Getting Old.
There arc many signs indicating
that old age is coming on a man." re-
marked an aged gentleman to Wash
ington Star reporter, but one of the
surest is when he finds that his sus-
peuders have a way of slipping of the
shoulders. At first he thinks there is
something wrong with the suspenders,
and he tries TO remedy 1t by tighten
ing them up. For awhile this cures
the trouble, but IN q little while there
is more slipping and he gets new pair
OF suspenders. Even they slip OF and
make him feel uncomfortable. After
awhile he discovers tho trouble is not
with tho suspenders but with himself.
As years roll on . man he gets more
and more round shouldered, and unless
be has his suspenders braced up by
connecting them with . band behind
the shoulders he cannot keep them up.
