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. Your years ar*
going to be few enough at beet. Don’t
lessen them by imagining that you
