PATHETIC OLD AGE.

Have Pity For the Man Who Has Out
lived His Usefulness.
Whenever age has stricken from a
man his power of usefulness and ac-
tivity there is demand for human
sympathy. He may be the inmate of
a home of luxury or 80 placed that his
bodily needs and the companiOnship
of equals and friends may be all that
Is to be desired, still the old man whose
life work has closed and who must
sit idly by and watch the sands in the
hour glass run swiftly out is an object
of profound consideration and should
be given the generation that his posi-
ton and past deserve.
or all human beings who through ad-
vancing years or bodily affection have
reached the limit of usefulness man is
the most pitiable His has been the
work OF actual accomplishment. He
has depended on his strength as a
great fortress and has been lavish In
its use. Unlike the woman or the
child or the mentally and physically
afflicted during life, he has been the
world builder and the home maker. On
his shoulders have rested the great
tasks of life, the creation of a home,
the support of family and the achieve
ment of great things in business and
society.
To lay these things all aside at the
behest of Times reckoning finger and
the approaching decay In mind and
body is q tragic thing, however much
we may glorify the peace and calm
that is said to come In the sunset days
of life. The old man is largely a
stranger la a land made strange by
the absence of many of those with
whom he began the journey.-Pitts-

FINDING THE ALTITUDE.
How Airmen Measure the Heights 70
Which They Ascend.

How Airmen Measure the Heights to
Which They Ascend.
Altimeters or Paragraphs are used by
aviators to measure the heights to
which they ascend Both OF these n
struments are constructed on exactly
the same principle as the aneroid ba.
rometer. They depend upon air pres
sure. At sea level, where the air Is
much compressed by its own weight,
the pressure is about fifteen pounds to
the square inch. but at greater heights
it becomes less. The barometer is gov
erned by the pressure and so indicates
the height above sea level.
There are many forms OF barometers.
The simplest is a bent tube of glass,
shaped like a very long letter and
partly filed with mercury. The upper
part is closed, and the space above the
column OF mercury is a vacuum. The
lower or hook end of the tube is open
and subject TO the pressure Of the at
mosphere. AS the pressure becomes
less on rising above the surface, the
mercury In the long part of the tube
falls. The extent of the fall indicates
the height.
Airplanes use one of these instru
ments mentioned, which are practically
self registering barometers, and when
the airplane comes down the instru
ment shows how high it has been car
ried.-Philadelphia Press.

CLEVERNEss OF A THIEF.
He Made the Job a Thorough One
While He Was About Ii.

The retail store is often the recipient
of unreasonable demands for adjust
ment of one sort or another but the
following incident related by man III
the business seems TO be high light
in the picture
In this case the theft of a package OF
dress goods and silks was made from
delivery wagon by a crook. whose pro
cedure indicated an experienced hand
in department store methods He i'm
mediateIy took the package, which had
been purchased c. o. D., TO the Gus

was paid the So. called for by them
The dress fabrics had been bought for
the purpose of making a suit. and the
customer asked the pseudo delivery
man to take the package around 10 her
dressmaker. whose shop was only a
few blocks away She paid him a
quarter for doing this, and he skipped
around to the dressmaker.
Here was where he began to show
real cleverness The story he told the
dressmaker upon turning the package
over to her was that her customer had
paid SO on the goods and wanted her
to make up the difference. which was
90, and put 1t on the bill for the suit.
This account seemed perfectly plausi-
BILE TO the dressmaker, who promptly
paid out the 81, knowing that the
goods were worth a good deal more.
The thief was then just S14.25 to the
good-S12 as the original payment, %
cents as tip and 50 that the dress
maker paid
The store In this case was out the
$12, which would seem to be sufficient
punishment for the drivers lack Of
vigilance. but the customer was by no
means satisfied to let the matter drop
there She wanted the store to pay
back the 81 the dressmaker had given
out This claim, of course. could not
be allowed.-New York Times.
