TOLD HER LIFE'S AMBITION
Small Girl Somewhat Crudely Ex
pressed Her Desire to De a
Teacher When She Grew Up.
At one time or another during tho
ward school Hfo of a little girl thero
prevails tho ambition to become a
teacher. Perhaps it is the indisputable
.authority possessed by the hand that
wields the rules or the nonchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surrounded
by the most' inaccessible difficulties
)o the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always toll their ambitions to
r well liked teacher, and one rather
surprising declaration was given by a
Httlo maid In one of Miss Clara Town
send's room before sho became princi
pal of the James school.
Among tho special favors coveted
by the youngsters 1b tho permission
to Btay behind aftor Bchool and clean
the blackboards. One evening a little
girl was given tho desired privilege,
nnd while ' engaged in the task sho
struck up a shy sort of conversation
with Miss Townsend. Finally the
usual confession was made.
"When I grow up, I am going to be
a teacher," she announced.
"That so?" pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend. "And why do you want
to be a. teacher?"
"Well," was the rather surprising
answer, "I'll havo to be either a
teacher or a lady, and I would rather
be a teacher." Indianapolis News.

SAYS MONEY NO GUARANTEE OF WORTH
J. Ogaen Armour ot Chicago, who
Is himself worth numerous millions,
does not think much of money. That
Is, money In his philosophy Is a guar
anty neither of worth nor charactor
and Is by no means that touchstone of
happiness which it is gonerally sup
posed to bo, particularly by thono
without it. Also, ho observed that
tho poor man has as much chanco o
be happy as the rich man.
Incidentally, Mr. Armour said that
ho was nothing more than a working
man, and a hard working man nt that.
Mr. Annor said: "Maybe you
don't think I work I Why. every man
must work If he Is worth a million,
If he Is worth n hundred millions or
If ho Is dependent on his weekly sal
ary. We ought nil to take our places

"You know money doesn't mean
everything. In fact, vtiry Httlo In
some cases, for the full valuo of It Is
not gained. Take the sons of some rich
drinking nnd otherwise.
"I nm tho son of n working man I
tramped from tho Atlantic to tho Dutch

live.
"Sometimes a poor man 1b far and away better oft than n rich man.
I watch my men. I know the lives of many of JJiem. That doesn't mean only
tho men who are close about me, but tho men In my plant. Soma with only
a moderate salary are far happier than men to whom the worth of a bank
means no more than n box of cigars In valuo to tho ordinary person. 'De
cause a man has money, that does not make him nny better.
"Dut, let mo toll you something right hero. . I have no rich men working
