IMPORTANCE OF BEING FORTY.
Middle Age Said to Be the Right
Time for Marriage.

At present, though a man is too old
for many things at forty, it is not gen.
orally held that he is too old to marry.
Far from that being the case, tile in.
creasing standard of comfort OF the
white races and the increased cost of
living are steadily putting forward the
marrying age.
A paper read by DR.. Louise Robino-
witch at the congress of psyChiatry at
Amsterdam suggests another reason
for comparatively late marriages.
From study of "A biographies of emf
nent men, writer's, painters, musicians
and soldiers, she found that more than
80 per cent. of them were born of
middle-aged parents. Napoleon, Ben
iamin Franklin, Coleridge, Balzac,
Rembrandt, Rubens, Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds, Wagner, Schumann and Schu-
bert were all the youngest children of
large families, and their parents were
at least middle-aged when the genius
of the family was born.
This may not be a precise argument
in favor of late marriages, but it may
encourage the hope in bachelors who
have reached middle age without do
ing anything famous themselves that
matrimony may recompense them for
their own failure.

A VETERANS STORY.
Recalls Civil War Disaster When 4so
Perished in Burning Troop Ship.

"Only two of us are now living who
made our escape from the fiery flames
of the General Lyon, when 4S0 souls
were hushed by the hand of death on
March 81, 1865, and both reside in Illi'
nois," said Michael S. Brockett, old
soldier and farmer of Enfield, ILL.,, as
he retold the narrowing incidents Of
the disaster that came as a capsheaf
of cruelty to the last days of the civil
war and was surpassed in horror only
by the burning of the Sultana on the
Mississippi in which 700 sick and
wounded soldiers perished.
THE memory of that fatal Friday
morning will never leave me-" said
Brockett, as he began the story, "and
yet it seems fresh and as vivid as
though it occurred but yesterday. 1t
seems that I can see the blaze as it
carries destruction in its path; hear
the agonizing shrieks of the doomed
and see hope vanish with the network
of flames driving death in a hideous
form to hundreds on board the ill
starred ship.
ut was about ten o'clock Friday
morning, March 81, that fire broke out.
A barrel of kerosene oil in the porter's
room was broken by the rough sea,
and the contents soaked down on the
two lower decks, saturating them. The
sea was rough and when the stream of
oil struck the furnace the flames
quickly spread over the entire vessel.
Within half an hour the whole ship
was a burning mass.
The sea was rolling mountain high
and scene of the greatest excitement
and confusion ensued Immediately

Miss Sarah Fooks, her guest from Bal

For when she said them she was
telephoning from her room in the sec

who had entered via the porch think
ing that the family was at dinner heard
her and fled without getting Miss
FoOks' jewels, which were on the
dresser in her room.
What she said was enough to fright
en- anyone under similar circumstan

"Oh, bring him over right away,

now. What? Well, I don't care if it
will muss things up. am going to get
rid of them. What's that? don't

couple of them. We can wash the

But what she meant was perfectly
harmless. She was telephoning a
friend of hers who has a cat that is

friend to bring the cat over to catch
some rodents that she thought were in
her room. She had heard them guaw'

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in Days BY Cuticura.

"One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands We're not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard Of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. BY
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass Of this itch
ing disease. I purchased box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night 1 took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

HE MADE SOME MONEY.
How Champ Clark Earned Enough to
Leave Kansas Town.

Few people know that Champ Clark,
the celebrated congressman from Mis-
souri,, and also known as a lecturer,
once practiced law, or tried to do so,
in Wichita, Kan. But he did, accord
ing to a Wichita letter in the Topeka
Capital. In 1876 Champ Clark opened
an office where the Pacific Express
company now is located. There was
not a great deal of business for young
attorneys at that time, and Champ
Clark did the best he could to make
a living, but he became discouraged,
and, in time, left the state and re-
turned to Missouri, where he was
afterward elected to congress. He
met Kos Harris on the street one
day and told him that he intended to
stay in Wichita until he had made
some money, no matter how much or
how it was made. Several days later
he was seen on the streets and he had
a beautiful bronze on his hands and
face 1t was the dark brown color

Where did you get that eolor?''
asked one of his friends.
Il got it from cutting corn up in the
country" was the reply.

friend, who looked at the then at
teuuated form of the since tieshy and
prominent lecturer.

Within half an hour the vessel was

Many who had gotten safely into boats
