His-father” was a- prominent Bronx physiclan, ‘a wonderful man. who be- came - both friend and physician after his first visit. Although through his business ability he amagsed a fortune of approximately $350,000, he was as pialn as an ordinary business man, and he reared his chil- dren to know the value of money. “Two weeks after the death of his en- tire famfily, Francis insisted upon seeing them, and It was then, the sad news was told to him. The Iittle boy cried the entire day, and when his father’s sis- ter visited him he sald: “Oh, auntie, how I shall miss them.” And In the next breath he said: “Now I shall have to go to work. 1 wonder where I can get a job? In his childish mind his father had taught that In order to live all men must or, should, work, and he realized that bs- reft of his father and mother he was without support. It' never entered his mind that his father was.a rich man. Francis fiever heard the expression in his home which 80 ‘often echoes through the homes of others: father has plenty of money !" the first time he heard was rich. Yonurs sincerely, JOSEPHY CYR.
