-FOOL'S COLD" AT THE MIST.
A pathetic story comet from Tom-
wk of a family of Ignorant peasant
arriving on foot after traveling 3000 1
'miles with a wagon tilled with a sup- j
tposed fortune In gold and finding on
arrival at the mint that the value ot
th. liwoflnr. mrna nnlv SIO ' 1 mtaa
supposed
'the treasure wat only $10. ' It was
"fool's gold." ( .
, i It would require an extraordinary
" fpower of Imagination to picture In
detail the hopes that were centered
. upon that wagon load of
; igold. .t f " - '
J In the shine of the metal that poor
' peasant family caw reflected a new
, tworld. Cold and want and sacrifice
' and fear were to be theirs no more.
TThe unspeakable hardships of the
L J3000 mile Journey on foot - through
Siberian snows and wilds must have
been tragical In the extreme, but
I Ab, the- journey home again! .
That glorious prospect recompens
ed for everything.
i Did ttoe father's shoes wear
jjthrough, leaving his bare feet to be
Jcut and , bruised , by the frozen
fgroundT Well, be would soon have
tbe best boots that money could buy
JTbe child shivering and crying with
the .cold was hushed with promises
what, forever , after, warm clothes
'would be plentiful, and toys and
Jiweets. The worn mother, with her
Jbabe at her breastfl forgot her weari
less and her woe, dreaming of the
Jdays to come when the glitter of the
'gold would be turned Into perpetual
sunshine.
the poor dare to dream at " the , pros
pect of sudden wealth.
The miseries and the grinding toll
and ' the hopelessness that .wealth re
lievea are to near to thein.l to con
stantly with them, that to have them
lifted seems to have opened the gates
of heaven. They know nothing of
the cares wealth brings; they know
only of the cares it relieves.
We shudder with this poor family
at the transfiguration moment of
their disillusionment, when they
learned the awful truth, that thf y had
brought nothing but empty dreams,
and must take' up the Journey back
over the same long, hard road, with
their bleeding feet ' and their rags
and their despair back' to the same
old misery.
Yes, we shudder with this poor, de-
fPRSOXALS.
luded peasant family, but maybe we
1 bad better do some shuddering for
ourseives as well. .
How many of us are carrying only
"fool's gold" to the mint of death,
How many, of us are making our
Journey rf life a hard and a hopeless
one, by the load of selfishness, greed
and worry we are carrying to the
great mint, there to lay it all down"
as utterly worthless.
We pity the poor peasant family,
but hud we not better pity ourselves
too? , . ' '
