HARD WORK TO RETAIN YOUTH

his step elastic, and his voice strong.
WHAT'S the secret? 1t has been an in
flexible habit with him from early
youth to retire at eight o'clock in the
evening and sleep until seven in the
morning. On rising he takes a cold
path, but many men do that. Oh,
thaIS all easy, you say? It's not SO
easy, after all. Try it and stick to it,

such evidence concerning a chipping
sparrow at Lakewood, N. j., says the
Youths Companion. A few years ago
he heard little bird concealed in the
top of maple uttering peculiar
song which he could not recognize.
The next season he heard the same
peculiar song in a tree but a few
yards from the original point. This
time he identified the bird, which
seemed to have learned a song of its
own. The third year he did not visit
Lakewood at the proper season to
meet his little friend, but the fourth
year he heard and saw it again near
the same spot. 1t appeared always to

Mukden, the chief city of central
Manchuria and the old capital Of the
Chinese empire, is a characteristic
Tartar-Chinese city Of about 100000
Inhabitants. Its glory has largely de-
parted. There are some reports, how
ever, that it is the intention of the
Chinese government to try to restore
something of it's lost Importance. 1t
is the headquarters of a viceroy. The
temples, tombs, gateways and other
buildings, all venerable with age. at

almost entirely in the future. There
are hardly any foreigners in the

ARCHBOLD'S STATEMENT.
His Letters to General EIkin Referred
to Contributions to State Committee.

New York, Oct. 27.-John d. Arch
bold of the Standard Oil company made
the following statement regarding the
letters read by William r. Hearst at
the Carnegie hall meeting Saturday
night:
Il am very sure that until Hearst
read the letters neither Judge Morri-
son nor Judge Henderson had any
knowledge of my having written Gov
ernor Stone in their behalf. Judge
Henderson was not appointed by Gov
ernor Stone to the supreme court, but
was three years later appointed by
Governor Pennypacker to superior
court judgeship. IT, however, any
Feeble word OF mine could have in
fuenced in the slightest degree the
selection of these gentlemen for their
respective positions, ! would be very
proud of it. Their state has had no
better servants than they, and GER
tainly have never asked of them any
favor of any kind, either for myself or
for the company with which am con.
nected.
"My letters to General Elkin refer
ring TO accompanying drafts related
entirely to contributions to the Repub-
lican state committee, then engaged in
the campaign preliminary to the re-
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley, a subject
regarding which | think Hearst would
be little sensitive, for was it not the
election and tragic death of Mr.. Nc
Kinley that came near costing Hearst
his precious neck?
THE statement regarding Judge
Haight Is in connection with an old
libel that has been explained and ex-
ploded so many times that it would be
a simple WEAKNESS to the public to go
over it again.
"The intimation by Hearst that he
has had any communication from me
or from any of my associates in con-
nection with the stolen letters is lie.
"The only favor which | would ask
or hope ever to ask of Hearst is that
he return me the letters handed him
by his larcenious gentleman friend
which were written from Japan re-
lating to the fatal illness of my daugh-
ter in that country"
