UNIQUE SCHEME OF REVENGE
Sardonic Hunnor in Tale Of How

appeared not long ago in LHumanite.
1t is called 1.-THE Benefactor's Re
venge," and the tale is of a millionaire
in small town who was piqued be
cause he was not elected mayor. Pres
emily he died, partly of annoyance.
The funeral was magnificent, burt the
townsfolk did not attend. They dis
trusted the millionaire. Imagine the
shock of pleasure, then, when they
learned that hes had bequeathed 5000
600 francs to the municipality! 1t
was given on condition that the town
should undertake to nourish and sHs-
tain all the poor, without distinction
of age, sex or nationality, who lived
within its boundaries. At once the
popularity of the deceased took a ire
mendous jump. A philanthrOpist; be
had been misiudged. A pedestal was
prepared for his statue. Today the
pedestal still remains uncrowned A
town that was ard working and I'M
known to poverty and misery became
I the mecca for all the scamps in France.
Since the day on which the will was
proclaimed tramps, rogues and
apaches have not ceased to pour
through its gates. At last it awoke to
the dark intention of its benefactol'.--

Some folks always see things
through indigo glasses. Neither rea-
son nor evidences Of success can
change the hue. Everything is on the
road to ruin and the talk is the 2ind
that drops the bottom out of a fellows
ambitions. The only way to get peace
when they are around is to keep them
so busy that they do not have time
to use the hammer. If you can keep
their minds off themselves there is a
chance to have some good work from
them. They are often skillful enough
if YOU can only get them busy. And
as long as you can keep them busy
they have no time to think about
themselves. And YOU may be one Of
these folks. If you are, get busy and
stay busy. It's the only way 10 be
