cording to some noted men who are
strong for that figure and expect to
come at least within sight of it. These
expressions came from the statement
of Vice President Stubbs Of the South
retire at 65 if he expects to live.

loom big in the affairs Of the city,
nation ana world who have left the 90
mile post far in the rear and show no
signs of either retirement or failure
of power. j. Pierpont Morgan and
John D. Rockefeller are two notable

men in high finance. is Ga. Thomas
r. Mcneil. the famous restaurant man,
has Just retired from active business
at 80, and fully expects to enjoy at
least eleven years of leisure; Aaron
Bancroft is still active in the stock
market and is young at 81. Thomas a.
Edison LAUGHS at the idea of man
going stale at 60. He looks for long
period OF activity before he settles
down TO rest.
The ilustrious "Mike" Donovan,
physical instructor at the New York

fit for battle, practiced jolts, swings
and uppercuts in his gymnasium.

looked ut the name OF the register, and
told the visitor he was sorry but there
wasn't a vacant room in the house. When
two strong armed porters had assisted
the visitor to the door, curious caller
asked what the Dutch list was.
Its q list of people who arc in Dutch

OF beats who are known and drunks who

San Francisco. but will be coordinate

tor general OF the exposition. while
San Francisco was making a bid for the
worlds fair site. the San Diego promot-
limelight. but now that congress has
voted the fair TO San Francisco, we shall

Diego fair. which will begin January l.

Its site will be at Balboa park, a tract
OF 1900 acres in the heart of the city. -

lecture will pay tribute to the memory
OF the Venturesome seventeenth century
