years before he makes similar dis
covery about himself
He begins to associate the change Of
the seasons with a change of under
wear, and loses his enthusiasm.
In looking backward, he begins to
realize that he has wasted terribly
big pile of money in having a little Bit
of a good time.
He begins to feel a deep gratitude to-
ward those who know him, and still
like him.
The number of times the hero in the
novel saves the heroine doesn't count
for as much to him as the size of the
type the story is printed in.
He would rather gossip about wick
edness than engage in it.
When he was young and didn't know

goose, he had ambition to hatch out

and more charitable.
He becomes a philosopher and it is
in philosophy that he finds his sole

AS A MAN GETS OLD.

THERE are few ties he can take up
after he passes so that do not
become complications.
Time begins to fly so fast with him
he wonders when he takes off his
clothes at night why he went to the
trouble of putting them on in the morn
ing.
He grows surprised when he goes to
church to find how many near his own
age are falling asleep during services.
He reads the death notice of friend
with fear, if the friend is few years
younger; with a feeling of assurance
il the friend is a few years older.
If the years have done nothing else
for him. they have changed his opinion
of what constitutes good time.
He thought he was a bird away back
there when he was young. He is now
satisfied he is the worm.
He may dye his mustache, but he
would give his years away u he takes
off his shoes the moment he gets home.
He discovers that his wife, who is his
junior, is getting old at least fifteen

Queer Habits.

| know one girl who rubs her finger
up and down her nose whenever she
is perplexed or thinking seriously
about something. She doesn't know
how queer it looks. but | have seen her
do it on all kinds of occasions. and
often it is quite a ludicrous perform
ance; besides that, she draws attention
to her nose. which is already long
enough.
Another girl pinches her nostrils.
don't know whether she thinks that is
conducive to serious thought, but il
certainly looks odd and makes her nose
red.
When was a little girl went to
