AGE NO BAR TO SUCCESS.

A man Is older than hs feels IS a saying that
finds ample exempliheation In the case OF James
FRANKLIN Hyde, the youthful. ninety-six-year-eld
city Treasurer OF Lincoln. I'LL. Although he has
Ions since passed the age when it Is said that
ones future is behind him, he has shown that
when IL comes To a mere matter OF running fer
office he Is up 10 date as any OF the youngsters
OF later and supposedly smarter generation
When two years ago he was defeated for fourth
for the office OF City Treasurer he said moth
ing but quietly thought cut his plan OF campaign
when tho opportunity came To him for another
chance.
Securing the nomination OF the Citizens party
he contracted for advertising space In the daily
papers OF both parties and ran series of dis
played advertisements calling attention to his SUI
perior qualifications for the Office He enlarged on
the neatness and accuracy Of his books, fact
which has attracted the attention OF other record
keepers all over ths state The fact that he was
not liable to errors as was his younger and less
experienced opponent was pointed out When the
votes counted IL found he was the oHly
successful candidate the ticket.
Mr.. HYDE has always disdained giving formula
for longevity. except the admonition to create
habit OF working Regularly. While in the City
Treasurer's office his time well applied that
periods for spare mon ent work were plentiful
With the exact condition Of every city fund at his
fingers and tongues end he considered his duty
to the municipality fulfilled. and the remainder OF
his time he employed In keeping the books OF a
dozen more small firms which could not employ
Individual hookkeepers.-Spare Moments.
