r it has occurred to me that it is a  good  thing  to  have  a
Royal Treasurer who is made of money. What do you think?"
     "I think," said the little Queen, smiling, "that your friend must  be
the richest man in all the world."
     "I am," returned the Scarecrow. "but not on account of my money.  For
I consider brains far superior to  money,  in  every  way.  You  may  have
noticed that if one  has  money  without  brains,  he  cannot  use  it  to
advantage; but if one has brains without money, they will  enable  him  to
live comfortably to the end of his days."
     "At the same time," declared the Tin Woodman, "you  must  acknowledge
that a good heart is a thing that brains can not create,  and  that  money
can not buy. Perhaps, after all, it is I who am the richest man in all the
world."
     "You are both rich, my friends," said Ozma, gently; "and your  riches
are the only riches worth having - the riches of content!"
