Dig Hnother Well

"You never miss the water till

twill naught avail to sit around
and sigh. You will never want for
water, no matter where you dwell,
if you practise this philosophy:
get busy-dig another we'll.
"The mill can never grind with
the water that has passed. butlf
you did no grinding while the
water was running fast, begin right
now to do some grinding -you
have time yet if you try-for the
mill is still upon the bank, and the
stream s not yet run dry.
You cannot reach the ladders

find the purest water is the deep
est in the ground. Many men, ere
they reached the. top, often slip
ped and fell, but when they MISS
ed the water, they-dug another
we'll.
Even if you've tried and failed,
don't give up in despair; don't
blame the world because you fail
ed-that would not be fair Don't
curse and say you've had no
chance, and hard-luck stories tell;
Just pull off your coat and go to
work, and-dig another we'll.
You can't recall the water that
has passed, nor refill the we'll that's
dry; and it's no use to sit around
and worry and fret and pout and
cry. Just drop that frown and
don smile, and jump and yell:
THE only way to sSlve this prob
lem is, to-dig another we'll.

Norwich bulletin., 1909-10-30
THE MAN or FIFTY.

Has the man Of so no bright pros
poets In life?
Notwithstanding the hard-lucl ex-
periences of an occasional man Of so.
there is no doubt that there are as
many chances in life for him as there
ever was.
tt does and always has depended
more upon what the man of so is than
upon the fact that he is so. A man
unskilled at 50--who is superior at
nothing. not even at being prompt to
work, has not much to expect at the
hands of the Industrial world or at the
hands Of the charitable world, either.
He has simply been tried and found
wanting.
Skill is always in demand whether
1t has had 50 years of experience or
more. Usefulness is always in good
demand whether it has seen so years
or more. Mediocreness is in light
demand at any age before so and in
no demand afterwards. 1t can wan
der about looking for employment II
cannot give satisfaction at and round
up list Of failures that makes 1t
appear as II life was not worth liv-
ing. and for such II isn't.
1t is up to everybody who works TO
become proficient at something and
to be equal to the demand. Employ
ers Of men expect~to get something for
their money, they do not pretend to
be running charity bureaus. The man
who rs profitable is wanted, and the
man who is not has all the room there
is and time there is for complaint.
The trouble is not with a changed
world but with an Improbable indi-
vidual who really represents a mis-
spent life. There are skilled work
men Of 70 today who cannot be spared
there are dolts of 30 who have no
fast hold upon anything.
The man who at so only has COM
plants to make of the world usually
has record behind him that he should
hide.
