John W. Gates.
“The man who speculates on futures
or gambler for high stakes by any oth-
er means, becoming one day a pau-
per, the next day a millionaire, and
again a pauper, Is not happy. He
burns up his strength and his life In
a fever of excitement, and comes to
hts end without having ever really en-
joyed himself.
"Happiness and contentment be-
long to the tiller of the soil, the me-
chanic, the merchant, who earn their
money by labor and invest their sav-
ings wisely to provide themaelvea a
home for their declining years. They
always know Just where they are and
their lives are sweetened by a sense
of security.
"I guess I know about as many
stock and grain gamblers as does any
man in the country. And I do not
know one who risks any large per
cent, of his fortune on the market who
is what you would term a happy man.
“It is foolishness for a man to try
to he a small gambler. If he has the
habit, some time or other he will
make a big plunge. Then it’s all over
with him so far as having much Joy
in life is concerned. He will plunge
again and again. He may grow wealthy
or go broke, but the fever has him,
and contentment is fled.”

Drain of the Middle Men.
Little middle men are eating the
life out of New York and drinking its
heart's blood. Why, there are many
restaurants whore a piece of meat,
Hsh or fowl 1b cooked and served even
1 -cheaper than the first cost In some of
these severe, sometimes fashionable
butcher shops. All this discourages
housekeeping and encourages divorce,
desertion and damnation.—New York

Happiness Right of Childhood.

help amid life's stern rea'iries.

conspicuous part
