GREED in human nature
Nellie Gray died a few weeks ago.
A chronic invalid, tricked out of her
small inheritance as a young woman,
the had been 'the town pauper of
V, est Stockbridge, Mass, for twenty
years. Then a brother died and left
her $85,000. The first thing Nellie
did with the money was to pay back
to the town all the money the tax
payers had contributed to her sup
port.
Only one of Nellie’s relations ever
did anything for her when she was
poor. He was a cousin who was al
most as hard up as she was. But as
soon as she got her inheritance rela
tions flocked to her house from all
directions. When she died seventeen
different families claimed a share in
her estate. They had left her to
starve, but now they wanted her
wealth.
The probate court examined all the
claims. There was no claim on be
half of the only relation who had
ever done anything to befriend Nel
lie Gray. He asid he didn’t need it;
he could get along. He wouldn’t like
anyone to think he'd been kind to his
cousin in the hope of gain. But the
court dealt out even-handed justice
and this cousin got half of the es
tate, to the disgust of the seventeen
greedy ones.
In his imperfect world it is not
often that 1 run across a human sit
uation which so well bears out the
belief that right and /justice will al
ways triumph in the end.
SUPERSTITUTION pains inside
In my boyhood I used to hear back
country people say that it was dan
gerous to drink from an open stream
or spring. They told weird tales of
persons who had swallowed frogs’
eggs which hatched in their insides.
Sometimes it was lizard eggs. I re
member reading many years ago a
gruesome tale of a man who had
thus accidentally swallowed an alli
gator egg, and was devoured from
within by the reptile which hatched
in his stomach.
1 imagine that beilef is as old as
humanity. Folk ignorant of physi
ology attributed internal pains to

vitals. But I had supposed that every
bedy knew enough in these enlight
ened days to realize the impossibility
of such happenings, until I saw a
newspaper article from a seashore
resort the other day.
According to this story a young
woman walking on the beach picked
uj what she thought was a pearl.
She put it in her mouth and acci
dentally swallowed it. And some
time later, according to the account,
she died in agony, devoured by an
octopus which had hatched
egg that she had mistaken for a
pearl!
Apparently there are still people
gullible enough to swallow such sto
ries. Age-old beliefs do not vanish as
speedily in the face of knowledge as
1 had imagined.
HUMOR with cheese
The funniest sayings are often not
so intended. The best bit of uncon
scious humor which I have heard
lately was told to me by a very able
woman physician who specializes in
mental cases in a New England city.
One of her patients attempted sui
cide by taking three boxes of rat
poison. That was an overdose, and
nature got rid of it so quickly that
he recovered. But he had his own
theory of why it failed to work.
“Of course, I see now what was
the matter,” the poor semi-lunatic
tcld the doctor. “The directions on
the box said to spread the rat-poison
on pieces of cheese, and I forgot the
cheese!”
CHANCE and a “dud”
At a church lawn-party not long,
ago I heard the minister’s daughter
complain, half seriously, that young
men shy off from girls who live in
a parsonage.
“What chance has a minister’.?
daughter?” she sighed, with one eye
on the handsome young man who
tends the soda-fountain in the vil
lage drugstore, who was devoting
himself to a couple of chattering
high-school girls.
Her father, overhearing her, re
marked :
“You make me think of a Metho
dist parsonage in England, where
there were two daughters. They may
have felt much as you do, but those
two girls gave the world two of to
day’s most famous men. One of them
became the mother of Rudyard Kip
ling, the greatest living poet, and her
sister’s son, Stanley Baldwin, became
Prime Minister of England.” > .
1 saw the minister’s daughter a
little later, talking earnestly with a
young college professor on vacation,
whom most of the village girls have
branded as a “dud.” I couldn’t be
sure, but I thought she, was letting
him hold her hand.
JOBS fir*t-rate rntfr.
The mark of a first-rate man* is
that he is not above taking a second
rate job if there is a chance in it to
prove his own first-rateness.
One young man I know lost his
jcb in the hardest part of the de
pression. He tried anything else he
could get to do, but all he could get
was a chance to sell advertising on
commission. He went at it as if it was
the biggest job in the world, and
within six months his commissions
were running to as much as the high
est salary he had ever earned. Now
he’s the star man of his newspaper
organization.
