POISE

*>??? ?# Mm, Ualnnity ??

1'HKJ man who wM me my ticket at
A the Grand Central itatlon ni
wrlnkleless and placid In his appear
ance. He cams Into the office Just as
I arrived, and relieved the clerk who
had previously been there. He re
moved his coat deliberately and
knag It up without haste or agitation,
straightening the collar and smooth
ing sat the wrinkles In the sleeves. He
adjusted his tie carefully and brushed
back hit hair, speaking to a follow
clerk In the meantime, all the while
oblivious of the gathering line be
hind me.
When he was ready to wait on me,
he went at the Job without haste or
agitation. He confirmed my reserva
tion calmly; he made out my ticket
slowly; he consulted all sorts o( tables
and guides with a deliberation that
revealed the fact that he waa not In
fluenced by the pasaage of time. He
was unmoved by the Irritation ot the
woman behind me who wanted to
catch the six fifteen train.
When he finally had everything
looked up and written In and pasted
together and calculated and the ticket
slipped Into Its outer clothing, twenty
minutes had passed. The man had
poise; he had self-control; be knew
| that the line behind me would keep
up all day and all night and he was
not going to allow a little thing like
that to worry him. It the woman did
not get the six fifteen train there was
another going later.
And this state of mind explained
why his cheeks were so round and his
brow so unfurrowed and his actions so
calmly deliberate. He could go on
doing his work for ninety years with
out a nervous quiver; he would al
ways seem uninfluenced by the rush
ing crowds constantly going by him.
I am not sure that he was not over
doing this seK-control a little, but
most ot us could take a lesson from
him. We worry too much. We rush
into things headlong and do them
badly. We lose our heads In a crowd
or In stress of one sort or another or
In meeting the unexpected because
we do not center our attention upao
the main business In hand. We are
thrown off oar balanoe by little
things ; we have no poiae.

Because of heavy rainfall much loss
of nitrogen fertilizer has occurred from
the fields of Richmond County; only
half a crop is the outlook and so coun
ty agent W. H. Barton is pushing his
campaign for planting soil Improving
legumes this fall. The total orders for
vetch seed have now reached 15,270
pounds.
A beehive In a bank Is an unusual
occurence, but County Agent H, H.
Edge of Harnett County thought It
was the best way to demonstrate the
use of a modern hive to the most peo
ple and the First National Bank ot
Dunn was glad to become an apiary
for the day.
A vain man is fortunate. In that he
; doesn't have to admit It.
