"1 ctters from a Self. Made Farmer to His Son Oakville, Ontario, August 28, 1912 To Mr. James Tompkins, Port Perry, Ontario. Dear Jim-- They tell me it's been raining out your way until it do.seem as if you wasn't a going to be able to get your crop in. Now, that's tough all right seeing as how you've got such a good crop; but I'm a going to tell you something--it ain't a mite of use a worrying about it. "You can't stop it raining by worrying. = You can't push away a vsingle cloud if you fret and fume from now to doomsday. = You'll get "'ali'het up and riled and flustered - The folks round the house'll hate 10 see yoy come in, because you'll be like a bear with.a.sore head. 1 might say in passing that Susie's just as much "interested. in getting that crop in as you are, and you ain't got no call to make her fect any worse by being grumpy round the house.

"Nature often gives folks a breathing spell and a chance to. Jook around, and there's any amount of people wastes that breathing spell a grumbling about the weather. ; The trouble with a whole lot of us is, we think we oughter get He aint running the world nor the "so'much done in a certain time, and then because we don't make it we get mad. , I like to see 4 man ambitious. I like to sec him use his time right and get-rich 100, if he can. But it ain't necessary to get rich: Like as not the riches 'll cost a heap too much, and won't be no sovd ; to you when you gets them. You'll get three square meals a day .all right. Most evelybody does around Port Perry. If you was as 'rich as Rockefeller you couldn't eat no more if you didt't want to make yourself sick. But the main thing is to live sos folks 'll be happier because we're around. Some folks gets fretting for fear they won't be able to pay their way, and I'm free to admit that that' the toughest thing that can hap- pen a-honest man--to owe folks and not be able to pay. But if the "Worst comes to the worst, and yet you've done the best you could, the | neighbors 1} know 1 all about it, and you'll get pretty fair treatment mostly, It's the lazy dub, what don't carefthat get the abuse, and it's "coming to him for he's earned it. i : ain't no use a making yourself into a money spall machine: J It can't be done. : Jim, li ving is loving-- being kind to folks that needs it; tes ings sweet and clean around you; and helping somebody 'you are here. I'don't care such an awful lot ake, for like as not
