out; who neither looks up TO the rich
nor down to the poor; who can lose
without squealing and who can win
without Dragging; who il considerate of
women, children and old people; who is
| too brave to lie, too generous to cheat,
and who takes his share of the world
ard let's other people have theirs.
The years growing ashen, and weary
and gray; full soon he will cash in, and
mosey away. A while yet he'll totter
along to his grave; he's marked for the
slaughter, and nothing can save. The
year that is leaving seems weighted
with woe; and Nature is grieving be-
cause he must go. The forests are
signing end moaning all day; the nights
are crying, upon their sad way; the
gray clouds are taking threatening
shape; the dead grass is shaking like
pillows of Grape. Dame Nature is ten
der, and dirges she'll Groom, regretting
the splendor and glory of June; she
knows that tomorrow the old year will
sleep; she knows that the sorrow of
parting is deep. In this world, Onever
can friends with US stay. Some loved
one forever is going away. And that
is the story of people and years; a
morning of glory, an evening of tears;
an hour of caressing, call at the dawn,
a prayer and blessing, and then they
are gone.
Few things in this life are more
worthy of desire snan beautiful old
age. We are apt to lay much of en-
phasis on the sunniness of youth and
the sturdiness of middle life, but very
often fail kindly to feel towards ad-
vanced years. When the grey has come
to be the dominant color in the hair,
and the furrowed brow and cheek re-
fuse to be smoothed, we look at our
rnirrored selves and with a sigh con-
Tess that we are growing old. We for
get that age is not determined by
things external, that silvery hair and
furrowed cheeks do but mark the pas
sing of the years and not the passing of
the spirit of youth; we forget that hope
springs eternal in the human breast and
that beauty, sweetness and strength
rock not of birthdays passed or Of those
to come. We shall ever be as young
as we will to be and life will never lose
its interest for us 80 long as we main
tain an interest in it.
Observer numbers among his ac-
uuaintances those who would fam stop
the years in their course and postpone
indefinitely the approach of three score
years and ten, but he also knows not
few who are growing old beautifully
These latter are realizing that the plea
sures of youth and middle age are the
possession also of those who are ap
preaching the fullness of years, and
that newer pleasures and sweeter like
wise are theirs, A goodly land it is
where the folks of ripe experience so
iourn, peace and serenity reign therein,
and though in earlier years the life was
buffeted and tempest tossed the feet
now have turned into the pathway that
leads beside the still waters. Of all
the pictures that lang in life's gallery
those of memory are by far the most
beautiful and their exquisite coloring, is
most perfect revealed when touched by
the rays of the setting sun. s1as4s,s.

HOUSEHOLD JOTTINGS.

Never put thin glassware into hot
water bottom first. as 1t is apt to
crack from sudden expansion. Slip
it in edgewise.
Do not wash colored clothes In the
same water with all white ones This
especially holds good if one happens
to have table linen with colored Dor
ders.
Have you ever tried adding tea
spoonful of paraffin to every gallon of
water when boiling white clothes? 1t
Is said to be excellent for removing
stains.
Remember. good tools make rapid
work. If you do not own a good
knife sharpener which you can use
to improve your steel blades, not ruin
them, as is the usual amateur sharp
ener's method. make arrangements for
your knives to be sharpened by pro-
fessiona every two weeks.
DishclothS cannot be kept clean
without daily boiling. They should
not only be washed out thoroughly
after each meal and hung in the sun
to dry, but once day, or without fail
every other day, should be boiled in
