KEEP A'-MOVIN'.
Evening Wisconsin. }

Evening wisconsin,
"A Wisconsin woman is said to be
the Oldest university student in the
world-Mrs- Amy D. Winship who
recently celebrated her eighty-sixth
birthday at Los Angeles, California,
and told her friends on that occasion
that she plans to re-enter the univer-
sity of Wisconsin, where she was
student a few years ago.
There may be those who think
octogenarians have passed the age
at which study is worth while, but
there are others who are convinced
that the law of life is to keep on do
ing as long as one has the power. Of
this belief was Longfellow, when he
wrote:
Is it too late? All, nothing is too late
Till the tired heart shall cease to pal
pitate.
Cato learned Greek at eighty; Sophie
cles
Wrote his grand "Edipus,Y and Sim
/ OXIDES
Bore off the prize from his compeers,
WHICH 0dCI udu I1ul1U0T0U more IUdn
four score years,
And Theophratus, at fourscore and
ten,
Had but begun his characters Of
Men"
Chaucer, at Woodstock with the night
ingales,
At sixty wrote the Canterbury
Tales"
Goethe at Weimar, toiling to the last,
Completed Faust" when eighty years
were past.
There is no certain age for retire
ment Of people who are in the pos
session Of their faculties. Many of
the individuals at present performing
useful labors in the world are far be-
yond the Oslerian period The num-
Der includes Osler himself "Why
should a man whose blood is warm
within, sit like his grandsire carved
in alabaster, sleep when he wakes,
and creep into the jaundice?" A good
way to "creep into the jaundice" is
to give up too soon. 1t may be a wise
fellow who said that a man is like
a hoop. When a hoop is running it
keeps up, but when it stops running
it falls down.

THERE are now among US thou
sands Of married couples in
whose hearts there dwells an
aching void because OF the fact
that no little ones have come to
bless the home. There are many
perfectly good and legitimate rea-
sons why no infants are born in
certain families. In many such In
stances these chfldIess pairs are In
all respects most worthy Of assum-
ing the responsibilities OF parent
hood.
Now. to all you lonesome. child
hungry souls ! urge the adoption
Of q baby. and two babies IL you
can AFFORD II. Usually foster parents
become deeply attached to their
wards and there develops that same
tender feeling which characterizes
blood relationship. Indeed. st is not
80 much the kinship as II IL the in
timacy which binds together the
hearts OF parent and child.
Bring q sweet little boy or girl
into your household and there will
enter into your life q hood of

forts devotediy. reyerently to the
tender solicituds necessary TO keep
the little bundle Of mystery slowly
unfolding into q human personality
and you will thus acquire an eX-
allied sense OF your worth to the

prone to become Just q bit selfish.
They do not have enough daily sac

will prove quite so successful in
