Life Sweetened by Work

When the old lady, who Ii one mile
stone beyond the century mark, told
q country judge that she not only
works now, but expects TO continue
10 work as long as she lives, she out
lined an old-fashioned idea that must
nave something 10 do with the fongev-
ity she enjoys and the happy spirit she
exhibits.
Wealth and luxury foster a desire
for leisure and a great many people
have Joined the ranks OF the idle rich.
They are merely consumers and
produce nothing. They are the
ronentities In the social system and
the human parasites, who spin not and
weave not.
Their idleness enforces additional
labor upon those who have TO Work
and those who toll because they md
their pleasure In the ranks OF the
toilers.
But those who aspire to life OF
leisure are eventually disappointed II
their ambition is gratifed.
II Is not In idleness that men and
women find happiness, Or even rest
There Is nothing SO tiresome as LIE
Of idleness.
The devil soon finds something fol
idle hands to do and his payment FOL
! the service IL In tears and broken
hearts and health.
II In the active. busy person who
gets the most out Of life.
"Aunty' Morgan has reached 101
but there Is still something for hef
to do. There are tasks for everybody
Work strengthens the mind and
body. More OF the idle rich than OF
the workers complain OF their all
ments. They have more time TO per-
nit their minds TO dwell upon them
selves. Their minds finally magnify
their aches and pains. But the toilers
have something else TO think about
Those who work under proper con
ditions live natural lives. They have
the greater opportunity to live long
"Aunty" Morgan says life is still
| sweet to her. But think OF spending
a century IN idleness! IL this old LADY
had been an :dler, life would have
become monotonouss to her long ago
OF course, everybody needs rest ant
recreation. But idleness Is not rest
II has been truly said that "absenc
Of occupation IL not rest, mind quit
idle II a mind distressed"
Work brings It's own reward. An
the reward Is something worth while

The Folly of a Millionaire

studied by Mr.. Rockefeller. The
"public be damned" attitude is neither
wise nor profitable in the present
temper of the American people. he
may consider that his money and
what he does with II are matters OF
his own business, but that IL not the
theory OF government today.
AS matter OF principle the federal
process-servers should spare no means
at their command TO perform their
duty, and as a matter OF common
sense Mr.. Rockefeller ought to realize
that his defiance OF the authority OF
a house OF congress is foolish and
even worse. 1T Is a deliberate agsra-
walton of a belief, already widespread,
that men OF great wealth, particular

enough to acknowledge Murphy as his
overload. Had Dix boldly proclaimed
that he was the leader of the party,
Murphy would have done the Cover
nor's bidding as meekly as Kelly did
Cleveland's bidding. Governors like
Tilden and Cleveland and Hill had not
serious trouble with Tammany bosses.
and while these men were governor
no Tammany boss was supreme In the
Democratic councils Of the state.

shows come here with excellent news
paper criticisms from towns where

Cording To the advance officials, who
have been in Hancock recently. Every
cmploNc of the shows is under the
strictest orders to he courteous at all
times To every one and il Is claimed
by the attaches that even the most
sensitive cannot take offense at any
feature of the exhibition.
The Sparks shows are not as eX-
lensiNe as some OF the bigger CirCuseS
that have exhibited here in the past,
but are of long standing in the show
business and have in their forty fN,
years of experience been brought to
high state of efficiency.
This is the first time that the
Sparks shows have appeared here, the
company having in the past confined
it's efforts TO points farther south.
The company has in particular ex-
tended an invitation To the public To
come out and see the novel sight of
circus disembarking. The manage
ment has made arrangements To have
this scene accessible To all and IT Is
anticipated that it will bc seen 10y
