One sometimes hears the phrase, "He
is beginning to take the old mans view
of things" 1t is not a pleasant phrase;
but it stands for a fact In the ives of
many people. What Is the old mans
view? 1t is the view of n who has
ceased to grow. whose ideas have all
crystallized. the sutures of whose
brain, SO to speak, have closed. who is
no longer accessible to the teaching of
new experience. There are old men
The physicians say that old age is not
a matter of years, but Of the condition
OF the arteries; that a man may be old
at 40 or young at 80. Age Is largely
a matter of loss of interest; of the
closing of the mind. This may take
place very early in life. There are men
who in their youth are so old that their
emotions no longer respond to any ap-
peal from without; for them the morn
ing has already passed Into monday.
When Dumas the elder was asked how
he grew old SO gracefully, he made the
memorable reply, Madame, 1 give all
my time to it,"
significant by experience. Some men
live in duration only; they do not at
tain the dienity of living in time. A
ma who can give all his time to
growing old, will not grow old. That is
to say. life will never lose its interest
because experiences will never cease
to touch. him; because the wonderful
procession of things will always be
passing In front of him and he will
stand at the window with undated
curiosity until his eys are closed by
what we in our ignorance call death.
The wise Goethe. who saw so many
things clearly. said. Youth develops
.tself anew by being brought into con-
tact with youth" and this Is one Of
the secrets of keeping young. Life is
not a matter Of accumulated invest

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE"
HOW AN INDIAN CAME TO GIVE UP SHOOTING BEARS.

orkma
The hunting of black bear was a
sport much loved by the Usage Indians
In h days before the coming of the
white settlers into the country west
OF the Mississippi. 1t afforded then,
not only the thrill and excitement OF
the chase, of which every hunter is
fond, but 1t also added largely to the
animal food supply upon which the
Indians depended for their living.
Many strange and interesting tales
are told to this day of black-bear hunt
Ing, but Of those that I have heard
not one is SO human as the following.
which was an actual occurrence.
One day a man noted for his skill
IN hunting went out in. search of black
bear that he might add to the food
supply Of his home. Being familiar
with n habits of the
animal the hunter soon found signs,
and as he cautiously looked about he
saw a female bear In a large tree bust
.ly gnawing ct a hole in the trunk. The
man quickly raised his gun and took
aim but he suddenly seized with an ir-
resistible desire to see what the crea-
ture was doing.
After scratching and biting at the
edge OF the hole for some little time the
q thrust In her paw and in q mo-
ment quickly withdrew it. She put
something into her mouth and smack
ed her lips with apparent delight and
satisfaction. Then she suddenly scram-
bled down to the ground. and with an
ambling gait disappeared in q low
bush.
The hunter brought the butt OF his
gun to the ground and waited to see
u the bear Would return. He had not
long TO wait. for she soon reappeared
with two cubs on her back. ON arriv-
ing at the foot OF the tree the bear
shook the cubs down, then selling the
larger one with both her Jaws she put
him up against the trunk of the tree
as high as she coud reach. The young
ster seemed to understand what was
expected of him. for he went up the
tree with the agility of q cat and took
a. seat on a limb close to the hole. Then
the mother picked up the younger one
and held him against the tree. He

house" The rectory was mentioned
years ago In a book on the haunted
homes of England, but the alleged
ghost long had held it's Leace.s Its re-
appearance has stirred the little SOM
munity near Leicester.
The ouse according to a staff cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle, is a
typical country rectory, rather bleak
in appearance and surrounded by fairly
well wooded grounds. 1t is dominated
by the spire of the old church, and
the graveyard is not far away.
There Is difficulty in getting some
OF the superstitious villagers to go into
the rectory grounds after nightfall.
