A SISTER OF PEACE SPEAKS.
People Who "Energize" Through
Life and the IndiEcrcntists.

People Who "IcncrpfEc" Through
Life and The IndiGcrentists.
Generally speaking. energetic people
are a torment They are the cause Of
much Of the good but still moro of the
Ills Of this lie. cannot forgive them
the ills for the sake Of the good, pos
sibly because / possess that rare gift
d sense Of proportion. and so can dis
eern relative values.
Now, this sense of proportion is pre-
rlsely what restless people lack. They
are energetic by temperament, not by
reason Of outward may.
| should rather say in spite Of outward
circumstances They energize through
life amid the calmest and most un-
provocative surroundings to the infinite
discomfort Of their quieter brethren
If such one ties his boot lace or cuts
his bread Il Is q source of much dis
cusslon and feverish excitement.
Should one Of the brethren Of peace
venture to expostulate he calls down
on himself a hurricane Of abuse on the
evils Of Indifference and the philosophic
Importance of trihes.
Certainly trihes must receive due
consideration. They must be treated
with respect. They should be attend
ed to summarily, rapidly, and then dis
missed forever. They are not worth
excitement or nervors waste, and even
total Indifference to their claims is a
lesser evil than the habit of creating
for them a false atmosphere Of mag
nitude. But the nervous waste is not
the chief evil Of overenergy. The
greatest danger lies in Its fatal attrac-
ton TO its twin sisters, interference
and influence.
The energetic man observes that the
world around him is out Of gear. Some
thing must be done. Who should do It
If not himself? Obviously no one else
Is attempting to set things right. He
never stops to think, "Can anything be
done, should anything be done, and. If
so, am the right man to do it?" No;
his only certainty is that any action is
better than no action.
What fatal mistakel There is no
action Of any avail save the absolute
right action at the absolute right mo-
ment Failing that, no action at all is
in every way infinitely superior.
We NEEDLE in each others affairs
with influence aud advice. Nine times
out Of ten our interference has a pref
judicial effect. Yet, being for the most
part thoroughly illogical and stone
blind as TO cause and effect, we pat
ourselves morally on the back and con-
tinue serenely to meddle till the end
Of our days.
Apathy has a saving grace-its tend
ency to a sense Of proportion. Al
most invariably il possesses an intui.
tive knowledge Of the relative signifi-
cance Of the events Of daily life. When
sufficient occasion arises. 1t forms its
judgments with clearness and rapidity
and atones for its normal torpor with
bursts Of intense energy and a height
Of enthusiasm to which few energetic
people ever attain.
One Of the worst symptoms Of nerv-
GUS disorder is the overmastering de-
sire OF the victim to 'energize," the to-
tai inability for rest and repose. The
patient wears out both himself and the
world he lives among Obviously in
differentsts are the philosophers Of
life. MABEL Il. YATES.

HOPS PAID MORTGAGE.
It had Encountered the Farm for
twenty-five Years-A Farmers
Experience.

James Heron is hauling his hops
to town now and storing them in
the Marshall Miller warehouse.
They have not been sold, and will
not be until there is a better figure
than the current price of Is cents.
Mr.. Heron thinks, and most every
body else thinks, buyers are pur-
posely keeping the price down in
order to pick up lots here End there
at starvation figures. All accounts
agree that there is no reason why
the price should be lower than last
year. Twenty cents is what nearly
all local growers are looking for
ward to, and as a matter of fact,
expect to realize.
Mr.. Heron has above $4,000
pounds Of hops, the product of his
1o-acre yard. His yield was some
thing over 1,1oo pounds per acre.
His hops, he figures, have cost him
ST, 500. At twenty cents, they will
bring S., 600.
Lasl year, Mr.. Heron sold at rs
cent. He could by holding, have
secured a better figure. There was
particular reason however, why
he sold at rs. There was a mort
gage Of S., 500 on his farm. It is
what is known as the Bundy place,
and the mortgage had been there
for 20 years. In that long time,
it had neither grown larger or small
er, and with an offer in hand fo1
his hops that would cancel the debt
and blot out the mortgage, there
was terrible temptation to accept.
After some hesitation, Mr.. Heron
concluded not to gamble on futures
and sold. applying the money al
once to the cancellation of the debt
that had hung over the farm SC
long.
