THE STOPPING HABIT.
Il Is One of the Things That Make
Men Grow Old Quickly.

1t Is One of the Things Fhnt make
Men Grow Old Quickly.
DR.. Madison ]. Taylor, giving gener-
al advice to the aged in the Popular
Science Monthly, says in effect that Old
people do not stOop because they are
old but they get old because they
stoop.
The stiffening of the tissues. which is
the sign and accompaniment of age is
warded off by exercise. Self indulgence
in eating and drinking and in lazy
ways is the sure road to senility. Il
have often been surprised and graft
fed" writes the doctor. Ito find that
regulated movements of the neck and
upper truncal muscles, employed for
the purpose of accomplishing some
thing else, resulted in Il conspicuous
Improvement in hearing, in vision, i'll
cerebratiOn and, as Il consequence, in
a betternent in cerebral circulation,
also in sleep.
persons who habitually maintain an
erect position in standing or sitting are
stronger than those who slouch. A
person who stoops and allows the
shoulders to sag down and forward
and the ribs to fall back toward the
spine shortens the anteposterior diam
eter of the thoraX anywhere from two
to five inches. The lungs, heart, great
vessels and other important structures
in the thoraX cannot live, move and
have their proper being under such cir
clmStanceS.
Wherefore the proper thing for per-
sons who are not so young as once
they were is to brace up, dress young
and feel young. Sitting "hunched up
over fire won't do.

The interior of a cannon is perhaps
the last place in the world one would
associate with a siesta, and yet India
possesses gun which is capacious
enough to form chamber where Of
ficers retire for siesta during the
heat of the day. This cannon, which
is beyond question the largest in the
world, is probably also one Of the old

Altland today compromised by the pay

declared closed. Both of the persons
most interested declared their COM
pete satisfaction in this, the latest
turn in the case.
Bickel won the promise of Mrs. Ait
lands hand in marriage but New
York travelling man won Mrs. Altland's
hand and all Bickels love turned to
hate that sizzled. Finally he filed
the suit for a breach of promise. Bickel
is a native of Arkansas and Mrs. Alt

She evidently feared the man or the
outcome for she preferred that the
suit should not come to trial. Hence

had succumbed to the smoke and

unconscious when taken out.
The mine where the accident oc-
Cured, is located about 70 feet above
the railroad tracks, and yields both
fire clay and coal. This morning 20
men went into the mine to work and
were busy at their daily tasks, when
shortly after 8 O'Clock the tipple house
at the mouth of the mine was disCov-
cred to be on fire, by Francis Hall,
who operates the tipplo machinery.
He gave the alarm and soon a crowd
of 200 was at work fighting the fire.
On account of the drouth and the tin

ing it was impossible to stop the
spread of flames and the building was
consumed. AS the fire burned up, IL
was noticed that no smoke was rising
from it, and the fire fighters knew
that terrible tragedy was being en-
acted in the darkness of the mine. far

SHEEP FAMINE
IN 1905 is THE PREDICTION OF
A WEALTHY MONTANA
STOCK RAISER.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. pa sheep fam
inc in 1905 is the prediction of ]. G..
Miller, wealthy stock raiser of Bill
lings, Montana, who is spending a few
days in Omaha, and buying winter
feeding grounds for his sheep in Ne
braska. Mr.. Miller. a Kentuckian by
birth, went to the northwest II years
ago and has accumulated a consider
able fortune during the intervening
period. He said today:
"The sheep market has been high
with the exception of a short slump a
few days ago. In the last two winters
thousands of sheep have been killed
by the cold. Fortunes have been
swept away almost in a night. Feed,
also, is getting more expensive. At
tracted by the high prices for sheep
and the low prices for cattle, some of
the cattlemen are working into the
sheep business as fast as they can, but
it is difficult to get sheep"
