GOOD WISHES
BY FORTUNE FREE.

- OMEONE said that the richest
- person was the one who was
\ fullest of good wishes for others
and who received their good
wishes in return. Wishing others well
did him or her all the good in the
world, and the good wishes in return
were powerful for good. Don't we find
it so ourselves? No one can do with
out them. They are our dearest pos
sessions.
Montague Williams, the celebrated
British barrister, once related the story
Of rather unlovely old gentleman Of
miserly habits and rejoicing in the
nickname amongst the urchins Of the
neighborhood of "Old Pickbones." Cen
crosby was not one of his virtues, and
If he wished any human creatures well
he Kept it asecret to himself. He was
man who seemed impervious to all
good wishes-a solitary old grudger
who cared nothing for the good or the
bad wishes Of any human creature.
When he died, however, it turned out
that he had been by no means as thick
skinned as he seemed. He left will
In which he bequeathed money to diff
ferent persons, and ten thousand
pounds to some unknown individual
whom he directed his solicitor to dis
cover If possible. That person had
been accustomed to send him yearly
an anonymous post card with Just,
"Best wishes at this time to you.'
The writer gave no clue as to who
he was. Did the old gentleman tear
the cards up or throw them into the
fire? Not bit of it. He had carefully
preserved them-tied them up in a
nice packet. eff the writer can be dis
covered" he ordered in his will, II
