IL Is here that our eyes deceive us
SO accustomed are we TO the in.
territorial misreading of our cen.
turtles, that we naturally consider
the first two numbers in 1900 tc
stand for the twentieth century,
1t Is n hard problem to solve. II
is evident that there never was d
year 0. that the century must begin
with !; IL is equally evident thai
even rs u dollar contains 100 cents
so a century Is composed Of 10t
years. But then there arises the
confusion OF numbers and theiI
values, the contradiction between
ordinaI and cardinal.
The Pope in his universal decree
making the year 1900 a holy year
and appointing a celebration to
usher in a new century, distinctly
states that the nineteenth century
would end December 81, 1900.
A hundred years ago the same
wordy war was waged; hundred
years hence it will be renewed. 1t
is a venerable error, long-lived and
perhaps immortal.
l hope If Col. w. A. Taylor sees
this he will not invoke the shades
Of Matheny's Roost to disturb my
pleasant dreams by night nor my
JOY by day while contemplating the
beauties Of nature or when delving
into the mysteries hidden in the
misty vistas of the past.

Old People Made Young.

j. G. Sherman, the veteran editor
of the Vermontville (Mich.) Echo,
has discovered the remarkable secret
of keeping old people young. For
years he has avoided Nervousness,
Sleeplessness, Indigestion, Heart
trouble, Constipation and Rheuna-
tism, by using Electric Bitters, and
he writes:"It can't be praised to
highly. 1t gently stimulates the
kidneys, tones the stomach, aids di-
gestion, and gives a splendid appe-
tite. 1t has worked wond ers for my
wife and me. It's marvelousrem

MEN AND MATTERS.
Old Father Tfmc.

When time was a boy,
1t gave him great JOY,
TO step on the worm that was crawling;
To see the thing squirm,
Which was death to the worm.
hut II helped him along in his calling.
A pre-cocious youth,
Full of valor and truth,
Though somewhat incline to be tickle;
STEPPED in to the door,
OFFS neighbors store.
And bought for himself new sickle.
And when he begun,
To practice his fun,
or decapitatlng the sinner;
He kept his knife sharp,
While he played ON his harp,
To call the poor mortals to dinner.
Now tine was at play,
A great part in his day.
with his sickle hung over his arm;
He could travel by night,
In darkness or light,
And fly In the face of the storm.
He counted the days,
And noted the ways,
or the people he had to watch over;
He let their sport run,
And laughed at their fun,
For he knew they were "iving 10 clover"
Time sought out the poor
Drove the wolf from the door,
Gave the mother and children good cheer;
BY giving them meat.
That was wholesome to eat,
For which many droped him tear.
But as he grew older,
His heart became bolder,
SO he took up his sickle and glass;
And travelled the plains,
The highways and lanes,
And cut down the people like grass.
Now say Father Time,
Is this slaughter a crime?
Is 1t sanctioned in full by the law?
You will snuff out the life,
OF the husband or wife,
And think 1t worth less than a straw.
With glass in his hand,
Filled but half full of sand,
Tins measures our mi nutes and hours;
Forgetful OF none,
In the light of the sun.
Or the shady recess of the bowers
And thus 1t will be,
O'er the land and the sea,
In the homes OF the rich and the poor;
The mother must mourn,
For the husband or son,
TIL time cuts his figures no more.
