Saturday last from his brother. Mr.
PA Tolley, who has been resident

Dayton, Ohio, April Z, 1913.
My Dear Brother
Your favor,of the 3rd just receiv-
ed today. Needless to say we were
quite glad to hear from you and still
sladder to be alive so as to receive
your letter. Have had many letters
and kilograms within the last few
days from our friends and relatives
scattered over the land asking con-
cerning our lives. We have really
not answered more than half of them,
as we have been in too much trouble
to think of the living and prosperous
ones: however, we feel that you and,
in fact. each of the immediate fami-
iy,should at least have a line from US.
New, as to the disaster that swept
Dayton two weeks ago tonight, can
only say that it was too horrible to
describe. We were fortunate enough
to live just high enough to miss the
food, although we moved out of our
home for the night, going about one
mile to the highest hill in the county.
By morning the water receded about
two feet without getting even to our
door, though l should say that the
water covered about three-ffths OF
the city. varying in depth from to
as much as 25. feet. Our store on
Main street was all washed away, at
that point the water being about 10
feet deep and a current equal to Nj
agra Falls. Every plate glass in the
city was broken. Every store in the
city was flooded except some OF the
small groceries on the extreme outer
edge. About the only personal loss
i had was my favorite driving horse
which was drowned in the business
section with about l 500 others. The
man who owns our store roum lost
105 horses, being the largest livery

is no way of describing the conditions
here now; no press reports could ev-

ever, they have over estimated the
death loss. We are now assured by
the authorities that the death list
will not exceed 400, but it is the

Making a Business Of Life.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The WiSeSt man or woman is the one
who makes business of living.
The supreme thing for each human
being is life; the supreme task is living.
There are business men so busy they
have no time for the only business worth
while. to wit living. Some of them have
ten how to live.
| know certain woman whose days
are so full she is constantly occupied
with her social engagements. Every
night finds her tired out. and she does
not live at all: she is too busy.
There are pleasure seekers. excitement
hunters, VINO are SO occupied in search
ing for amusement they cannot live: they
exist, waiting from thrill to thrill in the
torments Of boredom.
The laboring classes have their real
grievance in this: That so much of their
vital force is expended in making liv-
ing that they have no strength left with
which to live.
What is life? 1t is the normal express
sion of ones personality. 1t is the free
functioning of ones self.
In proportion as this functoning or
expression is stopped the soul withers.
1 know a business man who is dead
active and very much admired. He rises
early and arrives at his, office before his
clerks. All day long he is as tense at
his affairs as If he were fighting bees
He has kept this up for over thirty years
The result is that he is no longer q hui
man being. He is sort OF a pianola.
His success has dehumanized him as
much as if he had spent those thirty
years in the ponitcntiary. lie says he
does not want a vacation The truth is
he could not take u vacation. If he did
he would die.
now. | know another millionaire who
makes a business of living | will tell
you about him. At the age of forty or
more he found his body going to pieces.
He rearranged his diet and his physical
gets the ma Ximum of efficiency from his
flesh, blood and nerves. He has a great
business and works at it enough to keep
it successful. Having attained the top
notch of business success, he addressed
himself to higher values and began to
exercise himself in the more essential
matters of life. He turned his surplus
profits back into his business. applying
them to increasing the welfare of his
employees. He interested himself in So
cial and moral betterment. He was seized
with the wish to help all men and women
as far as in him lay. His whole person
ality, therefore-body, mind and soul
are functioning normally. Hence ne Is
100 years. For instead of sacrificing his
life to business he has made business
Of life.
For what shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own
life?'
