OURSELVES AND INDUSTRY
BY w. o. SCROGGS
Author of "a Century of Banking Progress" Etc.

Several years ago some Arctic ex-
plorers encountered band of Eski
mos who had never before seen white
men. The visitors offered them
money for some of their trinkets,
but this was spurned. Then one day
these simple folk saw one of the ex-
plorers use a needle and thread to
mend his clothing. They were filled
with wonder at this operation, and
were willing to part with their most
priced possessions for few needles.
Silver coins meant nothing to
them. There was no place where
they could spend them and nothing
that they could buy with them. Thread
and needles, however, meant great
deal to a people who had always
been compelled to fasten their fur
garments together by using bit of
sharpened bone and strips of raw
hide.
This little incident throws much
light on the question of the real ma
ture of wealth. To many people the
word wealth suggests merely big
amount of money, but the stock Of
money in this country is very small
part of our total wealth Vastly more
important than our gold and silver
coin and our "greenbacks" and "yel-
lowbacks" are our farms, mines, fac
tories, railways. steamships, ware
houses, office buildings, dwellings and
schools. If we didn't have these
things Our money would be of little
more use to us than it was to the
Eskimos we were just talking about.
Very few people care for money
for its own sake. We sometimes
read of misers who live like beggars
and bury a vast quantity of money
in the ground. They love money just
because it's money, but fortunately
there are not many people of that
sort in the world.

London Assurance
Commencement PLAY
At Colby College

1t has been announced at Colby
college that the college play for the
lO5th annual commencement in June
will be London Assurance" which
is supposed to have been written
by Dion l.. Boucicault. The an
nouncement was made by Miss EX-
crime l.. Flood of Waterville, who
will again personally direct the pro-
duction of the play in June. 1t was
also announced at the same time
that the call for trials would be is
sued in the course of a day or so
and trial would be held at once to
determine the personnel of the cast
for the play. After the trials. the
actual work of rehearsals will start
at once as the time is short before
the play is to be given.
There is great deal of material
in college this year and the compe-
tition for the various parts in the
play will be keen. In all of the plays
which have been given thus far this
year. the acting of the entire casts
has been far superior to the standard
set in previous years and the college
is particularly fortunate in having
so much talent of real worth to
draw the cast for the commencement
play from. Prof. Carl j. Weber, who
is directing the work Of the women
Of the college in their Ivy Day play,
has declared that there is much tall
ent of real worth among the women
of the college and that he expects 10
stage a ighly successful play ! on
Ivy Day.
London Assurance" is play
which is in much lighter vein than
have been the plays of the last few
years and it is expected to meet with
hearty approval of all who are priv
ileged to see it. Miss Flood has had
great deal OF success in her col
lege plays of the last few years and
her able coaching of the Shakesper-
ian plays as we'll as other heavy pro-
ductions and her experience and sue
cess speak we'll for the success of
this play which is to be given this
year. The play is somewhat arti-
fetal but Is the best possible eX-
ample of the difference between art
and real life. 1t is full of movement
full of life and well adapted to the
purpose.
