up
an easy sort of a near poison which
would put us to sleep and the thing
would be done. That should not be
difficult. Such thing must have been
done at one time, because we all know
that whole kingdom was asleep for
ever so long, and might still be asleep
if foolish youth had not wakened
Beauty, and nobody else would stay
asleep after Beauty was awake. And
even in our own time, or at least much
closer to it, there was Rip Van Wrinkle,
who slept for 20 years. If he had not
been SO shiftless, and had put little
money in the bank before he went to
sleep he might have been comfortable
for the rest Of his life.
And so, If everybody who had a
thousand dollars would put it in the
bank and take some sleep generator
he could wake up in $50 years or 200
years or hundred years, according to
how rich he wanted to be, and would
be millionaire. Even If person did
not have thousand dollars to begin
with he could in the end have few
millions. OF course if everybody was
going to be rich it might not be so
much fun. but we would get used to it
after a while. There would not be
any trouble about getting somebody
to stay awake and take care of the
banks, for great many people have
entirely too much money already and
great many more would not take
chances of losing what they had even
for $20,OOO,OO0.
There is just one serious drawback
to the scheme, and that may make it
impossible. What are we going to do
about the cost of living? Two hun.
dred and fifty years is a long time
and the cost of living would grow so
much in that time that $19,OO0,OO
would look like 10 cents instead of
like thousand dollars. And no pow
er on earth can ever put the cost of
living to sleep.-New York Times.

Not Used to "Hiqh LIfe.v

An old farmer was in London visit
ing his son, who had got on in the
world, and who kept a large house,
servants, etc.
When the two sat down to dinner
the first night a manservant waited
upon them, and was most assiduous
in his attentions to the old farmer.
After watching his antics for bit the
guest exclaimed:
What the mischief are ye dancin'
about like that for? Can we not draw
in yer chair and sit down? I'm sure
there's enough here for the three OF
us."-London Mail.
