JUST THOUGHTS

Ridlcule Is often more blighting than
knocks OF the hammer.
Toe many OF us eem to think that
the time to say no is the next time.
Success sometimes comes from the
ability to read keep or the grass"
signs.
'"The L ord Will provide !" and that's
about as far as the lazy mans religion
ever gets.
The under dog sometimes proves
that lot Of us never do our BEST fight
ing until we are down.
Eloc alton may be a good thing, but
1t doe sn't go far enough. 1t merely
teache S us how to speak, not when.

1917

AS the youngester 1917 is en-
tered on the ledger of life, 1865
account will be marked CLOSED"
The latter has been a year freight
ed with matters of immense
historical portent, and 1917
promises to equal its record.
And as 1916 quits the stage in
favor of the new conner, the heart
of man gulps- another year
gone!
Yes, we are all getting older.
That's the message that the new
year emphasizes. 1t forces upon
us the reflection that every new
year means a step closer to the
abyss of death; and every think
ing person in Lordsburg, except
the young, who imagine they
have many New Years to ex-
perience, meets the turning of
the annual new leaf with that
mature philosophy which seeks
to assuage the decorations of the
lash of time.
Is the reflection one that an
other year of opportunity that
began so auspiciously-like all
new years begin--has gone to
waste? Or is it the reflection
that the year brought a sa~tisfact-
DRY execution of the fondly form
ulated plans of 1916?
Many Lordsburg folks try to
send out the waning year with
paeans of Notification and well
come, the ney with riotous ex-
pressions of welcome. It's a
custom that, perphaps, finds it's
highest development along the
Great White Ways of the large
cities. But this practice does
not reach the heart, merely being
one of the ar.ihc.alities of
modern civilization.
For in reality the disappearance
OF one err and tue beginning of
another is serious, solemn dole
full and melancholy. Because
down in on's heart there is no
Joy over the rapid passing of
timd-is not only''Worth money"
but is worth more than money,
being in fact the texture of life.
Man only tries to fool himself
into being joyful over the drop
ping of the sands of time.
We are all alike. We make
believe we are perfectly happy
over it, but we're not.

A young lady over at Turnip
Ridge writes the beauty editor
of The Pumpkin Hill News that
every time she eats pumpkin pie
her nose itches so much that she
has to rub it with a scrubbing
brush or sand paper for relief.
She hates to give up pumpkin
pie and also hates to give up her
nose, so she asks us to explain
the mystery. Our letter follows:
Our dear ady:-Since you didn't
give us the color and size of your
nose, the shape and age of the
pie and the brand and price of
the scrubbing brush and sand
paper, we are a little bit in the
dark in this matter, but in the
way of sisterly love we will say
that the next time pou eat pun
pkin pie please turn your nose
the other way. If that does not
stop the tickle. go to Stem Wind
er, the Pumpkin Hill Jeweler,
and have it plated, but don't
sneeze before the plating has had
time to set.
