It goes without saying, however, that real pros- perity is better than any other kind Confidence—Nothing can be done without confidence. If called upon to say in what you should have confidence, it is better not to be too specific. Justice—Justice is well-attested as an eternal principle in politics. It was well known to the ancient philosophers who were always careful that it should not become too common. If justice is too widespread, it is liable to be cheap- ened Righteousness—Whenever a small par- ticle of rightcousness can be discovered, it should at once be corralled and incor. porated into the body politic. Only thus can the uplift be maintained Words—It is always well to know a good deal about words, because they can be used with so many different mean- ings. Ellis O. Jones. What Every Magnate Knows HAT the money he owns has come to him not through chance, but through the fact that certain individuals are fitted by nature to control capital. That all persons who differ from him about economic theories are crazy. That the salvation of the country con- sists in letting him alone. That he cannot do much toward help- ing his fellow man. But he would if he could. That every poor man who has lost his job and cannot get another has only him- self to blame.

The Arrival MODERN lady died and went to Hades. His Majesty met her deferentially at the gate. “Will it be possible for me to secure an establishment here? '’ she said. “ Certainly, mada “In a desirable location?" “T think so.”" “T don’t care to be near the riff-raff. And I should like to be sure and get suitable servants.”’ “You should experience no difficulty There are several good agencies.” “T could give dinner parties when I liked? * Dear me, yes. “And make a splurge at it?”* “Oh, certainly “I should expect to spend my sum- mers abroad “Quite right. Return tickets free.” You have operas? "’ “ Several, devoted to the haut ton.’” The lady lifted her lorgnette. She smiled slightly. “Do you know,” she said, “I am agreeably surprised. I was afraid this place was not kept up to conform to the best standards. It troubled me to think I inight possibly have to associate with my inferiors. I am glad to see that you have such a sense of the fitness of things. Iam very glad to have renewed our brief acquaintance made on earth, and I will trouble you to see that my rival is chronicled in the society col- umns of the papers.”” His Majesty bowed respectfully “Sorry, madame, but that will be im- possible. She gazed at him haughtily “ How is that?’ she asked sternly. “There are no papers here. There are no society columns. No matter what you are doing, the public is in absolute ignorance of it.”” And sinking back she muttered softly to herself : “This is indeed Hell!” Concerning Hugheses OMEN will become quite civilized while they admire men with whiskers. never TS a barrel. long lane that has no ash- comicbooks.com
