Mans Pitiful Desire To Be
REMEMBERED
In thousand Feeble, Foolish Ways He Strives Make HIS
NAME Lasting. Although Nothing CAN Last in
Chanqfno World

The other Chicago piece property the south
of Sedgewic street and North rented
for Of ninety nine years by Louis Mueller to Emanuel
Herzo The property $4,000 year That would
total of $495 600 for the ninety yearsbarng
cidents.
Many things win happen ninetyn years Before
the private ownership may have ended
little suberranean disturbance under Lake Michigan may have
wiped Chicago the flying machine may have done away with
cities leaving simply few great office buildings mile high
with landing places for machines And the streets and
leases of Chicago and other cities may all be forgotten
But Mr. Louis Mueller does not intend to be forgotten if
HE can help it.
The terms of the lease demand that the shall pay
$1,000 year for ninety years and also the who takes
the property agrees always maintain raised letters
lest foot high the North side of all buildings
erected there the of Louis J, Mueller"
Mr. Mueller is willing his property but he wants
be remembered
He knows probably that months from nobody will
know what particular Mr. Mueller that what he did why
his name there
But MR. MUELLER will know and his ghost will know after
And both will comfort the proud distinction
that the is in letters at least a foot high
In thousand ways mans desire to be remembered ex
presses itself Men eagerly seize the opportunity be killed
that they may be remembered as heroes.
One egoistica philosopher mystify the world
admiration and do something that others do do jumped
into the mouth volcano He must have been uncomfortable
for minutes thought he would be
forever How many remember his name? This writer the
moment uOeS not
Little children write their the sand ovesick
young gentlemen write their and that Of the adored
on the trees public
ments
Why this intense desire to be remembered this passion to
death illustrated by good Mr. Mueller of Chicago who
only his property condition that shall carry his
printed foot high?
Is only fooshness in the human mind this craving for
the immortality which is unattainable?
Not in the least There nothing useful in this world
than man Is desire TO BE REMEMBERED.
OF course the memory is passing The men consider
great to-day will be thoroughly forgotten in thousand
ten thousand years those famous thousand ten
thousand years ago.
But it an excellent thing for the human race that each
foolish feeble little individual DESIRES TO BE REMEM
BERED
We ruled THROUGH OUR OWN ATTRACTIONS AND
PASSIONS That which is good for the WE WANT
MADE to that which best for and best or
others.
And men WANT TO BE REMEMBERED BECAUSE
ORDINARILY IN ORDER TO BE REMEMBERED 1T is
NECESSARY TO DO SOMETHING BRAVE OR PERMA-
NENTLY USEFUL. And sacrifice their lives and give
away their property unsehshy and devote of
power service Of other human beings IN ORDER THAT
THEY MAY BE REMEMBERED.
1t a cheap reward, and it is fortunate thing for the
human the ma ority of it. II proves again
how ngenousy and mysteousy Providence winds and
makes US our little course as usefuly as possible
