When We Grow Old.

VIC DFOw
We had our dreams, these rosy dreams
of youth,
They faded, and twas well. This after
prime.
Hath brought us fuller hopes; and yet,
forsooth,
We drop a tear now in this later
time
To think we're old.
We smile at those poor fancies of the
past
y saddened smile. almost akin to
pain;
Those high desires, those purposes SO
All, our poor hearts, They cannot come
again,
We're growing old.
Old? Well the heavens arc old: this
earth is, too:
old wine is best, maturest fruit most
sweet:
Much havo We lost more gained. al
though 'tis true
We tread life's way with most uncer-
tain feet.
We're growing old!
We move along, and scatter as we
pace
Soft graccs. tender hopes on every
hand;
hollow face.
We step across the boundary OF the
land
Where none are old.
-Frn Grandma's Sdapbook.
We read much about the art of grow
ing old gracefully, but it remains for a

even then. We better understand when
II happens that We see the two types
side by side
The one naturally and acccptabIy takes
the passing years for granted and grows
with them. knowing that it is the way of
all mankind, a thing that cannot possibly
be turned aside. and that the fewer use
less protestations the more beautiful the
later product age.
The other ChafcS in spirit, rebels at
growing old. and III" years slowly but
rC!entlessly take their toll in lovahleness
and the breath of spirit that ought to be
one Of the recompensng gifts to age.
What II Means.
Who can de scribe just what it is, this
art of growing old with grace and pleas
ant conformity?
1t means that comfortable and very
agreeable way-statiOnS somewhere be
tween the frivOlites. the lightness of
youth. and the old-timc. relentless port

JOHN JACOB ASTOR

- s@@& FL
Americas first millionaire. was 9 very
far sighted man. He left the little viii
lage of Waldorf on the Rhine to come to
this country of wonderful opportunities
to engage in the business of selling
pianos, but he soon learned that there
was more profit in he fur business. In
good yearsaand bad years, he prospered
because under all circumstances he was
a rigid economist and close trader.
BY the close of the eighteenth century,
he was the richest man in the United
States. Then, as his wealth continued
to grow, he did something which nearly
everybody thought was foolish. He
bought land on Manhattan Island, far
beyond the developed section. which TO
the ordinary vision was not likely to be
encroached upon by the then little city
for generations to come. The wisest
men in New York said he was inviting
ruin, tying up vast sums in unproductive
and that meant nothing but taxes. But
he kept on buying land. In 1S48, he died
leaving an estate worth over $50. 600, 900.
