PATHETIC OLD AGE.

Have Pity For the Man Who Has Out
lived His Usefulness.
Whenever age has stricken from
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 so 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
stk Idly By and watch the sands In the
hour glass run swiftly QUE is an object
OF profound consideration and should
be given the generation that his posi-
ton and past deserve.
OF all human beings who through ad-
vancing years or bodily atiiction 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 q
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 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 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 III land made strange by
the absence Of many Of those with
whom be began the Pitts
burgh Gazette Times.

An express official who travels al

times he has arrived an hour ahead
Of time or perhaps an hour after a

for reflection.
Recently he conceived the IDEA of
making his watch tell all four different
times eastern, central, mountain and

extra hour hands put on his tfmepiece,
each Of different color, so that he
can recognize It at a glance on the face
Of his watch. For instance, the ordi-

is silver; blue hand, set an hour
