Young Henry Livingston Bacon sat hunched
up in a deep chair dazed by the change In his
fortunes.
Yesterday he wondered where he was to get
the money TO pay his room rent. Today he
could buy the whole apartment house. grounds
and furnishings, together with all the neighbor'
ing property for couple OF blocks in both d.
rections.
II was incredible.
As though reconstructng an elusive dream. he
recalled the even tones OF the lawyer whose
Office he had so recently left.

late uncle. At his death the principal and in
terest became yours by virtue of trust agree.

estate to you he retained the income during his
lifetime H..

Bacon remembered how he had been struck

impressive.

that after the payment of all taxes claims and
debts, the fortune you inherit will reach very

The lawyer paused here to note the effect. He
then added evenly:
'Fifteen million dollars" He allowed himself
the shadow of smile. ut ought to be enough
to keep the wolf from the door,
Fifteen millions! Instead Of keeping the wolf
from the door it would probably draw many
to it.

Minister Crihciises
Attitude Of Movie
Stars Toward Life

Criticising the attitude of the
movie stars toward life. as shown in
the recent party given by Fatty Ar
buckle, Rev. Arthur Attack told his
congregation at the Hanscom Park
Methodist church that life cannot be
spelled as Pleasure" Fame
Business" or Culture"
"There are a good many people
in Omaha who spell fife Business"
the pastor declared. Business will
never satisfy mans heart, accord
ing to DR.. Attack.
"Fame is really hollow thing-a
joke. Even William Jennings
Bryan was not recognized at Zion
City when he passed through there
recently"
Much. of the so-calied culture" is
a false and dangerous thing, said
Mr.. Attack. Time is wasted on It
by many Omaha women.
THE real spelling of life is 'Serv-
ice. Paul said. Life is Christ"
