If people who spend time gossip- ing-about you and me would devote the time to their own affairs they ~ wouldn't be so envious of our suc- cess. That's what hurts ‘em. We have succeeded where they failed. Folks who are successful don’t have any time to meddle with other folks business. Avoid a gossiper as you would a skunk. They are in the same class, People who boast of their ances- tors should be more thoughtful. Gen- erally speaking, it is the said ances- tor (and not they) who aré entitled to all the credit and I dare say there are many ancestors who aren't any too proud of their decendants, It begins to look as if there isn’t men enough in the U. S. to take care of the dependents, to say nothing of goin’ to war, There are not more slackers now than before. They are always with us. The call to the colors is simply showing ’em up. I asked a man the other day what a slacker was. “Oh,” said he, “it’s the fellow who cussed Wilson for not goin’ to war and who now stands around with a long face and tells of the horrors of war. Who hides be- hind a skirt and lets his wife take in washin’ to take care of the dependent slacker.” Have you noticed (I have) how very fast our old men are- passing away? Where are the old men of yesteryear. Men who were in the prime of life a little while ago. Also my friends, the years pass swiftly. I have in mind as I write oné who is old in years, one at whose side I like to sit and learn. He is a great suf- ferer and yet he don’t complain. Ripe.in years? His life is a gentle benediction to all who come into in- timate relations with him. But he 1s failing day by day and none may say how soon he will leave the cross of life. As I talked to him these lines came to me: Where are you going so fast old man? Say, where are you going so fast? There's a valley to ctoss and a river to. ford; There's 2 clasp of the hand and a parting word, Antes a sigh for the vanished past, old The beautiful vanished past. t Country Happenings. Mrs. A. L.
