formed that there was cash credit
of $10,000 waiting for him In the hands
of the Milwaukee probata judge he re
marked: "It's rather sudden, but'l
guer 1 know enough now to hold onto
money when I gtt it." 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.

recent number of Young People has' eanvaa to an American millionaire he
pointed out, it wag a absolutely true i should offer it to the liritish nation, or
remark. 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.

quoted us counting confidently on a
continued increase of exports with
out respect to the Hocr war, which is

therefore, that the need of the horse
increases, according to t lie Indianap

production. The whole mass of man
