Column Dedicated to Tired

Evening Tide.
The Close OF The Year.

The close OF the year is always a
time for serious thought and reflec-
ton. The past crowds upon us at
such a time with far more than usu-
al intensity and especially forces upon
our attention our faults. failures and
mistakes. Let us look them squarely
in the face and profit by them. The
wise man always does this, but tho
fool never The latter goes on commit
ting the same follies and making the
same mistakes, never profiting by his
experience, to say nothing OF the e1-
perience of others. Every man makes
mistakes 1t may not be his fault the
first time. but it is il he makes the
same mistake second time. We be-
lieve that the secret OF success with
those who succeed, and the cause of
failure with those who fail, will be
found largely in the ability and dispo-
sition to study the causes OF both sue
cess and failure, not only in ones own
experience. but In that OF others. The
farmer now has leisure to review the
operations of the year and he should
do 1t candidly and critically. Make q
complete analysis of every important
operation. Find the weak places in il
and trace them to their origin. Moth
ing win prepare one so thoroughly for
the operations Of the year to come as
this kind of searching investigation.
And while we are about this bust
ness we should look just as carefully
into cur record OF moral responsibility.
We should be far more anxious to inn
prove character and morals than to
improve our farms. Serious study OF
our weak points and OF means TO
strengthen them is a very profitable
business at any time and IL pursued
assiduously will strengthen and de-
velop all that is good and admirable in
our natures. and make us better,strong-
er, nobler men and women as the years
go by. And the time will come in the
life of every one when such n record Of
honest earnest, persistent effort TO inn
prove will acord far greater satisfac-
ton than anything else In his account
with this world. We can wish no bet
ter thing for all our readers than that
they begin the new year animated by
a firm resolve to turn all its experience
into profit for themselves. mentally.
morally, socially and materially, and
then to faithfully carry out the resolu-
ton.
