live ALL TOO FAST
Many Constantly In a Fever Of
Movement.
One Of Mans Greatest Mistakes 10 "a
Allow Himself to BE Constantly
Under Pressure and Intense
Nervous Strain.

Some OF us are trying to live our
lives all at once. We would cramp the
slow development Of years into the
coming month or week we would com.
press the work Of an hour into the
next five minutes. Nature-patient
tireless, cunning laborer that she is
does not favor this plan. She takes her
time-"Because 1t is hersw some one
makes prompt answer "She has com.
mand Of all the time there Is. She can
be as deliberate as she chooses. We
must make haste because our little
lives are SO soon clipped of. The dark.
ness too early rounds our day. Our
work must be put through with speed
and under pressure or we shall not fin.
ish."
The best work even by these feeble
mortal hands and minds of ours is
done not In fever but in a calm. Art
(and the exception proves the rule)
achieves most nobly when it achieves
with tranquility. The personal cir
cumstances of the artist may be dis.
tressing. He rises above them. His
dream translates him to the skies
above his mundane environment, His
passion for the truth leads him to for
get that he Is poor and hungry and
misunderstood. He writes his book or
paints his picture or composes his
sonata in a land where it is always
summer and the skies are blue and
tears are never shed and none ever
dies. By the force of a creative imag-
inati0n, he establishes for himself a
new Heaven and a new earth, and his
spirit Is tranquil because it Is trium-
phant over the pinching and gnawing
circumstances.
| Artist or artisan, each of us must
learn to make the pilgrimage step at
a time. Let not an anxious forecast
corrugate the brow with the thought
of a morrow sufficient unto itself.
Epicurean delight lives for the mo-
ment; mans more serious purpose
in existence would often do well to fol-
low the example. We can be sure as
to what we wish to do with our lives !;
we can have great and generous aim !;
we can appoint a goal and know the
point we wish to reach and the way by
which we are proceeding. But the
miles we measure forward with the
spiritual eye are not to be o'erleaped
in the next second. We must plod. We
must be content with wayside inn to-
night, and the next night, and many
nights, perhaps, before we reach our
haven and our home.
1t will not do to disparage this good
ly earth as vale of tears for all the
sorrow and all the blackness that we
see. The earth is full of fallible peo-
pie like ourselves, trying and coming
to grief and rising to give battle again
In the inextinguishable hope of victory.
We are more alike than we realize.
We are marching army, with leaders
whom we must obey. Like good SOL
diers we must keep the cadence with
the rest. If we grow careless and
straggle, we dislocate the whole pro-
ceeding. We came into this world
bound to be submissive to its dis
cipline. To defy the natural laws is
only to be miserable and to make mis-
cry for others. If war shall teach us
to respond with promptness to COM
mand, out Of its horrors will be born
blessing.-Philadelp Public Led

A. s. j. CAMPBELL ONLY
RAISED THE "ANTE"
Popular Elk, Asked tocontribute Five
Dollars to the Red Cross Fund,
Forked Over Ten

Al. s. j. Campbell, popular member
Of the Elks and one Of opelousas'
most charitable citizens, was among
the first, if not the first, to contrib
ute his bit toward swelling the Red
Cross war fund. When approached
we believe he didn't wait to be ap-
proached-he asked how much was
expected of him. When informed that
five dollars would be his share Of the
fund, he promptly said he would raise
the limit and go them five better, i'm
mediately handing over ten dollars for
the war fund. Such men as Mr.. Camp
bell are not found everywhere and it
Is really refreshing to be able to
claim him as an Opelousas citizen
His act created no surprise, however,
among the many who know him well
for they are fully acquainted with the
fact that when it comes down to do
mating to charity he is easily among
the first.
