LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.
No Man Should Spend the Whole o.
II is Income.
Is any one too poor to save Is an
Important problem which the readers
of a Iondon dally are at present at
tempting to solve. The (juestion Is not
by any means a new one; It Is one
which has troubled past generations,
Just as, In nil probability, It will af
fect the generations yet to come. We
cannot say that this latest discussion
of the subject Is throwing much, if
any, fresh light upon It. In the first
place, there Is a diversity of opinion
regarding the term "poor." One man,
who derives an Income of 1,350 a
year from private property, fancies he
comes under the category, while an
other does not consider any one poor
who has an Income of $.".00 a year,
says a writer lu Ix-hUc's Weekly. It
Is manifestly Impossible to fix any
limit In a matter like this. Very much
depenus uion the locality and the con
ditions and surroundings of the indi
vidual. An Income that would be am
ply sufficient to Insure a family a com
fortable home, excellent social advan
tages and a good living in a country
village would mean many privations
and sore discomforts In any large city.
On the whole, however, we are In
clined to believe that Max O'ltell'g
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have
seen. "I do not care," he says, "bow
small the Income of a man Is, he
should never spend the whole of It,
especially If he has a wife and chil
dren. He should at least save enough
to pay every year the premium on a
good life policy. No man Is worthy
of the name who does not do this, at
least, at the price of whatever priva
tions he has to submit to. Some
pleasure may be derived from high
living, but certainly no happiness."
