Old Age and Appetite.

Sir Henry Thompson deprecates in
creased eating as a means of keeping
up the strength Of those who are ad-
vancing in years, and particularly OBJ
jects to the repeated and general use
of concentrated forms of animal nour-
ishment for the aged. Over-nourish-
ment in old age is apt to lead to pains
and aches due to the impairment of
excretion, and long protracted course
of overfeeding will end in an attack
of gout. Even artificial teeth are not
to be considered an unmixed blessing,
for by provision of nature the teeth
begin to decay and become useless just
when the system begins to thrive with.
out much animal food of coarse fibre.
Indigestion, says Sir Henry Thomp-
son, Is mostly not disease, but an ad-
monition. 1T is the language of the
stomach. and is mostly an unknown
tongue to those who are addressed"
1t means that the individual has not
vet fourd his appropriate diet. "There
is no food whatever which is whole
some iD itself, that food only is whole.
some which is so to the individual."-

exhausted beasts, and, seizing their
weapons, rushed up the steep hill for
the capture. But the youth ON the
horse went gamely forward, faster and
faster, till he, too, topped the ridge
and disappeared in the wake of the
dismounted outlaw.
It'd be murder to kill him now,"

swered Jim, and, with dust-smeared
faces and bodies muddy with sand and
sweat they gained the outlaw.
Far down below them, just breast.
Ing the shallow pool of the dwindled
summer river, they saw the buckskin
horse bearing two riders toward the
Mexican shore.
We're done, amt we, cap?"
Done? We're skinned, stuffed and

We are"
Jim stopped over the dead Canadian

"Just bluff, Jim. Cunnin' of him,
wasn't it?'
And the sheriff sat down on the
corpse and rolled a cigarette, watching
Tilbury and his pal disappear into the
chaparral which lined the haze-dimmed
shore of the 'land of manana." They
didn't say much as they walked back
weary and defeated, to Ojo Caliente,
but when they came to the red, warped
railroad station and talked to the
squint-eyed agent he told them that
the stranger, the curly-haired, brown
checked boy, had come to town but an
hour or two ago.
"He didn't seem to know nobody"
explained the agent, land the on'y
thing I know is 1 hearn him hoss-
tradin' with that there chap you was
chasin', just few minutes fore you
all rid up and begun shootin'."
Sheriff Early and his deputy loafed
about the station till half an hour be-
fore the east-bound local came along,
and then the agent handed him a small
yellow envelope, with:
Either O. you men Captain Early'?"
And the sheriff read:
'"Tilbury's wife on buckskin horse

handing the dispatch to Jim.
"She's a brick" grinned the deputy.

1t was different with Captain Early

Poultney's ranch, roping out their own
stock because the outfit was away
on the drive, and ran Tilbury to cover
before dark in dug-out by the iron

however, for the rascal winged Jim's

Charley Dunlap one day had a strike
from twenty-pound muskallonge. He
had hand line. Early in the struggle
the fish adopted as its tactics per-
sistent dashing in circle that took it
around the boat, its purpose evidently
being to get hitch of the line on the
boat so that ii might tear itself loose.
The peculiar tactics of this muskal-
lonSe kept Dunlap twisting and turn
ing round and round i'm his boat to pre-.
vent the fish from fouling the line.
The lake was rough under stir wind.
and the frail canoe threatened to cap
size before Dunlap could conquer the
muskallonge.
AT each circuit the muskallonce
made. Dunlap succeeded in getting the
fish nearer and then he suddenly dis
covered that he was unable to make
another turn himself. CHANGING down.
at his feet he discovered that in his
rapid twistings and turnings he had
wound the line round and round his
ankles and he was pinloned by it there.
This was an added danger, for il by
capsiZe his fate was certain.
Ii the muskallonge had made one
more turn around the boat it would
probably have accomplished its design
and got away. Fortunately Tor Dun
lap, the fish at that critical moment
changed its tactics, and started straight
out toward the middle of the lake.
Dunlap let it go, and, sitting down in
the boat, quickly released the hamper
ing line from his legs, and engaged
the muskallonge again.
The rest of the fight was brief, for
the odds against the fish were too
great, and. exhausted, but still Offering

when Bowles heard commotion in

right at the foot of the tree and
pranced and snorted around it at every
move Bowles made. keeping him there
until long after dark.
When he thought the buck had gone
away Bowles slipped down out Of tbs
tree and started to put behind him
the three miles that lay between that
spot and home as quickly as his legs
would le thin. He hadn't gone fifty
yards, though, before the buck was

1t is impossible for young people to
marry in Germany without the consent
Of their parents or legal guardians.
Certain prescribed forms must be gone
through or the marriage is null and
void. When girl has arrived at what
is considered marriageable age her
parents make point of inviting young
men to the house, and usually two or
three are invited at the same time, so
that the attention may not seem too
pointed. No young man, however, is
invited to the house until after he has
called at least once, and thus signified
his wish to have social intercourse with
the family.
