A French officer, Louis De Chantilly,
tells of his discovery in Buddhist
convent in the mountains Of Tonkin Of
a dusty manuscript containing the
Chinese version of the seven ages of
man.
"At ten years old, says the writer,
whose name has long been forgotten,
F'the boy has heart and a brain as
soft as the tender shoots of a young
bamboo. AT 20 he is like a green
banana; he is just beginning to ripen
in warm rays of common sense.
Thirty years sees him developed
into buffalo. He is strong and lusty,
full of bodily and mental vigor. This
is the true age of love- it is the age
for him to marry at
Eat 40 years tne prosperous man has
grown to be mandarin and wears a
coral button But it would be truly
indiscreet to confne to him at this
early age any functions calling for ju-
dicial intelligence or calm.
When he reaches so years, however,
although he has grown stout and
fieshy, he is fit to hold any municipal
or state Office; he can administer a
city or province or perform any Off
cial duty.
but at go years he is old. Handi-
craft and all active bodily activities
are beyond him. He gives his de-
pendents and clients advice That is
all he is fit for.
Eat 70 he is just dry straw. He
has only one care-to husband the
breath Of life that is left in him, to
preserve it, even by artificial means.
His sons must assume the care of his
estate and the performance of his du-
ties"

Talked Them Into Prison.

"About 80 years ago Henry Clay
Dean, the eccentric Missouri lawyer
and orator, was attending a term Of
court at which | was defending a
man on a pretty serious charge said
Judge Risdon of Kirksville the other
day to Kansas City Star writer.
Two horse thieves that were in jail
sent for Dean. He took their case.
and after looking at it from all sides
concluded the best thing for them to
do was TO plead guilty and take two
years each.
His men baked at the idea of
pleading guilty. He told them that
the penitentiary wasn't bad sort of
place; he had been all through it and
knew The warden-a personal friend
of mine-is ore of the kindest men
that ever lived, said Dean; he never
makes you work when you are tired;
and when you are sick he always looks
after you like a mother. You get
roast beef and brown bread every day,
and pie and turkey on Sunday. Why,
when Bill Jenkins-you boys know
Bill--used to run a little sawmill over
in the corner of Putnam county, they
sent him up for-er-borrowing corn.
When he went there he didn't weigh
over hundred and thirty pounds, reg
ular skin and bones, and in six months
he weighed 900 pounds avoirdupois,
and was made captain of the guard
just getting along fine; sa d he
wouldn't swap his job for any other
in Missouri and wrote his folks to
come down and live with him. The
prison can't hurt anything but your
reputation and what does fellow
who's been stealing care about repu-
tations, anyway?
1.-THE two horse thieves by this time
were dead anxious to plead guilty and
begin life in the pen More than
that, all the other fellows in the jail
who had heard Deans talk insisted on
pleading guilty and going along"

CRITICAL MOMENT.
When John Wanted the Ring 4 Was
N His Sock.


John Jenkinson would not have ex-
changed situations with the prime min
istec, the prince Of Wales or the drum
major Of a brass band.
Felicia Wilkins had answered Yes
In voice as soft and gentle as the
sigh 81 music in dreamless sleep or
the murmuriag wall of caressing
breeze from lethean waters soothingly
tanning the whisxers Of Father Time.
"Eelicit Wilkins" he exclaimed rap
turously, as his left hand and arm
disappeared from sight with rapid
set sneaking motion toward the back
of the sofa on which they sat, and
the fingers Of his right hand appear
cd to be feeling for something in his
vest pocket, you have made me the
happiest man in the world
The timid, upturned glance of her
liquld dark eyes, says Tit-Bits, and the
warm blush that overspread the happy
face Of the l1yely girl replied more
cloquently th;n words could have
done
And you will forgive my presump-
ton, darling" he continued, IF, in am
ticipQtion of your answer, have ven
tured to provide myself with-with
a-with a."
Jenkinson paused in some apparent
excitement, and his finger and thumb
nervously explored his vest pocket
without seeming to find anything.
II must have lost it," he gasped.
Felicia. it was ring! Ha! Perhaps
il is in some other pocket"
Rising to his feet he thrust a
trembling hand into his trousers
pocket
There was hole in that pocket.
John said Felicia, as she noted
with concern his CHASTITY face, on which
the light of a desperate resolve was
breaking, don't grieve over it. 1t will
turn up. You are excited. Is there any
thing can do"
Yes, exclaimed John, in a hollow
voice. Felicia, think l know where
that ring is. If you would do me a
favor ! shall never forget until the
last hour of my life, get me a shoe
horn and leave me to myself for a'few
moments

But, above all, please, if should hap

Named Pills as Weapons.

An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar
rived at not by swords or pistols but
by means of deadly poison, says
Pail Mall Gazette. The men, who, it
Is hardly necessary to say, had fallen
out over lady, had left the arrange
ments of details to their seconds, and
until they faced each other they did
not know by what method they were
TO settle their differences
One Of the seconds was doctor,
and he had made up for the occasion
four black pellets, all identical in
size and shape. I'm one of these" he
said, Il have placed sufficient guam
tity of prussic acid to cause the al
most instantaneous death Of anyone
who swallows it.
1--WE will decide by the toss of a
Doin which of you is to have first
choice, and you will alternately draw
and swallow a pill until the poison
