By Frances L. Garside.)

A tired little woman, whose hours Of
leisure were so rare that she always
read the newspaper propped up on the
Kitchen table while she chopped, par
ed, rolled and pounded, having read
of women who became great and fam
GUS by absorbing knowledge in that
way, rolled out her pie crust while she
read an article in a woman's magazine
headed BE Young With Your Chill
Gren"
The tired little woman sighed There
was so much work and worry in rails
ing children to make her old, and here
she was told that she must be young
with them!
ut is the God-given duty you owe
Them the article read, TO be inter-
ested in all they do; to make them
feel that you are one of them
The next evening the woman gave a
party to twelve girl and boy friends
of her year-old daughter, and
as she welcomed each guest it was
with the noble resolution to add to
their joy by being young.
When all the guests had arrived one
of the boys accused another boy of toe
ing in. There was a howl of laughter
from the boys, followed by giggles and
peals of laughter from the girls
Youthful HumOr.
The tired little woman didn't see
what there was in the remark to cause
such hilarity, but she remembered her
noble resolution and laughed loud
and long
But the children didn't hear he;
they were so absorbed in themselves
and each other they didn't notice that
their hostess's mother was being
young with them. They clapped each
other on the back, with Jaw, Jane
and Jaw Bill and laughed over and
over again at that brilliant remark
earlier in the evening about the boy
who 'toed in"
The mother wandered like a disem-
bodied spirit through the rooms, care
lessly rearranging the photographs
books and knick-knacks she had
brought out with the hope Of entertain
ing the children, stopping occasionally
to speak to one of the guests.
But no one heard what she said; no
one saw her; the children laughed and
screamed and giggled and roared;
their shrill voices and loud laughter
drowned every attempt the tired little
woman made to be young with them
and when she said, remembering her
noble resolution, Lets tell conun-
drums" and no one needed she
sneaked out to the kitchen to read
again the advice to mothers.

!
After years of study and experiment.
ing the scientist had succeeded in find
ing an elixir of life. He tried it first
upon an old, broken-down hack horse
"a horse that had seen many years of
hard service.
If 1 can cause this poor old horse
to become a colt again" said the sci
enlist, q shall feel thatI have sue
ceeded"
So he squirted a quantity of the
elixir into the old horse, and at once
the animals ribs began to disappear.
Presently the horse raised his head
and shifted, then kicked up his
heels, and moment later he was gal
Looping up and down the alley in which
the experiment had been made. An
hour after the first dose of the elixir
had been injected the old horse be
came colt again He had the APP
pearance of a -year-old, he acted
like a two-year-oId, in reality he was
a two-year-old.
But the scientist was not satisfied.
My elixir may be all right for the
restoration of the youth of horse,
he said, but I must carry on further
experiments before l shall feel that
may safely inject it into man.
So he tried it on an old dog, and the
dog became a pup; he hunted up an
old COW, and after she had been treat
ed to dose of the elixir she became
a frisky heifer, and, finally, an old hen
that had seen much service was oper-
ated on, with the result that she at
once became an attractive pullet.
Now" said the scientist, 81 feel rea-
sonably sure that I have found the
secret of eternal youth. l shall hest
tate no longer. I am going to put Old
age out Of business"
SO he found an old man who was
willing, after he had been told of the
things that had happened to the horse

WHY ELIXIR OF LIFE
WAS DESTROYED

and the dog and the COW and the hen
to become the repository of guam
tity of the elixir and in a little while
the wattles under his chin began tC
disappear, the hair began to sprout
upon his Uranium, the glow of youth
returned to his cheeks, his shoulders
Strengthened, new teeth pushed their
way through his gums, and presently
he was exhibiting a deisre to go out
and help to haze somebody.
There could be no further doubt con-
corning the potency of the elixir Il
was all the scientist had ever hoped
it might be, and, filled with triumph he
rushed to the manager of a musical
comedy company for the purpose to re-
store the youth of all his chorus girls.
The manager listened patiently, and
when he had become convinced that
the scientist could do what he pro-
posed to do a great fear came upon
him
He invited the man of science into
his private office, and when the door
had been locked he asked:
Have you shown your formula to
anybody
No." replied the scientist, 81 hold
the secret-absolutely."
Thank heaven Could you remem-
Der it if you were to lose it?"
I'm afraid not-in fact, I am sure
could not. That reminds me. 1 must
make a copy of it and bury it some
where, SO that if I should lose the
original I could still
"Wait! How much will you take for
the formula and for all the elixir that
you have made?"
The scientist named an extravagant
sum, but the manager at once agreed
to pay it. After he had destroyed the
elixir and torn up the formula, he
drew a long breath of relief and said:
Thank heaven! We shall still De
able to keep the front seats filled"
