Old age, like time, wears
off the gilt, and like the gild-
ed furniture of ancient date,
people also, become tarnish-
ed. At first the whole future
is overlaid with gold. How
brilliant it is! AS the boys
and girls grow up the gilt and
glitter grow dim, until at last,
with the journey done, we
stand, the present laid bare
before us-no gold there
the trappings of the hoped-to
be, musty and forgotten, the
brilliancy of attainment dim
med and corroded. And only
this is left to us, that fa1
away in the past, the golden
glow still hangs over the days
of long ago, and for some Of
us far in the future, a gold
en- mist hangs just beyond the
sunset, where piling clouds
form gates of pearl.

Mark the young man who
is coarse and disrespectful to
his mother. No rOseate
pathway can be hers who
shall sustain to him the rela-
tlon of wife. Not the hap
piest will be the lot of those
who shall come to be his
children. Not to be envied
is the neighborhood, even, in
which he must be reckOned
as q citizen. It does not
matter what the mental
status of that mother is, how
old, how bent, how decrepit,
the man to whom she is
mother owes to her gentle
ness, kindness, tenderness
and consideration. Did she
fall back and did the children
with superior advantages pass
her in the race? But Think of
her toll and trials, her devo-
ton and denial, her MUD and
her years that she gave, that
her children might derive the
benefit. Think Of her sacri-
fice-no wonder if she fell be-
hind, with her heart in her
home, in the buds that were
hers. There is no rank, no
station, no condition that
may exempt a manly man
from a kind regard for a
mother.

day was packing up day in the Taft
camp. The candidate received only
one caller. Colonel S. b. Allen of
Virginia. and after his golf game in
the morning gave up the rest of the
day to preparations for his departure
tomorrow night.
Colonel Allen brought over some
news from the Virginia district that
was highly interesting. The impress
sion that Taft made by his address
last Friday to the visiting delegations
has so stirred up the Democratic
leaders of the state that they are
planning a counter demonstration to
be held at Goshen, and Il strong effort
will be made to induce Mr. Bryan to
play star part.
