Whoever wrote CHS got the whole
truth in a ndtshell: If you have little
farm or business and are out Of debt,
do not fret or work yourself and your
good wife into the grave for the sake
of making money. You have but life. to
five and that is very brief at best. Take
a little comfort and pleasure as you go
along day by day and try to do a little
good to others. A morbid, insatiate de-
sire to grab everything in sight is at
the foundation of more misery than al
most any one thing Wealth alone will
never keep your memory green after
you are gone-a good life and kind ac-
tons will.

cake. The structure was comparatively
new and fortunately there were no AMI
mails near to be killed or injured.
