With the establishment of the
parcels post system the mer-
chants of this city should utilize
the new service to the best pos
sible advantage. The merchant
who is ready for the establish
ment of the parcels post next
January will be the first to pick
the first fruits.
The parcels post system to be
inaugurated by the government
in connection with the postoffice
department January /, 1913, it is
believed by postal experts, will
be the greatest agency ever con-
structed to bring the farmer and
the city business man and buyer
into closer communication. The
merchant can advertise goods de-
liyered by parcels post at a GER
tain price and the farmer or
country resident reading the
city newspaper by this plan be-
comes a constant reader Of the
store advertisements as the
reader who lives in the city.
They will be looking for the bar
gains just as the city readers.
The newspaper with the country
circulation will take all this kind
of business to the city merchant.

nifty. True the eye must lose it's
~lustre, the cheek its glow, but in
its place comes a calm, a dignity
of age that is superior to youth
"a clear vision that sees all the
way that leads to Heaven" where
youth sees but a part.
Now, If our lives have been
busy with care, and the roadway
has often seemed long and dusty,
why should we not welcome a
cessation from toll, and a rest
from the duties Of an active life?
Old age should be the triumphant
march, after the battle has been
fought and the victories won-a
grand climax toa useful career,
when we can lay aside our arms
and enjoy the sweet victories of
peace.
Come, kindly Age, touch with
thy silvery stroke the head of
gray and crown it with a hoary
diadem. Soften the eye that
was once SO fierce with passion
fire, and lend it a holy calm and
peaceful beauty that Youth
knows not! If our hearing be-
comes dull, what Of it, kind old
Thus dost thou ease our
pain, and shut out the unkind
sounds that mock or distress us.
We are grateful, Father Time,
for this blessing; shut out the
lgliness of the past, and dull the
1iscords of the present, and let
is go out gently from this life,
has often been so marred
~ conflict and care!
Evening and morning star,
And one clear call for me-
Ind let there be no moaning at
the bar,
When / put out to see.

Old Age A Burden OF A Blessing.

I do not know how old one
must be to be called old. One
of nv friends is over so. Yet
she is not old, for her heart is
happy, and her spirit is bIithe
and light. Another friend has
just passed 20, and she at times
appears to be old, or she says she
is. Why? Old age is purely a
relative term. A tree a 100 years
old is not counted old, for the
age of trees varies from 20 to g.,
GOO years. An olive tree now
standing on the slopes of Mount
Zion was evidently there in the
days of Christ.
We are curiously inconsistent
in our use of the term odd IF
we count merely years then we
are wrong, for a pyramid a 1000
years old is young compared to
some, or a star that has been
shining SO, 900 years, is called by
astronomers, young. So it must
not be simply years that make
age, for neither the pyramid of
a 1000 or the star above us of
90, 600 years is considered reIa-
lively old. What is old age, then?
What makes the period when one
must be considered old? What
number of milestone must be
passed in life's journey before
one passes from the portal of
youth to the shadow of age?
Philosophers, poets and orators
have discussed this question and
many a song, solemn and pa
thetic, with a minor strain of
sadness pervading its harmonies,
has been sung about the ap-
preaching calamity, as men term
it, Of old age. Somehow we all
dread old age and look with dis
may, yea, verify, often with gem
uine fear, at the day when
Time overtakes US. Men have
racked their brains, philosophers
have toiled YEARLY in their
studies, trying to invent some /,
remedy, or find some secret of
nature with which to defeat :
Father Time. Ponce de Leon I
Iured by the balmy breezes of /,

Men have sought no more
eagerly for the gold hidden away

PRESIDENT TAFT
 TALKS PENSION
Says Congress Should Provide for Ex-ExecutIves to Prevent
 Lowering Dignity.

Washington, D. C., Nov. B. President Taft in a speech here last night on the pension system of the United States, stated that 1t was the duty of the United States government to provide for cX-presidentS after they retire from office, in order that they may maintain the dignity due their former exalted position.
 During the course of his ad- dress the president severely criticised the present pension system of the United States. He strongly urged that congress pass a law defining the conditions un- der which old soldiers should re- ceIVc a pension, that a non-par- tlSan board be then appointed, who shall hear all pension ap- plicationS and lletGrminc as to the merits of each case, thus dn- ing away with the Introduction of individual peISi0n bills. which nav" x" rlogg"u the lrgiSlaI i've machinery as tu exclude uihrr matters of greater importance. He slal"Il that under he present SySl"n many ahuSrS have rr,ui in. but that IlIr prnSinn bureau must pay all prn>i"n> ur,lrrcd pald by congress. that nn funds ar" pr"ri'l"I for the ion ny the bureau of fraudulent claims. which hr h,'lirvrS rnsi ihn nation millions annually.
