An excellent definition is this.
There may have been time in the
history of the democratic party
when its adherents could have given
a plausible reason for the faith that

the average democrat can now give
for the faith that is in him is, that
he is a democrat because his daddy

A MAE named Doe applied to the
New York courts not long ago for a
change of name.

he said. Everybody looks upon me
Rs a joke. The minute l meet a man
ne begins to grin. so there really
are flesh and blood Does he says. I
Hsad always supposed the Doe family
existed for judicial purposes alone
I explain that, according to the d.
,rectory. there are several of US poo
devils pegging along, handicapped by
fhat popular cognomen, but the fact
OF numbers in no wise increases his
regard for me. He simply declines to
take me seriously; therefore, if 1 ex

DON'T THINK YOU ARE OLD.

A certain amount of social life Is
absolutely essential to the old as well
Is to the young. A woman never
grows SO old that she ceases to enjoy
the company of others, and generally
the older she grows the more she en-
Joys it. 1t is always a pity to see a
man fall into a state which he *
plains by saying: "Oh, we're getting
old, and don't are for SO much va
1iety in our lives" says Woman's Life.
IA the pure s%elfishness Of his soul he
always speaks of Gus" and "we," as
af it naturally follows that because
he is getting antiquated his wife must
keep pace with him in his decline.
Let him keep in touch with the world,
end both he and his wife will be the
better and the younger for it.
