' A Miser and Hermit Woman.
An aged woman, described in a special
dispatch to the Greensboro Daily
New# as a "miser and hermit-woman"
'Was struck down and killed by a motor
car near Concord, N. C., ft few
nights ftgo. At the time, she was
carrying a tih pail in which was an
old sock containing $1,415.55 in cash.
In the'little cabin in which she lived
was found a bank certificate of deposit
for $200. She is described .as |
a most eccentric character, who held
aloof from contact with her fellowbeings,
who roamed about the country,
especially at night, her principal
diet being berries and herbs. As the
result of her avarice an 1 frugality
Bhe had amassed some $1,400. The
infinite toil, sacrifice and self denied
entailed, in creating this'cash fund
would iu itself make a splendid human
interest, story. But was it worth
while after all ? There is no gainsaying
that -thrift and having and.
economy are shining virtues in thin
age of extravagance and ease, when
the majority of mankind are inclined
to live up to the hilt and beyond. At
the same time to deny one's self any
comfort, convenience or portion of
eftse deprives life of pleasure or satisfaction.
It. is indeed too high a
price to pay for . a competence,
whether it be one thousand or one
hundred thousand, to make the saving
of money the sole and consuming
passion. Avarice breeds suspicion
and distrust. It compels one to shun
fellow-beings, and for the results obtained
the game is not worth the.
candle. There is much of pathos and
pity to the tragic jsnd of the lonely
miser and hermlt-wdman. Every
time she wandeted forth by day or
night on the roadside with tyftt pail
and i^a sock staffed ' with paper
money, there was the possibility that
she would be robbed or murdered.
But her treasure was near her when
the final summons came, and for all
of her heroic efforts at self-denial
and self-effiacement in order to lay
by a nest egg, others will reap all
the benefit; for she left sons and
daughters. In keeping the greatest
