With glorious afternoon before me

yards ahead two snipe rose, darting

make long circuit, which according

THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

The ancient belief in an elixir of life
is not abandoned. A Chicago profes-
sor is arguing gravely that it is not
impossible for modern men to live as
long as did Methuselah.
All that is required is to discover
what the different tissues of the BODY
need for food and to give each tissue
the exact amount that is wanted.
This scientist believes, as the old
a]chemists did, that man, having eaten
of the fruit Of the tree of knowledge.
may be able to put forth his hand and
eat of the tree of life, in spite of The
flaming word meant to keep man
away from it.
Our eating is entirely empirical"
says the learned scientist. That is his
way of stating the fact that we eat
whatever we please whenever we get
it.
We eat to appease our hunger and
please our palates, and know and
care less about the tissues and their
needs than Of any other earthly sub
jet.
Men eat unscientifically and will
continue to do so in spite of any
scheme of dietetics If we fed our
selves as raticnally as we feed our
horses, or even our dogs, we would un-
doubtedly have longer life and better
health.
But human life is more Than merely
physical We have life separate
from that of animals. The spirit has
much to do in making mans life long
and more in making it sweet.
There are men and women young at
80 and others old at so. The physical
health may not be better in the one
class than in the other. But the diff
ference lies in the mental ind tenn
peramental makeup.
The man at 80 has viewed the world
sanely, has fitted himeslf into his en-.
vironment, has had worthy purposes
and carried them out without unnec-
sary friction.
The truest elixir CT life consists in
wholesome spirit. Every man must
be his own alchemist

Found Guilty OF Assault
On Little Girl

Saturday when the matter came
up for trial hard fight was made
all the way through. The state
introduced some strong evidence
which the defense attempted to
offset. It developed in the testi-
mony that there had been some
trouble between the father of the
girl and Wayman, but story was
never downed that he did in some
manner assault the little girl.
The jury was out only a half
hour. When the verdict OF
guilty was brought in the defense
made a motion that the verdict be
set aside on the ground that it
was contrary to the law and the
evidence. However, the court
over-ruled the motion, and the de-
PENDANT was fined in the sum OF
of 500 and costs, which makes
a total of about $75.

The case of John Wayman, a
prominent young farmer of Wav-
erly, w. Va, charged with as
sault and battery on a little girl
named Mills, was tried Saturday
at Parkersburg in criminal court,
and after the jury was out about
thirty minutes, at the conclusion
of the testimony and brief argu-
ments, verdict of guilty of the
charge contained in the indict>
ment was returned.
\ Wayman had been originally
held for attempted criminal as
sault, by a magistrate in Will
liams district. When the matter
was brought before the last
grand jury for investigation the
grand jury thought that an IN
dictment for assault and battery
would suffice.
