Benson, you know, arily remarks in
"Dodo's Daughter
There are no years. Years are only
an expression used by people who think
about what is young and what is old
Every one has his essential age ard re-
mains that age. We grow up into our
ages if we are born old. and we grow out
of them, like missing a train, if our es-
sential age is-young."
That's gospel truth, if ever truth were
spoken.
People may attain to knowledge and ex-
perience, but they do remain mentally a
fixed age from the cradle to the grave.
Is not every one acquainted with the
girl who is'"as old as her mother" or
the young man who "acts as IL he were

And how familiar the Foxy Grandpa

question of ages, and that they are as
signed instead of chosen.
Certainly, people every day are found
living up to a period before them or leap
ing lightly back to a birthday past
1t is a blessed thing when the indi-
vidual trend of a thought retraces its
steps to youth, instead of ever reaching
onward to the uncertain gray shadows of

From the New York World.
There was a hunt for game yesterday
atop the municipal building. The game
was variously described as a hawk and

Carstairs and Jack Kennedy, chief clerk
of the water department. The guide, .

Dispatcher Peter Kearney. whose office
is on the roof of the building and who
has been watching the big bird capture
and devour pigeons.

his wings spread four feet" said Kearn-
ey. Hes black but his breast has
streaks of white on it. He has a brown
bill with black spot right on the end

The hunters trooped out on the roof
just after Kearney had informed them
the bird had settled on a ledge Is feet
below with pigeon in its mouth. There
was a long discussion and finally Frank
