BACK TO THE FARM.

Many persons will sympathize with the
editor OF an Indiana newspaper who Is
going to lose himself on n fruit ranch
on the Pacific coast because Of his ex-
cessve disappointment over defeat In his
fight to secure the postmastership In his
town, says the indianapolis Star He
says himself now that the fight is over.
that the 81. 800 salary and Incidental re-
wards OF distinction and power that the
place carries seem very small to him,
not worth grieving so terribly about.
But he made a hard fight and stronger
arms bore away the prize and he Is GO
ing out to the Pacific coast to forget 1t.
Others have done the same. An 1ndi-
annapolis physician. who tired Of the
strenuous professional game and the ex-
tremes Of climate, has gone out into one one
coast I and there viii with his his fruit @ and his
tlfalfa bringing him IA u sure and am
pie, II modest, income, he Is going to
spend the remainder Of his days in peace
and comfort. basking in that perpetual
sunshine, breathing always the air from
the blue salt sea. sleeping soundly nine
hours every night. forgetting as fast as
possible the exacting code OF professional
ethics, the fierce game of competitive
struggle in money making and in social
climbing. filling his life with his books
and flowers and the sweet companioDship
of those he loves and Will always have
near him.
A mans estimate of the game of life
in the crowded and ambattled ranks of
city workers is apt to depend very large
ly upon what success he has at 1t. So
long as his sllary keeps on growing ev-
cry year and his taxables are steadily
increasing and the amount of Difference
he gets from his fellows is In the same
proportion. he thinks 1t n pretty good
game and he gets good deal of enjoy
ment out of 1t. But when he meets with
reverses or with the first severe disaster
of his career and people that used to
flock about him talk of proposing him
for membership In the down and out
club. then he begins to wonder whether
1t is n very good game after all and
whether the less he has to do with 1t
isn't the better.
On the other hand, nobody is so quick
to pronounce the game as stale. fat
and Improbable as the successful man.
1t is he of the millions who declares
that he was happier when n bookkeeper
at SIS a month, and II is his wife who
mostly loudly protests that she longs for
the time when they were poor and lived
simply and when they spent their even
ings together with the children instead
of in mad chase for the hollow pleas
| ures that seem inseparable from money
and power. Out of all this turmoil, win
or lose. they will get who seek the fruit
| farm In the quiet valley on the Pacific
coast. One generation tires of the farm
| and seeks the city. while the next re-
verses the process. Thus the race recup-
| crate itself upon the soil. to wear it
self out again in the strenuous life. Far
away fields are green.
