Life's True Value.
from the Charleston News and Courier.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
There is SO much for us to do so many
wrongs to be made right and so many
evils to be remedied that a consideration
of the petty chickering's of life Is far be-
meath our notice. So long as life runs
smoothly in it's usual channel we are in
clined to attach great Importance to the
minor details of existence and in time
yield largely to their influence.
The terrible test of some great emer-
gency. however, makes clear life's true
values. The greatest success that can be
attained, the largest fortunes that can be
amassed and the highest station that can
be achieved are as nothing in the closing
hours of a mans life. Then it Is that he
scrutinizes his past for the least yestige
OF personal good which he has wrought.
and 1t is that memory alone which Is
worth anything at all to him. He cannot
derive much comfort from the wealth he
has accumulated, or the social distinction
he has attained, but he can and does
rely for his eternal reward upon the I'M
selfish and simple service he has rendered
for the welfare of others. The life upon
which we place so high a value must end
some time. sooner, perhaps. than we
imagine We must build for the future.
indeed, not blindly. not selfishly, not bru-
tally. but in that spirit OF brave fellow
shin which measures up to every emer-
Gency.

The Fountain Of Youth.
rom the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal
From the woman's standpoint the
greatest achievement OF modern times Is
the prolonging of youth.
"who of his own Will would take a
udfe even Of twenty? She is a woman,
aging every hour" So says a Hindu girl
in Kippling's story, without Benefit of
CLERGY And up till q comparatively
short time ago the oriental view of a
uoman's age was the western view as
well.
Go back over the romances Of fifty to
one hundred years ago. You Will ind
that the heroines average about eighteen.
Here and there bold author may have
ventured to suggest that a woman or
twenty-one may not be too old TO be
charming: but he never goes beyond that
limit It is the deadline OF beauty. the
end of youth, the finish of all charms
save those connected with white hair and
a Widows cap.
Then. as now. romancers wrote what
people wanted to read: they put current
views in words. Woman entered on her
prime at sixteen years. came to the full
ness of her charms at eighteen. with
good luck might escape being hideous at
twenty-one but was hopelessly on the
shelf thereafter.
Nowadays the heroine OF romance is
.eldom less than twenty-five. She 10 kept
at about that age chiefly because no
romancer has dared to change the tradi-
tion which demands that the hero shall
he older than the heroine But the
women who really influence the world.
tionaI and philanthropic work, are seldom
less than forty.
Whatever the faults OF modern life. 1t
has been Q fountain Of youth TO women.

he has placed permanent order with his

ried off an enviable prize at historical
Chantilly because the jockey on a rival

Belmont and Vanderbilt horses ran neck

Belmont has been on our turf only lit

some enviable prizes. 1t is almost four
years since he brought over his brood

Hildreth Gets French License.
At last Sam Hildreth. the American
trainer, has succeeded in getting license
in France He has established himself
at Maison La Elite. and is training for
Baron Morris de Rothschild.
Hildreths difficulty in getting a license
arose from q recent ruling Of the Jockey
Club to the effect that no license will in
future be given in France to any one who
has not resided there for three years.
Hildreth has avoided this ruling by be-
coming a private trainer to Baron Morris
de Rothschild, but, as such. he will not
be allowed to train for anybody else.
Hildreth took possession of the Roths

celebrated by winning the very first day,
