Your Opportunity

There is tide in the affairs OF
men that taken at the right time
and in the right way, gives at
least fair chance of filling out
the natural span of life.
The stop-look-listen signs be-
come more frequent as the years
go by and they are in bigger type
they become more emphatic as
maturity ripens into age.
The average American is credit
ed with the ambition to "die in
the harness.. 1t used to be in the
old western days, to meet the end
with his boots ON. But why?
Why should we not, as age
creeps on, decrease our strenuous
activities, mental and physical,
and enjoy the fruits of an ener-
getic and useful lifeq Why should
we not sit quietly and watch with
becoming pride the activities of
the men and women who are to
follow us, those whom we have
trained to continue our work, and
watch the development of enter
prises we have established?
For most of us the answer is
plain and easy, if not compliment
tary; for most of us have not ac-
quired the financial independence
that permits leisurely old age.

Punta Gorda voters assembled
near the Seminole Hotel corner
Thursday night, speaking at
length and holding the close at

perhaps, on a few voters, Punta

Our "pile" is not of sufficient d.
mansions that we do not have to
supplement it by our continued
exertions for a livelihood.
This growing old is hard pro-
position for most of us to realize
and to accommodate ourselves to.
We have to be mighty close to
complete wreck before we admit
that age is winning the game. But
it is inevitable, sooner or later,
for all of us-the time when we
have to acknowledge defeat and
take our weary way to the scrap
heap. Yet, what is more charm
ing, more splendid, more dignitied
than a gracious old age, that has
forgotten the bitterness of the bat
tie and sits quietly watching the
game of life with an interest no
less intense than if it had part in
lit?
But these warnings-what are
they, and what are they for? The
lpliancy of arteries and muscles
gradually diminishes after man
has reached his physical prime.
The strenuous exertions of the
thirties and forties overtax the
fifties and sixties. The headaches
that follow long continued and
hard thought are warnings a.
gainst it. They are warnings that
the prudent man heeds. The hard
ening of the eye tense calls for
rest for the eye. The wearied
brain resents the overtax put up
on it. They are among the signs
which unheeded, eliminate in the
sudden collapse or the broken
blood vessel in the brain, and we
call it "a stroke" 1t is the be-
ginning of the premature end that
might have been postponed for
years.
These warnings have a cause.
They are sufficient, nay, they are
a demand, to break the practice
of years and consult the doctor,
the specialist, and to follow his
advice. These signs are many.
They come in line with our great
est overtax.
The breakdown of most human
wrecks comes more from worry
than from physical exertion, and
most worries are about compare
lively unimportant details rather
than about general policies and
principles. Old age, when neces-
sity compels continued activity,
should concern itself with general
tiles and leave details to younger
men, who are in the midst of the
fight.
This world is going on without
you when you are gone Probab-
ly it will go on better and smooth
er than when you were here, and
fifty years will work transfer
nation that will make today look
like the Middle Ages. You are
not essential to the worlds pro-
gress, for it will continue without
you just the same as if you had
never existed. But you owe it to
the world to stay in it as long as
you can and to keep yourself as
fit as possible to do your part. to

blance was unmistakable. Griswold
did not listen designedly, but he could
not help oyerhearing much Of the talk
at the other end of the table. From
II he gathered that the young woman
was lately returned from some Flori-
da winter resort; that her father had
met her by appointment in St Louis;
and that the two were going on to
gether; perhaps to Wahaska. since
that was the place name oftenest on
the lips Of the daughter.
II was at this point that the apex OF
Philistine contentment was passed and
the reaction set in. He had been
spending strength and vitality reck.
lessly and the accounting was at hand
The descent began when he took him
self sharply TO task for the high-prieed
supper. What right had he to order
costly food that he could not eat when
the price of this single meal would
feed family for week?
After that. nothing that the obsequi-
Gus and attentive waiter could bring
proved tempting enough to recall the
vanished appetite. Never having
known what it was to be sick. Girls
void disregarded the warning. drank
a cup of strong coffee and went out to
the lobby to get cigar, leaving bis
table companions in the midst of their
meal. To his surprise and chagrin the
carefully selected "perfecto" made him
dizzy and faint, bringing a disquieting
recurrence of the vertigo which had
seized him while he was searching for
his negro treasure-bearer on the levee.
i've had an overdose of excitement,
| guess" he said to himself. fiinging
the cigar away. "The best thing for
me to do is to go down to the train
and get to bed"
He went about ii listlessly, with a
curious buzzing in his ears and a Ger.
tain dimness of sight which was quite
disconcerting; and when a cab was
summoned he was glad enough to let
a respectfully sympathetic porter lend
him a shoulder to the sidewalk.
The drive in the open air was suffi-
GENTLY tonic to help him through the
details of ticket-buying and embarka
ton; and afterward sleep came so
quickly that he did not know when the
Pullman porter drew the curtains to
adjust the screen in the window at his
feet, though he did awake drowsily
later on at the sound Of voices in the
aisle, awoke to realize vaguely that
his two table competitions of the Hotel
Chouteau cafe were to be his fellow
travellers in the Pullman.
The train was made up ready to
leave, and the locomotive was filling
the great train shed with stertorous
hissings, when red-faced man slipped
through the gates to saunter over to
the Pullman and to peek inquisitively
at the porter.

The porter knew the calling of the
red-faced man only by intuition; but

pocket and he lied at random and on
general principles.

Would Protect Farmers of
State.

What may probably be the mean
of saving the farmers over the stat.
of hundreds of dollars perhaps thous
ands-is the warning sounded by R. H
Murphy of the Division of Extension o.
the University Of Tennessee. He urges
the farmers to beware Of "tricky
agents" who go over the state with
''the best silo made" for sale, anC
with other schemes for buying live
stock. He says that many farmers
have been deceived by such artists
when with little aid from the live
stock experts and other authorities OF
the Division of Extension such mistakes
could have been avoided.
The experts in the division of exten-
sion Of the University Of Tennessee are
rendering valuable aid to the farmers
over the state, and will gladly furnish
information and assistance in selecting
silos and in the selection of suitable
breeds of pure-bred live stock TO meet
the needs of the farmers. These men
know what they are talking about. and
their work is for the betterment of the
agricultural and live stock conditions
over the tate-they have an interest
in the welfare of the farmers, while
the smooth-talking agent is looking
after himself solely.
Mr.. Murphy gives an instance of the
helpfulness Of the division of extension
by relating the saving to the farmers
in Gibson county of something like SIS
head in the purchase of four cars of
pure-bre Hereford cattle recently.
He urges that where the farmers
have any doubts about the claims Of
these agents that seek to impose upon
the farmer of the state, that the far
mers should ct once take the matter up
with the division of extension at Knox
vile. Information will be gladly
furnished regarding the location or
purchase, breeding and feeding Of
live stock, plans, bills Of material and
specifications for the construction of
barns and silos, and any other problems
of the livestock farmer. This infOrma-
ton is free, and is secured from the ex-
perience of years and given by experts.
