WHEN A MAN REACHES
AGE OF SIXTY YEARS

Henry Clews, of the Wall street
firm of Clews d Co.. one of the great
and conservative money owners and
handlers of the country. writes about
when Il Man is Sixty Years Old" in
the Chicago Tribune as follows:
When Il man is sixty it iS no rea-
son that he should retire from active
business-unIess. like w. {. Whitney,
he has a fad to- indulge. | know
many men who made their greatest
successes after they were sixty years
old.
Now. l have absolutely no fad, and
/ think man ought to retain an ac-
tive interes; in his business as long as
his vitality holiS out, no matter how
old he * or how much money he has
accumulated. 1t is dangerous to
have nothing but time ON your hands.
Nothing win kill man quicker than
to have no fixed interest i'm life. l
have enough on which To retire, and
my business is i'm such shape that |
need not come to the office once a
week. but | am here anyway. and /
haven't the slightest intention of re-
firing.
OF course man should retire when
he feels that he has enough. but that
brings up the question. What is
enough?'
Andrew Carnegie made the greatest
success of his life after he was SIKH
years old. Henry Clay Prick, his
partner. and james Il. Dill entered
into an agreement with him to buy
out all of his interests for S15O.0OO.00O.
But Mr.. Carnegie decided that he
could afford to remain in business n
wear or so more. lie did so. and
finally sold out for $500. DOC. 900. thus
making S15O.OOO.OOo i'm less t!.an two
years. No wonder the youni men of
today want to make money fast with
such an example. Then there was
Daniel Drew. who turned out Erie
stock faster than Vanderbilt could

Pierce's wide experience and wonderful
success in the treatment and cure of

She is perplexed about conditions of

She thinks of the family physician. But
her delicate nature sLrinks from the

she drifts along while every day time

know that heads and backs were not

where to turn for relief.

IRRIGATION QUESTION.

Tho irrigation question at Washing.
ton appears TO be growing more com.
plicated from day To day. a recent
dispatch announces that some of the
enemies OF the national irrigation
movement have come out openly in
favor of the state cession. On the
other hand the cattlemen are said To-
be actively supporting the compromise
bill, because of the provision in Il
which leaves land open to scrip and
desert land entries until the contract
is let. They think this will enable them
To get the land in the range states
ahead Of the settlers.
The bill Is really "A deception in this
respect because, while atating that
land proposed 10 be irrigated shall
be reserved for actual settlers only.
IL leaves this clause imperative until
the contract is let for the construction
of the works before which time
every acre of the land would be taken
up by spectators.
