This would im ply that Mr. Casey has at cntne time in his career as a bridge ' carpenter learned a lesson. It tells o story of money that he did not "hold onto." It speaks of many days of hard work following one another in rapid succes sion, and they, in turn, giving place to other days when there was no work and uo money, becatue the money hud been spent perhaps unwitely us it was received. Rut Mr. Casey need not feel Ion-some. With his flO.000 in bank he can walk down thettrectf and rind other men who did not "hold onto" their money. Some of them mannged to save h part of their earnincs. while others saved nothing. Hut every man of them all let go of money that he afterward regretted spending, even when he felt at the time it was going that, he was getting its worth in re turn. If it is a fact that Mr. Casey has learned "how to hold onto" his money he must have ten rued how to get along without many things that make life really worth living. It would be bet ter if he would determine to spend ju diciously, having invested his funds to the best advantage, continuing to work meanwhile to increase his store. Above all things, he should buy those things which a normal, intelligent man require to till out his days with profit.

All men are worth a certain price to the world, which If they can make it 'clearly evident, the .world will cfieerfully pay. The ulere price of an able-bodied luborer, in time of slarery, proves this.' In the days of the Komans there was a scale of prices in both white and black Hluvea; and to-day, m the east, such a scale exists. What a man is worth, that the world pays, so far as it can find it out. Sometimes mistakes ure made, as in everything else; but in the majority of cases the price is fair enough. There are some men who really nre not "worth their keep" to the world. They enn set their price as high as they please, and exclaim against the injustice of not getting it; but the fact of their irateut worthlessness remuins. If they are poor the world refuses to puy them u high money wage; if they are rich they urc still refused the wage they covet of honor, of admiration, of fame. The men who win the high price are the men it belongs to of right. No man can gain the meed of honor paid to Lincoln or Washington without being worth as much to the nation as Lincoln or Washington. A cheap man cannot hope to be quoted above par. His market value is fixed roughly; but in the main justly, by the real value of his personality. The wise thing, therefore, is not to seek to make the world think we are valuable- that is but a barren attempt. The world is always looking for anil appraising valuable men. Its price is not always paid in money, but the inan of value, soon or late, wins a place in the price list. Agassi re fused to make money. He had not time, he said. Hut the world paid ii i in his pike in honor, to the utter most farthing. The man who quar rels with the world for undervaluing! him usually has the worst of the quarrel, and rightly. The only way to enhance our price is steadily to be worth more every year, to every one around us. am. to. our day und gener ation. Those who huve learned this simple truth rise in value inevitably.

The logical truth, however, is that a great work of art belongs to the world. So long as It is properly taken care of and is made accessible to persons who wish to study it. the place where it is kept is only u detail. Moreover, it is as easy for mi Englishman to come over here to see it as it is for un Amer ican to go to England for the sam-i purpose.
