YOUTH IN AGE.

The other day Andrew ID. White on
celpbra ting his eightieth birthday an
nolinced that he had taken up the in
yestiga ton of criminology and expect
ed to make. possibly, some important
contributions to the subject before lie
is ninety.
When man can take up new
study at eighty he has the spirit Of
youth.
Many men at Andrew d. Whites
age, who have done but fraction OF
the good he has accomplished. would
be willing to rest on their iaurels.
This man. it must be remembered.
pra ctically founded great university.
OF which he was for many years pres
ideRt, was distinguished Ambassador
to an important foreign nation and
has been for years 4 pubiicist and
leader Of thought.
Yet he has no intention Of stopping.
He sees an opportunity OF further
good by studying the treatment Of the
outcast and the criminal.
The world owes much to IFS young
old men. those who keep the heart OF
youth when they have the wisdom Of
age.
The trouble with some old men Is
fossilization. They are unwilling to
keep abreast of progress. They talk
about the good old times and become
clog against making the present
times better They are not receptive
to New ideas.
1t was Byron who hit off that retro
spective turn Of mind when he said:
THE good old times! All times when
old are good
The inspiring outlook Is forward, not
back ward Even though we may not
understand all the currents Of our age.
this day Is the best in the worlds his
tory. Tomorrow will be better.
The man who keeps a young spirit
In an old body and who looks to the
sunrise rather than to the sunset is
about the finest and most inspiring
spectacle seen in our human world.
This age is full of such men-also of
such women. There was Villa
Ewart Gladstone. leading new cru
sade at eighty. There was Julia Ward
Howe. keenly alive to the reforms Of
the present and the future up to her
death at ninety. +
It is matter of whether the. spirit
or the body dominates. The spirit is
eyer; young. If that leads Us we are
| also young.
Keep the heart youthful by living III
present day joy, present day progress,
! present day work.
| In our thought we should hold eter-
| nal youth.

FIRE UNDER THE BOILER.

In an interesting address on fne
Science and Art of Building Any Bust
ness delivered by Arthur Frederick
Sheldon in Kewanee, ILL.,, the other
day advertising was endorsed as n
dynamic force and compared to the
fire under the boiler. The man who
advertises Just little and then says
that advertising does not pay was
likened to the man who burned Just
one match under a 10-gallon kettle OF
water and then said that the fire
would not heat the water A little
fire will not heat much water and a
little advertising will not build much
business. But much Are will heat
much water and much advertising OF
the right kind in the right medium IS
potent factor In the building of
much business.

ARE DIRECTLY INTERESTED.

According to reports from several
counties OF the state the plan to cir
cumvent the mulct law which eman-
ated from Ottumwa Is liable to be
adopted in several instances. Ottum-
wa citizens suggested a plan, which
virtually meant the substitution OF the
ballot for the petition of consent
Their idea was to take preferential
vote: If the "drys" won no petition
WAS to be circulated; II the VETS
won no organized opposition to the
petition was to be launched The
only opposition to the scheme came
from the Anti-Saloon league. Ottum
was idea has been heralded through
out the state and the result Is that
other counties are talking of adopt
ing the same plan. The only trouble
is that the preferential plan has nc
standing in the law, and outside in
terests, who look upon the liquor
question only as means Of liveli
hood, could step In and nullify Its ef
fects. However, It would seem that
where so many people who are direct
ly interested want to be able to decide
this problem by the ballot it is very
nearly time that the legislature
amend the law so that It would be ir

TO anyone familiar with the Clark

least inconsistent. Among some OF
Champs legislative cure-alls which he
has promulgated from time to time
are the abolition OF the civil service'
the tearing down OF every custom
house; the abolition Of the diplomatic
corps; the reduction Of the army to
one-half its size, and the annexation
Of Canada and Mexico. The chances
are very remote. however. that old DR.

A Party 70 FIT the Man.

st. Louis GIobe-D Democrat: An old
method for making a cannon is to
take hole and pour metal around it.
The new party of Roosevelt Roose-
velters is started in this way. 1t has
begun without platform, or known
principles on any subject. It has only
nominee, dictated by himself per.
sonally So far the literature of the
party consists of his speech of ac-
ceptance. There Is something conf
cal In the haste of the self selected
nominee to remove the question of
leadership from any possibility of
competition. As soon as the lack of
third-term votes in the Republican
national convention was distinctly
realized the hole was utilized and
melted metal applied. The result is
supposed to be cannon. Anyway, the
name of Roosevelt" is cast in the
gun. No way can ever be found to
get the name off this novel piece Of
ordinance The hot metal was pour
ed around the hole, and the gun Is
constructed around the name. which
lis understood to be far more impor-
tant than muzzle, breech or ammuni-

that he was self made man and wor-

Theodore Roosevelt can ever get away


Theodore Roosevelt can ever get away
with it. or any of it's appurtenaces.
1T is as unalterably personal as a
toothbrush. Its name is necessarily
Roosevelt, for he is already its nomi-
nee, and has printed his speech &C
cepting his own acceptance. The
platform, as yet unwritten, is any
thing Roosevelt chooses to make 1t.
How could it be otherwise, with the
nominee already selected, and his
speech of thanks to himself issued
to the world? A convention, 1t is said.
will be held. But as the nominee has
already put himself at the head Of
the ticket what can convention do
except to ask him what 1t may do?
He will not argue with delegates. He
just tells them. Never again will this
only individual equal to crisis wait
to hear whether he is nominated or
not. He clinches the matter in ad-
vance and then is willing to have his
convention called to order-to his or
ders. What glorious boon to be a

FACTS ABOUT FLIES.

The fact should be generally known
and kept in mind that most house
flies in cities are Matched from eggs
that have been laid in horse manure.
Some breed in other forms OF filth,
such as garbage cans, heaps of ref
use in back yards, etc. The fly lays
100 or more eggs at time. These, il
they are not disturbed, become mag.
COTS in about twelve hours. In five to
eight days more, the maggots enter
the pupa state, as caterpillars do, and
after from five to seven days come
out OF the earth or manure in which
they have buried themselves in the
form of flies, ready in few days tc
become the fathers and mothers OF
large families. They breed rapid,

A similar valuation is now being

Guard this year. The veto of the ap-

Now it is found that the state appro-

that reliance must be placed on the

A sense that gamers the splendor

Where the wild oats grow breast

And the cali of the quail on the hill

The turtle dove flashing by;
An eve round the fragrant fire
And the tales OF heroic theme;
Yea, these are the Trailman's glory
Yea, these are the Trailman''
