WILL SEEK LOST

Arthur B. Hanbury OF Denver is

discovered gold there back In 1926
or thereabont. and people knew there
was gold there, but no one had ever
been able TO bring any back, except
the little that q man could carry. In
this party. however. one old miner
came back with a piece of rock that
carried nearly $4,000 In gold and
he declared that there was a four foot

him for he was not known az build

This all sounds like a sure enough

GRAHAM AGAIN
WINS VICTORY.
OLD REVERENCE
FOR OLD AGE.

There is an old story which illus
trates the reverence which the an
cient Spartan felt for old age. Into
one OF the greatest amphitheaters of
Greece. filled TO the gates with a
throng assembled To witness the ath-
letic games so popular in those days.
an aged man went one day. Every
seat was taken. One hundred Athen-
ian boys sat on one side: as many
spartan youths sat on the other side
Seeing the old man, the Athenian
boys. true TO their Instructions. rose
and uncovered their heads. but not
one went SO far as TO offer his place
To the aged man.
He turned toward the Spartan side
All rose. and, bowling low. each prof
fered his seat whereupon the Athen-
Ian lads broke out in prolonged ap-
plause.
The old man paused. smiled. and
bowling. said: THE Athenian knows
what reverence for old age is: the
Spartans show that reverence"
Is IL not true that many of us are
little slow In extending that re-
spect To old age which we know be-
longs To II? IL is so easy. &c may
be to pass the aged by without a
word or greeting. but how much
such word means To them A little
more thonghtfulness. little greater
regard for the sensitive nature of
those In advanced life. little kindly
anort In their behalf. and the world
would be both happier and brighter.
