FEEDING THE WOLF
Avarice Xviacd nxrir Home Life and
Ktllod T5er Mother
There stood on the kitchen shelf in
the old fttnnhotiBe where I wao Jborn
said a Kerr York bosipsss roan in the
Youths Coipttnin a stone wolf with
a slot in rta back Into this slot went
the savings of the family cent by cent
Onco a month my father unscrewed
the wolfs beck and took out tle mon
ey It all went to buy land to add to
our farm Ho had an ambitiou to bo
known as a largo landoider and
everything was sacrificed to that
The mflk the vegetables and the
beef which tbe farm produced were
sold and wo children were fed upon
the feftiee We grew up pale weak
and and the money saved went
into the wolfs stomach
My father had a good income but
my mother did all the work without
help At 40 she was an old woman
Once or twice she naked for a weeks
holiday or a little trip to the city
Father would consent and then lie
would convince her of the extrav
gance of the plan She begged that
might be sent to college but father
talked sa much about the expense that
she dropped the matter She used to
long for a magazine or book to read
for a chance to hoar music for some
escape from the deadly barrenness of
our life but it was never given to her
The cost always had to be reckoned
first and the wolf got the money
The home life which might have
been wholesome and attractive was
hard greedy and cruel Mj mother
died worn out with working to feed
that hungry wolf B3 and by a rail
road w16 built which helped other parts
of the country at the expense of our
own neighborhood The value of the
farm decreased and father was left
with a lot of worthless land on his
hands We had sacrificed all that was
best in life for it and we got no re
turn
There are few American families in
which petty avarice is a marked char
acteristic but there are many in which
thrift is misdirected and what should
be only a means is allowed to beco
an end The frugality which looks co
ward a realization of nobler aims and
the attainment of a broader aad richer
life is worth every effort and self-sacrifice
but the hoarding which starves
body and soul merely to add acre to
acre or to pile one useless dollar upon
another is a pinnacle of folly to which
no creature but man has ever arisen
Eacouraging the Bidders
A Dutch auction at Cape Town is fre
quently exciting If a house is to be
sold the auctioneer offers fifty golden
sovereigns for the man who first bids
5000 Nobody bids A pause and
then Fifty golden sovereigns for the
man who first bids 4900 This is
kept up until a bid is secured But it
by no means follows that the house is
sold to this bidder No the auctioneer
is then at it again Say that 4400 is
the first bid The auctioneer cries
There are twenty five golden sov
ereigns for the first man who has the
courage to bid 4600 Perhaps no
one has it Then 25 pounds is offered
for a 4550 bid If there is eventually
no bid above the 4400 the man who
made that bid is saddled with the
house Otherwise he pockets his bonus
and get off free of it all
