Perpetual Youth,

Whats the use of growing oldf Not the slightest bit. At threescore a man need not Fold his arms and quit. That's what the professor says. Calm your doubts and fears, You can just be starting in
 At one hundred years. It is easy, so they say
 Who have never tried. Only need to have the rules
 Thoroughly applied. Just like falling off a log Backward, they allow. But they always die before
 They have shown us how. Once in every little while
 Some one comes along Who can beat the dying game Or his guess is wrong. He can tell you what to do
 So you'll last and thrive For a century or two
 And still be alive. Whats the use of dying young, Dropping off for keeps, At the age of ninety-two?
 Hear them sigh, He sleeps" You can spend some fifty more Years of pleasant ease. As the tall Missourian says, Show us, if you please.

C., a personal representative of the for estry department. did much to smooth out affairs, but late in the a afternoOn Smith rnoved the adontiOn of the report of the general commit tee. Attorney Kepner of Reno. in seconding the motion. warned the audience that the tendency of the government for forty years has been to eneroach upon the rights of the individual citizen
 Judge Richards pleaded earnestly for the voting down of the motion. after having surrendered his right to welcome the Los Angeles delega- tion, which arrived today. If you now adopt the report" said Judge Richards. you stultify your own ac- tiOn in that resolution. You will do more than that. You will do ire parable injury to the cause for which we are striving-harmony with the government"
 The session closed with an ad- dress by J. Ross Clark. president of Pedro railway, on the progress of development. Tomorrow. after the report of the resolutions committee. the convention will come to an end. -
