TOO BUSY TO EAT. What Happened to the Man Who Thought Only of Making Money. Once upon u tlne there was a man too busy to eat, In the morulng he swallowed a cup- ful of coffee and smeared half a soft bolled egg on bls mustache, where hoe could lick 1t off on his way downtown fn the cars. At noon he allowed himself fifteen minutes for luncheon, &nd as it takes the average walter longer than that to walk to the kitchen and back, the fif. teen minutes was about all the nour tshment he got. He usually got home late for dinner In the evening, because he hated to tear himself away from his place of business s0 long as there was the slightest possibility of making another nickel before he closed down his desk, and when he did sit down to the table he devoured the stock murket reports in the evenlng paper lnstead of digging into the fodder. He couldu’t see any sense in wasting his time on food while there was so much money in the world that did not belong tc him, At the age of forty he died of what the doctors called acute indigestion, but I know better. It was just plain starvation. Anyhow, he left his family weil pro- vided for. The moral 1s: Perhaps it was all for the best.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Sensitive rMorse.
