There is a sad bit of news contain-

compared with 1923 when the last
census was taken. with the whips

Who Was The Failure?
Harry and Dick were brothers.
Moreover. tiny were loyal devoted
pals. They had hidden their shoes
and stockings under the same bush
in the early days of aprian they had
played hockey together to go fish-
ing: they had gone swimming with
the gang. and taken the dog to bed.
Those were great old days. and
Harry loved to talk about them to
his prosperous cronies in the club.
whence he ,wended his way after
four o’clock to rest up from a hard
day's work. and for a hard evening's
entertainment by s fesv rubbers of
bridge befone six-thirty.
Nobody ever said. "Where is
Dick?" or “What happened to
Dick 'i" They thought Dick was dead
perhaps. Indeed. Harry himself had
not seen Dick for years. Chances had
made Harry rich-—he was not a. par-
ticularly keen business man.
Dick. off in a western city. had
more real business ability than
Harry. but some way or other the
wheel of fortune never stopped at
his number. A long illness and his
wife's accident when she caught. her
hand in the mangle had set them
back the little they had saved.
One day Dick came to see Harry.
"I've got a good chance to go into
business with Smith." said Dick.
“and every cent we had has gone to
the hospital. Lend me a thousand
dollars. Harry. and I'll see that you
get it. back with good interest."
“1 don't believe in lending money."
Harry had replied. "It's bad for
character. You'll thank me some day.
Dick. my boy. l'm sorry you have
had trouble. but it comes to all of
us." Then he sailed for Europe as
he did every summer with his fam-
ily. and Dick went back to his
hundred-and-titty-dollar Job in the
west and keeping books at night to
pay for the extra. help.
Harry found this note in his flow-
er-fllled cabin. "Bon voyage. old
chap. Have a bully time. Love from
all of us. Dick."
"Fine boy. Dick!" ssid Harry to
his wife. as he changed his hat for
a cap. "I‘d like to see him get along."
