1t is a good thing for a man t.
span the time between adoleScent
youth and that period when the gray
hairs are coming in and a doting old
age seems not 50 very far removed.
1t is z far CRY from Riverside. Cal. to
Riverside. Ne. ana the % years that
have elapsed since I last saw the boy
hood home have brought vastly fewer
changes to the eastern Riverside than
to it's namcSakc under Semi-trOpic
skies. 1t may be set down as a gen.
eral proposition that though one may
vi-it the locality his old home is
found never at all. Time is a ruth
less destroyer, and youthful illusions
arc swept away as ruthleSSly as fate.
You may think your treasured mental
picture is correct of the old home,
but YOU are disappointed when you
come back to find nought left of the
youthful habitat save 2 tangle of wild
vines running riot over a hole in the
ground. 1t is but the half-filed Gel
lar. all that remains Of the home site.
