TIRED OF IT ALL"

We all have it, that tired feeling.
Most of US get the impression now and
then Of the futility of effort We plug
away day by day until We get sorry for
ourselves. It's a grind, this steady
going to labor in the morning and COM
ing away at night. We have periods
Of dissatisfaction with ourselves and
with the world in general 1t comes
upon us at times that We are the blind
horse on the power sweep going round
and round until the inevitable day
when we shall be dragged out and an
other horse take our place to go round
and round ahead of the lever for his
time. We all get it now and then. A
touch Of liver congestion. late hours or
overwork makes the whole world kin.
There is a streak of pessimism a yell
low streak in all Of US. But it is alb
normal. It is congestive. Mankind Is
normally optimistic and clear-eyed in
stead of jaundiced.
Two men were talking the other day
One had been pretty well interested in
larger business affairs but things hadn't
gone just his way and he is working
on a salary past middle age. He was
complaining of himself He figured he
was considera BILE of a failure. 1t wasn't
cowardly complaint which puts all
blame on others but dissatisfaction
with himself He thought he hadn't
done much in the world simply because
| he hadn't a big touring car and big
| house and a couple of hundred thous-
ands to leave his children. He had a
touch Of mental jaundice.
He was worrying about it. The fell
| low hasn't any money. but he is a
pretty big success just the same. He
| has raised a goodly family in comfor.
and with opportunity for good educa-
ton AS his boys grow up they strike
out for themselves. stay clean and are
making good. They aren't setting the
world on fire. but they are dependable
Woodworking young men whose ser
vices are demanded because they are
what they are. He has been a decent
man and good citizen all his life. His
neighbors like him. The man has been
a success.
That's about all there Is to 1t II we
would believe it. There is many a mar
with a boy and a big automobile who
rues the day he made the combination
There is many mother whose hair is
gray in sorrow because her standard OF
success failed to apply when she at
tempted to measure her own girl by it
When il comes 20 the last ANALYSIS OF
success there's plenty Of people living
on $3.50 a day more successfully thar
others on $50, 900 year Not that rich
people are necessarily unhappy or theil

THE WRONG FACTORY.


dark haired young man called at
the Hoag feather buster factory, last
week. and stated that he desired to
purchase an automobile buster. The
Senior Hoag said they could accom-
modate him and exhibited a short
handled feather buster as soft as a
maiden's cheek, and warranted not
to scratch the smoothest vanished
surface. The young fellow shook his
head. He was sent upstairs to the
office where they tried to sell him one
of those dustless busting rags. After
dint of questioning and explanation it
was learned that he was in the market
for linen duster that he could wear
on the road on Sunday in either auto
mobile or carriage. He was sent to a
clothing store. He left uusing upon
the various kinds of busters made to
satisfy the demands of the trade. and
rather prejudiced against those made
Of feathers.

We have been advised to look on the

resent the implication OF there always
being sunny side. But that we may
resolutely refuse to look at the un-

THE oIlD WArER MILL.

Twin Chamberlain in Sioux City
Journal.1
The dear old grist mil, by the sylvan.
silvery stream Is fast becoming q thing
of the past. Its rustic. dreamful days
are nearly numbered, and in its stead
we have the prim Touring plant Of the
town or city. The grist system de-
parts with the earlier type of mill-the
one at which you We're supposed to OBJ
tain flour from your own wheat, which
was not SO apt TO be as smutty or as
shrunken or mingled with weed seed
as that of your neighbor.
The farmers. frequently accompanied
by numerous members of their home
brood, generally made the trip +" mill a
memorable event in the family. After
the crops were well started in the
spring. going to mill was in natural
order Of occurrence. The time might be
May or early June, that delightful sea-
son for moonlight night or two be-
side d water course, whose music was
multiplied by the splash of an over
shot wheel. For months after the ex-
perlence was green spot In the house
hold annals. All, that string comprising
black suckers, bullheads, straw bass,
rainbow trout. club and perhaps an eel
or two! Imperishable fame came to
that old fashioned ruralist who estab-
iished record for the biggest eel
hooked in some cool sequestered run.
And how all the women folks screamed
at the sight Of the SNAKE" when it
was brought proudly home; and what
a vast deal of persuasion it took to in
duce them to prepare the creepy titbit
for the table. But eel was good, de-
liciously good, when properly served.
Then there was the turtle that John
ny was troubled by until the boy
caught the bait stealer and brought
him to the homestead and fatteneed
him in the sWill barrel for a future
date in the center of the family board.
Yes. the old grist mill is still and its
associated joys are being forgotten.

PAVEMENT 30 FEET WIDE,

Wednesday morning the city COM
missioners at their meeting decided
on a 36-foot pavement for Buckeye
and Third streets. with the excep-
ton of the block between Cedar and
Mulberry on Third, which is to be
as wide as present pavement. A
petition for a 33-foot pavement was
filed by the majority of the property
owners on Buckeye. Later another
petition was filed for the pavement
to be SO feet wide. The latter con-
tanned several names signed on the
first petition. These names were
cancelled from the petition for 49,
foot pavement, which made the ma
jority of the property owners in
favor of SO feet.

NO SCHOOL ELECTION
TO BE THIS SPRING

There will be no election of school
board members this spring. The new
law knocks out that part of the years
fun.
Under this act the three members
of the school board elected last
year will serve four years, or until
1915, those whose terms expire this
year will hold over until next year,
and at the April election in 1918
three members are to be elected to
serve four years, or until 1917.
1t had been thought by some OF
the members of the board that there
should be an election this spring,
but attorneys who looked the matter
up today declared that there Is no
provision for an election of school
board members this year.

GRAND MASTER GRAYBILL OF
WORKMAN LODGE WAS HERE
from Fridays Daily.l


Last night special meeting was
held by the Abilene chapter of the
Workman lodge with Grand Master
Graybill present. He made an in
teresting address. He told the 100
members of the lodge present that
there would not be any raise in the
insurance rates and that a change
in the insurance of the old members
as probable. He said that the plan
is to give the old members an OPP
portunity to draw out what money
they have paid in on their insurance
assessments with interest. This
change will probably become effec-
tive after the meeting of the grand
lodge in April. Speeches were also
made by different members of the
lodge. The Abilene chapter is in
good condition financially and has
a membership over 800. Several
new members were taken in last
night. Refreshments were served af-
ter the meeting.
