 Uncle Josh Perkins, the big rural play which is coming to Prescott on Monday February 22 is replete with smiles and thrills and is declared one of the most life-li dramatic offerings seen here in a long time, true to all the scenes it attempts to depict and with vivid types of charac- ters lifelike and natural in pre- sentatiOn. Uncle Josh," is voted a big success wherever seen. The four acts are equally divided be- tween New York City and Yer mont, the play centering about the efforts of a sharp New York attorney to marry Edith MarstOn an heireSs for her money. How his plot is foiled by Uncle Josh and the happy termination make a seeable play, which will doubt less attract a large audience to the GreesOn opera house. Splendid specialties will be presented dur ing the various acts of the drama.

men fail to measure up to the, stand
ard of their fathers. The reason gem
orally is that given by the late Simon
Cameron, for many years United
States enator from Pennsylvania and
resourceful leader of the National
Republican party. In his youth Mr..
Cameron was very poor and in the
true sense Of the word was a self-made
man. He became very rich, nd. at
master Of politics as he had already
become a captain of industry in the
days when captains of industry had
unqueStioned power. When he re-
tired from the Senate he was so DOW
erful that he could name his success
or, and he put in his own son, Don
Cameron, who had been educated in
the best colleges and universities in
this country and Europe, and who
who had had all the advantages which
money and position can give. But he
never was as big a man as his father.
and one day an old friend of Mr..
CamerOn's said to him., Your son Don
is not as big a man as you are, Mr..
Cameron"
You must make allowances for
DON" said his father, "he never had
the advantages l had"
This the gentleman, who
knew that Senator Cameron had had
no advantages Of education or wealth
in his youth. and he asked, What
do you mean?"
Il mean said he, Don never had
the advantage Of being poor"
The advantage of being poor is that
one must learn self-sacrifice, to be
down earning bread and but

to him. He hears it, but he is too
busy at work to go chasing around
the world" Let parents and teachers

another similar substance was throwa

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

The secret of longevity is as much
a mystery as ever. Men who take
care Of themselves. and follow the
regimes prescribed by health experts
will fill early graves while those who
follow their i~nclinatiOns l We to a ripe
old age. Constitutional inherited
strength or weakness for the
cases that we cannot understand.
The doctors prescribe exercise and
'early to bed and early to rise" and
undoubtedly they are right as to the
majority of men who follow cheir ad-
vice with wisdom When ex-Attoruey
General Evarts was over eighty years
of age and in the active practise, de-
ing more work and better work than
most men of forty, he was asked how
he had preserved his strength and re-
piled, Because / have never taken
any exercise. / have kept all my
strength for my serious work in life
and have not "squandered it in taking
exercise. Besides, l have always made
it a rule never to go to bed until mid
night and to sleep late Asked how
he preserved his strength, the aged
young Mark Twain said Because L
have read all the rules for living long
and violated every one of them" The
ldest membe Of the Senate. Mr.. Gull
lOm, Of illinois,, is over eighty, and
is active and alert. How did he
manag it? He says he never hunted
or fished, has never taken any exor-

when he is 'entirely well'-perhaps a
seven course dinner and a Whole mince
pie. Speaker Cannon is also a four
score statesman, and is young. frisky
and vigorous. He owes this chiefly
to the fact that he was born in North
longevity is attained. 1t is said that
his favOrite supper isshalf a lobster
and a quart and a half of milk. That
would kill a modern molly-coddle but
it doesn't phase your Uncle Joe.
Do you wish to live long? Read the
biographies of these old men and do
not try to follow their example, or
anybody else's example,. What gave
their four score years of usefulness
may put YOU in an early grave. Every
man must study himself and do tho
tnlngs that he finds makes for his
own health and strength. All the same
the 1act that these men who never
LOOK any exercise lasted so long while
sol1 players, baseball experts. hunters
ana 1lshernen filled early graves
raises the presumption whether this
eNe'eise prescription is not rdo
~ whether exercise is the best thing

STATE BOARD

Meet in the City of
Morgantown.

The State Board of Agriculture
will meet in Morgantown in January
of next year for the first time in the
boards history. This is undoubtedly
a step in the right direction. There
ought to be a very close relationship
between the West Virginia College OF
Agriculture and the State Board of
Agriculture and the meeting of the
board at Morgantown will have a
tendency to harmonize their work.
The college of agriculture and the
.Board<of Agriculture have a common
.purpose-the betterment of farming
conditions in the state and there is
work enough and glory enough" for
both in the undertaking. For the
board to meet at the University
while the winter course in agricul-
ture is being given will give the men,
bers a better knowledge of what Is
being done by the State University in
teaching real farmers.
