"Every day narlra mneemlnn him. 1 hear similar remarks

and I think It a poor appreciation of his generosity. As you sajr, he's always giving, and It's a small business / to look a gift horse In the mouth, as | the psalmist says. If he hires a man | with a megaphone to announce his j benefactions, ho Isn't hurting any- \ body. V j "Caustic things are said of every' J philanthropist who manages to get I some advertising out of his liberality, J but It's my opinion that you'll have to hunt a long time, with a searchlight and a pair of gumshoes, before yon find the man who enjoys doing good by stealth. If you do And him, be will prove to be a freak, and It wUl be your doty to see him returned to the asylum from which he escaped. "We are all more or less hungry for j the approbation of our friends and fellow citizens. And I am glad It's so. If we didn't care three whoops what our friends thought of us, we wouldn't paint our houses, or mow our lawns, or trim our whiskers. We -wouldn't \ spend any money for flowers or boiled . ahlrls or any ofthethlngs which make HUB beautiful atad attractive. If a man spends a lot of mon^y for a gorgeous lawn, with" real trees and expensive flowers, and all sorts of ornaments, < he's doing It because he wants to be - praised by the people who see it alL Tor don't sec any such lawns In lone- , some rural districts. There the front yard always is a calf pasture. i "The farmer reasons that It's no use having a pretty lawn, for there's nobody to admire It Nobody ever goes i ' past the place except an occasional lightning rod agent or a man who Is taking orders for fruit trees. "Why don't you sneer at the town man who puts so much money Into beautiful grounds? It's all a grandstuud plli). He expects to get advertising out of It, and be docs, and be deserves it We shouldn't criticize any man who Is (loing good, even*df we don't like his methods. "Some people say that Sklmback Is trying to atone for all the siufulness of his past (tereer. It Is argued that until recent years he never -gave away anything, but was after the dollars by day and night, nnd didn't en're who.. got hurt so he overtook nnd -captured them. They tell of mortgages he fore- . closed, cfius'ing unspeakable suffering I here-antl there. He is accused of f<t\ J sorting tfl every dark trick to li^rense \ his hoard. Most of the storleindfrob- 6 ably are bunk, but what If they are E true? Now that he shows signs of re- j ] penten^e in his old nge we should en- ] courage him In every possible way, nnd If he. gives -a phonograph to the 5 high school, or puts up n public drink- I ing fountain in the public square, we should tell ,him he's everybody's dnr- s ling, tihd not dig up a. lot of ancient history for his confusion. "I haven't much money to Vglve | away, but when I-do loosen up to the extent 'of a .dollar or two I like to have an -audience. I like to imagine that people are saying, 'What a grent-heart- _ cd, benevolent old geezer he. Is !'
