Dollar! to dimes It is money, easy
money, tin easier the better.
What do we want money for?
Merely to spend There are some, of
course, who want It Just for the sake
t having it, but the nverage individual
wunts it to spend. He thinks he wants
to live high and flue and be sporty.
What has been the fate of the aver-
age young man who has had all the
uoney he wanted to spend?
A full pocket generally leads to
puce thnt kills.
Only those who have earned their
money know how to care for It, and
.o use it to the best advantage.
This Is the best world there is for
urn an beings. There may be better
ones for spirits or other forms of life,
but none better for spirits encumbered
sith the mortal coll.
This world may have been made for
man, or he may be nothing more than
one of the Incidents of creation. There
Is much that leads to the latter con- j
elusion. None of the various phenoin- j
