By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1879

IF you are an American you prob
ably have great respect for that
American word, hustle" If
you employ help, no doubt you use
that expression, Get a hustle on"
which has been dignified by CLASH
fication in Mr.. Bells The Worth
of Words"
Getting a hustle on" is sup
posed to be the first long stride to-
ward any success in life. 1t is an
excellent thing, indeed, to feel i'm
PEELED to put all your powers into
immediate action.
Every human being is a reser-
voir of the energy which is back
of all creation. The more fully he
realizes that fact and the more
earnestly he puts that energy into
action the more positive and imme-
diate are the results.
There is such a thing, however,
as everlasting, The continual
hustler" who never rests and
never allows any one about him to
rest at times defeats his own ends.
He breaks down with the nervous
strain of his own hurry and causes
others to break down.
Aside from these direct disasters
he is the indirect cause of innum-
cradle accidents and misfortunes,
which he attributes to ill luck
or "carelessness" of others.

Science Teaches Acct
dents and Fatigue To
Be Closely Related.

This carelessness may in count
less cases be traced to the door of
the hustler.
The scientific men have decided
that there is a close relationship
between fatigue and accidents. In
vestigation of the cause and con-
ditions leading to accidents has
given an interesting number of
statistics to prove that as work
man grows more fatigued he be-
comes more liable to meet with ac-
cidents and to produce them.
This is the scientific argument
for shorter hours for man and
beast
The Investigators found that in
each succeeding hour Of the first
half of the days work accidents be-
come more numerous, while after
the midday rest during the first
hours Of the afternoon they were
fewer Then later in the afternoon
the number of accidents increased
until toward the end of the second
half Of the day the proportion was
larger than for the latter half of
the morning hours.
Therefore the scientists argue
that short rest spell in the mid
die of the afternoon would tend to
decrease the number of accidents.

THE BOY AND LEARNING.

Editor The Georgian:
Your editorial. The College
Man" is a most timely article,
and hits the nail on the head. The
parent that has had to hustle
from early youth out in the world
taking and giving hard knocks
that make men, seems to think
in many cases that his son should
be saved that which made a man
of him and is essential to making
man of his boy. Hence the boy
is sent to school for the best part
of his life. when his mind is ca
pablo of absorbing things that
are worth while and things that
are not taught in books at all,
The son is thus put far away
from the real activities of life and
when he has a diploma, a frat pin
and a college yell ne feels that
the world is at his feet. When
he awakes, if he ever does, he
finds that there are very few of
the problems of daily life that
can be solved by algebra. and
that Greek roots and Latin Clas-
sizes play little part in the earning
of daily bread. The fact that the
great work of the world is done
by hands and not by brain power
seems to be the last thing taught
in schools. Until boys are taught
that manual labor is the highest
class of work; that work with
the hands, directed by the brain,
brings in the highest wage; that
no kind Of physical toll is dis
honorable, and that true educa-
ton is the fitting of the body and
mind to the carrying on of some
specific physical work, in which
the muscles Of the body play the
most important part. until this is
done education q : given to-day is
at fault. All education that tends
TO take the mind and body of q
boy from nature and natural life
is wrong.
A boy. coming out of a college
with diploma, may think he is

inherited from papa, and who had
never made dollar Of his own.
The best luck that can ever fall
to a woman is TO marry an ener-
getic, capable young fellow and
help him make his fortune. but
the worst fate that ever befalls
a girl is to be tied to a shiftless
ne'er-do- well, who fails at every
thing he tries to do.
Therefore, before I married a
man I'd make it my business to
find out whether he had strength
enough to stand on his own feet,
or whether he would be one of
those clinging vine men that
somebody else has to support all
Of his days. I'd know. for one
thing. that I should be hungry
and need clothes after marriage
Just IS much as ! did before, and
also shat l shouldn't have much
respect for a husband who wasn't
man enough to hold his place
among other men.
Then I should positively refuse
to marry any man who wasn't a
suffragist. and who didn't believe
that women had right to have
a half Of the pleasures and per-
quiSitpS Of the world should
know that the man who thought
that women in general were only
fit to be classed with criminals,
idiots and the insane would make
the sort of a husband who derides
his wife's opinions, refuses to give
her an allowance, and who re-
CARDS her as an upper servant to
minister to his lordly self

Short Rests During the
Day Enrich Employers
in the Long Run.

Let your horse relax and rest at
intervals during the day. When
1t is a possible thing to do, even
at the cost of little money, hire a
fresh animal for half a day and let
your own toiling beast rest. He
will last longer and do better serv-
ice as a result.
Instead of the continual CRY of
Get a hustle on you :" say to your
helpers occasionally, "All relax
and rest five minutes" Set the
example yourself and then rouse To
work with your old American bat
tie cry if you like.
But how much better if the new
generation of Americans would
cultivate the spirit of earnestness
instead of that of continually
"hustling." 1t is a great thing to
be in earnest. But
The hurry of the times affects us so
In this swift rushing hour. we
crowd, we press
And thrust each other backward as
we go.
We do not pause TO lay sufficient
stress
Upon that good, strong word, earn
estness."
In our impetuous haste. could VIC
but know
It's full, deep meaning, its, vast i'm
port; oh,
Then might we grasp the secret
of success.
In that receding age when men
were great,
The bone and sinew of their mr.
pose lay
In that one word. God loves an
earnest soul
Too earnest to be eager. Soon or
late
1t leaves the spent horde breath
less, by the way.
And stands serene, triumphant
at the goal.

EDDYTORIUI.

We be goin to write a Eddy
toriul on this occasion entitled "The
Bewties of Nachure" which we per-
SOON will go down in the history
throughout the ages as a dassick.
Tother day being as we wasn't
very busy we TUX day off to wan
der forth all by ourse1f up hill and
down dale as it were and thus kom-
nrune with Nachure in her most
gentlest mood.
In Our perambu1ashions (for the
benefit of Our more ignorunter sub
scribers we would sujjest that they
look up the meaning of aforesaid
! word perarnbulashions in the dick
shionary) we left the town of
Bingville fur behint and strolled
along the verdant clad banks of
Snake Crick for a mile or so down
the crick with Our hands c1asped
befint Our back and our head
bowed reverently on our chest as
we thort beautiful and noble thorts.
When we reached the dam just
above Hez Sawyer's saw111ill, we
set down on the brink of the dam in
the shade of a tree whilst the bees
buzzed from flour to flour near us,
as the worter gurgled along at our
feet and the white fleecy clouds
moved najestickally acrost the blue
sky. We say as We set there gloat-
ing as it were over the wonders of
Nachure we were suddintly TUX
with severe pain in the back Of
the neck that caused US SIGH sur
prise and CONSERVATION that we in
advertently slipped often the edge
of the bank into the crick clean over
Our head and come blamed near be-
ing swep over the dam to Our doom.
AS good luck would have it, we
managed to grab holt of a few
rushes which growed on the edge
of the bank and thus saved ourself
and emerging from the cold wor-
tiers soaked to our skin and with
our feelings injured considerable.
Upon investigation as to what
unseen power had inflicted SIGH a
pain upon US we was good cal an
noyed to discover that we had set
down on the ground under the tree
right beside a yallerjackets' nest.
While we was STOPPING over in this
attitude of investigation two more
yallerjackets accomplished their ne
farious designs on our person,
whereupon we grabbed our hat in
our hand and Lit out for Bingville
as hard as we could run. In spite |
of the speed which we made we
was stung three times more between
