STRAY SHOTS FRoM SOLOMON A GOOD RECEIPT Those who fear 'he possibili ty of growing wealthy v-jU fiat, preventative. | "He that loveth pleasure shail be a poor man; he that loveth oil and wine shall not be rich." It is not money but the love of i" that is the root of evil. It is the pandering to hig animal na ture which demoralizes a man and prevents him from winning out in the battle of life. The man whose mind is absorbed in grati fying his senses, soon loses zest for better things. It is de .th to a young fellow's chances when he gets the idea that life consist. ;in the amount of amusement and pleasure he can pack in between the hour for quitting c-nd begin ning his day's work. Right now there is a splendid opportunity for a man showing the stuff that is in him. It takes nerve today to give life the serious thought it deserves. AVOID FADS. All the lunatics are not in the asylum. It has been said that every one is a, little "off" on «ome point, and it is or'y « ques tion of degree that keeps our public institutions from being crowded to their utmost capacity. This seems to be an age of fads, and people are running about with all kinds of notions, from eating saw dust down to going bare footed for health. One has only too look at the multiplication of religious sects, and read some n the ridiculous tenets and claim; put forth by some of them, to realize which human thought haa reached. The hunt for "something new" has a great fascination f or some people who run after every new fad i" business, science o ! ' religion. The man who starts j Bad chasing is on dangerous [ground. Not one in a thousand j ever amount to shucks. NVarly four thousand years ago the warning sounded. "He that tilieth h's tend shall have plenty of bread, but he that foUoweth j*fter vain pursuits shall hfcve poverty enough." CAROLINIAN. A Bunch of Fine Oid Men The Nortr View section must surely be healthy and conducive to long life, for it has so many old men. Right there in you ( might say the same neighbor. xh is Bib Priddy, 92 years of hge; John Morefield, 88; J. D. Young, 88; P. H. Young, 86. These are all splendid citizens, aind their 1 j many friends congratulate them ,on their long life and good | health. P. H. Young was in Danbury today, looking a a as he did 40 ywi ago, perhaps.
