THE FoUNT OF YOUTH.

The fount of youth has oft been sought
Since days OF long ago,
And oft In fancy men have seen
Its living waters flow.
Through desert, swamp and wilderness
The search has been pursued
In hope that by the magic fount
Youths charms might be renewed.
But men have turned from that vain quest.
Their hopes forever crushed.
For though they searched through all the worl
No magic fountain gushed
And men resigned themselves to age
That robbed them OF their grace.
That Slapped their strength and thickly spread
Times wrinkles on the face.
In later years mems thoughts have turned
To plans for longer life,
And in elixirs they have sought
New strength for daily strife.
And oft tits heralded abroad
That scientist sage
Has finally evolved a plan
To stay the blight of age.
But men grow old, and women, too,
As in the days OF yore,
For no elixirs they have tried
Their youthful charms restore
And as they can't deceive themselves,
Some seek to hide the truth
And dye or bleach their hair and paint
On cheeks the hues of youth.
The fount of youth is in each heart.
And those who keep it pure
Will longer hold the charms of youth
And length OF life secure,
And when at last that fountain fails
And old age on them steals
They'll bear it well because no man
Ii older than he feels.

Fwo tramps are in the city today, who

while riding in a refrigerator car on the
northbound freight train, they we're
noticed by five other tramps, who or
dered them TO get on top Of the car.
They strengthened their request by
covering them with reyolvers. One Of
the two men hesitated about obeying
and was terribly beaten over the
head with revolver which, almost
caved In one side OF bis head.
The party OF five then
helped themselves 10 whatever was

They secured two watches, re-
volyer and "a 20 from one man, and a
watch and $40 from the other. The
train having stopped, the robbers took

solid gold case bearing the emblem Of

New YORK Oct. 3O.-The Berlin cor.
respondent Of the London Times and the

action taken upon the claims growing
out OF the Boer War, says that, notwith-
standing the announcement that the
British South African Compensation
Commission has decided the sums 10 be
paid to the various governments it Is
stated in well informed quarters that a
definite arrangement between Great
Britain and Germany on this head has
not yet been reached. The correspondent
believes the points still unsettled to be
matters of minor detail.
Tie sums paid by Great Britain TO the
various governments, will be paid to the
latter, to such persons as provide proof
of their nationality.
In the case of Germany, Great Britain
did not have to decide the status Of the
complaints, who forfeited their nation
ality by becoming citizens of the South
African Republic or the Orange Free
State, The correspondent intimates
that some interesting developments may
be expected in Berlin, in regard to this
class OF claimants, when the money is
distributed.
