REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED PRESS
DENISON, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1954
VOLUME 25 -NUMBER 32
ALONG THE
■Y THI IOITOS
MARK TWAIN’S PHILOSOPHY
Mark Twain is quoted as origi-
nating the saying “More taffy and
Mean epitaphy..’
I The philosophy
“ s to encourage
the practice of
saying the good
things about peo
•pie while they
are with the liv-
ing. Don’t let
;a fellow struggle
L.-julung on life’s
load and you refrain from sprat .
mg an encouraging word. Then,
after he his icady for burial re-
mark “he was a good old boy.”
And his epitaphy many times
is made to read: "Gone but not
forgotten.”
That is little or no consolation
to a man alter he is gone, to say
•of him that he was not “forgot-
ten.” The fact is we forgot him
while he was here and when he
could have been buoyed up a bit
by a kind word and a little love.
Billy Sunday used to say “peo-
ple can’t smell tube roses after
they are dead.” If we spent a
l’ttle effort at trying to find
something good to tell a man
while he is in the land of the
living, roses after his demise
might be more in place.
The Home Circle
Fact is, we might draw the cir-
cle a little closer and take in our
own immediate family. How many
•of us take things for granted in
"the family circle? How many
children fail to show proper con-
sideration for what the parents
have done for them or are now
dcing? They ask for this or that
and if it is not forthcoming, as a
•child, they kick around things.
And when they grow older, they
remind the parents of what other
parents are doing for their chil-
dren and in other ways manifest
s. disrespect.
And to run down to the sequel,
many parents are living on the
crumbs from tables of their chil-
dren, or even doing without thu
crumbs. Some parents are even
forced to depend on public char-
ity while children willingly permit
it. The story is a miserable one
of neglect of the parents on the
part of the children. They turn
them over to “Social Security”
oi some other form of public sup-
port.
Think this is overdrawn? No,
we know. We have seen it in
many homes and numerous cities
in our life’s work. Many parents
have been turned out of the home
of a child or neglected to a point
that the humane society would
not permit being visited to even
a horse that has lost his service-
ability.
• The Other Side
This is enough of the crepe
side of things. Thank God the
greater pait of our young peo-
ple are more considerate of their
parents. A care in point came
1 • us this neck. It is the story
of two local sons who have spent
several years working with their
father. The father recently went
down with a heart attack. He
spent several weeks in a local hos-
pital. Then several .more at home,
lie is still unable to join the sons
ii. his work as has been the cus-
tom for many years. He may not
over be able to do so, according
to one of the sons.
We dropped into the place of
business ill's week to ask about
the father. One of the sons re-
marked: “Father will never be
able to come back into the office
with us we fear. We don’t want
h;m to take the risk. We are
willing to carry on the work. He
Uught us the business and also
worked with us and helped us to
get a start. If we will not carry
on now and take care of him and
mother for the rest of their lives,
v e are unworthy to be called his
sons. He helped us when we
needed it and now it is our time.”
We left the office with a heart
both heavy and light. We thought
of the day that might come to us
when we could not be with our
own sons. Time mutates that
v;ay. But if our body is as strong
as our determination, that hour
will never come. All fathers feel
that way.
On the other hand, our heart
was light because we had just
seen a lesson from th* book of
