Wallace, having been elected Govern.
or Of Indiana In 1887 and to Congress
In 1912 from the indianapolis district.
The father was man Of strong parts
and Of illustrlous ancestry. In his
youthful days General Wallace dis.
played a tendency to neglect the op.
portunltles which his fathers position
gave him. He, hated books and
schools. and remained ut school only
80 long as 1t was impossible to avoid.
In this manner he acquired but little
real fundamental education.
Previous to the outbreak of the
Mexican war General Wallace had un.
dertaken the study Of law. When the
call for soldiers came he was among
the first to enlist. lie was not yet 20
years old. but his services were so
merltOriOus that he came back from
the war a lieutenant. At the close Of
the war he married Susan A. Elston,

Possibly the least success attained by

THE GIRLS WOULD

1t can hardly be credited that Cupid

WHAT KEEPS PEOPLE YOUNG.

What is it that keeps people young?
is question difficult to answer says
the New York Tribune. But that there
is a great difference between persons
belonging to the same generation when
they reach the period of life called
middle age is very apparent. In fact,
nowadays not a few women of fifty
seem younger and look younger than
many who are in their thirties. Youth
fulness as a quality is almost as in
tangible an attribute as charm, and
as difficult to analyze. 1t comes from
within quite as much as from with
out, and is a spiritual as we'll as a
material inheritance, for it is obvious
that the merely well preserved woman
whose complexion, hair teeth, figure
etc, are still good, is not necessarily
young for her years-in fact, some
contemporary whose charms have not
stood the ravageS of time nearly as
well may be far more truly youthful.
Prolonged youthfulness, therefore,
seems to owe it's continuity partly, at
least, to some inner. fire that shines
through the outer cuticle, so to speak
and permeates the personality OF it's
fortunate possessor with it's lightness.
People who enjoy life," as the saying
is, providing, of course, that they do
not 40 10 GACtSS III any way
young much longer than those who
have quieter tastes. Living on excite
ment. il pleasurable, does not appear
to be injurious, as is generally sup
posed. On the contrary, taken moder-'
ately, excitement to a temperament
that Graves it, is a necessity. wom-
an who loves a society life generally
keeps young much longer than one
who leads a purely domestic exist
ence A fondness for sports is reju-
venating. A keen interest in outside
things is a preventive against aging
prematurely. The gregarious instinct
helps one to keep in touch with youth,
and so on-in short. person who
wishes to keep young during the other
wise dreary period of middle age should
be mindful Of all these things and
many others, and then, with a sound
body, prepossessing appearance and
good spirits, there is no reason why
one should not feel young at fifty years
of age and over.

WATER BOTTLE HIS UND0ING.

A RoXborough man who sometimes
stays out very late at night-always,
he assures his wife, on business-has
observed the Curious phenomenon, says
the Philadelphia Record, that if he
comes in within an hour after his bet
ter half has retired she is sure to
wake up, whereas if she has been
asleep three or four hours she is not
aroused, and to her invariable ques-
ton the next morning as to what
hour he came home he is able to give
a well-considered answer. But, I'M
fortunately for the tranquil flow of
domestic life, the wife finally noted
the peculiar fact herself and ever
since. when she has slept through
the husbands me-coming; she has
received his next mornings statements
concerning the hour of that event with
a certain suggestive reserve.
Then the man hit upon the plan of
making enough noise whenever he
came home to wake the woman up, no
matter what the time, and things ran
smoothly again, with no questions ask
ed. But this device went all to smash
the other night and quite suddenly.
The husband reached home at g.
M, and, as usual, made sufficient
noise. Then from the bed, dimly out
lined in the light from an electric
street lamp that shone in the Win
dow, an arm was stretched forth hold
ing a hot water bottle.

MATCHING THE DOG.

Have you something in brown to
match this?"
The clerk, says the Boston Adver-
tiser, glanced up inquiringly at the tau
woman, who held out nothing but a
Pomeranian dog, which she was plac-
ing upon the counter. He held out his
hand politely and questioningly.
This" explained the woman, pat
ting the little feathery dog.
The man still held out his hand, a
dazed look growing on his face.
Il want a walking suit to match my
dog" the woman said.
The sample barked and called the
clerks attention to business.
Il am sure we can do it, madam, "
murmured the clerk, glancing over the
golden-brown Of the dogs coat. Hes
just in the stylish. color"
Il know, and that's what put into
my head the idea of having suit to
match him. A friend of mine has a
black Pomeranian, and she's got a
black suit on purpose to wear with
him. The effect is stunning, but
think mine will be more so. 1t is funny
that his coat should be just the yellow
brown that is the range this spring"
To be sure that she was getting just
the right shade, the material and the
dog were carried to the door into the
strong sunlight. A perfect match sent
the woman with face wreathed with
satisfaction into other departments
with her precious sample tucked under
her arm.

therefore the custom of clothing the

An Easter parnhlc

Once in u sheltered garden there
bloomed beautiful flower so sweet and
pure that the south wind forsook all
other spots to sweep ceaselessly, caress-
ingly around it, whispering soft words Of
love.
But one day the flower faded, nor
could the south wind with warm kisses
revive its dropping head.
Then came the gardener through his
garden, who, seeing the dying flower,
plucked it from its stem and, tearing
out its golden heart. buried it deep in
the black earth.
Cruel, cruel mani" shricked tile south
wind, because it understood not.
All winter long the cold white snow
lay on the heart of the flower, and over
II tile south wind sobbed its rage at tie
pitilcss gardener.
But when the spring came, behold,
the flower arose, more beautiful than
before!
And the south wind, understanding,
kissed the bronzed cheek of the gardener
in joyous penitence.
For kind of heart is the gardener of
the universe. though man, foolish and
tickle as the south wind, understands him
not, and, as one who loves NIL growing
things will stoop to brush little blem-
ish from the humblest flower, SO stoops
he to remove tho smallest sorrow from
the tiniest blossom in his great garden
of light petaled stars.
