Show EVIL IN LACK OF MODESTY. "Swollen Head" Invariably Forerunner of Disaster. A young man, Inheriting a vast fortune, for-tune, got tho mistaken notion that a great inheritance makes a great man. In thrco years ho ran his course, and is now serving as a point to many a moral talo. Thoso who wero fawning and flattering a fow months ago are now tittering nnd pointing as ho passes by. And, If tho young man has any brains left, ho Is probably In the mrtJt pitiable stato of humiliation. It Is an ovoryday occurrence. Tho office boy who does not know how to tako a ralso of CO cents a week is Just as good an Illustration as this vory conspicuous ycung man. And tht moral of his dlsgraco will be missed cntlroly If every man, howover ob-ecuro, ob-ecuro, doos not tako It homo to himself. him-self. Not always does "swollen head" ro-suit ro-suit In disaster. Most of tho very worst ponnltlcs in this world aro penalties pen-alties of missing great benefits one might easily havo received had ho conducted con-ducted himself with honesty, simplicity simplic-ity and modesty.
