Selections BY the Editor For Man.
Readers of Many Minds, But With
Moral For All.
The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred out hearts in youth,
The impulse to the woraess prayer
The dreams of love and truth:
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes
These things can never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not chance to vaken love-
Be firm and just and true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high
And angels voices say to thee-
These things shall heyer die.

The suspender Signs of Age

There are many signs indicating that
old age is coming on man." remarked
an aged gentleman, but the one surest
Is when he finds that his suspendcrs
have way Of slipping of the shoulders.
At first he thinks there Is something
wrong with the supenders, and he tries
to remedy it by Tightening them up.
For awhile this cures the trouble, but
in little while there is more slipping,
and he gets a new pair of suspenders.
Even they slip off and make him feel
uncomfortable. After a while he dis
covers that the trouble is not with the
suspenders, but with himself. AS years
roll on man gets more and more round
shouldered, and unless he has his sus-
penders braced up by connecting them
with a band behind the shoulders, he
cannot keep them up. remember
some years ago hearing two very prom
inent men speaking of the fact that
they were getting old. One of them
was at the time vice president of the
United States. and the other was
leading senator. What makes you think
you are growing old?' one of them asked
the other. I found it out was the re-
ply, as soon as / discovered that my
suspenders would not stay up That
has been my experience also.' came from
the questioner. Neither of the gentle
men had yet reached his seventieth year,
but they had both discovered they were
growing old by the. same accident in
their lives. l have never known it to
fail. After a man reaches so his shoul-
ders grow round steadily. and by the
time he has reached 75 his shoulders

Real Realism

In one of the pictures 90 the immortal
Hogarth we are shown rich mans bed

lected in his agony, while rapacious ser
wants and heirs search garments. clos
cts and furniture for his money. Book
bindings and pictures are destroyed in
the hunt for treasure; the hearth Is
rummaged and the holdings pried from
the walls to reveal the hidden booty.
1t is brutal and degrading scene which
one mieht imagine to be the exagger-
ated idea of a coarse and pessinist1c
man. That 1t was not overd'rawn Is
shown by the almost counterpart in real
life in the case of the millionaire Fair
In a recent inquiry into that celebrated
case 1t transpired that none Of the dy-
ing mans children was present at his
last agony. The only ones about him
were hired servants. A physician testi-
fed that Fairs valet was drunk and in
capable of being of any assistance.
Fairs bookkeeper and collection agent
stood outside the door, and SEWING the
drunken valet whenever he emerged
from the chamber exclaimed: "Is the
old man dead? How much longer will
he last?" When at length they learned
that the breath was departing from
their masters body they rushed in,

and gathered up all the papers and per-

"A party of half a dozen men began
talking about the possible injurious
effects of wheeling in an uptown BIZ
cycle club the other evening, and the
fact was developed that in the limited
circles represented by their personal
friends there were not fewer than three
cases where very serious if not perma-
nent injury to health was attributed
to the bicycle. In one case man went
through an attack of illness that left
him unable to attend to his business
for months, and it is uncertain whether
ne will ever be restored to health COM
pletely. In anaher case the patient
is threatened with permanent lameness
owing to series of complications. In
all three cases the bicycle had nothing
to do directly with the illness, but in
each the attending physician declared
that the nervous system had been ex-
hausted by excessive riding, and that
the nervous force stored up by nature
for use in an emergency had been de-
pleted without the knowledge of the
patient. and that when attacked by dis
ease the patient had found himself with
out reserve force to resist it, and conse-
quently what under ordinary circum-
stances might have been trivial ILL
ness did serious damage to the consti-
tuition itself of the sufferer. And in
none of these cases did tho bicyclist
indulge In exercise beyond what seemed
to be very moderate limits. The moral
drawn from these cases was that one
may very easily indulge in bicycling
to excess without knowing it.-New
