LIVING RICH, DYING POOR"

When the man was waiting for his train in the depot the
other night he overheard a discussion between three men of per-
haps 80 years of age. One was being jolied for his stinginess
and thrift. He was taking it seriously and arguing that "every-
body gets old sometime and can't work" One of his companions
remarked, well l amt saving a cent but I'd rather live rich and
die poor than live poor and die rich"
Sounds cute doesn't it? Catchy turn of words don't you think?
SententiOus and all that = rather Give rich and die poor than
live poor and die rich" E-pigrammatic and all that. Snappy.
But, Lord help the man, does he know what it means to
"die poor?" To drag out the last few years of life in poverty and
utter heplessness, the recipient of grudging charity" so called
To be neglible to other men and women except as a liability and
a burden. To eat the bitter bread of charity in utter helplessness.
Smart talk all right. Sounds bold and pert while the blood runs
free and the muscles snap into action at the command of the
will. But he doesn't know.
1t would do that man good if he were to know more about
the old people who die very poor through misfortune or lack of
thrift. If he could realize the humiliation and helplessness that
looks out of their eyes; could know the fearful gratitude for
help, that gratitude that one sees in the eyes of a hurt and
wounded animal when it turns to its rescuer; if he realized the
dumb agony of it all that smart sentence would lose its smartness.
The man is selfish. The impression that he has no doubt
that he is a liberal fellow isn't true. First if he had seen and
noted the condition he fippantly refers to he wouldn't use the
phrase. Chances are that he isn't making any personal calls on
He'd have known. And when he slammed the thrifty man he
threw a rock at the very people who must, in human kindness and
with human responsibility care for him when he "des poor"
There comes a time in most mems lives when they must retire
