Protect Your Old Age.

account We must realize that the
respect with which we are treated. the
consideration that IS shown us, even
the affection of our children is in di-
rect ratio TO what We have to leave
in our wills.
This may sound cynical. but no one
will dare dispute its truth. Between
grandpa without a penny, grandpa
who must be fed and clothed and
housed. and grandpa with a fat wal
let. grandpa from whom a stream Of
presents continually flows, there is a
great gulf fixed
After all life Is run on a barter, give
and-take plan, and so * Is not unfair
that when we are old. and can add
nothing to the pleasure Of others by
our responsibility, We should pay our
way in good coin of the realm
Human nature is selfish and des-
perately avaricious. and ones own
children are just as selfish and lust
as money grabbing as everybody
else is. This is why any man and
woman who turn over all their prop
erty to their children deserve to be
sent to a senile asylum; for they are
so imbecile they know not what
they do.
As long as father and mother have
money they are going to have duti-
full children and respectful in-laws,
but when there is nothing more to
be gained by paying attention to a
poor old feeble minded man or
woman. who has let a grating son
and daughter wheedle him or her
out of every cent, what's the use in
bothering with him or her any
more? None whatever.
Let parents remember this: If
your children really love you and
appreciate you they will not want
to take your money away from you.
They will want you to enjoy it, and
have the blessed peace of independ-
ence in your soul and il they are not
the right sort of children and are so
anxious for your money that they
cannot wait for you to die TO get it.
then hang on 10 your property to the
last gasp. for il is the only way that
you can assure yourself even a pre-
tense of affection from your sons
and daughters.
II you would avoid miserable old
age. save up enough money to see
you through ii comfortably. There
are pockets even in shrouds.

Once upon a time Nurse Jane Fuzzy
wuZzy promised Baby Bunty. the
little rabbit girl. who lived with Uncle
Wiggily, to take her down to the
fifteen and sixteen cent store and
buy Bunty a new hat.
But at the late minute Nurse Jane

"Tu take Baby Bunty TO the FIVE

Uncle wiggily. "I'll help her get a

little rabbit girl. who had been found
in a hollow stump.
So Nurse Jane went over to Mrs.
Wibblewobble's and Uncle Wiggily

store-no. I'm wrong-it was the nine
teen and twenty. Baby Bunty skipped
on ahead. running two and fro. jump
