MEN OF TALENT LIVE LONG.

1t is very common but erroneous
belief that brain work is destructive OF
physical strength. The fact is that
men of thought and mental force have
always been distinguished for their
age. Solon, Sophocles, Pindar, Ana
creon and Nenophon were octogen-
arians, Kent, Button, Goethe, Fonten-
nellie and Newton were over 80.
Michael Angelo and Titan were 80
respectively. Harvey, the discoverer
Of the circulation of the blood, lived to
be 80. Many men have done excel
lent work after they have passed 80
years. Lander wrote his Imaginary
Conversations" when IS. Izaak Wal
ton welded ready pen at 80. Hahne-
mann married at so, and was still
working at 81. Michael Angelo was
still painting his giant canvases at 80,
and Titan at 80 worked with the vig-
or of his early years. says the chicago
Chronicle.
Fontennelle was as light-hearted at
SO as at 40, and Newton at SO worked
as hard as he did in middle life. Cor
raro was in far better health at 50
than at 80, and as happy as sandboy
At Hanover DR.. Du Boisy was still
practicing as a physician in 1897, go
ing his daily rounds at the age of lO3.
William Reynold Salmon, M. R. S.,
Of Conbridge, Glamorganshire, died on
March IL, 1897, at the age of LOG.
At the time of his death he was the
Oldest known individual of indispu-
tably authenticated age, the oldest
physician, the Oldest member of the
Royal College Of Surgeons, England
and the oldest Free Mason IN the
world.

Celia! He spelt it out, repeated it,
and approved it. Celia was almost
enough for him, since some day she
would change the other for his. Still,
it would be as we'll to know her pres
ent surname. 1t began with "Mis-
possessed" with NJ, in fact. Very
slowly he spelt i: out, M-A-Y-N.E.
The letter fell from his hands and
futtered on the floor.
So this was his luck; this was the
end of the masquerade. He had shot

COUNTING THE CHICKENS:

| cannot agree with those people who's
1t is foolish to borrow JOY;
1t is true that the hopes which ha bossomed today
Tomorrow g blasts may destroy;
But even if none Of the blessings you see
In the future may ever be won, . -. 3
The hope that you have is blessing, for he
Who cannot have hope is undone-
The hopes that we have and the joys we retaste
rob life of its wormwood and gall,
Better count your chickens before they are hached
than never to count them at all.
If we counted no chickens before they appeared
Men would push no highways ahead.
We would build no foundations, that walls might
be reared,
We would wait for tomorrow in dread!
There is many bud that is spoiled ere it blows,
And blight Oft descends on the vine,
But was there not joy in our hopes of the rose
And the fanciful taste Of the wine?
Men would cease to go towing in spring if they
ceased f,rseeing their crops in the fall
Better count your chickens before they are tatched
than never to count them at all
The bale you fondle SO gladly today
May never achieve renown,
lie may stray from the upward ard difficult way :
To the easy one lea ding down,
But you look in his innocent face and tors
High honors the world shall bestow
For his work and his eforts-and how woult it be p
If you pictured him worthless and low
The hopes that you-have ard the dreams that YOU
dream keep sorrow from spreading her pail.
Better count your chickens before they hatched
than never to count them at ALL.

THE BOY AND WHAT TO DO
WITH HIM.

Leslie NJ. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, does not confne himself to
finance in his thinking or in his public
utterances. He recently gave these
expressions, in response to an inquiry,
on most important suhject-the Boy:
"It may always have been so, but it
is especially true today that the world
is producing a higher type of woman
hood than of manhood he said. "In
all our towns and cities there are more
young women whom you would vel
come to your homes as daughters-in-
law than young men whom you would
welcome as sons-in-law. There are
reasons why this is so, but there is no
excuse. There is nothing in the world
so we'll worth looking after as the boy,
and there is no being in the world so
neglected as the boy. There is little
place, scant room for him. He is well
come in the home as baby and he is
welcome as man, but there is scant
welcome for him as boy.
"We chaperone our girls-and not
too carefully-but we leave the boy to
choose his associates and his environ
ments, with much advice and very lit
tie guidance. Girls are naturally win
some, gentle: companions BILE, and they
win their way to and are welcome in
all homes. But do not know Of many
homes where boys are invited. About
the only door that swings with sure
welcome to the boy, about the only
chair that is showed near the fire es-
pecially for the boy, about the only
place where he is sure of cordial
greeting is where you do not desire
him to go.
ut is about the hardest thing in the
world to get hold of a boy-to get a
sure grip on him. 1t is pretty hard
to win the companionship of your boy.
You think you know something about
him, but perhaps that is very little.
Very likely he knows more about you
than you do about him. Yet that boy
is hungry for companionship, and he
will have it. He wants the compan-
ionship Of boys. Nothing will take
its place. l think boys as a rule pre-
fer boys schools. Ifpermitted to they
will quit the public school if given
nothing but young girls as teachers.
They may remain under the tuition of
matronl y women, but not under the
tuition of girls. 1t is not a question
of who is the better teacher. It is a
question of companionship.
"If the twentieth century shall sue
ceed in finding the boy, it will be be-
cause the boy succeeds in finding him
self.'

GENTLEM AN.

There is probably but one definition
II lie word gentleman" yet there
are many ways of expressing that def
milton. Thackeray gives perhaps the
most direct and pleasing expression Of
the word in the following: "To be a
gentleman is to be honest, to be gentle,
to be generous, to be brave, to be wise,
and, possessing all these qualities, to
use them in the most graceful outward
manner"
At another time the great novelist
defines a gentleman in these words:
"Perhaps a gentleman is rarer
man than some of US think. Which
of US can point out many such in his
circle; men whose aims are generous,
whose truth is not only constant in its
kind, but elevated in its degree. whose
want of meanness makes them simple,
who can look the world honestly in
the face with an equal manly sympathy
for the great and the. small?'
Huxley defines the word in this
manner:
"Thoughtfulness for others, gener-
osity, modesty and selfrespect are the
qualities which make real gentleman
or lady, as distinguished from the
veneered article which commonly goes
by that name"
81 reckon John will go to studyin'

Luck, Of a Masquerade.

Watts Dunstanton drove. "Io
keep the chill off is to keep the hand
in,' he explained to Roger, and "burn
me-" he added, "but tits cold morn
ing, and Sir Harry the deuce of a shot. F."
He kept the mare at brisk clatter
accordingly, so that the physician be-
hind clung to the handrail convulsive-
ly, and you could hear all his instru-
ments a shake in their box.
Roger was glad that his cousin was
content to do the driving, since for his
own part he wanted to reflect. Never
had be felt less inclined to act second
in duel. 1t seemed such a poor end
to that glorious masquerade of the
night before, to be bound-only four
hours later-for the lower fields of
Hampstead, there to look on two men
facing each other with pistols in the
frost of the morning, and one his cous-
in. 1t was likely to be bloody busi-
ness, too, for the men were to fight
until one or the other was disabled.
And though the business Of war was
Lieutenant Roger Dunstanton's own
business, yet this affair was inoppor-
tune. How should he look forward to
the crack Of pistols, when for the first
time in his life the sound of lady's
voice was lingering music in his heart?
To be dragged from his dream into
this deadly scuftle was intolerable.
To the beat of the mares boots on
the road he went over the whole events
of the night. First boredom, then
fascination, and lastly, a rude waking
to the scowls and brawling in the
cardroom-tbose were the events in
order.
The boredom began almost at the
beginning Of the ball, for Roger being
fresh from campaigning in the Low
Countries and life that was energet-
ic, if not very glorious, found himself
alien from the glitter and the heat,
the dancing and the incessant violins.
1t seemed all tongue and prancing-
this masqncrade-the dancing brisk
enough, the chatter lively enough, but
to glide and exchange gossip all night
long with mask promised to end in
monotony If the ladies' had but dis

better. Roger began to explain his
view of masquerades somewhat ingenu-
ous|y to a. partner whom he was lead

"How so?'
"For one reason, because it is the
dullest thing to say, and all dula rds

SHOCK RESTORES HER SIGHT
Mothers Death Affects Little Blind
Girl Strangely.

Salina, Kas., Jan. 25.-Five weeks
ago Hattie Hinkley, the twelve-year-
old daughter of Doctor Hinkley of Bar
nard, Kas., a small town north of this
city. suffered the loss of her eyesight
in very mysterious manner. She re-
tired one night in good health. The
next morning she awakened about 6
O'Clock, but all appeared black t., her.
Physicians We're called, and, finding
her totally blind treated her for sever
al weeks. In the meantime Mrs. Einl-
ley became prostrated as a result of
her daughters affliction and her death
soon followed.
The morning after her mother s
death Miss Hinkley awoke to find her
sight restored. The recovery was not
complete, however. The restoration
was as strange and mystifying as the
manner in which her sight had been
temporarily taken away. The occur.
renee has caused a great deal of ex-
element in the vicinity of Barnard.
and nc cause can be assigned for the
girls strange experience.

COWHERD'S LITTLE JOKE

prepared to pay $4,000 into the treas

condition that Kansas City get the con-

Milwaukee had raised it 100000. This
aroused the Indignation of Colonel

It's disgraceful. that's all; it's disgrace

But it developed that Milwaukee had

it could do was to promise to pay that
sum providing it could be raised. Then
Colonel Wetmore changed his tactics.
