WHAT IS LENGTH OF LIFE!

Il would give $20000O 900 to any wizard who could add 10 years to my allotted span of life"
 This remark, half serious, is cred |ited to Andrew Carnegie, says an cN- change It surely is a tempting offer, but there is no taker.
 Would it be worth the money?
 That depends on the viewpoint
 Many man would givc-Siadly give 10 years of his life for S20,00O,- GOO and think it good bargain. Yes; many man has clipped off far more than 10 years of his life for a good deal less than that.
 Length of life in itself has no deli mite value The only thing known about Methuselah is that he lived longer than anybody else, while, on tEc other hand, many of the worlds greatest men have died young iD years. Even had the great Caesar escaped the assassin and lived de- cade longer, probably neither the world nor himself would have been any better off for it today
 The desire to add a few more years to ones life when this whole earthly existence is transitory, is . curious passion
 For really our lives are made up not of years, but of emotions. thoughts, deeds.
 Though we. cannot make oar years longer, We can make them fuller.
 We can find more advantage in the years We have, We can get more out of them and put more into them, and thus virtually extend them.
 We do indeed increase our years by prudently using them; and to have more for any other purpose would be to no advanage whatever.
 Making the sun stand still and thus lengtheninG the day was a miracle; ; and the days of miracles, they say. are past. But is it any less miracle to get more work into the days as they are, make the hours that we have mean more, and crowd more life into the time that is ours, and so get precisely the same results2
 The value of time depends entirely upon the use We make of it. And, when all is said We never know any time but now.
 Better to die at 40 havine done something to make the world a little brighter and better, than to live 10 50, every moment given to self.
 The span of life might be likened to a cheap vessel of clay, and the real lie to the gems that you put into it

they go over the plate. Cain seemed
to have very good control and both
Hardgrove and Mckee had the curves

at the bat, both seeming able to line
