T>.» Real Fun In Life.
Tlie ( hicago bunker who bad lntl
mate personal association with James
J Ilill relateU u little incident which
tlirows light on the character of that
great railroad man and builder of civ
ilization. says the Albany Knickerbock
er Press. Mr. Hill had commissioned
the banker .o perform a task which re
quired a Journey out of town. Here is
the story:
" 'How goon do you want this. Mr.
Hill?' said L
" 'Right away.'
"I suppose he noticed a fleeting ex
pression In my face, for he asked.
"What's the matter7
| "'Well.' said I. "my family is across
I the lake, but that doesn't make any
difference. I'll start In the morning
| and'—
I "Mr. Hi!) held ®p his right hand and
! said: 'Hold on. Let me give you a fact
j born of long experience. All the real
| fun a fellow has In life la within the
j four walls that Inclose hla family. Go
| across the lake and see your family
| and start on my Job when you get
j through with the home folks."'
The "Sting" of Death.
j The sting of death physically la noth
1 Ing. A man who has lost consciousness
| in the water, a man who has been un
' der an anaesthetic, a man stunned In
1 an accident—these have been in effect
dead, and yet they know nothing of
: death. In speaking of It the most
! glaring contradictions pass quite nat
! urally for axioms. It is the "gentle
! hand." but it is also the "grisly ter
| ror." It Is "beautiful" and "wonder
' fui." but it Is alsu "terrible."—London
