with his regiment somewhere In

in the trenches, was Willing away its

some of their spare minutes In the

take very kindly to the idea, and one
of the officers sought to chide them for
their lack Of interest. Private Z"

1t is not always that things turn out
so happily for the rash person who
ventures to take snapshots on the east
coast of England, as they did in the
case of a young lady in the following
story: She was seen photographing
on a POINT of the coast, and was
promptly approached by a special,
who Informed her of the enor-
nifty Of her offense, took her name
and address, and removed her camera.
She heard nothing more of the matter
for some time, but one morning she
was amazed at receiving check run
ming into three figures, and a letter
from headquarters informing her that
her photographs were not only very
good, but resulted in the capture of
an enemy submarine.

WHEN age ARRIVES
Rules That One Man Promises
He Will Observe.
OF Course There Is a Proviso, but the
World Would Be Sweeter II
They Were Kept Gener-
ally In Mind.

When / am old / will observe the
following items (perhaps):
/ will not try TO act nor dress nor
talk so as to make people think am
younger than am.
will not pretend to be young, nor
be angry when called old, nor ashamed
of my age:
Will not complain of being old.
l will not continually remind people
Of my old age TO secure their SYM
pathy, or to hear them say am not
old after all, or do not seem so.
will not form the habit of indulging
I'm "reminiscences.
will be particularly careful not to
repeat the same anecdotes over and
over.
will not complain of the present
and claim the past was much better.
If l am deaf, weak-eyed, lame or
otherwise afflicted I will not advertise
my infirmities, but avoid obtruding
Them upon the notice of others as
much as possible.
will not talk of myself, my works,
or my achievements, even of my mis-
takes, any more than is necessary.
will speak cheerfully or keep still.
/ will never indulge in cynicism,
never sheer at youth, and / will try
always TO appreciate what younger
folks do.
will be as little bored as can, and
never say l am bored, nor If possible,
act as if I were bored.
will not give advice unless it is
asked, and not often then.
will not be irritable.
/ will not be a nuisance nor an en-
cumbrance, so far as In me lies.
will not be offended by neglect, but
will remember the words of the sage
Those who come TO see me do me hon.
or; those who do not come to see me
do me a favor"
/ will be as little disagreeable as
possible, and will never use my natural
disagreeableness as a means of getting
my way.
I will cultivate the friendship and
companionship of Foung children, who
alone understand old age.
/ will learn TO love to be alone. AS
Ibsen says: "The freest soul is the
soul that is alone"
shall try to show the world that cid
age is spiritual opportunity and not
physical calamity.
Forced TO become by-stander, /
shall try to be hopeful one.
l shall try to sweeten like the pear
Doctor Holmes describes that mellows
and becomes full favored before it
drops from the stem, and shall try not
to sour and dry and rot.
l shall conceive my life's triumph to
be to grow triumphantly, VIGOROUSLY
old.
In word, shall try to adjust my
self to old age, as to all other facts of
life.-Life.

II was while was being initiated

A heavy slam-banging from the op-
pOsite end of the boiler room indicated
that things were not going quite so
smoothly there. and edging cautiously
along. l was presently able TO get
some hint of the cause from the words
of volubly cursing stoker who limped
out TO tell me that the "bllnkin' skip
as took charge" Rubbing a bruised
shin and glowering balefully from a
blackened eye which appeared TO have
been bumped against boiler, he ex-
planned, in language more forceful than
elegant, that some impractical theorist
had encouraged them to experiment
with wheels on the side of the skip,
with the idea Of making ii easier TO
