GIRLS, KEEP YOUNG.
Though Hard to Realize mt the Time
Youth Is the Best Time
of Life.

"Mother wants to keep me baby un-
til am 90" pouted a girl of IA, whose
wise mother wanted TO have her retain
the loosely flowing locks and the youth
full simple garments suitable to her
years for a couple of seasons longer.
This complaint is very frequently heard
coming from the lips of maidens who
are to be envied owing 10 their adorable
youth, the very thing they despise.
The rosy flush, the slight figure, the
clear eyes will never belong to them but
once. Once only can a woman be
young. DO not forget this, girls, so
anxious to put behind you the one
period of your existence when the sun
shines as it never will again, and when
the birds sing with a sweeter meaning
than will be heard when the morning
has passed and high noon with the
greater heat and pressure of the bur-
dens of life has rushed upon you. Isn't
every young thing sweeter and purer
than the world-hardened, older ones Of
the same specie? Look at the lambs at
play, note the tender green leaves that
shoot out in their innocent verdure from
the old winter seasoned branches. Kit
tens and chicks and young birds are
the most appealing creatures, and when
one comes to babies there never can be
in all this lovely world anything so
sweet and loveable as a dear little
dimpled baby.
Therefore, girls, stay Young. You
may have 10 bear some Inconvenience
of restraint owing to your extreme
youth, but the time will come when you
will long for these incidentals Of the
youthfulness that will have passed
away from you forever.-Detroit Free
Press

Boyd syndicate, with the accompanying
ordinance, will come up
These papers were introduced In the
Board OF Aldermen few days ago, and
were by that body referred to tho Com
mittee on Streets.
As has heretofore been stated a SYN
dicate composed OF a number of Rich
mond gentlemen, headed by Messrs.
James n. Boyd and Vlrginius Newton
has made a proposition 10 purchase a
controlling interest In the Richmond Rail-
way and Electric Company-5i per cent
IL Is said-and 10 put the property IN
high state Of improvement
IT IS CONDITIONAL
This purchase. however, is conditional.
The Council must first agree 20 give the
new company the franchises held by the
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany without waiting for the same TO
expire.
The first step in the direction Of secur
ing the franchises indicated was taken
by the syndicate at tho meeting OK the
Board of Aldermen, and the next VIII
come when the committee meets on the
18th.
The question TO be considered is
somewhat complicated one. ft appears.
II is claimed that the committee has no
right 10 take up the matter until the
