CAN MAN LIVE TWO CENTURIES
woman Contends Present span IL Too
short and Gives Few
Rules.


Mrs. Henderson. In her volume. The
Aristocracy Of Health Harpersl. takes up
the question OF longevity.
Life Is too short for the attainment OF
highest purposes" she says. THE season
is ended before the natural harvest is be-
gun. In life of fifty years. twenty are
spent In sleep. The first twenty-five are
simply MISUNDERSTANDING how to live.
Five years out OF fifty are spent In that
famous occupation alleged by q French
officer as his cause for suicide. On his
prostrats form was found paper ON which
was written the reason for his WEAKNESS
OF life-he was tired OF 'buttoning and
unbuttoning.' Ten years out of fifty are
consecrated to the nourishment of the
inner nnan--that time for eating and drink
ing. Not that any OF these duties are un-
pleasant-quite the contrary; yet, all the
same. they consume the years. and how
much time is left for contribution to the
world7 In the majority OF human lives
such time is never reached"
Fun 200 years. Mrs. Henderson believes,
are clearly our due, ana she quotes a
number OF scientists-Oswald, virchow,
Nicola Tesla and others. who hold similar
views. In conclusion, Mrs. Henderson
gives seven admirable rules for proIonging
life.
The following rules for living to ripe
old age are given by Mrs. Henderson,:
l. Study the laws OF nature for health
and the remedies OF nature for cure.
g Avoid all poisons. -
Take abundant exercise in pure air,
but always short OF fatigue. So exercise
that every portion of the body is equally
benented. As It takes a strong engine for
a long journey cultivate lung power by
slow. deep-breathing exercises.
EsN only the amount OF food that na-
ture needs. and study what to eat from a
scientific point OF visw
3. Cultivate normal sleep. Live ana sleep
only In rooms that are well summed, wen
Yentilatsd and not overheated.
Cultivate the habit OF work In con-
nection with some worthy ambition, for
healthy exercise Of body and mind Is "a
strengthening as repose. and should bal
anee It. Work while you work ana rest
while you rest. avoiding all worry. Make
yourself useful 70 the world. and feel that
you have mission In IT,
!. Avoid bad environments. the worst Of
which Is the friend who encourages You
TO poison yourself.

FALL OF A LITERARY FRAUD
Curious Adventures of "a Disguised
KipIing story Sent to Literary
ExDerts.

A correspondent relates in the New York
Sun this novel literary experiences: Occa-
sionaily some unappreciated genius whose
manuscripts have been found unavailable
by long list of magazine editors rises
from his couch of thought and notifies the
public that ring exists. and that out
slders have no chance with their manu-
scripts. no matter how worthy they may
be Of consideration. Personally I have no
sympathy with the complaints Of these
literary wayfarers, possibly because I am
neither an author nor a writer myself, but
that a certain amount of really good ma
.teriai fs passed over and lost by rndiscern-
ing editors can affirm from the result
OF an adventure which will relate.
A nonliterary friend and myself, after
decided upon a test-perhaps one Of ques-
tionable propriety. but nevertheless test,
and a RELENTLESS one. One of Kipling's
most popular short stories was selected
The environment Of the tale was English,
but as the story depended little on local
color the scene was easily transferred to
America. An entire change OF names Of
characters was accomplished after con-
siderable mental effort. Aside from this, ]
give my word OF honor, not a paragraph.
a line, word or "a punctuation was
changed. Upon being typewriter It was
sent to the following publishers; Golfers
weekly, Harper's Monthly, scrfbner's,
Ainsiee's, Century, Munsey's. Lippincott's.
Metropolitan, Cosmopolitan. Outing Maya
CINE, McC1ure's Frank 1.eslie's. Every
body's Saturday Evening Post. Smart Set
and the Broadway Magazine.
In the case OF each OF the above mem
toned publishers the story was returned to
us accompanied by a note in which the
editorial soul breathed forth it's apprecia-
ton and regret, but nothing more. Finally,
to make the position OF the undiscerning
publishers superlatively ridiculousy the
manuscript was forwarded to Kipling's
original publishers Of the story. After an
interval Of about seven weeks We received
letter containing a check and acceptance.
The check was returned by US. with the
explanation that the story was TO be ampli-
fed into a novel. and In due time we re-
ceivedtour manuscript back.

MANY persons regarded Colonel Sellers

him a creation; but they were mistaken.

was not a person who could be exaggerated.
The incidents which looked most extrava-
CANT, both in the book and on the stage
were not inventions OF mine but were facts
OF his life; and l was present when they
were developed.
John T. Raymond's audiences used to
come near to dying with laughter over the
turnip eating scene; but. extravagant as
the scene was. II was faithful 20 the facts

who ate the turuips
I'm the hands of a great actor that
piteous scene would have dimmed any
manly spectators eyer with tears and
racked his ribs apart with laughter at the
same time. But Raymond was great IN
humorous portrayal only. In that he was
superb, he was wonderful-in word, great;
in all things else he was a pygmy Of the
pygmies.
"The real Colonel Sellers, as I knew him
in James hampton, was q pathetic and
beautiful spirit. a manly man, straight
and honorable man, man with big,
foolish unselhsh heart In his bosom, a man
born to be loved and he was loved by all
his friends, and by his family worshiped.
Il is the right word. To them he was but
little less than a god.
1.-THE real Colonel Sellers was never on
the stage. Only half Of him was there.
Raymond could not play the other half
of him; 1t was above his level. There was
only one man who could have played the
whole Of Colonel Sellers and that was

power to purchase certain parcel of
land adjoining the Cony schoolhouse
lot on the West road at an expense not
to exceed IS.
The bill of Joseph A. Shaw of $50
for sheep and lambs destroyed by dogs
was ordered paid at $50. On the ques-
ton of abatement of the taxes on the
property of the Free Will Baptist so
ciety on Grove street. it was voted t"
instruct the assessors to abate on the
church itself but not to abate the taxes
on the houses and stable.
The bill Of Mary E. Lowell of $125
for nursing small pox patient was ref
ferred to the committee on finance for
adjustment This bill came before the
board because the board of health had
declined to approve it.
Another bill that the board of health
did not see fit to approve was referred
to the same committee. 1t was that
of Z. NJ. Sawyer. for the carrying of
water and the provisions of milk and
butter for Mrs. Frances Merchant while
she was uuarantined for scarlet fever.
The hill amounted to $1,000.
The claim for damages of Mrs. Grace
n. Rowe OF NdSSdlDoto "ro eoH"h iA"A'A
the table on motion of Alderman Noyes
and was I'D for discussion. City Solicitor
Dutton explained his position On the mat
ter. saying that 1t was up to the board
to decide whether it would settle some
of these claims for damages or fight them
all. In his opinion Mrs. Rowe could not
recover for the damages she sustained
n the case was carried to a law court,
though she might recover before jury.
To fight the case and carry it before the
law court would cost more than the sum
at which Mrs. Rowe was willing to settle.
However. he would not attempt to outline
the policy CT the board: it was simply up
to them 1t was voted to settle with Mrs
Rowe for the sum of SIS.
All bills that were sent down to the
council were passed in concurrence with
little debate except in the Rowe case,
when one Of the councllmen did not like
the idea of settling at any price.
During the discussion the point was
raised that a quorum was not present,
but when it was found that that would
stop business the gentleman ''withdrew
the point and the wheels of government
were no longer clogged.
Both boards then adjourned.

Features Of the Days Dealings in All
tho Leading Stocks.

New York. Sept 1.-THE speculative
choice of favOrites went racing through
the market today and exploited the indi
vdlal stocks thus selected for what they
could be made to yield in the way of
a price movement. The furious activity
with which the sudden bursts, of buying
distinguished these stocks was no less as
tonishing than their sudden lapse into
dullness when operations turned to the
next choice on the selected list.
Some of the strongest and fOSt active
stocks of the early dealings lost all their
gains subsequently. those that immedi-
ltely followed in the movement lost part
and the latest corners into demand con-
served the best part of the gains. lndl-

THE MAINE FESTIVAL.
A Summary Of What Has Been Ae-
compIished In 10 Years.

The 10th Musical festival in Maine

It is to the credit of Maine people that
they have had the intelligence and
the wit to grasp the opportunities
which were held out to them when VIII
liam X. Chapman first proposed the
plan. the outcome of which is able
to withstand all adverse criticism.
The fame of the Maine festivals has

try it is recognized among musical au-
thorities as the high point in chorus
singing. but even in across the Allan

three days of music in Bangor are
awaited with interest, and even the
great English composer Sir William
Elgar, was so drawn by its Importance
last year that he nearly made an en-
gagement to come this fall to conduct
