He has no use for merit, for talent, virtue, worth, unless such things inherit the riches of ths earth. For years his luck was rotten, he could not gain a wad; but this {8 all forgotten, he has his acres broad; he has his bonds and leases, his stocks and ofl well shares, he has his golden pleces and costly easy chafrs. When he was poor as blazes, with sandburs In his boots, he cussed, {n biting phrases, the sordid, grasping plutes. But now that he is richer than any one in view, and drinks, from gilded pitcher, a priceless boot- leg brew, he has one only measure for all his fellow men—their quantity of treasure, their store of shining yen. 0ld Newrich views with pity the bard without a wad, whose sonnets, wise and witty, have made the world ap- plaud. He views with scorn the 8ffig- er, with scanty goods endowed, whose music is the bringer of pleasure to the crowd. He laughs at {dle blighfers who do not yearn for gold, who with Instructive writers but ask to be en- rolled. The Newrich world is smaller than any ever spawned; no wider than a dollar, no longer than a bond. And ‘neath the village steeple the pas. tor's voice is hurled: “It takes all sorts of people to make a tinhorn world.” (Copyright.) WALT MASON. Pl Gets Threatening Letters.
