Keeping q Wife Young.

A woman never grows so old that she
ceases to enjoy the company of others, and
generally the older she grows the more she
enjoys it. 1t is always pity to see a man
fall into Il state which he explains by say
ing, "Oh, we're getting old and don't care
for so much variety in our lives" In the
speaks of 'us' and WEI as if it naturally
fellows that because he is getting antiquat-
cd his wife must keep pace with him in his
decline Men all too often make their wives
too old. 1t is greater credit to n husband
to Keep his wife young than to make her
grow old. His actions and his habits nee
essarily influence those Of his wife Let
him keep in touch with the world, and
both he and his wife will be the better and
the younger for it. l like to see n man
proud OF his wife because she keeps young
Old age is beautiful and has its advan-
tagcs, but n man makes great mistake
when he rushes woman unnecessarily
toward it, and he does it most perfectly
when he deprives her Of those enjoyments
which every man should give his wife No

Cowboys the Mctropolis.

You've no idea how many cowboys there
are i'll New York driving trucks and doing
odd jobs like that" said an ex-ranchman
who is now i'll business here. They are n
restless lot, and thousands OF them get east
by design or accident--mostly by accident
think. They fetch up in the towns and
work into something or anything that has
to do with horses. In town they are apt to
be steady. and for that matter they are on
the plains There isn't any wild west any
more. Those people who saw il ten or a
dozen years ago saw II little of the wildness
and they saw the last. 80 cowboy thinks
of shooting his way through the streets Of
u wcstern town for fun in these days. He'd
be arrested mighty quick If he tried it. If
you want TO see u cowboy, 20 around to

there. Both OF them wear boiled shirts. -

"The Shnt In Society. -

Miss Goodies class was one of the largest
in Sunday school. There were eight mem
beers, and not the least among them was
little Sammy Adams, larky boy with big
brown eyes glistening from field of white.
One day Miss Goode stopped her lesson,
and while the hum OF childish voices was
coming from the other seats, began to tell
the class about the shut In Society" Her
stories of the little sick ones and the aged
lnvalids who were getting ray of light
from this sweet ministry interested the
children, and Mary Brown was seen to turn
her head away. Then Miss Goode went ON,
And now, children, where do you suppose
the name came from? They call it the
Shut In society. Whocan tell me in whose
memory it was formed:'
There was no answer, aud the children
were lost in thought. Miss Goodc was
quiet for second Whose life was it,
children, that was hampered to death on
all sides? Who was it that tried to get out
into Il larger life, into bigger world of ex-
istence:'
Little Sammy's eyes sparkled.
All, Sammy, you can tell. can't you?
Who was it?''
Dunno, miss, but specs it must have
been Jonah. '-Boston Budget.
