Show Tho Lost Rug. IB A man decided to tako his fnrni BJ turo out of tho storngo warehouse nnd BJ kcop houso ngnln. Tho day ho did It such a snow storm camo up that ho BJ is euro it cost him twlco as much to H rcovo as It would had tho weather BJ been reasonable. Now this man likes rugs and tho extra oxpenso ho was BJ put to on account of tho weather H would have bought a rug. Ho blames B thnt snow storm a rug's worth and to him that Is a good deal. IIo fools ugly. In his mind tho prlco of a rug in n rug is a great deal bigger than tho prlco of a rug In tho bank. You nnd I uro thnt way on eamo things. If I wero to loso tho prlco of a fine blank book I would think less about it than If it wero a flno blank book or If I thought of tlio money In a fine blnnk book. Tho poor people do not know money as money. Wo do not respect It as stored up energy. To lovo It and dls respect It aro both errors. Wo should learn how to look at It in an intolll 1 gent manner, but whilo our personal ). wantB oxcood our flnanclnl ability wo will think of money In Bomo desired object. Whilo talking with a furniture dealer deal-er In Uuffalo I saw him shock hlmsolf by thinking what tho money ho had spont during tlio year for a certain object would mean if represented by furniture. Can you seo vnluo whether In monoy, old iron or diamonds? It mny bo dnngcrous for us to look at money through somo spcclnl object. |
