once every four years. Leap year babies
are not so extraordinarily rare, as you
might think. Statisticians figure that,
in. the entire world, 1O6,849 babies will
be born on Feb. 49, That's the worlds
daily output of babies, assthey figure it.
In the United States, death will come
to $500 persons FEB. 20.
There are about 20 murders day in
the United States, and this extra day

His Heart Was. Right.

An Irishman applying for a pen
sion at Washington, insisted upon
the justice Of his claim, owing to
the fact that he had been wounded
while in the service Of his country.
How and where were You
wounded?" one Of the committee
inquired
Placing his hand er his heart
he said:
+, was shot in the breast on d
retrate from Bull Run, yer honor.
"Shot through the heart on re
treat said the committee man
How could you be shot through tho
breast on a Tetreat?"

IT'S BETTER TO BOOST.

'Tis better to boost for tomorrow
In a glad, irrepressible way,
Than to frame up compact with
sorrow
And hopelessly hammer today
It's better to jolly misfortune,
Fourfushing a heartful of joy,
Than to rail and bewail and import
une,
Till even your God you annoy.
Get out and get into the game, lad;
Draw cards, and sit in with thu
punch
For the man who is hopelessly lame
lad
Is the chap with the pessimis
bunch, The Booster

take Republican administration to pay

Ionuevity Calculations.

From the Christian Herald Almanac.
According to Button. the life of man
can last six times as long as 1t takes
him to become fully developed; accord
ing to Bacon and Huiand, eight times
as long. Now, since man is not consid-
cred in the anatomical sense complete
" mature before the 25th year Of age
his life, according to the last named
two authorities, could last 200 years.
But. as a matter of fact. outside the
bible, there is no record whatever OF
such long lives. Among n
nary cases OF longevity on record and
well attested is that of an Englishman.
Thomas Parr. who lived happily at
Shropshire to the age OF 152. The cell
ebrated Harvey, who dissected him aft
er death, found his body in excellent
condition. and stated that it had not
been for his intemperance he might
have lived much longer. A census
taken under Emperor Vespasian
showed I'm the relatively small territory
of Italy alone so persons over loo years
old. and among these two who mao
reached the g OF 140. The census OF
the United States for 1910 shows 1881
centenarians, and that for 1910 S,504
(nnaIes. 1,2TI; females. 2.33S). These
figures have only a dubious value, anc
merely because the vanity OF some Ole
people causes them to claim their age
much higher thar II really is. but Tor
the fact hi the majority OF these cen
tenarians are ignorant persons t2.S5s
