However, this was not Satisfactory:
The feast of a contented mind was
not spread there.
So the decision came to seek the
FEAST by
Working in both fields.
To-day in the busy financial marts
OF our great city | rub elbows with
men
10 whom the call money rate,
The Federal Reserve discount rate
The financial standing of corporation
Or the value of the collateral deposited
against loan
Are the All in All of life.
And as surely as the preacher said,
VANITY, vanity, all is vanity"
So may | deride the moneymad
fnancier.
And then perhaps in the evening when
I am talking
With some professors whose minds are
Considering their lot in life,
AS is the mind of the provincial farmer
who hides
His money in his bed,
And l hear their complaints about the
poor scholarship of the American
students,
And how hard it is to interest them in
anything except that which has a
dollar sign before it,
And the usual talk about low salaries
and the H. G. L.,
begin to think that neither the COL
lege professor with his ideals and
his ideas
Nor yet the $4,000 a year banker is
very happy.
Extremes do not make for happiness.

My father, seventy,
Who has never known indigestion or
financial worry, or fear of being
bald,
Or subway jams, or impolitencss, or
anything
Which so worries our Busy New York
Public.
And even as I am sitting here at nv
Desk, thinking through some intricacv
OF finance that will mean much gain
recall that happy December dav in
1908
When my father, my brothers and /
killed and dressed
-Four beautiful shoats; and AZ tho pork
tenderloin
Was being cut away and our lips were
smacking.
l laughed hearty laugh
with my brothers when our parent
smiled and said again:

1t must be a dreadful thing to he

attend lecture.
With those who believe in sn;r;t
communication We are not in accord.
But we are in close enough touch with
the spirits of departed authors whose
heirs receive royalties on their books
to know that these departed authors
are pretty sore at the craze that is
driving people to buy so many spiritis-
tic books.
With all the verbose talk induced
IN by active members Of the eyer-so-
human race, we can't understand why
Sir Oliver Lodge and the others want
to talk with spirits, too.
