It ia a common expression in ftasku. u as It ia at the country cross road, in tie - t'imrest city everwliere. Did you ever stop to think vhit i, trapped P " tllc,se or'ls ,v,i:,t a va8t significance there is iu them f In the first place the very utterance of these words rresupioseathat some thing baa been undertaken, start el, in quired for or is being sought after. And why f Because the thing, whatever it iraa, was wanted by the person seeking it Why was it wanted ' Because, for sooth, it was deemed worth while either in a material sense or a ministering to the fjesires. either physical, inrntnl or spiritual, of the seeker. And why the words, "Just let k go.'" Impatience, indecision, va-illntion. laziness and other tjiinlit ics so common and so regrettable in onr present-day life are wrapped up in t'nis sevmingly harmless expression. The seeker is not willing to take the tint to get what he wants; is not willing, perhaps to forego some passing pleasure that would have to be sacrificed in order to attain the object sought; or jierhaps be is not will ing; to put forth the effort, either physi cal or mental, to get what he started after. Its use indicates lack of purpose. an absence of ambition, a failure to real-a ixe a sense of personal responsibility. What if Simo Patino had said, "Just let it go," when the silver mining busi fcess went to the bad in South America a iew years ago! Here is bis story from - the pen of Richard Spillane, the well known writer on business and business men, taken from a recent issue of The Philadelphia Public Ledger. After read ing this one could be morally certain that Patino was the type of man who never used such an expression. He hail determination and was willing to pay the price. If the world had more men of the same force of character, in busi ness, in church cr.J in 8tate, the world would be much better off. Here is the story as told by Spillane: Simon Patino. is the Rockefeller of the southern continent. Mr. Patino is the tin Jung of the world. His home is at Oruro. Bolivia, jf.! was a storekeeper in a little town in the Andes less than thirty years ago. His wife assisted him as a good .wife should and. as he prosjierel, he bought jewels for her, she having a great love for such things. Then came bad times. The silver mines, upon which the little mountain town existed, closed down, for silver was at a discount and, f-ere in America, men like William Jen nings Bryan were thinking or saying that mankind should not le crucified upon a cross of gold. Patino had to do something or go broke. . His business was drying up. He held council with his good wife. He told another metal in the mountains whii-h the world must have. That was tin. If he could get a little nio:n.y be could buy vast deposits of tia. "Take my jewels," said Ser.ora Pati no. Reluctantly he did. He bought old and abandoned tin mines. For years he slaved and had a desperate time, for his ore had to be transj-orted mi the lacks of animals to Antofagasta bet'i-re it eould be shipped away and lie i-ouM not get pay until delivery was made in Ku rope and America. Often he .i n-ar bankruptcy, tut he never stopped. I'eo . pie laughed at him, pleaded with him, told him he v.gs foolish, lmt he had faith in tin. 1 :e!i , as tl.e years went on ami the j ri-e ot tin advanced, pros perity began v dawn.

He brought with him mt only his own immediate household, but all his relatives. All the ladies had maids. All the children had nurses. All the boys had tutors. All t'.e ireit 'ad valets. From the ship that landed him in New York Patino went to the Knicker bocker, which had just len completed. He asked to see some rooms. When t apartments were shown to him he said 'they were very nice and he would take them, but he would like to see some more. He saw atome more. "Excellent." he said. "I want these. Show me some more." The astonished hotelman show ed all the rooms on one floor and when Patino took all of them he got the shock of his life. "Let me see some more," sai'l Wie liouwiiu. jic naa mum iu m- a l ii- ti . l - I . l 1: ..: 1J nlr.... I noor anove. ne einrnen mi mr rooms on that floor. "I think that will do," tie said.

Later he got word that the project call ing him to Mexico was held up. He asked the railroad people to hold the special, train with steam up until he was ready to depart. It was thirty days before he got the final word. Then it was not necessary for him to go. He paid for the holding of the train the thirty days. Money,' He has oodles of it. His wealth is estimated at from $6,ll00,U00 to $100,000,000. And when he travels he takes his family and rela tives with him, as be did on his first big trip. All his success he ascribes to his wife. He has a great marble mansion in Oruro. The architect did nobly in car rying out Patino 's orders, but not until near the time of completion did be dis cover that be had provided no stairway from the first to the second floor. Today the ships of Simon Patino sail the seas and he provides the world with a large part of the tin it uses. His re fineries are on three continents. He employs thousands of men. Hut he is the same kindly, generous, energetic man as he was in the days when he and his good wife tended store in a little mountain town in the Andes. PROFESSOR SAVES JOB AND HEALTH BY TAKING PEFSINOL Digestion Upset by Shock, He Brooded and Became Despondent ONE DOSE BROUGHT "PEP" For many years Elbert Ramsey had folowed the teaching profession. Many times his thoughts had wandered to the outside, active world of business and many times he had laid his plans to em bark upon the voyage which he believed would bring him to wealth and power. Each time, however, his departure was deferred. For fourteen years in succes sion the little college in which he held the chair of mathematics increased his salary. The increase was small, true, but it was enough to enable him to lay aude a little more each year, toward the lay when he would enter the business maels'rom and joust with his fellows. A li.tle girl was bi.in to him ami his wife Martha. Sh fi!'" l their home with bright ilex.-,. I'joi ii-r he lavished all his affection. In turn he wa her hero.

But suddenly all was changed. Elbert Ramsey fell ill. For years he had stuck too closely to his' books. He bad ueg lected to take exercise. He had failed to get the portion of sunlight and air which should have bee:i bis. His -illness was not ai'pcrent nt first, but nevertheless In Vas sick. He felt a strangeness growing up between himself mid the rest of the world. His luve for his familv did not diminish, but he lost the power of ex I ressing it. He was irritable in the classroom tn creasM'gly so. He sliHiply reprimanded without cause the sou of the newly ele-t ed president of the college. The father called upon Prof. Ramsey and protest ed gently. Ramsey hotly replied and af ter a bitter quarrel tendered his resig nation. It was acceiited. Ramsey regretted his action the mo ment it was taken, but pride prevented his admitting his error and apologizing. He boasted to his wife that now he was j i ) nirong i with the college forever and could do as he had planned to do for m any years. That night Kamsey s'wpl but fitfully tin. I arose the next morning a nervous r.'i !i. A vnnc of d";.r"sion shadowed him. He was unable to read, he was un able to l lay with ins little girl. He was I rn.-iMe to concentrate Ins tliougli's. mi it continue.!. J lay after day he sat brooding, oulv O.-caMonuily stirring from the house. On one brief ra:uMe which i.e took into the town he met an old c.d leg.' mate arH fellow professor, who was amaed :it the change in Ramsey's ap pearance. He stopped Ramsey, though the latter would have passed him by. ' ( iood heavens, old fellow, what's the matter.''' he asked. Ramsey mumbled a reply and started to walk mi, but his fellow professor grabbed him by toe arm and swung him about. "Let me see your tongue," was the demand that Ramsey, puzzled but obedi ent, obeyed. "Aha! I thought so!" was the ex clamation. "Take Pepsinol. " "What.'" ejaculated Ramsey. "Take Pepsinol. (io right into the drugstore here and get a bottle of Pep sinol. Go borne and take a dose. That will fix you up. I'll be over to see you tomorrow. ' ' Ramsey, almost in a daze, obeyed. He took tke pec ting e Pepsinol when he retired, ex- another sleepless night. He awoke in the morning refreshed. Short ly after he arose his bowels were gently move!. He was otue more able to con-rcntn-.te his ti. oughts. A dull heada.he an! pain in the eyes which he had had for many days disappeared. After a hearty breakfast he played for some time with his daughter, the first time in two weeks. He chatted cheer fully with his wife, who had bravely tr.ed to cheer her husband m his de sinideiicy. a despondency she was un able to explain. A long walk in the open air followed, then luncheon and when Ramsey's fellow professor appeared he received a hearty greeting, much different from that of the day before. " Ifow goes it?" he asked. "Fine. Charles," Ramsey replied. "Hut what is this Pepsinol?" "That, old chap, is a gentle laxative tonic. I could tell that was exactly, what you needed. Your digestive ap paratus was completely upset and your nerves shot To pieces. "I knew that Pepsinol would fix you up as it did my brother after he broke down from overwork. Pepsinol is a strengthener as well as a laxative. Y'our digestive organs were put on the road to normal and your nerves were strength ened. You needed a reconstructive medi cine, not a destructive. Pepsinol was the one necessary. If it had not been for Pepsinol you would have been seri ously ill in a short time." "Well, my nightmare is over," said Ramsey, "and I want to thank you and Pepsinol. ' ' Th.'it evening Ramsey called on the president of tl.e college, made a hand some apology and returned to (lis work the next day. He has never considered having there since.

"I had a weak stomach ever since I was a child," he continued, "and had to Imj particular about everything I would eat, for the least little thing would upset me and cause me no end of suffer ing.

I could hardly sleep for nervousness, was constipated and wjuld feel so tired, worn out and drowsy all day long that I wasn 't fit foV a thing. "I took planty of medicine, but it did me no good.

Is. Mr. (eorge Evans, sheeji extension worker of the agricultural extension service, has just returned from a trip to the, farms of pure bred sheep breeders in different sections of the country where he pur chased 14o grade ewes and 40 pure bred rams and ewes at prices ranging from $o0 to $100 per head. This is one of the largest orders for sheep that has ever been placed by North Carolina farmers at anv one time. Mr. Evans had orders for several more, but, liecause of the great demand for better sheep by farmers all oyer the country, he was unable to secure the animals desired at the prices which he was comiiihssioned to pay. This purchase demonstrates the grow ing popularity of pure bred sheep in the State, says Mr. R. N. Curtis, and is an indication of the growth of North Caro lina as a better livestock state. Mr. J. Y. Nloss, Heef Cattle Field Agent, is ;aso away on a trip at this time, trying to buy a carload of pure bred milking sh.thorii cattle for farm ers in the western section of tie StateJ Most of ti.e orders have been given by men of Ashe and Buncombe counties. The longer it takes the world to settle down, the longer it will take for it to settle up. Huston Transcript, COMING!
