MILLIONAIRES


Recipe for a multi-millionaire:



Take a boy with bare feet as a starter

Add thrift and sobriety, mixed--

Flavor with quarts of religion,

And see that the tariff is fixed.



--_Life_.





MILLIONAIRE (to a beggar)--"Be off with you this minute!"



BEGGAR--"Look 'ere, mister; the only difference between you and me is

that
ou are makin' your second million, while I am still workin' at my

first."





"Now that you have made $50,000,000, I suppose you are going to keep

right on for the purpose of trying to get a hundred millions?"



"No, sir. You do me an injustice. I'm going to put in the rest of my

time trying to get my conscience into a satisfactory condition."





"When I was a young man," said Mr. Cumrox, "I thought nothing of working

twelve or fourteen hours a day."



"Father," replied the young man with sporty clothes, "I wish you

wouldn't mention it. Those non-union sentiments are liable to make you

unpopular."





No good man ever became suddenly rich.--_Syrus_.





And all to leave what with his toil he won,

To that unfeather'd two-legged thing, a son.



--_Dryden_.
