OUR OLD FOLKS.
Michiean's Showing of Old Age Rang
ina From 20 to ITO.


Just when IA person leaves of being
young and qualities for entrance into
the class of old folks is question
too dangerous for detailed discussion.
Some authorities put q separating dash
after The age of 60, and perhaps this
will answer in the absence OF any of
fetal ruling. Proceeding on the sep
tuagenerian basis, it is TO be remarked
that the state of Michigan is rich In
ancients; the days of the inhabitants
OF the Wolverine state are long In the
land and Michigan must be mighty
healthful place to live in. The report
of the last census shows this very en-
viable record

sFrOm which it will be seen there
are more very old women than very
old men, and more moderately old
men than moderately old women
Until another claimant shows. Ber-
nard McNally, of Clinton, must be re-
ferred to as Michigan's Oldest living
resident. Mr.. McNally, who celebrated
last month his 10th birthday, says
he would rather base his claim TO
fame on his ability as pedro player
than as a centenarian. He is acknowl-
edged to be one of the best players OF
this diverting game In the section. Re-
Gently, he was one of the guests at a
pedro party given by Mrs. Mary Sui
livan. and the way he polished up the
other contestants was. sure proof that
the faculties do not always depart with
the weight of the century mark.

has demopstrated the wisdom of the policy of treating the lands of the na- ton as public trust, to be disposed of In all cases ana wherever possible to actual settlers. The people of the West are unalterably opposed to change in this wholesome and beneficial pol icy. Forest reserves should only be created where they do not infringe on this policy. In all cases the rights of the State and the people of the States to the free and unhampered use of lands within the forest reservations should not be only permanent, but en- couraged and-no charge should be inn posed thereon. The necessity of tor est reservations is recognized. The resolutions, however. favor the prompt elimination from forest reservations of all lands not timbered or suitable for rcforestation or reasonably necessary to conserve the flow of streams used for irrigation. It Is especially judged that the reports and secret service agents of the land department and of the Department of Agriculture should be made under oath. A modification of any existing orders which prevent bona fde filings on any of the public coal lands is demanded. The national irrigation law is heartily endorsed.
 It Is asked that Congress legislate with respect to school State deprived of these lands may re- cover its full quota of lands or its equivalent for the purpose of which they were originally intended
 It is finally demanded that in States wherein forest reserves are situated and not directed and are excessive the reservation should be reduced to req sonable limits whether land restored of this timber or not.

pr. Andrew S. Draper. Commissioner of Education of the State of New York and formerly president of the Uni versity of Illinois, was born at West ford, N. r., June 21, 1S4S. His father young Draper went with the family given him in the public schools and in the Albany academy. He then took course of law at Union College and returned to Alabny, where he entered the practice of his profession. Tn this work he contiued for nine years un- til President Arthur made him one of the committee to investigate the Ala bama claims. After spending three years in the capital at this work he returned to Albany and resumed the practice of law. He was elected by the legislature as superintendent of the schoos of New York. As he had never had any part in the superintendence of state education, or in any education al work whatever, his selection was opposed by the people, who were greatly displeased with. the action Of the legislature. But the good results he had achieved before the end of his term met with such hearty approval that he was enthusiastically reelected When the eight years of his service were at an end he was called to be superintendent of the public school sys- tenn of Cleveland. In 1894 he was elect ed president of the University of llli- nois. Here he remained until 1904, when he was elected first Commissioner ot Education for New York
