Seven years ago, when France made
up it's list of immortals, Napoleon, the
greatest of butchers, headed the list
but last year it made another roll OF Its
noble men, and Pasteur, the savior OF
human life, stood first. There is an
other book which has the list of God
immortals, and above that list 1t Is
written, "They that be wise shall shine
as the armament and they that turf
many to righteousness as the stars
forever and ever."-Homiletic Review

automatically. that If they would call
on Casey. who kept the leading sa-
loon in the village. they might get
good donation. They called. Casey
met them genially. listened to what
they had to say and promptly sub
scribed $500. This was SO much more
than the solicitors had hoped for that
they were much Mustered, and could
do nothing but stammer their thanks.
Finally one of them rounded to and
said: why. Mr.. Casey. this Is most
generous of you. It will allow us TO
get what we want very much-a nne
stained glass window"
Casey thought that would be- the
right thing to do.
"And, Mr.. Casey" said the spokes-
woman, "in view of this magnificent
donation. isn't there something you
would like to put on the window. SEN
timent or some remembrance. or
something Of the kind?"

LEGS GROW SHORTER WITH AGE.
Fact Taken Note Of by obssrvant
Tailor In Baltimore.

As a man grows older his legs grow
shorter. This il . physiological fact.
and Baltimore il the seat q Its dis
covery. 1t all came out accidentally
when q man walked into Baltimore
street clothing store and called for q
pair of trousers. 30 length. He tried
them on. They dropped on his SHOES
in a baggy fold.
They're not 32!" he exclaimed.
"Yup," insisted the man. as he came
up with q tape measure; but" run
ming the measure quickly over the In
side seam line, you're not 81 your

I'm not 81! Why, you're OF! I've
been 80 for the last six years..
'Jesso," said the man. And now
you're s1h: You've lost half an inch
leg length"
The customer surveyed the mans
face with q 'Quit-yOur-kiddin'- me" ex-
preston.
Honestly" said the man, Its a
fact that as man grows older MS
legs grow shorter. Ask any tailor In
town, and he'll tell you the same
thing"
A veteran tailor-a man who has
measured mems legs for years and
years-was hunted up.
Its q fact" he said. Il don't know
Just how to account for 1t, but 1t Is
physical fact that q mans legs grow
shorter every year he lives. If he Is an

am not old, not 40 even, but l know
my inside seam measurement Is three
quarters of an inch shorter than II

part of his legs. and our measure
ment from the fork of the trousers
down has to be reduced accordingly
the growing fat absorbing considerable
of the actual length. And just as the
leg length is reduced, the length ovel
the abdomen and hips is increased, be
cause 1t takes that much more goods
