game fail when applied to him. He Is
always an exception to all rules"
rs that so?" responded the mar
whose fare had been paid.
Eyes, it's a fact. Now, take the sim
plest mathematical proposition and ap-
ply it to my son John and it won't
work out. For instance, this one: "A
farmer has s11 and pays Sc for a horse
and SO for an automobile. How much
has he left?' The answer, according
to the arithmetic, is 50. But it doesn't
work out that way in Johns case at
all.
You can give John S11 and tell him
to pay Sc for a horse and SO for an
automobile and hanged if he'll haye a
cent left! In all PROBABILITY he'll wind
up a dollar or two in debt into the
bargain.
my son John can't take $40 AID go
out and pay SS.75 worth of 6ebts with
it. Somehow or other the money just
naturally doesn't reaeh-not that any
one robs him or that he loses money.
1t is simply that his money doesn't

Now. there's George. my other
son, said the man who paid the fares.
He can take IS and pay SIS worth of
debts and come home with little
chance. 1t may not be much, but it
VIII be little. There win happen to-
be come discount or something COM
ing TO him.
"A friend OF mine who is captain on
a boat took George on a little trip on
the lakes with him and gave George
$50 for expenses. He came home with
SO and a new suit of clothes and
presents for all the family. He UNDER
