Mill Of Circumstances-and You

In this city, as everywhere, the mill
of circumstances is grinding away "a
hours a day-and, today, it may be
grinding your grist. 1t may be turn
ing one of the incidents of this towns
life into an opportunity for you-into
an advantage for you.
When a merchant gets caught in
"the MILL" and is pressed for cash, you
benefit in the enforced sacrifice of
some of his stock-that is, you beno-
fit if you keep posted on what is going
on "at the mill' by reading the ads.
A real estate owner gets into the
mill" and sacrifices some of his pro
perty in order to get out again-pays
his toll.
The owner of things--automobile
securities, businesses, machinery,
horses and carriages, twpewriters, Of
flee fixtures, houses. books, pictures
get into this old mill of circum-
stances" and out of their troubles
come your opportunities. They pay
the toll.
incidentally, it's better to watch the
ads and to profit by the products of
the mill" than to get caught in it
yourself. Although, if your turn
should come, an ad will usually get
you out safely.

Tw;Iiuht on the Elkhorn.

The following SKETCH written by DR..
]. f. Mackay of this city, was pub
lished prominently in the November
issue of Sports Afield,''a general
magazine of out of door life:
Memory loves to linger over hap
by hours, fondly retracing all the
pleasant paths of life, and sacred in
the storehouse of the mind are the
scenes consecrated by happy associa-
tions. Thus, to me, it is a pleasant
task to call up in retrospect the details
of hallowed days spent on streams or
in fields and woods.
OF all these agreeable reminiscent
ces, the evenings spent canoeing on
the Elkhorn afford greatest gratifica-
tion. The back water from the dam
extends up the river many miles, and
when the sun is dipping low and the
days work is done | launch my canoe
and glide silently upstream. The
water gurgles musically against the
bow of the canoe and the dip of the
paddle sends long ripples astern,
breaking the shimmering reflection of
green banks and trees festoOned with
vines. From the fields comes the
tinkling song of the bObolink or the
rapturCus strains of the meadow lark;
hushed is the croaking of the crow and
the clamor of the blue jay, lest their
noise should betray the secret hidden
in some tall elm. The skies and
fields, washed by rain, are fresh and
fragrant with countless sweet OdOrs;
in overhanging boughs that reach
down low over the water, robbins,
doves and blackbirds are brooding on
their nests. What pleasant hours
| have spent here! Here, unknown and
unheeded by a city of five thousand
people, are scenes of rare beauty,
with all the silence and mystery of
! Natures soitudes, Glance at the
map and observe how large a propOr-
! ton of the cities of the country are
located on water courses and what
infinite opportunities they afford 10
urban dwellers for recreation. What
peace and repose, what calm and so
lace lie along the pathway of the
canoeist as he glides between the
rivers green banks! Into these dim
aisles there comes no changing OF
hammers or clinking of gold, but only
the rapture of life and growth, the
beauty of youth and the essence OF
health; roses and butterflies, SONG
and zephyr, the drOning of bees, frisk
ing of lambs, rustling of leaves, pat
tering of rain, murmuring of running
water, and overhead feecy clouds
the great blue sky and the tranquil
izing influences that Nature brings tt
those who seek her healing solace al
an antidote to frazzled nerves anC
wurlu-wearlness. And all these years
while cities have been building anC
cemeteries and asylums and prisons
have been filling, the river has flowed
serenely on-an emblem of Nature
and Natures unchanging laws. Som'
one has regretted the "useless energy
wasted in canoeing, as if life had bu
one purpose. Who shall decide wha
constitutes a well spent life? ON
