VALUELESS MILLIONS

SIR ERNEST CASSEL'S GREAT SORROW. London, September 23. “You may have all the money in tho world, yet be a lonely, sorrowing man.” Thus Sir Ernest Cassel —the great banker and philanthropist, who died on Thursday—shortly alter the death of his boloved daughter .some years ago, according to his published personal recollection. "The light has gone out of my life. I live in this beautiful house, which is furnished with all the luxury and wonders that art could find, but I no longer value my millions or the pictures in my home. 1 have Hat here for hours every night grieving for my daughter." Sir Ernest Cassel's daughter died al Bournmoutb of consumption at. the age -of 30. He had given scores of thousands for inquiry into tuberculosis and cancer; but this money did not avail to save the one person in the world most loved. The specially built bungalow in which she died was completely removed and re-erected in his garden at Moulton Paddocks, Newmarket He would sit tor hours in it meditating. No other was allowed to approach it. He sought happiness by devoting himself to his elder grand-daughter, Edwina, a god-daughter of tho late King Edward, who Is expected to lie the principal heiress.

Sir Ernest Cassel said there was nothing. even the greatest financial successes, in life to equal the love of- a devoted wife, or the delight of a family of haj|py children. The. things that were best and ■worth having money could not buy.— "The Sun.”
