KEEPING IN HARNESS ■ ' * There la a prevailing idea among Vernonia citizens that when a fellow grows old the only thing left for him to do ia to retire, to either live on what he haa been able to accumulate or on those who are through blood ties morally bound to support him. They think he should step aside and give way to younger men. But we have always believed that when a man gets the idea he ia too old to work he is hastening his own end. Why should not a man, be he rich or poor, work on as long as he is mentally or physically able to do any sort of work? The greatest violin maker the world haa over known was still making violins when ho was 90 years old. It is true that the black smith cannot, when he is old wield aa heavy a hammer as in the days of his manly vigor, but there is always something he can do. The ac tive lawyer may be compelled to re tire from the exacting duties of heavy practice, but there ia much useful work for him to do when his head grows white. The worst mistake a man in matur ing years can make is to get it in to his head that he is "in the way”. There are always little odd jobs he can turn his hand to to keep his mind employed, and aa long aa his mind and hands arebusy his heart is going to be too happy to stop beat ing. His counsel, too, is always worth much to the younger genera tion and he is doing good work when he ia merely spending his time in passing out good advice or pointing out good examples.
