WITH RAPID FLIGHT
FATHER TIME KEEPS STEADILY
ON HIS WAY.
Too Slowly In Youth and Too Swift.
Iy az Age Approaches, the Years
Pass Onward Until tho
Appointed End.

"The eagle and the condor can GER
tainly fly some, but" said the man
with frost in his hair, 'they don't be-
gin to be in 1t with steady going time.
"You see, the eagle and the condor
have to rest once in a while, while
time keeps a-plugging right along
there's something uncanny about the
flight Of time.
"And not only does 1t keep going
80, but as we grow older 1t seems all
the time to be speeding up; going fast
er and faster. You know how when
we were young the days seemed long
and the seasons interminable and the
years without end? While now the
mornings come and go and the weeks
fly by and the years we count with
little halt between, they go so fast;
and what with my increasing years
and the seeming quicker fight of time
as we grow older I find myself now,
for the first time in my life, In sight
Of the end; and this is new and
serious awakening and an impressive
sensation.
"You see, when we are young, still
on the upward slope Of life, not yet
to the top Of the hill, the whole world
seems to US yet to come and we ad-
vance to greet 1t joyfully, and then
when at middle life we get to the top
Of the hill 1t spreads out all around
US, and Of the end we never think;
but as we go down the other slope
there comes, as find there has come
gently to me now, a time when we
realize that our prospect is gradually
but surely narrowing.
ITO be sure we give ourselves every
year we can; we are going to be long
lived; not cut of at 10 or 80 or 80,
we are going to live to be hundred
anyway, as we do not doubt; but even
so we have passed the summit we
have lived the greater number Of our
years, and we are drawing now on the
steadily diminishing remainder; and
when that idea once strikes you
squarely so that you take 1t in 1t gives
you something to think about.
"But not to worry over, not the
least little bit. You still have your
work to do, haven't you? Why, sure.
and you find in 1t and in every breath
you draw a greater Joy than ever. Life
is mellower and ripper and fuller Of
happiness. You don't waste time wor-
rying over trifing things. You come
to have wings Of your own now too, on
which you mount to take a wider sur
vey, to see with o clearer vision, and
you come back to your own corner
with a contentment you never had be-
fore, a kinder charity.
life 10 pleasant on this slope. very
pleasant; but I do wish I could invent
some sort of brake to check the flight
of time. Talk about eagles and con-
dors! They are not in It for flying

GEORGE OFT DEAD

George OFT, son Of Mr.. and Mrs,
Samuel OFT, Of Dodge City. died in q

iuries received by jumping from the
third story window Of a burning
hotel. Four others met death at the
same time in the same way. George
had been in Colorado the past three
years, partly on account Of his health
and was collecting for firm in Den
YER. He roomed in the Belmont
hotel. About 4 o'clock Tuesday
morning a fire broke out in the
hotel, and good part Of the build.
ing was in flames before the guests
were awakened. George Otis room
was on the third floor. The side Of
the room by which the hall was
reached was burning, and the only
way Of escape was by way of the
window. Along that side Of tho
building others were jumping from
the windows, and in the first moment
Of terror George decided to make
the leap. A young man who
roomed with him thought the best
chance was to wait for the fire com.
pany's ladders. and he tried to hold
on to George. but he broke away and
jumped from the window. After
this his room mate crawled along a
ledge in front Of tho window to an
other room and prevented a woman
from jumping. A few seconds later
a ladder was raised and the woman
taken safely down. In the awful tor
ror Of the moment many jumped
from the windows. A few were un-
injured, and others escaped with
only broken limbs.
George OFT was taken at once to a
hospital, where he died a little later.
A message was sent to his family
here, and his brother Aaron OFT,
left on No. s Tuesday night to bring
the body home for burial.
The remains arrived in Dodge City
this morning, and the arrangements
Tor the funeral have been made for
tomorrow, Friday afternoon, at 2:30
o'clock. The services will be held
rom the Methodist church, and will

thrown on top of the cabinet at the

impression of my palm. He Iifted the
lid on which the tablet was resting,
took out some vaseline, which he put
on my palm, then laid my hand on

work, and that / could quickly make

to his double life by saying that Deane

told me that of course he did not in
