Getting rich Is a peculiar game be-
cause everybody loses and nobody wins.
Some men lose health and others reputa-
ton. Some lose a happy and carefree
youth, while others lose their patriotism.
Some mislay their wives and families In
their mad enthusiasm, while practically
all players lose their ability to dis.
tinguish between the laws and a good
lawyer who viii obey orders and no
questions asked.
Nobody wins in this game because no
body really gets rich. As soon as a man
has got $4,000 and can afford to wear
two clean collars a week, he discovers
that $4,000 is the winning mark. When
he makes $4,000 he learns how to be
come a millionaire. When he gets his mill
lion he is so embarrassed m the company
of the real plutOcrat that he bushes
whenever he thinks of his pile. And Just
as he has accumulated Sl00000O00 and
has perfected plans for taking over the
earth in a limited liability company,
Death scythes him down and his bright
prospects are everlastingly blighted-
Getting rich is a more fatal game than
pugilism, dueling, OF playing with match
es in a powder mill, but nobody objects
to it. Some of us would if we were not
too busy-getting rich.

Aud Lang Syne
BY Walt Mason

- BY hulr Mason
As we grow old and sere and cold,
we're prone to brood and pine Ger ways
and vanished days and things Of auld
lang Syne. "The world, I wis" so we
insist, becomes each day more punk;
there is no truth In modern youth, and
all men deal in bunk. No gifted potes
sing golden notes that every heart can
feel; no speaker makes the welzin
quake like those who used to spiel. No
Greeley now, with bullying brow, wields
trenchant pen and ink, producing screeds
the whole world reads and then sits down
to think. No Susan B. do mortals see
among the suffrage ranks; her tongue is
stilled, her place is filled by futile fe-
male cranks. No Edwin Booth eXpOUnds
the truth concealed in Shakspere's
PLAYS: but on the stage there rant and
rage a lot of tin horn jays. The worlds
a ounce, that was, long since, a peach
almighty fine; we backward turn and
sigh and yearn for days Of auld lang
syne." In fifty years the laughing dears
who hear us mourn, I trOw, viii sing
the praise of bygone days just as we're
doing now. "The year ID" they'll say,
I ween, "was such a golden yearl And
mighty men were forward then, such as
no more are here! Where e'er we gaze
we see cheap Jays where once the men
were fine; and so we sigh Tor days gone
by, the days of auld lang syne!"

On Getting Rich
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF sAt Good Old SIwash."

- ETTING rich Is the great American
game. The season lasts twelve
months each year, Sundays IN
Guided, and the players include prac-
ticallv all the citizens able to distinguish
the salient points Of difference between
a dollar and a stick Of candy.
The getting rich game Is played on
all kinds of fields. Some men play it
for sixty years on a flat top desk, while
others use a 10000 acre farm and still
others small green baize covered table.
There are no standard implements for
playing the game either. Some men use
a stock ticker. some a Irvine binder and
some the small but eloquent pocket in
stu1ment of conversation, which can
make eight speeches with one loading.
Some men play the game by betting a
thousand dollars on horse race in the
hope Of accumulating another thousand.
Others .0refer to save ND $4,000 and in
vest it all in a rubber company IN the
hopes of getting spinal trouble while try
ing to lug home the dividends In both
cases the principle Is the same, but in
the former the end comes more speedily
and is comparatively painless.
Getting rich Is a sort Of catch-as- catch
can game. There are no rules to speak
of. Generally speaking, in polite circles
it Is not proper to club a man while tax
ing his money away from him. But this
Is only because more convenient methods
have been perfected The coarse hold-up
man who beats his victim with a gas
pipe while subduing him is looked upon
with great scorn by the soft spoken cap
tain of skindustry who sells the same
victim a little preferred stock and then

A Timely Discovery.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
am 20 and for the past seven
months have loved a girl very much
and have taken her to several amuse-
ment places. I treated her like my
own sister and always let her have her
own way. She is II and considered
pretty. The reason am writing to
YOU is that I have failed to care much
for her for the past three weeks. L
am thinking I do not love her as
much as ] used to. j. NJ X.
That is not a serious discovery for
a youth of 20 to make concerning his
feelings for a girl of II. If you no
longer love her, YOU owe it to her TO
step aside and give some other man
a chance. The next time be more sure
of Yourself
