THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
Heart to Hieart
Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
LABOR, te*
80 far as my observation goes, fei
n*D work themselves to death.
They may worry themselves to deatl
nr dissipate while working and so bun
the candle at both ends, but good
bard, honest work is a tonic rathe
than a health destroyer.
Don't be afraid of doing too much
If you get the work habit the esertloi
| will not exhaust yon. It Is the mei
who jvork by fits and starts that ar
worn out by the unaccustomed effor
rather than those who keep plugglni
■t it all the time.
The only thing is to keep np you
Interest, buoyancy and spirit If you
work ever become* drudgery, tbfcn 1
will wear you out, but not otherwise.
Moreover, we become' capable tovd
by doing. Man h "» »» almost limit
less capacity to adjust himself to what
ever task is before him.
We must economize In work as in al
other things, make no false motlom
and conserve our nerve force. Then
Is 4 secret about efficiency, and happj
Is be Who finds it.
A i)ian can Invent new and bette
ways of doing-things. Just as he cai
Invent a machine. There are more la
bor saving devices thaa are made on
of wood and ateel.
It is all right to talk aboot abort cuti
to success. Even short cots require la
bor—labor of the. brain.
I have beard of a few Indolent greal
men, but never of one who was greal
because of his Indolence. Moreover, I
have suspected that even those met
who are seemingly averse to ontwftn"
effort keep ap a prodigious thinking.
Did It ever occur to you that work
will and win begin With the same let
terT The same la true of last Bess, loaf
ing and loser.
The highway of achievement Is paved
with labor. It is the only way to keej
out of the mud.
TIB GOOD OLD SUMNER TINE.

la hummln' aroun* •('ln
In that sort of an easy, *0 aa you please.
Or way they bum roun' In,
When you ort to work an* you want to
not
An' you en' your wife agrees
It's time to apade up the garden lot.
An' the green gits back on the trees.
Why, I like, as I aay, alch tlmea as these
Whan the sraes. you know, gits book or
the trees.
-James Whltcomb Riley.
I quote from memory, not having
aeeij the poem In fifteen years, so da
not mind If there shoald happen to be
a comma misplaced. But, at anjr rate,
the sentiment Is there.
Well, It is coming again,, the "good
old summer time." Tou can feel It In
the air right now.
And I like It—don't yonT Every sea
son Is good, but summer—well, sum
mer is the wine of the year.
The bees like summer, and the bees
have more sense than some people.
The birds like summer. 80 do the
flowers. So does the small boy.
Some people picture heaven as •
place where summer never ends
Well, they do not teve tot* to heaven
to And that condition. They can get it
In southern California or down around
the equator.
But there cab be too much of even
as good a thing as summer.
These little wiiiter absence* heighten
oar enjoyment of It, Just u we appre
ciate home the more when we bare
been sway.
Winter la a good thing because K
wbeta the appetite for Mian.
The sun la a magician who toy mere
ly looking upon the fields and tree*
covers them with verdure and bloe
soma.
He la an artist wbe nsee the earth
as a canvas and pla«a*'th«raet> colon
compared to which man's best crea
tions are bnt weak Imttaflons ao>l
daubs.
He marches northward, and ■ belt of
green advances before him announcing
his coming.
When be has reached his farthest
north our bleak climate baa the miracle
of June.
No wonder the ancients fell oa their
faces before the rising son.
When summer comes man woaM
cease Work, so enraptured Is be with
the mere luxury of living.
The sun look* upon the wheat fields
and they grow golden Into harvest,
upon the flowers and they tarn their
faces toward him with pleaerare, upon
the fruits and they blush red la ripen
ing.

WASHINGTON.
It la a magic name, that of the na
tion's founder, who is becoming, in
tarn, the father of the republican era
In other lands
It la befitting that this spotless name
should grace the capital dty of the
greatest of republics, for H la a con
tinual suggest inn of the character that
repobMc ehouM take.
It is said by competent authorities
that when present plana have been
carried out Washington will be the
moat beautiful city in the world.
Even now it la beautiful. a dty of
parka and broad stieeta, of plsaaaat
homes and public buildings worthy ef a
great nation.
The phoenix may have riaaa from Ma
ashes, bat Washington Ufa 11/ arose
from a swamp.
T«t its growth la a naba| to aa
Idaal capital la no BMre of a miracls
than that of the nation about it. wWeh
has sprang up In the earn time (ma
oat of a wfldaraeaa.
Some people call Waahlngton a aootb
ern city, bat this la a misnomer. It k
both soot hern and northern, with sons
of the beet features of each section.
On* to appreciate Waahlngton maat
ride around It and took down on It

well worth study even in It* present
uncompleted state. What then, will
It be when the plant of It* builder*
have been translated into parks and
Bail*, memorial*, statue* aud clonic

The parking i* bring continued along
the bank* of tbe Potomac. There the
Lincoln memorial will atand. The
capitol will be, in part, surrounded by
parks, one extending to the new Union
station and po*tofflce and another down
past the agricultural building* to the
Washington monument
In vision on* can **e the heights
about the city crowned with beautiful
home*. Already theae are beginning
to appear.
A* the republic advances in wealth,

■gin* Washington becoming a second
Athens or Home, a center of poetry
and learning, an Intellectual as fell as
_« political and social capital.
An American can take a greater
pride In hi* country after looking upon
her capital city.
TIE OPTIMIST.
It we are looking for good we can
generally And It The unlverae Itself
Is good. All we need to discover that
fact la to relate ourselves to It In tbe
right way..
Pessimism Is usually a case of in
growing egotism.
The world ba* not treated n* In the
way we imagine we should be treated;
hence we take a dyspeptic view of
things generally.
For tbe most part pessimism is seir
advertised failure.
When we think everything and every
body el*e I* wrong people will con
clude that we are wrong, uud In *o do
lng they will hit the aore spot.
I know a man who la alway* predict
lng dire calamities that never happen
He ia a failure.
The same man la forever talking of
1 the things he once did.
I know another man who lets the
things ho Is doing now speak fur them
selves.
He la ■ success.
He is also an optimist
There are dire things happening-to
the world—earthquakes. Urea. flooda
and disasters—bat there ere so many
optimists that they repair the injur;
and build better than before.
Ban Francisco Is a greater city thnu
she waa wben a slip In the earth's
crast laid her low.'
1 hare no doubt that the many cities
that recently suffered from cyclone
and flood will be better Ave years
hence than before the elements struck
them. They are filled with American
optimists, who have the will that trl
nmpha over accident
Whether or not optimism ia alwaya
Justified, It generally Juatifles Itself. It
helps to make the good In which It be-
Hevea.
Moreover, the optimist escapes jt
whole flock of forebodings about im
aginary ilia.
SOMETHING NEW UNDER TIE SUN.
Many good people seem to be alarm
ed because there are a uumber of new
culta in the world.
Why, bless these dear, timid souls,
there bave always been new culta.
Some of them bave succeeded and have
become the accepted doctrines of tbe
race Others bave diaappenred.
But there was never much really to
be feared from any of them.
Today we are in a state of transition
A new generation la coming to tbe
front and la insisting on re-examining
everything—religion, politics, buslnen*.
Industry, labor, tberapentlcs and even
our ayatems of finance and taxation
The young men of our age are ttol
i content to take the word of the past
They want to know for themselves
The so called new cults are mere!)
•Sorts to Improve condition*
Personally I believe In aome of them
: Ud la others 1 do not believe, but I
am not afraid of any of them
If they are not good they will noi
last Meantime they will make peoplt
thlak.
Troth la not ao puny that It neet
fear one fad or a thousand. It oat
Uvea all fads. For if the tads turn
any substantial reaaon for being tbej
succeed and cease to be fads, and II
they have not they disappear and. emu
to be anything at ail.
For centuries a lot of good peoplt
bare said that man never could Ay
but man to flying. Now a number oi
other good people are disturbed be
cause so many aviators are killed
Well, that Is sad and deplorable, but
through this tragic experience we art
learning how to Improve the aeroplane
so that danger Is decreased. In tiim
it may become as safe to ride In tb
air as on the earth or the sea.
Others are troubled bora nee of too*
cults, haallng cnlta, eoffraglst colts, tlx
labor movement, the new woman move
meat, shifting standards as to matrl
■my, socialism ud what not Then
Is nothing to be afraid of In all tlwm
things. Most of them profess to sect
better way* and better days. Tbej
provoke dtoenseton Eventually w
win sift ont the cbsff from the-wheat
■Si whatever contribution of good an)
cf these cults has to offer will be ao
"Try all JUnga; bold Oat that wbk-t
to good." J?
There Is no more reaaon to be afrak
of a new cult than of a new baby.
