ABOVE ALL PRICE
There Are Things Which Money
Cannot Purchase.
*
Man Who Mado That Assertion Proved
HI* Case, Though Many 'Have
Long Hold a Contrary Opinion,
Says an Exchange.
A group of men were discussing,
over the luecheon table, the purchasing
power of money. One of them,
especially, waxed eloquent upon the
subject "There Is nothing money will
not buy," he said positively. One man
~took exception to this statement.
"Money will not buy health," he asserted.
"Wrong 1" said the first. "There Is
ninny a poor man or woman who, If
they had money to pay for proper
treatment, would quickly regain their
honlth. In many Instances, money will
buy health."
"Happiness, then?M
"Wrong again. In rare Instances
money will not buy happiness, but In
the majority of cases, yes. The possession
of money means time for rest,
recreation, study, travel?Jnnny
things, all of which give happiness,
ril tell you," leaning across the table
earnestly, "write down, If you can
find them, four things that money will
not really buy, and for each one I will
give you a thousand dollars."
The next day, at luncheon, the one
who was challenged handed the.other
a slip of paper. After reading It/ the
man without a quibble handed his
friend four $1,000 bills. This is what
was written on the paper:
1. A Baby's Smile?A baby's smile
can never be purchased by offering It
money. To the soul that has so lately
come from the place of the unbojn,
the means of exchange of this world
offers no appeal. A mother's kiss, a
father's caress, a flower, a bright-colored
toy, may win a baby's smile, but
you cannot bargain for that smile with
goiu.
2. Youth, When It Has Gone?"The
mill will never grind with the water
thnt has passed." The flush of youth,
the luster of the eyes of a boy In .his
teens, the carefree happiness of the
maiden, when the years have brought
maturity, can never come again. Ponce
de Leon in his quest for the spring of
eternal youth realized that fact. He
knew that youth, once gone, could
never be bought again. Money will
not purchase its return, even if heaped
in piles of minions, and the spring for
which the knight so diligently searched
to Insure against the ravages of time
was never discovered.
8. The Love of a Good WomanLove.
like a baby's smile, cannot be
bought with gold. Many, a woman has
simulated love for a dowry with a
husband thrown in, a^nd practiced the
deception successfully for years, JfcjL
true love, of the kind which lagts
eternally, cannot. be purchased. The
love of a pure woman is held by her
as the most sacred gift which she can
bestow. It is not to be bought with
gold, or silver, or precious stones. 11
is given freely to the man she loves.
4. Entrance Into Heaven?There is
an old saying that "shrouds have no
pockets." Money, which will purchase
nearly everything in this world, cannot
be taken to the next and used as
a means of entrance into heaven. The
keeper of the portals of the heavenly
city Is not susceptible to a bribe.
There, at least, money has no value.?

Independent.
Breaking It Gently.
A fondness for backing an occasional
winner was one of Bill's weaknesses;
that his selection didn't always come
home first couldn't be blamed on him.
After u certain race, he got home
rather later than usual, to be met at
the door by his wife, her face distorted
with rage. He knew the signs, and
sank Into ft chair, content to wait till
the clouds had rolled by. When nt
last she had to pause for want of
breath, he remarked causually:
"I say, Nell, ye likes to 'ear 'o people
winnln' lots o' money, don't yer?"
Visions of new hats and even a
dress lloated before her dazzled eyes,
so the woman forced a smile to her
lips and replied:
"That 1 do. Tell me all ahnrt It."
"Well," he said, as she nestled close
to him, "u bookmaker's been an' gorn
an' won all me wages this week."?
