days. but Uncle George has been put
ting day by day and year by year be-
hind him in quiet kind of way an6
not allowing trifies to worry him, unit
now he is nearer the century mark, il
is believed. than any other man u.
Augusta. To those of us who see
Uncle George" every day, he appears
about the same as he did year age,
though perhaps not quite as spry on
his feet, but mentally he has changed
very little. His interest IN current
events is as keen as ever, and while
his eyesight bothers him somewhat.
he delights in having his friend c. G.
Ballard read him the war news, and
he is never tired of discussing the
outlook. When it comes to his hear
ing he is remarkable, and still claims
that he can hear just as we'll as he
ever could but not quite as quickly.
A pleasant feature of Uncle
Georges" birthday each year is fur
nished by the little reminders of the
day that his friends are wont to send
him, and it is probable that next
Wednesday will prove no exception.
Here's hoping that the day may prove
a happy one.

THE RICH MAN.

I met the richest man in all the world. It was neither Rockefeller or Morgan. You would not know him should I give his name. He no profits or interest from anyone. Like one of old, himself the richest man of his age, he had not where to lay his head. But he was rich. He lad health worth more than millions. He had a consciousness of righteous aim, and invaluable asset. He had possession of his senses-was eelf-possessed by things that tied him by paper tit
 les. He saw into the hollowness of systems that his eyes were open to visions of better things. He heard the music of laughter and of joy yet to be. He felt the great aspi- ration of labor lifting its hands from the mire to the stars. He senoed the powers that yet would como to man made free by consci- ous control of his environment. He tasted in advance the fruits of faith. With an unfGltering hope he pressed onward-a tramp, not seeking merely a job for himself, but a better world for all. His heart was set to music and lips re- flcct2d the sunshine of his soul. A dog sniffed at his ragged garments and followed him. A little child lokcd into his face and placed its hard in his to "go-by-by." The rags and the hunger were mere incl dcntG of the day; the weeriness of foot was the sign that he had been advancing Millionaries whirled by in their cars and he got their dust; but had they known they would have diffed their h':ts in reverence to him.
