MORAL FOR THE MONEY-MAD

Hope of Becoming Millionaires About on a Par With the Washerwoman’s Delusion. Prof. Warren M. Beidler of Bethel, Pa., in a recent address made the striking adeertion that the American people, money-mad, taught th&r children how to earn a living, but not how to live. * “There is no viler, and there Is no vainer ambition,” said Professor Beidler to a reporter, “than that of the American Boy to become a millionaire. What percentage of our boys do become millionaires? It would take a good many decimals to work that out, believe me! The boy who sets hiß Heart on a million fares likes the washerwoman who set her heart on a cross-eyed aeronaut. * ‘I hear you married that cross-eyed aeronaut last week?” said a friend. “ ‘Yes, I did,’ replied the washerwoman, as she rocked back and forth over her tub. ‘Yes, I married s him. and I - gave him SSOO out of my Duildin’ association to start an airship fa& tory*! “ ‘That so?’ said- the friend. ‘Where Is he now?’ “‘I don’t know,’ said the washer woman. ‘l’m waitin’ for him to come back from his honeymoon.’”
