Only Eishty-one and Beginning to Fail.
In small town about eight miles
from Boston there lives an old gentle
man who is hale and hearty at. the age
of 81, and whose erect carriage would
put many Q younger man to shame.
Within the last year, nevertheless, he
has found that his favorite exercise,
walking, while still giving him pleas
ure, must be pursued with more caution
than formerly. Not long ago he had a
visit from an old school friend, a few
years his Junior, who exclaimed at the
old gentleman's strength and youthful
appearance:

age was the reply made with some
sadness, "but am not what I was
Why, last week I made one Of my
monthly trips to Boston, and I had to
take to the cars coming home" :"
"Take to the cars coming homer" re-
marked his friend. "You don't mean to
say you're in the habit Of walking any
such distance?'
s'Why, man alive, I'm only 81, "
cried the old gentleman testify. "Of
course I've always walked to Boston

The Boy Smoker.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
One of the most pernicious evils Of
the present generation is the habit
of cigarette smoking by boys.
Small urchins regard it as a manly
exercise to reyel in this offensive
habit, and nothing is more common
at the present day than to see bog
in knee breeches completely envel-
oped in a cloud of smoke which has
issued from his own lips. Boys who
are barely old enough to leave the
nursery and who have never seen the
inside Of a textbook often acquire
this habit.
In the fascination which cigarette
smoking has for the young lies the
secret of its most destructive power.
Last week young man only nine
teen years of age died in the city of
New York, the victim of excessive
cigarette smoking. It was ascer-
tanned that for several years he had
averaged as many as hundred cigar
cites a day He began by smoking
only two or three week, but modera
ton soon yielded to excess and the
habit grew until it reached a fatal
termination. Aside from this fault
there was nothing to mar the charac-
ter of the young man, who stood we'll
in society and was an active member
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation.
There is salutary lesson in this
story of a blighted life, and one
which should be impressed upon the
youth of the land. If grown up men
desire to smoke it is well enough.
There should be no restriction i'm
posed upon that privilege. But some
thing should be done to check this
growing evil among the boys Of
America.

Mr.. D. P. Davis a prominent livery
man and merchant of Goshen, Va,
has this to say on the subject OF
rheumatism: II take pleasure in
recommending Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism, as know from
personal experience that it will do all
that is claimed for it. A year ago
this spring my brother was laid up
in bed with infammatory rheumatism
and suffered intensely. The first
application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm eased the pain and the use of
one bottle completely cured him.
