You Are Always as iOune as iOu Feel

People grow old by thinking them selves old When they reach the age Of forty. fifty or sixty, they imagine that they look like others of the same age. and that they soon will be use less. unfit for work. and unable to per form they wonted duties. AS surely as they think this. It will come true. for thought is creative. How many of us can say with Job. The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me.
 The time will come when children will not De allowed to celebrate their birthdays: when they will know that. by thinking themselves young, they "a III remain young. and that they will cease to grow old when they cease to believe in old age. The body Is built up of beliefs. and our convictions are stamped upon every fiber of our be- sngs. What We believe. what We think. that We are: so people who remain young In spirit never grow old.

Fertility sf ths Colorado Valleys.

Between tho Needles and Yuma, along the Colorado River. arc per. haps 500. 900 acres of fertile. irrigablc land. capable of sustaining tens of thousands of people when once that great Colorado River is diverted to Us greatest use" said Civil Engineer W. D. Clapp. as he told of a recent trip he. l. B tlpplncott and ]. X. Ahrens. all of the United States geo. logical survey. made by going down the Colorado River.
 Mir Clapp also said that the Colo rado River has watershed of 2s5,OOO square miles. In their own boat, twenty-five feet long. they spent eleven days going down the 293 miles from the Needles to Yuma. At the Needles. the river is 450 feet above sea level. while at Yuma 1t Is i07 feet. or drop of about one and one fourth feet to the mile. The surprising estimate was gwen that the Colorado river carries more silt or fertility In solution than the Nile and the Ms slssippi both together. or enough to make deposit six feet deep over 100 square miles each year. Thus rap Idly are the mountain regions being brought towards the sea. This silt makes the Colorado river the best water in the world with which to irrigate. provided It can be handled so that the ditches will not clog Mir. Clapp is confident that under wise poIicv of national irrigation. the Colo rad River alone could be made to provide homes for millions of peo- pie. and that many other arid places could be made fruitful.

FIGHT OVER THE BOY.

Tampa Tribune: The preliminary
hearing in the case of Manuel Chavez,
charged with the murder of Chas. ].
Allen, and Mrs. c. j. Allen, wife OF
the deceased. as accessory to the crime,
has not been set as yet. An interest
ing feature of the sad affair is the
fight being made for the possession of
George, the small son of the dead
father and wounded mother. The
guardianship is considered of impor-
lance on both sides, and will be car
ried to the courts and closely con-
tested. MacFarlane & Raney, attor-
neys for Mrs. Allen. have filed a petit
ton with Judge Robes, praying that
the wounded mother be appointed
guardian of the child. as she is closer
to and will take a far greater interest
in the welfare of her offspring than
any one else could be expected to. A
somewhat similar application has been
filed by W. G. Allen, brother of the
deceased, through his attorneys, John
P. Wall and Hugh c. MacFarlane,
asking that he be appointed guardian
of little George, alleging that the moth
er is not fit person. morally, to care
for child of tender years. The fol-
lowing is a portion of the petition filed
by w. G.. Allen, and says; THAT said
Florence Allen is a person of low
moral character, and of lascivious hab-
its and practices, and is possessed of
cruel and ungovernable temper. That
your petitioner is informed and be-
lieves that said Florence Allen is guilty
as an accessory before the fact of the
murder of Charles ]. Allen, deceased,
her husband. That the habits and
character of the said Florence Allen
