AS VIEWED BY PHILOSOPHER
Happness Not Always to Those Who Make Great Catches In the
 Worlds Fish Pond.

We have seen men absorbedly fish ing for wealth, and We imagine that when they fail to get it they are de- feated and disappointed Neither one. The only men who are defeated in this worldly fish pond are the ones who haul up great bags of gold on their hooks. They are very soon bur dened with the catch, and unable to march comfortably farther along the road. The only disappointed ones are those who have no real purpose in life, and suppose that fishing is an end in itself.
 l had a great-uncle once who died quite happy and bankrupt. Through out his fife he was jubilantly full of schemes for making fortune. But if his patent flouring mill had ever suc- ceeded or his method for tanning leather had brought him wealth. so that he had been obliged to have two houses and 20 servants and several suits of clothes and bills and accounts and lawsuits, I am sure he would have died miserable.
 Unfeeling and misunderstanding persons are forever pitying the old maids, and especially those who seem to be always angling for men. But such behavior seems to me quite in, telligible and quite pardonable-espe cially if they never catch anything. Having begun this game in early life, earlier than 1 began fishing, and hay ing founded it on instincts even deep CT than mine they would be silly in- deed now to give up so good a sport just because they have found other, and possibly more important, objects in Suburban Life.

This was the "verum ikon' (the true image) celebrated in Christian legend, and the name Veronica bestowed upon the saint was simply an anagram of those two words
