The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1904-03-10

q few minutes since he had passed
his 22nd year, suddenly found him
self overwhelmed with family sick
ness, deaths and property losses.
A few weeks later and just as he
seemed to waken from dream, a
dazed condition. or hypnotic state
with new successes within easy
reach, he found himself in a.
county Jail with term of years in
prison staring him in the face. In
a few months his black hair turned
to white and lines began to appear
in his face. Many of his pessi-
mistic acquaintance who called
upon him threw up their hands IN
horror, and alphabetically sought
to remind him in more ways than
one that he was a mental and
physical wreck, that he had &C.
complished a lightning transforma-
ton in passing from the young
man to old age and that he might
as we'll lie down and die. Others
were optimistic and contented
themselves with confirming their
conversation to cheerful and hope
full topics and overlooked no oppor-
tunity to remind him that his
best days were before him and
drew numerous word pictures of
rosy future. Now, who displayed
the most common sense those
acquaintance who sought to ina
press upon his mind the feeling
that he was simply an old man,
broken down, his days of useful
ness gone, that the future held
nothing in store for him; or those
who sought to impress him with
the belief that he could undergo
term in prison and come out in
time to reach the top of the ladder
before old age should overtake
him? He came to Saltwater and
IS holding his own against great,
odds, but if he had yielded to one
half the hypnotic suggestions and
influences that have been encoun-
tered, half of his time would have
been occupied with taking medi-
cines, pills, pastes and plasters,
and the other half in dying and
nursing pessimistic thoughts and
imagination.
On one of our holidays a year
or two ago a man was asked the
question who a certain man is that
contributes to the columns of The
MIRROR. The reply was, "He is
an old man all bent over" Now
should man be an old man before
he is forty years old just because
misfortunes or thoughtlessness has
warped his body? On another
occasion man was asked informa-
ton as to certain MIRROR writer
and the reply was to the effect that
the individual was an old man who
wore glasses. Should a man who
is not much older than forty be
old simply because he wears
glasses? And, by the way, why is
it that so many men here wear
glasses why so many weak eyesf
The writer of this does as much
reading and writing as any of
them, but he is still favored with
a good eyesight and hopes he will
not be compelled tc use spectacles
for some years to come. Now, old
age is honorable and it agrees.
with some people, their ripened
experience making them more USE
full; but in most cases, when its dim
outlines think of appearing in the
distance, the recipient to be seems
to feel that it is about time to lose
q large portion of his ambition and
usefulness, to acquire aches and
pains, and the world seems toshare
with him in these hypnotic imagi-
nations
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1904-03-10

For the past six or eight months the gambling
houses of Minneapolis have been sstuck up, at least
once fortnight by truculent person whose physiog
nomy was hidden by slouched hat and mask and
who packed big loaded revolver. His method Of
procedure was to line up the patrons of the clubs
against the wall and after relieving them Of their
money and valuables to depart without precpitancy
We see by the papers thatsthe identity Of this
enterprising party is longer secret. It seems
that he is known to the police and to the gamblers,
and has been ordered to leave town or submit to
the indignity Of being arrested as a-vagrant by
your leave.
Gambling in Minneapolis is controlled by a
syndicate The avowed object of the syndicate is to
get your money. It's methods businesslike,
effective and painless. It's representatives are
courteous aable and skillful and hitherto the sage
and his money have been parted withsuch nvariable
delicacy and refinement that the syndicate has waxed
famous This masked marauder business will injure
it's reputation. Let them go, even if they have a
little left; they'll come back againis wise counsel

hands, exposing his body to attack.

As the amount was 50 small. the fa-

be made would cost about ~ centesimi

Three months afterward he received
a demand from the local state treasury
for the payment OF IL lire AZ centesimi
(nearly S3). Thinking a mistake had
been made, he took no notice OF this
demand, with the result that later an
official called upon him and demanded
the immediate payment OF 1S lire

money fr hand, so the official ooh pos

THE VETERANS PARAnED.
Twenty-Six Thousand Survivors of the
Union Forces Were in Line.

Boston, Aug. 17.-Tuesday 26,000
civil war assembled from all sections;
of the United States, marched through
the streets Of Boston. Five and one
half hours were required for the pa
rade to pass a given point and it was
severe strain on the old soldiers,
but generally they bore the hardship
we'll More than three score of them
dropped in the ranks from exhaustion
and heat prostration and were cared
for at the field and civic hospitals.
The death of one soldier marred an
otherwise happy day. Col. John P.
Pyron, a member of John A. Dix post,
of New York, died from heart failure
induced by exhaustion. At least ESQ
spectators, mostly women, walked
during the parade, and many persons
were slightly injured and had their
clothing torn in the crush.
The spectacle of the marching gray
haired soldiers was one calculated to
thrill and everywhere the army was
received with applause.
"A

northerly side Of the famous Boston

his guests the mayors of dozen

children dressed variously in white,
