Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 April 1905 — SPOT CASH. [ARTICLE]

SPOT CASH.

A dollar in your hand is worth two in the other chap’s pocket. Take care of the pennies and your heirs will blow in the Most people would be content with their lot if it was a lot of money. Lots of sympathetic people are willing to share your last dollar with you. A millionaire has a better show in this world than the average theatrical manager. It is usually the alimony he has to pay that causes a man to figure in a divorce suit. Ignorance is certainly bliss when a man has more money than he knows what to do with. Money talks convincingly at times, and again there are times, when it gets badly rattled. All the money dropped in frenzied finance is dropped by men who are trying to pick it up. Riches and experience leads us to believe that greenbacks are printed on fly-paper Time isn’t money, otherwise a man wouldn’t have to spend so much time trying to borrow a little money. Contentment may be better than great riches, but most people are willing to take chances with a big bank balance. A politician never gives up politics for good until he is convinced that he has got his full share of coin out of the game. The more hat a man can buy for $2 the less bonnet a woman can buy for S2O; yet people still harp on the eternal fitness of things.
