The close of the year is always a
time for serious thought ami reflection
T|>e past crowds upon us as such a
time with far more than usual intensi
ty and especially forces upon our at
tention our faults, failures and mis
takes. Let us look them squarely In
the face and profit by them The
wise man always does this, hut the
fool never. The latter goes on com.
rattling the same follies and making
the same mistakes never profiting by
tilt experience, to say nothing of the
experience of others. Every man
nialtes mistakes. It may not be his
f?alt the first lime, but it is if he
njakes the same mistake the second
tint* We believe that the secret of
saadess with those who succeed, and
tljd I cause of failure with those who
fail, will be found largely in the abili
ty and disposition to study the causes
of both success and failure, not only
in one's own experience, but in that of
others. The farmer now has leisure
to review the operations of the year,
and he should do it candidly and crit
ically. Make a complete analysis of
every important operation. FTnd the
weak places in it end trace them to
their origin. Nothing will prepare one
so thoroughly for the operations of the
year to come as this kind of searching
investigation.
And while we are about tlws busi
ness we should look just as carefully

Mr Kdiiur -
\V?> think that Sin ff Tanlar g.kf .hi
Iifrf'd at cmr other btter^as h?j lias
hp.'n wors<* after our stills than ever
before. Me and Spanish held a long
consultation rh?* other night to de
tide what to do next, so we decided
to set a Irap for him We always
heard that hanana brandy would hurst
the head out of an oak barrel, much
less burst a mans head open, so we
prepared our ba\ina stuff on th?e
branch and waited for results We
itirlnt haw. long to w ait for when we
went back to our grass killer plant
the next da> we found every thing
torn up as usual and knew that the
Sheft had been there We had run off
a gallon of this split skull brandy and
left it where lie would lie sure to find
It. bo we thought sure we would get
him this time Hut the last we heard
of hhn, he was doing busbies at the
same old stand, and his bead was not
only not busted but not even cracked.
f*o wo thought out another plan We
?]ertd*d next to try him wllh wood
nlcholiol and wrote Mr S K to order
30 gallons for UK Mis reply was lhat
? l wofild only be a waste of money as
Bheff Tanlar was topper lined and
?wood alcohol would not hurt lilm a
bit. Mr 8 K advised lis to try him
wrlth water and said that as Hheff
Tanlac was not used, to water, either
Inside or outside, he thought this
would put him out of business, said
Sf It dldnt kill him he thought It
would blind him ao he couldnt see
how to find any more still* 80 ve
hare decided to set up our next still
on the Island where there Is plenty
of water all around Now when Sheff
Tanlaa makes his visit to this place,
-we af* going to pour two gallons of
pond fTater down him. then fling htm
In the pond If this dont stop htm. our
only hope of getting any gross killer
Is to get him to make ns his depu
ties. We being old hlockadera and
know the r> pes and will
trouble In running down the
We wouldnt poor so
pack water down the Sheff, but any
ibm who can hold two gallons ol
" qaart of grass killer, cer
roo* for 2 gallons of water

Now I will say to Sheff Tanlac that
if he is dillified about this water busi
ness anil wants to fight, he can step
over to the F & M Bank where he will
find Mr S. K. who will be pleased
to accomodate him. We are mighty
sorry that we could not send you that
gallon of grass killer for Krismus as
promised, but our beer freezed and
we couldnt work. But you may look
for it as soon as the weather tnoder
ates. and when you get It, we want1
you to take a big drink, then go and
blow your breath in Sheff Tanlac's
face and ax him if he dont wish his
mouth was yourn

It is part of the weakness of ynnth
to talk too inurh It were well, how
ever. If It were confined to youth.
Many women do It until they find
themselves nnd those who listen to
thein in a state of physical exhaustion
Men, too are n-t exempt from the
practice, the reason being perhaps,
that we all like to cast ourselves In
the ro<e of hero, or wise gny of some
sort, and we foolishly imagine that by
talking of our own virtues and enlarg
lng ttpon the weaknesses and errors of
the other man. we strengthen our own
position. It Is really mostly talk, and
often harmful talk
U was George Eliot, I believe, who
said that one of the tests of real
friendship la that two people may be
together for an hour and say nothing
and feel no obllMttsa to say anything.
We should afl be better off If we
