DEFY THE FLEErINe YEARS
Ancient English Peer and Others Dis
prove the Absurd "Too Old at
40' Theory.

The advocates of the too old at
their own way lately. In fact, old age
has developed an unexpected capacity
{ for selfdefense. and that not by words
'-on which youth is too apt to rely
but by deeds. We have the case Of
Sir John Bigham, now In his seven
tisth year, who is showing his col
leagues in the law courts that the
only way to reduce arrears is by
working on them. the London Express
says. Lord Halsbury. again, does
marvellous things at S3; while, to
crown all. Lord Wemyss recently cele-
brated his ninety-hrst birthday, after
68 years Of more or less strenuous
parliamentary life, by taking a walk
on Hampstead heath.
The three instances we have quoted
are all Of hard-working men. whose
energy, although great, has been con-
centrated. They have not dissipated
their time in multitude of interests.
nor have their energies been expended
In violent exercises, whether physical
or mental. Probably they all feel as
young to-day as many "under-forties.'
AS matter of fact, of course, a mere
counting of years is no guide at all to
mans real age. What he will be
like at, say, seventy, depends entirely
upon how he has spent his life until
then. The best sign posts on the road
are moderation-not only in drink, but
in all things-a healthy mind and
settled interest in life. Armed with
these and good constitution, there
are few who might not be as young at
81 as is Lord Wemyss.

held Monday after chapel. Eleven
students were present and the plans
for the organization were discussed.
Three Freshmen have made their
intentions known of trying for the
team. Enrol Gilkey, of Grants Pass,
who for the past two years has been
one of the best debaters of the state
inter-high schools debates, is in the
university this year. This morning
he said that he would try out for
the team. w. w. H. Clark and A..
N. Jones are two other Freshmen
that are going after the team hon
ors.
Many of the best debaters did not
attend this mornings meeting but
they will be in the race when the
time comes for the try outs.
