Old Acc.

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 a certain point of view, to be the
best. They are less disturbed by care
and the world. I've 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
US"
1t is worth while to remember his
hints for old age. full as they are of
a 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 fri a
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 ii.

Recorders Extra Pay.
Mayor Petersen asked the council to
pay close attention to the bills, as he
and the council had been criticized OF
late for lack Of close scrutiny Of some
of the bills. Many people had said
that the council allowed an unlawful
bill Of $81 of the city recorder. The
council should be more careful after
this. The night that this bill was
allowed, the council had worked hard
and was tired, and for this reason the
bill escaped notice.
Mr.. Williams said that he had put
in bill for $50 for work as clerk of
the board Of equalization. He did not
know whether this was proper bill.
He had never questioned it in the
past. As to the balance of the bill,
$40, he had not put it in and had
never received it.
Mayor Petersen said that this had
been put in by the assessor and the re-
corder had signed it.
Mr.. Williams admitted that this was
true.
Mayor Petersen said that there was
no law authorizing such an expendi-
ture.
Mr.. Williams said that the city
spends hundreds of dollars to hire a
man to go out and list mortgages. He
had signed many bills that he ought
not to; he would not argue that point.
The Bills.
The bills were taken up and allowed.
