The world went through five centu-

hundred and nineteen years ago, in
the creation of the constitution and

United States, we broke away from
feudalism, from church and state,
from primogeniture, land .en tail. titu-

The Senator's Model.

The model had sat, with the neces-
sary rests, for three hours in one po-
sition, the pose Of splendid senator
of Washington, elegant, aristocratic.
He had fine head. He was quite
noted for that. He had been model
for illustrations of many heroic fig
ures.
But the model with the fine head
wore about the rustiest suit of clothes
you ever saw. His shoes were down at
tie heel. His cuffs were frayed. His
collar stayed up with difficulty, it was
SO old.
When the three hours were up he
gave a sigh of relief, for posing is hard
work. There is no work harder The
srtist drew forth his wad and paid
rim. The model thanked him with a
grateful smile.
"He is down and out" said the ar
list when he was gone. 'He hadn't a
penny to get his lunch with"
And he looked at the picture he had
drawn of him as a splendid senator
of Washington with a complacent
smile of satisfaction with the fine dig
nifty Of it.

to inform me that the thing for me to do

was not expected to live very long.

r HAT the theory advocated by Dr.
Osler, the distinguished scientist
who, while a member of the faculty of
Johns Hopkins university, declared
that mans usefulness is at an end
after passing life sixtieth milestone, is
a theory that will not stand the test of
application to everyday life, is the
firm belief of cle vast majority of peo-
pie who have passed that age and con-
tinue to lead decidedly useful lives
and to take as keen an interest in af-
fairs as many younger members of
society. Not only this, but they give
the Osler theory a solar plexus punch
by achievements accomplished after
passing the allotted three-score years
and ten.
One of the most notable examples
that interest in life does not cG.xe at
the age of 60 is to be found in Mrs.
Annie e. Philpott, who, at the age of
95, is still a most cheerful and eff
ficient employe of the government
bureau of engraving and printing

Coming White House Season to Be Cav

for young people, followed by dance
Occasionally the parents had a few of
their friend; in to dinner, but the So
cial and official programs Of the pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt left little
time on their calendar for any affairs
that Miss Alice might have had in
mind. So the little clique of which
the presidents daughter was a men,
Der saw to it that her seasons pro-
gram was full.
However, this does not promise to
be the case when the younger daugh-
ter of the White House blooms out as
full fedged social flower. She will
have a brilliant ball-the fairy story
writer's have fixed this important
event for early in January, just after
the official season opens-and from
that time until the curtain rings
slowly down" on the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt his young
daughter will be the center of a bril-
liant whirl. Society even hopes that
her engagement will be announced be-
fore the close of her fathers term, al
though even the most daring social
gossips have not yet selected a life

take any chances on fate or African
lions, so James e. Fraser, Of New
York, who was commissioned to exc
cute it months ago, was ordered to
hurry up the heroic touches and sub
nit the design in plaster.
A few days ago he notified the
superintendent Of the capitol build
ing that it YVES ready to be worked
into marble, and the command for
him to go ahead was about to be is
sued, when word came from Oyster
Bay that not another stroke of work
was to be done until the president had
looked himself over and was pleased
with the glad smile he was to hand
down to posterity.
1t is impossible to learn whether Mr..
Fraser has nodded Mr.. Roosevelt as
the presiding officer of the ser tie, in
the uniform of rough rider, or in
tennis costume. 1t is understood that
the sculptor is chiefly concerned over
whether he has the proper number of
teeth showing and the presidential
glasses sitting at the correct angle.

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-saby's Head
Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then l had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old l started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign Of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,
LeSueur, Mimi, Apr. Is and May 2, '07."
