INCE upon a time there was @ pampered youth. His father and mother had siven him @ good education at @ome college, Here he dreamed a great many dreams. He looked about for a big future where he might shine in the finn- ament of achievement. Just what he would do towamd this end was a great problem to him, Once, when he delivered an essay on poetry and &@ jolly good fellow told him it was “wonderful,” he decided that he must train to be @ poet and thus startle the world. On another occasion, after digging into the library, he wrote another article of historical events that might have been put Ls yi? by any other student, fellow student, who joved foot- ball only, commented on this article and labelled it “great stuff.” Then the boy decided that be ought to be historian. Thus, at every little pu! on the back, a new prospective taleat soared before him. After his college days were over he came home to decide on the course to pursue, Father wanted bim to learn some- thing practical, but it was not to the outh's liking. In his heart of hearts pooh-poohed his father’s plan and with indignation said to bis mother; “How could father possibly under- etand iy feelingy!

So he apoke to the boy something like thie: “My sou, here ils enough cash to keep you as comfortable as you al- ways have been, for one year.
