Now that John d. ROckefeIler's
wealth has reached a billion dollars,
there are many angles from which
one may view the pile in an effort
to obtain a faint idea of what such
a sum really means For instance,
if the total sum were in silver dol
lars stacked as such coins usually
are stacked the pile would be PAS
miles high. To count the total
amount into dollars would require
.3l.25O tons of silver and would need
.2.OS3 freight cars drawn by 104 To-
comotives to haul it to the mint. If
a person had the entire sum before
him and started 10 count ii dollar

duire more than eighteen years. The

Therefore, if Mr.. Rockefeller's
wealth in 81 billse done up into 200
about 1890 men 70 lift it, In the
United states there are about 100
million persons and IN the entire
world there are considerably less
than billion people. To the former
Mr.. Rockefeller would be able TO
give $40 each from his fortune and
more than 90 cents 10 every person

To Hetty Green the extravagance
of Americans, poor as well as rich,
was sinful folly Thrift with her was
a religion practiced with the zeal of
a fanatic. In possession of unlimited
means. she denied herself the ordi-
nary comforts and pleasures. She
made of her life a protest against
the wasteful expenditure Of money
and a rebuke to those who yielded
to the weakness of seIf-indulgence at
the expense OF sound theories for
the amassing Of wealth.
: But the lesson on thrift which she
delighted in offering was largely lost
because she made frugality hateful.
A virtue wearing the look OF mean

stead of attracting. Whatever is ad-
mirable in it is Obscured by its ugli-

Thrift in that guise does not APP
peal TO the seIt-respect of the aver
age man and woman. It is a vice,
not a virtue, a mere dollar idolatry
that robs life Of all decent rewards
and makes the boarding of money
the worthiest Of human achieve
ments.

DIT James ]. Walsh Of the Fordham University
School Of Medicine speaking treatment Of tuber-
culoss says:
"It cannot be insisted too emphatically that
there is never time in the course of the dis
ease when physician is justified in saying to
patient suffering from any form of tuber-
culosis that his is hopeless Practically
every town in this country a number
cases in which patients we're told by phys-
clans that there hope, and yet
lived to chronicle as often as they get the
chance the fact that they outlived their
physician.
There are cases in which the prognosis is so
unfavorable be almost hopeless There
cases of which it should be said
there hope. When patients are told as
they so often are that they incurabe. alb

Experienced physicians agree that it is the same with
most other diseases. Hope a potent in the
cure of human ailments that FULL medicinal value has
never been realized. The expectation OF life, even
when 1t is merely passive, is infinitely favorable
to recovery than the expectation of death
The fear of death is apt bring its own realization
when a weakened body gives a chance. People
have often foretold their death died on the
very day they named. And it has been asserted no
doubt truly that such do necessarily ndi-
cate fOrekhOwledge something to occur but rather
indicate that the fixed belief that death approaching
is itself responsible for deaths arrival.
As for the active will live" every doctor recog-
nzes in that the vital, decisive contribution that
can be added to his treatment AND in perfectly
frank and honest mood the doctor likely to admit
that in the majority of cases active hope of recovery
without his medicines be better than the med
icines without the hope.
1t is this principle that forms the bases of all
cures.

this very odd idea has been a great
task for our leaders. Gradually the
necessity for some regular form Of
sick dues was recognized and such
systems were adopted in the lodges.
Then came the education for a regu.
lar method of alleviatinng the dis
tress caused by the death of the fam
lily head and the present Masonic Re-
lief Department has evolved. The
idea of a burial fund supported by
the entire jurisdiction was later seen
to be equally as logical, and its re-
cent adoption has given the last link
in the chain of a rational system of
practical brotherhood and substantial
sympathy. The unit of the Masonic
family is no longer centered in the
lodge. It is recognized in the whole
jurisdiction. Whatever effects a
brother affects all others of the craft,

Years
of Masonry
Chapter a..
BY Joe E. Hereford, p. N.

Chapter a..
In making a general survey of the
first half century, of Masonry in Mis-
souri, n cannot help but note GER
tain phases of development which
stand out most conspicuously. In the
first place it may be noted that in
matters of instruction the moral ten
cts of the Order have been given
great prominence. This is due in a
measure to the fact that ~theearliest
as well as many of the later teachers
and leaders of the craft have been
ministers of the gospel, who natur-
ally exemplified the importance of
lofty moral ideals and correct prin-
ciples in social intercourse. If there
has yer been any ground for the

same time a ~professed Christian. The
race is naturally emotional and the
influences of religious feeling have
been most easily propagated and
most strongly felt in every relation
of life.
There can be no doubt, either, but
that Masonry has done a great deal
toward the higher development of
home instincts among our people in
the state. Industry is one of the
most tangible points in the life of a
Mason, and it is a general feeling
among the brotherhood that a man
who will not apply himself at some
form of honest livelihood is not fit
for the enjoyment of the society. This
idea has been educative as well as
restraining and the result has been
felt in the desire to acquire property
and to encourage the fundamental no
tions of family life. 1t naturally fol
lowed that a Mason should be mar
ried, and that hhe should rear a fam
lily of educated children.

temperance a constant theme in their
teachings, and this has had a most
salutary effect upon the lives of the
brethren. For a Mason to be seen
drunk has ever been regarded as a
cardinal infraction of our laws and
violently opposed to u most sacred
principles. Even at our annual on
ventions upon which occasions men
are apt to give way to considerable
conviviality theere has never been
any extreme in this respect among
the Masons, and such moderate in
diligence as may have existed has
been carefully kept out of sight and
carefully regulated. From the very
outset the Masons set up such high
claims of rectitude that general so
ciety assumed a censorship so strong
that the claims had to be lived up to
and the professions carried out Thus
Masonry helped society and society
helped Masonry.
At first men were attracted to the
work of the craft largely on account
of its ancient mysticisms, it's veneer
able history and its interesting le-
gends. Very little attention was paid
to any financial or material benefits
to be derived directly from the re-
sources of the organization. So-called
sick dues were mostly voluntary and
help even in hours Of distress was
left to the option and disposition of
the more fortunate. Nor was such
help ever very lavishly bestowed, but
the system encouraged a form of
stinginess and Indifference quite at
variance with the high claims of love
and benevolence which the doctrines
inculcate. AS time passed, however,
and other initiative societies sprang
into existence emphasizing financial
benefits and protective measures and
setting up a strong competition in
matters effecting membership our
order was naturally moved to greater
activity in this regard. Our leaders
hurriedly went to work formulating
plans of benefits which would meet
the approval of the craft at large and
not prove too severe upon those who
still held to the old doctrine that
Masonry should be free from all ma
terial considerations. To overcome
