MONEY AND HAPPINESS

We can waste lot of pity on people who do not re-
qllire it or want it. One case is in mind
A mans business failed, and for all his efforts ne
could not get hold again The ill luck that pursued him
was persistent nexorabe His wife, who had graced his
prosperity was quite helpless to redeem his distress and
sadded him with blame and complainings. His daughter
made an undesirable marriage and his two sons instead
of being help and hope to him. ungratefuy relieved him
of what little property he had left.
Friends who met this on the streets experienced
that kind of embarrassment which one has in speaking to
person about heavy bereavement But such embarrass
ment really was unnecessary and uncaledfor The mans
laugh light his face was as free from lines and his
step as sprngy and eager in the days of his pamy
prosperity.
give got half dollar in my pocket" he said to g
friend with slap his thigh, "and Pm off to see the
vaudeville"
And off he went like boy without care
1t is no made-up story, but is everyday affair.
COntrasted with it, dozens of men every day,
flush with prosperity, who can hardly summon smile.
The world over the heartes laughter is heard not IN
the avenues of the rich but in the little side streets.
We are strange creatures set on end, for some un-
known reason between the earth and the stars and seek
ing happiness like benighed traveller following Will
o the Wisp
But of this we may be reasonably certain from ex-
perence and observation that the road happiness is
not paved with money
