Women Youna At Elnhtn .five.

From the Baltimore American.
The old saying that a man is as old
as he feels and woman as old as she
looks has always been unsatisfactory
to those women who happened TO look
somewhat more mature than their
years. All the world Of women. there

timism, cheerful advice and positive
declaration Of Father Alexis, OF New
York, who asserts that "women ought
always to consider themselves young.
woman is young until she Is IS. At
ter that she may be regarded as an old
maid"
Father Alexis eloquently advised
marriage, and when some one OF the
women OF his flock suggested discon-
soately that they were getting too old
to marry that they were "od maids. -
and on the shelf" he broke out impa-
tiently against the impression of age
or that woman should ever deserve
the appelation OF ''old maid"
The preservation OF youth in both
women and men is an art too little un-
derstood. IL is not the art Of the tall
or, costumer milliner, coinuer, or ma
nipulator OF cosmetics. IL is the art of
getting and keeping good health by
proper exercise, diet. care OF the body.
and the successful cultivation OF a
cheerful disposition. These, with the
arts OF good manners. of politeness. OF
saying things full Of hope, instead OF
looking at the gloomy side Of life Will

with the vivacity of youth. Father
Alexis should have monument. II he

OF calling a girl an "old maid" IL she

ON him from behind and inflicted six
wounds with a shoemaker's knife
which he had managed to secrete be-
fore he could be overpowered. The
blade of the knife penetrated Ander-

Anderson and Duncan escaped togeth-

animosity toward Anderson
II is said by the prison off cials that
Anderson's complaint about Duncan
and the subsequent goading by other
prisoners who wanted Duncan to re.

That AndersCn's death was ordered

silent though terrible boycott for his

While he was telling Warden Hershey
the story of his escape he was sealing
his doom. From that hour the society
OF the lost souls had cast him out as
an unclean thing.
