WHAT MEN ARE AT THEIR BEST
DIR. Beard states that from an anal
ysis of the lives of thousand rpresen.
tstive mea in all the great branches OF
tho human family, he made the dis
covery that the golden decade was be
tween 40 aud so; the brazen between
20 and 30; the iron between 40 and
80: The superiority Of youth aud
middle life over old age iu original
work appears all the greater when We
consider the fact that all the rtsi, ion.
OF honor and prestige-professorships
and public stations-are 10 the hands
Of the old. Reputation, like money
and position, is mainly confined to tn.
old. Men are not widely known until
long after they have done the work
that gave them their fame. Portraits
OF great men are decisions statues are
false! They are taken who mea have
become famous, which, on the average,
is At least twenty-five years after they
did the work which gave them their
fame. Original work required enthu-
siasm. If all the original work done
by men under Is was annihilated, they
would be reduced to barbarism. Men
are at their best at that time when Gu.
thusiasm and experience are almost
evenly balanced. This period, on the
average, is from 80 to 40. After this,
the law is that experience in creases,
but enthusiasm decreases. OF course
there are exceptions.

It 20 happens that every twenty .
eight years the 4th Of March, the day
fixed for the inauguration Of tho Pres.
ident, falls on Sunday. This occurs
next year for the fourth time in the
history Of our nas.vc, and following the
precedent established by three Of his
predecessors, the new President will
take the oath Of Office on Monday the
9Th Of March.
The first Inauguration on the 9Th Of
March was that Of George Washington
on entering upon his second term.
The next time the 4th of March fell
upon Sunday was in 1921, when Jane.
Monroe was the President elect for the
second time, and he, too, was inaugn
rated on Monday, March 9Th. The
third occurrence Of this kind was in
1849, when Zachary Taylor was inaug.
ra.ed on Monday, the 9Th Of March
After next year Inauguration day will
not fall on Sunday again until 1905.
