REAL VETERAN OF THE SOIL
Connecticut Farm Hand Worked Fifty Years for One Family, and
 Died at Eighty.

According to Hartford COurant
 recently man in his eightieth year, of whom the newspapers said little, yet in some ways his career was as unique as to demand some cOnSidera- tiOn. He was a farmer, had spent his life in Iarm work and for fifty years had been employed by one family. The Civil war had just ended when he be- gan his term of service as a typical Connecticut farm hand. who ate his meals with his employer and the mem bers of his employers family, and who reserved and exercised the right of criticizing his employers acts and de- cisiOns, if need be, at all times and in all places.
 He saw his employer grow old and go the way of all the earth, but went on with the farm work In the employ of his son, who had taken his fathers acres and worked with and for him un- til the son went from youth to we'll past middle age and was able to mus ter for work gOOd-Sized group of grandsonS of the original employer. At last he reluctantly admitted that he was growing old and, of his own vOli- ton, left his employment and, at last, when the malady which killed him af- ter three days seized him, it found him at work in q garden. There are not many men who spend their entire lives in single occupation and still less who work fifty years for one family.

EASY TO BLAME "0VERWORK"
But According to Physician Few Real Iy Suffer Because They Try
 to Do Too Much,
A doctor of very wide experience has

A doctor of very wide experience has noted this phenomenon: every day men come to him, broken down in health; and almost invariably they inform him that the cause Is "over- work"
 "Yet, on further questioning, this doctor finds that virtually none of his patients work as hard as he does, Yet he is well and they are sick: he is strong and able to do his work without exhaustion, and they can do little or no work any more.
 This Is hlS deduction: that their breakdown was not due to work. but to terrible load of psychological and physiological habits they had been carrying-a load so great that a very little work in addition overtaxed their waning strength.
 What are these habits? They vary with the individual, and their aspects are innumerable.
 Work-just plain, wholesome hard work, either physical or mental-hurts very little. It hurts healthy people people who are healthy in mind and body-nOt at all.
 What many people call "overwork" Is fretting over their work-wOrry.
 What many other people call "over- work" is loading their system with poison by Overeating.-Exc

 per SyndIcate,)

l
 Bubby rubbed his shoes on the scrn per until his feet burned before enter ing Miss Bassett's immaculate kitchen with his strawberries. She was famed for being the neatest housekeeper in Westbury. Microbes hurried by her door, but never entered, and it would have seemed a sacrilege to have car ried dust into that speckless domain.
 Come in. Robert" she called in her firm, clear voice. Here again she was different. Nobody else ever called him by the name his gOdfatherS and god mothers had given him, unless indeed 1t was father at certain unfOrgettable times when he desired an interview in the wOOdshed. He looked with ad- mlring eyes on the spotlesS floor and shining stove, while Miss BasSett emp tied the luscious fruit into a big vel low bowl. Still he thought fOndly of the old kitchen at home, and the couch sagged by many a jolly ride on it's springs with Tiger, the ancient family cat. Also in the corner was the pleas ant table full of fathers farm jour nals and mothers big work basket. gen. erally yawning with his stockings full of alarming holes.
 Mary is going to have a larger gar den than usual this year, isn't she" asked Miss Bassett as she counted the money into Buddy's hand out of her tidy apron pocket.
 Buddy did not answer for a moment. He wondered if she noticed his grimy knuckleS. Mary had warned him be- fore he left home to scrub up.
 "IeS'm." he finally said in answer to her question. She wants to raise enough vegetables to can lot for mother, besides all she sells She pays me commission, tOO," he added proudly.
 Miss Bassett smiled "Marys smart girl and pretty one, and I be- lieve likes her summer farming better than reaching in the winter"
 Bubby liked te hear his sister praised and his estimation of Miss Bassett rose, especially when she returned from the pantry with two sugared dOughnuts.
 They had not had anything as un- warlike as that for several months at | home
 He told Mary of his conversation with Miss BaSsett on his return. Mary |
