At foruteen he was raising two pigs and a calf andtrying for all the prizes at the fairs around.

At the same time he was increasing in "disfavour” with all the boys of my own age. He blo.ssomed into a man with a bank account, while we were still having hard times to find enough money to even buy clothes with. We went to all the local parties and we thought vaguely of the time when we would settle down on farms of our own. Then" he bought a farm. Placed a sizeable amount down in cash and the rest on a mortgage. He worked night and day, and the older people said “There’s a young man who will get ahead” . . and the young people just laughed, at him, and some were a lit tle jealous.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harty X Boyle “UNHAPPINESS” I happy looking as aft undertaker with have a cousin who is &bout as the itch at a funeral. He goes around with a wreath of grief on his face all the time, and the everlasting fear that he’s going to die. His conversa tion is macle up of gruesome bits about all the people who have died suddenly in the neighbourhood dur ing the past fifty years. He takes a morbid thrill out of discovering that he has symptoms of a dread disease. I was talking to him today and it made me remember when we were at school together. At a very tender age he started his career of trying to corner all the money in the school. He would do your homework for so much . . get you out of a jam for so much . . and although the cash am ong the pupils in those days was very small, he managed to get about nine ty per cent of it. Then one day at supper, my moth er announced that cousin Albert had started a bank account. Of course all the eyes in the house were cast on me . . I was the black sheep because I never had the saving habit . . I would never amount to anything . . I would never be any more than a * big family, and his wife was a great worker. Both of them now are worn out, and just husks of what they once were. And now Albert is worrying about his farpily and if he will have enough money to leave them . . and, how soon he’s going to die . . and if he will have a lingering death. Somehow I don’t envy him. I much prefer to live life to its fullest extent^ and I believe that my family " will respect me more for leaving them a mortgaged farm than Albert’s will for sizeable bank accounts. Mrs. Epstein was an overly con scientious person. Therefore, when she engaged a new maid, she asked, as many questions as are asked in a civil service examination. “Have you,” ' she asked sternly, “any religious views?” ( ’ “No, ma’am, I haven’t,” answered the girl, “but I've got some dandy snapshots of Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes.
