any especial precaution in pre-
serving the lives of thirty dollar
a-week clerks, proceeded to d.

cycles and engaging in other
dangerous amusements in which
they found the keenest enjoy

And il never occurred to either
one of them that in SO doing
they were disproving, in the
most conclusive manner, their
own theory that wealth brings
happiness, and the more money
people have the more fun they
get out of living. For the mere
fact that we are poor enough and
inconspicuous enough to do as
we please without its making a
particle Of difference to the bal
ance of the world, or calling for
headline in a newspaper, means
liberty, which is the very foun-
dation stone of happiness, and
that is a luxury that the poor
rich man never knows.
Certainly, however, the vast

friendship That's the choic-
est pleasure in life, but it's re-
served exclusively for the delight
OF the poor. No rich man has
any friends, because experience
OF toadies and sycophants has
taught him to be so suspicious of
everybody that he trusts nobody
and believes in the sincerity of
no one.
Lover A paradise before
which Cupid stands with a
golden sword. and turns the mil
lionaire away. No rich man may
ever even hope to be loved for
himself alone. He is the prey
of the adventures, of the avari-
cious, the scheming woman who
is willing to sell her Soul for
money and position. How little
domestic happiness is found in
the homes of the very rich the
divorce court records prove.
The truth is that money
doesn't buy happiness, and the
man with a moderate income
can get far more pleasure out of
living than the millionaire can.
Which is comforting thought
for the vast majority of us who
are engaged in the exciting and
pleasurable sport of chasing the
wolf from the door.
