THE FOOLS OF YESTERDAY
Are Appreciated Only After They
Arc Gone.

Among the things owned by ].
Iierpont Morgan when he died was
a small pile Of manuscript and a diary
written by Henry d. Thoreau and
never published. The appraisers Of
the Morgan estate valued them at
l12,5O0.
That is more money than poor
Thoreau ever had in all his life. He
could not have sold those manuscripts
himself for enough to buy one meal.
And yet 1t Is conceded now that Tho
rsau was one of the few great writer's
this country has ever produced. His
books, that he had to print himself
because no publisher would touch
them. now are regarded AZ classics
and are used as such In public schools
and universities.
Thoreau passed as a harmless crank
in his native village Of Concord, and
when he built little hut by Walden
pond and went to live there alone they
said he was "daffy." Now. the lit
erary world makes pilgrimages to that
sacred spot.
A great many wise men have passed
for fools. Folly often passes FOR wis
dom. and wisdom is often mistaken
for folly In this queer world. Charles
Lamb was one OF the wisest and wit
tiest OF men. but he passed for a
senseless punster. Oliver Goldsmith
was called In his lifetime an INSPIRED
idiot" and Walpole wrote OF him al
'poOr soul that had sometimes parts
though never common sense" James
Boswell passed for a fool. too. Ma
caulay wrote of him that he had "a
perfect Inconsistencies that he was
making q fool of himself to which Il
IL impossible to find parallel In the
whole history Of mankind" Richard
Steele was another great writer who
was classed rs a food.

Bert Green was tired. He had seen
