There was one old man l knew

NOT THE YOUNG MEN.

1t is a noticeable and significant
fact, that of the multitude of men in
business and politics, who have re
Gently gone down i'm disgrace, have.
for the most part, been old men-men
advanced in years, men of eXpcricnC e
and large ability. We naturally expect
better things of old men. They are
supposed to know the pitfalls along
the way when they see them and to
have the good sense and courage TO
shun them. Young men who fall have
the reasonable plea of ineXperience,
impulse or weakness rs a partial eX-
cuse i'm mitigation. What reasonable
excuse can old men of long experience,
under the most favorable circumstan-
ces, with every advantage in life, plead
OF offer for their misdeeds?
Observation and experience shows
that the large majority Of business.
and professional men as well, who fall
into disgrace are men passed middle
life.
The eighty-fivc thousand prisoners.
and the twenty-five thousand suicides.
and the one hundred legal executions
in the United States yearly will aver
age over thirty-fivc years of age.
This doesn't mean that young men
are perfect. The crimes and sins of old
age generally have their beginnings in
earlie~ days. Old sins had young soil
in which to terminate and grow.
Old men become holder, less pru-
dent, more self-assured. Long con

OUR LARGEST RIVER PORT
Memphis Claims the Title with
Eighty-Four Boats-St. Louis
Next in Line.

Memphis, Tenn.-Memphis has 81
boats enrolled here at the home port.
with a total tonnage of 12,3lS tons.
St Louis comes next. with 70 boats.
showing a total tonnoge of 22,S20
tons. This large tonnage is shown by
reason of the fact that many barges
of large tonnage are making St Louis
the home port that are not entitled to
be named among boats that are regis
tered as traffic boats. Taking them
off would give Memphis a much
larger tonnage, and would also in
crease the number of boats in excess
of those at st. Louis. Cincinnati has
6S boats. with a total tonnage of A.
232 Many of these are also barges
and should not properly be named.
Wheeling. w. Va, is next to St.
Louis in number of boats, but the ton
mage is only S,1SS. The total number
of boats is 70. Evansville has II. with
a total tonnage of $500. New Or
leans has 80 boats engaged in the
river trade. and a total tonnage of
4,74S. Paducah has 80, with a total
tonnage of 5.542. while Louisville has
3S boats, with a total tonnage of
