1 Akron, October 23.-(Special.)-Dr Os- ler's theory Is all wrong, but it took d war for us to find 1t out 1 had the thing brought out this morning when we rolled up to Tuscaloosa and I witnessed an old man who is agent for The Age Herald, The moment his package of [ papers hit the platform he had his knife out, cut the string and in less than 90 seconds he was parading up and down the platform singing this merry tune: Irish potatoes, tops and all, Get your Age Herald now or not at all'
 The air caught the popular fancy and While our train was standing at the sta tion he had sold out his stock Coming down from Birmingham I noted the list less way in which the young newsboy called his papers; when we had pulled out of Tuscaloosa the old gentleman that pr. Osler thought ought to be chloroformed had sold the passengers on that very train four copies. As the train pulled out heard him chanting:
 If you don't know nothing don't
 blame me,
 For I've got The Age-Herald as you
 can see.'

 had this matter of old men brought before me again this week at Anniston. I had occasion to walk into the express office and there perched on a high stool was an old gentleman writing way bills with all the insouisance of youth. Not far away in another office an old man was fairly burning up a billing machine and turning off work in a way to make my friend Superintendent Knowles of the Southern Express happy. Now if we had not gotten into this war society, and especially the business world, would have become more firmly welded to the idea that only young men can produce the goods these days. As it is we have daily reminders that many man above 65 is not near ready for the scrap heap. My, My! How these old fellows do eat up the work and make good
