HIGHEST MARK
WHEN SIXTY YEARS OLD
DR.. Wiley Declares Man Need
Not Fear the Advance
of Age.

Combating the Oserlian theory that
men forty years old have outlived their
usefulness and should be chloroformed,
DR.. Harvey Wiley. speaking before the
Washington Secular League at Pythian
Temple yesterday. declared that men do
not attain their highest efficiency until
they are sixty years old. DR.. Wiley fur
ther maintained that the man or woman
VINO grows old properly is at no disadvan-
tage. but that few have learned the art
of growing old as they should.
Plea for Proper Education.
Dr. WHEY made strong plea for me-
thods of education and for the sort of
legislation that would insure to every
child born into the world it's rightful heri-
tage OF health and vitality, saving that
the biblical words. THE sins Of the father
shall be visited upon the children. even
to the third and fourth generation,
should be changed to read that the sins
of parents are visited upon the children
forever. and that likewise the virtues OF
fhe parents are also transmitted. A good
heredity, he said. means, usually, long
and a happy life.
Heredity an Essential.
Above ALL said DR.. Wiley. Il would
Ike to live to see all the children Of this
country come into the world with a good
heredity. The problem Of youth and age
goes far back into that of heredity, aed
in the interest of society the state should
recognize this fact
The speaker also held the fatal COM
bination of love and ignorance" on the
part of parents as largely responsible for
the high infant mortality. When YOU
have killed the child said the doctor.
YOU look about for a scapegoat, and lay
the blame on Providence. The Providence
adore and worship has never killed a

Differ as to Program.

Peace societies throughout the coun-
try differ widely on the subject OF disar-
mament.' said Secretary Dadmun. The
peace at any price advocates hold that
the United States should disarm imme-
diately, regardless of the action Of other
nations. There are other societies work
ing for peace arbitration and the limita-
ton of armament by international agree
ment that hold IL TO be folly for the
United States to become the one great
country TO abandon all means of national
defense.
1t was the mediate-disarmament
faction that took exception to the po-
sition Of DIR. Abbott. The other societies
in the congress, as, for instance. the
American Peace and Arbitration League.
occupy a similar position to that of the
Navy League. Senator Elihu Root. presi-
dent of the Carnegie Peace Foundation. a

recently for three new battleships.'

German Courtship,

The form in which a proposal OF mar
rage Is made has undergone great
change In Germany during the past
few years At one time any young
man who proposed marriage attired
himself in his dress suit and carried a
bouquet as an offering to his chosen
one. We must not seek to pry into the
intimacy of such proposals, but II the
disconsolate lover left the house carry
ing his bouquet with him 1t was a sure
sign that he was rejected. Nowadays
proposals are less formal, but engage
ments are no less binding. In fact, a
betrothal is regarded as almost as SOL
emn and binding as the wedding Itself.
On every possible occasion German
lovers appear arm In arm, and the Gus
tom Is not confined to one class alone.
Peasants walk thus, and princes and
Processes follow the popular custom

Youthful Authors.

Although 1t was not published until
a year or two later, 1t is proba that
Keats wrote his famous "Ode to An
tumn" in his sixteenth year. and. in
deed, all his Eve great odes. among the
greatest in any language. before he at
tanned legal manhood. He died at
twenty five. so that all the great mas
terpieces which came from his pen
may be regarded as the production OF
a boy. Robert Burns wrote that scath-
ing satire, Holy Willie's Prayer"
when he had barely passed his youth,
and indeed, the whole Of the poems In
the famous Kilmarnock edition. a copy
of which sold some little time, since
for $3.50. were written before he was
twenty-five. But even the precocity Of
Burns was put in the shade by that o.
Chatterton, who committed suicide In
a fit OF despair In London garrett
when he was seventeen. He wrote the
whole huge volume Of the Rowley
poems when he was u schoolboy at
Bristol.

Horrible OueIinq.

A particularly terrible kind Of duel
was fought on one occasion In Mexico
The opponents were an Indian settler
and rich cattle owner The weapons
chosen were butchers knives, and It
was settled that each combatant was
to hold out his hand in turn to have
one Of his fingers cut off. The first
to show the least sign Of suffering pain
was to have bullet put through his
heart by the other. The Indian had
the first cut and amputated the cattle
owners first finger at single blow.
The Indians first injury was the loss
Of a thumb, and he likewise remained
as impassive as marble. This horri-
BILE drama went on until each com
blatant had lost four digits. Then the
cattlemans second became so fright
ened at the CHASTITY sight that he shot
the Indian dead and ended the fight.

Testators' requests often lead to

Thorp, left all his worldly goods to his
two nephews on condition that they
erected monument to his memory
with at least one verse inscribed there
on. These careful brothers searched
long and ardently for verse at once
brief and apt. but they found that the
poets were inclined to run to words.
They asked the aid Of the monument
mason, who suggested that the follow
ing couplet would admirably meet the
case:

The brothers thought this apt. but
wordy. The mason cogitated long and

cry one, the verse found upon the
stone was:
