To an Old Man.

Dan Patch has run his last race. The famous race horse, worth $50,000 any day during the last few years was scheduled to run in race at Milwaukee recently but was pulled off because of lameness.
 Both hind legs are in bad shape and the trainers think the lameness is perma- nent. And so the great :55 horse is now scheduled for retirement at Savages farm. near Minneapolis. \ Well. every horse has his day. and every man.
 There was time when you were on the track, old man. and you were able to go some Perhaps you didn't make the time your trainers expected but you ran every heat the best you could, didn't you. old man?
 Now. like Dan Patch. you are out of the running.
 You are crippled up a little in your pastern joints, somewhat spavined and a little strnghalted, and maybe just little bit lame also in your head but not much there
 So you have been pulled off the track.
 Old man, you remember mighty well, don't you, when you could shuck as many bushels of corn from sun to sun as any man in the township? How your blood tingled those frosty mornings long agol
 And you were pretty good at run ming jump in those days.
 Nor do you forget what fun it was at the noon recess in the old school house yard to soak some fellow at 'bull pen"
 And town balll" Say, this new-fangled baseball, when it comes to all round playing, isn't a circumstance to town ball
 And as for spelling school and shuck ing bees and bobsled rides and kissing plays-shucks, the younug people now adays have no such times as you had, old man, No, siree,
 Remember when Art Jones thought he could 'cut you out of keeping company with Mary? You showed him a thing or two Yes, Mary made you a mighty good wife, peace to her memory
 And when the children began to come and you were in business for yourself and for Mary and the lSids-you made record time in those days.
 Maybe you interfered little occasional ly and the surcingle was pretty tight but you took the bit in your teeth, stuck out your nose and stayed on foot the full quarter stretch.
 Some go in you yet? Surely. You are spry for your years. But how is your wind, grandpa?
 No; you are out of It. Like Dan Patch, you are only fit for the barn and the pasture. They will take good care of the old horse for what he has done. May those you have served, respected sir, be as kind to you

Perfect Old Ace.
le New York Telegraph.

From the New York Telegraph.
 An Illinois nonogenarian, who proposes to live to be at least 100 has framed up this platform for the benefit of the B. c. Harts of this generation. and I deem 1t worthy of being passed along:
 Don't worry.
 Be moral.
 Don't be temperance crank.
 Use tobacco, smoke cigars or a pipe, and chew the weed
 Don't work too hard
 Don't swear; that leads to other evils. Take exercise a-plenty.
 Be good-natured. not a 'grouch" j."
 All looks good except the plank relating to swearing. An eminent man of science (whose name I have forgotten) said the other day that explosives afforded salu- tary vent for evil passions which might otherwise corrode the system and put the nervous system on the fritz-or words to that effect.

am candid. Now. if you don't want to sell, we'll make you an offer to work the mineral on a royalty basis and put up a mill It will be worth at least s50.000 a year to you-maybe more. I'm sure it will be more. Here's our royalty con- tract-its the regular percentage and will make you rich. What do you say?"
 The returned miner looked up at his wife with kindling light in the worn eyes, and then held out his emaciated hand to Bud, his loyal young partner. who had suffered with him.
 "I say this farn-the whole 320-be- longs to Nellie, my wife. and to Bud. my partner he remarked gravely. T hereby make 'em formal presentation and will sign the deeds when they're drawn. You will have to dicker with them, but your offer looks good enough to me, and if they want my advice I'd say take 1t, just the mineral, you understand; not the sun light; that's ours"
 The light suddenly went out of the half-closed eyes and he reached for Nell lies hand like a weary child
 ITO think me and Bud travelled 2000 miles hunting the Devils Coffin,'" he murmured, "and at last come home and found 1t in our own back yard.'

BEFORE HE FINALLY WINS
From the New York Telegraph.

From the New York Telegraph.
 Dame Nature never yet created a be- ing without hiding somewhere about him an uncanny streak. Sometimes 1t takes dynamite or a cyclone to dis cover it; at other times summer breeze will lift 1t into the light Dave Lethcoe, a man who had fought his way along the desert trail to the coast in the early f1fties, toiled in the Cali fornia gulches for six long, unrewarded years for gold, came back to the Mis- souri hills, married a rosy-cheeked girl and settled down to raise corn and abbages-a contented man. His 160 acres of hill and lowland was safer proposition than a western gold mine. and the two little girls that came to him made him richer than pirate chief Dave, strapping six-footer, sang as he worked in forest and field. for getful of the lean and bitter years in the red gulches. At night Nellie and the children focked about him and drove dull care away. Dave was a good farmer. He knew how to get the full out of every acre he had, and was arranging to increase the size of his domain so as to go more extensively into the stock business.
 Then he had dream.
 Dave told his wife about 1t at the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-08

heads. They cataloged Dave among the long list of gold demented and went on about their work.
 Daves industrious partner kept steadily at his labor, now and then banning out few gold pebbles, which were exchanged for provisions and served to keep hem alive.
 The irregularly arriving mail brought letters from Nellie, giving the news of the neighborhood and of the farm. She hid whatever troubles she might have had, said nothing about the faithless tenant who robbed her, and told Dave that she and the children were eagerly expecting him home when he should be through with his work in the west But she never upbraided him for leaving her nor told of her lonely life on the farm. In one of her letters, written about year after Dave had started in quest of his dream for tune, Nellie wrote that they were build ing a railroad through Prairie Hill and that the price of land was advancing.
 At last Dave gave up. He had gone over the whole country and could not find a single feature corresponding to hls dream He and Bud were on the ragged edge of starvation, and something had to be done. Dave's partner suggested a camp some 50 miles down the valley, and Dave said "All right. He had ceased to take any active interest in the expe- dition, and Bud assumed the leadership. At the new camp all the promising claims were taken, and they had to take en- ployment as laborers by the day. Both made good hands while at work, but at night Dave would sit stolidly by himself, just outside the cabin, his face longingly toward the east. He never spoke of home or showed interest in any subject His partner became alarmed and one night he brought the camp medicine man out to see Dave. The physician tried to converse with him, but made little head way. He examined Dave's pulse, took his temperature and made such other in vestigations as the miner would permit
 s'I don't think there's much the matter with the man." he said aside to Bud, sonly he's crazy to get back home and don't know 1t. If he stays here much longer he'll end up in the asylum. There are lots of cases like his out here."
 When the doctor left Bud went over to Dave and shook him.
 "Davy," he said, let's pack up and 80 home.'
 Dave looked up stupidly at the young
  the meekness of a child, entered the cabin and began putting his things in his big chest.
 I'm telling you that you sign no rights to anything except what's under the sur face and that you can have no possible us for. It's like finding S25 an acre."
 "But my husband said l was not to sell any of the land"
 He meant the surface. He had no thought or use for what's underneath. If he were here he'd sign the paper mighty quick But maybe you don't need any moneyT'
 Don't need 1t? Oh, my God!''
 "Then sign the paper and you shall have the money today. Come!'
 Nellie was sitting at the table in her almost bare parlor. Her two little girls nearly barefooted and thinly clad, were standing by. A well dressed gentleman was pointing to document lying upon the table. He was one of the leading officials of the new road through Prairie Hill Nellie picked up the pen. The dogs in the front yard began barking and the

 with him, but the more she pleaded the flrmer became his faith in the Monte Cristo mine awaiting him in the land be- yond the Rockies.
 q can't help 1t, girlie.' he said, draw ing her to him. Its in the blood, reckon. If another man was to come along and find al lthat gold I couldnt t stand it-I know I couldn't"
 So she went ahead arranging for the long journey to Dreamland. Dave sold off most of the stock and bought the 160 acres adjoining, explain ag to Nellie that would be better for h would lease it to a farmer, who would pay his rent by helping do the work about the place and looking after things
 Don't you ever sell foot of it, Nell' said Dave, 9"unless you just have to-. , Lands going to be high in this county before long"
 Nellie filled the big white-winged schooner with everything, wifely solici- tude could suggest. Dave induced a young man of the neighborhood, Bud Staples by name, to go with him, promis- ing good share of the profits the enter prise would bring; kissed Nellie and the children and started his oxen on their trek toward the setting sun.
 
 Every one of the long 2000 miles across desert and mountain exacted it's toll of endurance. At times the argo- nauts thought they were doomed to dIe of thirst when the water ran out Once or twice they narrowly escaped the In dians, and robbers relieved them of their money and watches. But they found the place at last, and Dave be- gan eagerly hunting the dark rock shaped like a coffin. It wasn't where his dreams pictured 1t, but he was confident it was whereabouts some where. He taught his partner how to pan, while he devoted his entire time to searching for the dark rock high up on the bluff. Sometimes he would wander so far away from the camp that he couldn't get back that day, and would drop down to sleep wherever he might be. Day by day he pursued his search, extending the radius further and further, but never getting any closer to the landmarks. Tn ere were but few miners in the district because it had the reputation of being played out, and miners don't stay long in a place when hope Is dead. But now and then he would meet one or two men working away in a desultory fashion, and would cautiously inquire of their knowledge concerning long, dark rock high up on the bluff. He was careful to never mention the name of the rock, lest he might arouse suspicion. The miners interrogated would prick up heir ears with sudden interest, con slider thoughtfully and shake their
