A RecOfl Joke.

Not so many years ago there was q
veteran teacher in a boys high school
who often made his classes vince un.
der the lash Of his bitter sarcasm and
ready wit. One day little half starv-
ed yellow cur strayed into the school,
and the boys thought they saw a chance
to express their feelings toward ''Fus-
sy,' who was busy in another room.
The frightened mongrel was picked up.
quickly fitted with pair Of large wire
spectacles and placed on the teachers
chair.
Pussy entered the room, walked to
his desk. calmly surveyed the work OF
his pupils and then, turning to them,
pleasantly said. In my absence | see
you have held business meeting and
elected one Of your number chairman"

Professor Jowett, the great master
Of Ballot college, had wise words to
speak on the crucial topic of growing
old. He wrote to friend:
'The later years Of life appear to me,
from certain point of view, to be the
best. They are less disturbed by care
and the world. We begin to under
stand that things really never did mat
ter SO much as we supposed, and we
are able to see them more in their true
proportion instead of being overwhelm-
ed by them. We are more resigned to
the will Of God, neither afraid to de-
part nor overanxious to stay. We can
not see into another life, but we believe
with an inextinguishable hope that
there Is something still reserved for
u.s.
hints for old age, full as they are Of
practical wisdom
Beware Of the coming on of age. for
it will not be defied.
A man cannot become young by over
exerting himself.
A man of sixty should lead quiet.
open air life.
He should collect the young about
him.
He should set other men to work.
He ought at sixty to have acquired
authority, reticence and freedom from
personality.
He may truly think of the last years
Of life as being the best and every year
as better than the last If he knows how
to use it.

At the word he waved his hand,
and the boy at the weighing block
picked up his saddle and stepped on
the scales.
Ten minutes later they were In line
below the stand = sorrel and bay,
chestnut and gray; but, peerless among
them all, the son of Hindoo fretted
and paved, rolling his eyes, that now
showed the "battleflag' more than
ever. His foes were worthy Of his
best stride-Zingara, the red mare,
queen of the Blackman stables; Fleur-
de-lis Of Bannockburn, with the hon.
ors Of the Tennessee Derby still fresh;
Black Rover, Walpurgis. The Thun-
derer, Malcontent and Ills HighDess,
a great red brute from the famous
Chanton stud.
Quivering. electric, with the scent of
battle in their 1aring nostrils, as the
tense muscles rose and fell In great
cords in the mighty TANKS! The gor.
geous little figures sitting low down in
the saddles settled themselves as the
red flag fell Cor and away down
the stretch flew prism of red. yellow,
green and purple, blending in the Ken
lucky sunlight, around the white rib
bon of track. The first quarter passed,
and the bunch closed up, neck and
neck, shoulder to shoulder. Another
quarter and one fell behind. Black
Rover was in the lead. Around the turn
and down the home stretch and Bay
Prince had crept to Black Rover's
shoulder. Now it was neck and neck,
and wild yell went up from 5000
throats as black and bay were nose
and nose. Twenty yards, and the red
jacket lay down in the saddle. They
were near enough for the judges to see
the fash Of the great bays eyes as he
gathered himself and with a mighty
effort landed under the wire just q
nose length ahead Of the black. And
then pandemonium broke loose. Men
clambered down from everywhere. Up
went the numbers-Bay Prince first,
Black Rover second and Zingara third
1t was all over, and the Derby had
gone down into history. In the midst
of it little figure all in it's gay scarlet
satlns dropped from the saddle and
was half carried by Jim to the weigh
Ing block.
"You go way, Mas Charley. Dis
heah boy amt nowise fifteen ter talk"
Jim had for once forgotten his rails
In" in his anxiety to bar me out. but l
brushed him aside and saw my Jess in
her close tailor suit standing just in
side the door. The scarlet jacket and
cap lay upon Jim's cot, and my dar-
ling's pretty face rivaled them In color
There was one shamefaced moment
and then the little head went proudly
up.
II did it for papa and Bel Air!" And
Jim went off chuckling to himself as
drew the door close behind me.
