TIE AUTUMN OF LIFE.

Many people have come to the con-
clusion that of all seasons Of the year
the fall is tho most satisfactory and
ENJOYABLE. Every season has its
drawbacks, but the gentle tapcring
of Of summertime into tho mild days

and happiness than any other time

IS the fayorite OF the romanCist, be
cause Il is the time of awakening.
After enduring the hardships and dis .
comforts of winter, after gazing Tor
months on naked trees and a bare
landscape there is certainly a vel

grccnncss and roinCarnatiou of ma

OUR INSIDE THOUGHTS.

AS man thinketh in his cart, so
is he 1t doesn't make any differ
ence where the text came from, says
the Logansport Qnd) Reporter, 1t is
the truth. and the truth is truth,
whether it be stated in the Bible or
by the veriest ragamuffin on the
street This is the way the editor be-
gins his sermon and 1t is so good we
quote the whole production.
The Creator endowed humanity with
a mind with which to think, and the
failure to use this endowment prop
erly is at the base of all human
troubles. When the prodigal son de-
cided to go away from home he didn't
think along right lines, neither would
be accept the matured right thinking
of his father. So he took his stuff
and went away and landed in the
ditch. When "he came to himself"
that is, when he began to think prop
erly, he turned around, like a sensible
boy, and went back home and to clean
living.
Education, real education, Is moth
ing but a trained ability to think. A
man may graduate from all the col
leges in the country, may have all the
degrees from A. b. to Y. Y. H., and If
he has not gained the ability to think
properly he is fool and a menace to
society.
THE fool hath said in his heart,
there is no God" In other words he
denies that the world of matter and
of mind of humanity has proven the
correctness of the diagnosis. "The
pure in heart shall see God" shall be
conscious of and understand the ways
of God, and as "the fear of God is
tho beginning of wisdom" he thinks
right thoughts, has correct visions,
sees plainly the safe and sure path,
and not only secs" but walks with
God and all the laws of God to which
he has adjusted his own life machinery
work with him and impel him on to
success and happiness. The fool falls
or refuses TO see the delicate work
ing of the perfect laws OF God, and,
seizing a rod OF iron, jams II into the
machinery, and the man and the in
strument with which he thought to

habits of living, both among rich and
poor. they are eXtravagant and profli-
gate. Common sense would recon-
mend that they live more carefully and
Keep an eye out for the emergencies
Of the future. Largely the accusation
is correct. and the average American
despises a tight wad" so thoroughly
that he would rather sin in leaning
over the other way. And if the rem
edy lies in narrowing existence down
to the barest necessaries and extreme
self -privation for the mere sake of
gain, some other way will have to be
found before the gospel of thrift will
command public respect. Thrift in
this guise does not appeal to the self
respect of the average man or woman.
1t is really vice, not a virtue. in this
form, mere dollar idolatIy that roba
life of all achievements. And moth
ing leads to more sin and sorrow than
the conception that mans chief end
In life is to get rich.

MISDIRECTE.D FRUGALITY.

Frugality and thrift are very de-
sirable talents, If we may call them
such, for the fact that many people
seem to be utterly incapable of in
cooperating them into their method Of
living leads to the inference that they
are gifts not vouchsafed to the mass
cs. They are virtues without which
success in n worldly sense is impossi-
BILE, yet they are very sparingly and
rarely practiced by the majority of
people. Some people do not recognize
them. because they involve a measure
of voluntary sacrifice that is irksome,
they mistake them for penuriousness.
A shining example of this latter phase
OF frugality was the late Mrs. Hetty
Green. renowned as Americas re-
markably rich woman. To her mind
the prevailing extravaganza of her
fellow citizens was sinful as well as
foolish. Thrift with her was a re.
ligion practiced with the zeal of o
fanatic, says the New York World
In possession Of unlimited means, shn
denied herself the ordinary comfort'l
and pleasures. She made of her lif.,

diligence at the expense of sound the
ories for the amassing of wealth.
Thrift is necessary as well as tho
part of wisdom. Many a man OF out .
standing ability and splendid talentA
has been forced to go through life on
a hand-to-mouth basis just because
the one talent of thrift was missing
from his makeup. Wise men in all
ages have urged the cultivation OF
this virtue and have deprecated
wasteful prodigality. The lesson has
been before us all our lives If we
would but heed II. But II Is very
doubtful If examples like that of Mrs.
Green have been effective in con-
verting anybody. The lesson in thrift

penuriousness and miserliness to

1t for granted that you are regular
fellow and will do everything in their
power for you unless you prove the
wrong kind. Then they will drop yoY
with speed and precision.

1t has been lonesome-doggoned

less so with this sort OF thing. When
we get back home / imagine the Hart
ford postoffice will do business with
a good many letters which bear the
address Of Nogales, Arz
California man said to me the
other day: "Arizonas got plenty of
failings, but the people here are the

no more think of inviting you up to

contact with the hard facts Of human
existence
But the autumn brings recompense.
( We can reap the fruits of our Iabors,
whether the crop be large or small.
Some OF the trees will be blighted and
withored by the errors Of former
years, but there are others groaning
beneath the weight Of a glorious har-
vest. As we have sown, so we shall
reap. We are not now so disposed TO
quarrel with the arbitrament of fate.
II we have lost the capacity to enjoy
some of the things that made youth
ontrancing, we have in return gained
The quality of seeing good where we
overlooked it before; we have found
the world not so hard nor inhospit-
able as we once thought il; we have
learned TO look behind misfortunes
and see the compensating blessings;
we have found out that it is not all
OF life to live, but that we have a
great joy to grasp in scattering kind
ness and brotherly love among those
we meet; and we have discovered that
Ieace and brotherly love are stronger
weapons for good than the unguided
enthusiasm of our youthful days. 1t
j. a time of softening the hard lines
Of life, of getting a new and happier
viewpoint of existence. of learning to
see things in truer light and extend
ing charity to all men. The man
who has reached his autumn has
found the period with the fewest sor-
rows and the most joys Of all the
years of his earthly journey.
