SEVEN AGES OF MAN.

A Ill the worlds a stage
~ And all the men and wo-
"A men merely players.
4 4 They have their exits and
their entrances.
And one man in time plays many
parts,
His acts being seven ages; At first
the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurses
arms
Then the whining sChooIbOy. with
his satChe
And shining morning face, creep
ing like snail
Unwilingly TO school And then the
lover,
Signing, like furnace with a woeful
ballad
Made to his mistress eyebrow.
Then a soldier,
Full Of strange Oaths and bearded
like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick
in quarrel
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth And
In fair round belly with good capon
lined,
With eyes severe and beard Of
formal cut,
Full Of wise saws and modern in
stances,
And 50 he plays his part. The sixth
age shifts
Into the lean and sIippered panta-
LOOM
With spectacles on nose and pouch
on side,
His youthful hose, we'll saved a
world too wide
For his shrunk shank. and his big
manly voice,
Turning again toward childish tre-
BILE, pipes
And whistles in his sound, Last
scene Of all,
That ends this strange eventful
history,
Is second childishness and mere
oblivion,
Sans teeth. sans eyes, sans tasta
sans everything

heirs thru the American consul at
Odessa, to recover the estate.
Thirty-five years before his death
IIerdman left his wife and three
small children in Odessa and came to
America. Living meagerly and
quietly accumulating large real es-
tate holdings, he left his wife and
family to fisht their own battles. De-
celuber H. 1916, a notarial will of
Herdman's was filed in the civil dis
trict court, and his wife and children,
~ living, were named as the bone
ficlaries.
The Commerclal- -Germania Bank &
Trust Co., which had business con-
nections with Herdman, wrote the
American consul at Odessa, telling
him of Herdman's death. and asking
that tho heirs be found. The local
bank also asked to be appointed as
administrator to settle the estate. Al
that ime the bank officials estimated
the property TO be worh about $780,

sui.
