He is Not Growing Old,

He is not growing old,
 Although his locks are gray. If on his brow no clouds
 Are seen the long, long day; Nor is he ever lost
 To blandishments of art, While he gives evidence
 Of summer in the heart. He is not growing old,
 Though Time has plowed his face With furrows here and there. Devoid of comedy grace, If laughter rjpples still
 Along the unseen nerve, And make the wrinkles glow
 With beauty's radiant curve. He is not growing old,
 Though at slower gait, He passes to and fro,
 With countenance sedate, If with a statelier tread
 He marches to the tomb; He knows this is the door
 To his eternal home. He is not growing old
 The righteous never die; He only is transformed,
 As worm to butterfly; The fieshlv robe decays,
 Returns to common sod; The spirit finds dc light
 In ministries of God. J. M. Cavaness in Kansas City Jom nal.

Watch Yourself Go By.

Say, what's the use in taking stock in all the things We hear? Why rip the lining out of Jones and make Smith look so queer? You can not always tell, my boy-per- haps it's all lie Just get around behind a tree and watch yourself go by. You will find that things look different, the crooked paths are straight: That Smith is not the only man that sometimes stays out late. Perhaps your wife's own husband some. times gets all awry, So get around behind tree and watch yourself go by. In business, as in pleasure, as in the social life, It doesn't always pay, my boy to let yourself run rife. So try and do the best for those who in your pathway lie, And get aroun1 behind a tree and watch yourself go by.

NBREECHING THEM.

A striking instance of French inven- tiveness has been revealed by the war, in the method of guarding German prisoners of war. By this system, it is claimed-and the claim seems con- vincing-that two French soldiers can guard regiment of captured Germans.
 "The system is to take away the belt of the German as soon as he is captured, cut his suspenders, remove the laces of his shoes and slit his brooches part way down the side. The prisoner is com. pelled to use his hands to keep his trousers up, and shuttle to keep his shoes on. He cannot run in loose shoes, and he cannot use his hands to resist his captors, for his hands are oc- cupied in holding up his panties."
