GETTING THE BEST IN LIFE
TO BE Able TO Grow Old Gracefully
and With Profit Is an Accomplish
n,cnt Indeed.

On his seventy-fifth anniversary
feeling fine and active, John Wanna
maker said;
"There is one compensation for 9
long life. II is possible to I'll up
ones life so that the years upon your
brow and the feelings in your heart
are not on speaking terms"
That is commonplace enough in
that it has been often said. But il
is a great truth and worth repeat
ing.
One of the triumph, of the last
half-century has been the gradual
conquering of age. Despite the ten
dency of rush and hurry, it is still
true that men are no longer old at
the age which was held to be old
half century ago.
The thing that makes age deplor-
able is the lack of human interest.
A mans years mean nothing SO long
as he is still vitality concerned in life,
interested in the days work, in the
common problem of humanity, and
participates mentally at least in the
movements of his time.
The man whose mind and heart do
not share in the common inheri-
tances of humanity is old at any
age, for he is not living.
To bring to old age the vital en-
thusiasm Of youth, mellowed and
glorifed and substantiated by the
experience Of years, and subdued but
not chastened or defeated by the wis
dom and patience and tolerance Of
calmer days, is to know the best of
life, vigor that is not volatile, and
a serenity that is not dull.

SELFISH EYES.

Lee Shubert, the theatrical man.
ager, said on the Mauretania:
american ragtime is sweeping
Europe, but the American ragtime
composers get no credit, and no cash
either.
"Hence our composers can't help
looking at this ragtime furore with
sad and perhaps selfish eyes.
Eve look at everything, you know,
selfishly. We say with the million
aire:
Poverty is no disgrace, provided
the victim doesn't owe us anything. "

The light caboose swung after its
groaning pilot like the tail of a
kite. Then there was a whiplash
sway and the engine cleared a
bridge just as a break in a dam
carried its center pier away.

as they rounded hill and came
in sight of Clay City, to see the
Night Express on the rival road
steaming down the rails a mile
distant. They've given her the
right of way" he shouted, as they
neared the interlocking tower
"You must stop that train,
cried the railroad magnate.
I'm going to" said Doc grim
ly.
He never let up on his speed.
Square1y across the tracks of the
incoming train the giant engine,
battered, ice coated, a brave
wreck, crashed the gates to kin
ding wood and halted squarely,
a barrier to the oncoming express.
The official jumped from 101,
ran to the halted train, waved his
hand to Doc, and the dripping
engineer knew that he had won
the day.
1t was the talk of the road next
morning. 1t was known that up
on the Night Express was a rail
road king, whom the president of
the Southern had to intercept be-
fore he reached the city. A first
interview with him blocked-a ten
million dollar deal WITH a rival
railroad.

between 4th and 5th South Streets.
The latter was torn down few years
