How Old Is a Man?

Can they measure mans in years? Is such measure than the survival of habit? In the mems ages count but in the individual the is great mere years mean little. Statistics tell us what will be the average age at which million will die but no one can tell how long any ind- vidual in the may survive.
 Some men are settled down, soft and relaxed at 30 years of age. They could not stand the life of so dier without preliminary hardening. There others at fifty who tramp the roads hill and dale blithely the youth, sleep the ground and get up refreshed.

 It is hard to draw the line but the allies have found that older men be made to stand up under strains which it thought no man in middle years could live through and the bearded Frenchman and middeaged Englishmen give the lie any statistics which limit the age of fighting as pre-war esti- mates did

POETRY IN COMMONPLACE THINGS

In the later years of his life Joel Chandler Harris had habit of going to the old postoffce Marietta street each morning for his mail. Often we met in that famous old building, and the philosophy of the man was often expressed in his morning greeting
 There is new type of gold in the sunlight today or 'the April rain of this morning will awaken many drowsy daffodils'-were among the many expressions he used in those blessed days of his prime eyed he sensed some new wonder in nature every morn ing and applied. it as to make the day happier. One frosty October morning he remarked: This starts MT. Possum for the 'persimmon tree and for the wild grapes along the river bank"
 The master knows the note of every song bird the prophecy of every breeze that blows, the far away glory of the summer clouds the of mi- grating fowls and birds; he paints with consummate artistry Georgia landscape, the wonder mystery of night when the moon hangs full over the harvest felds he knows the secret of frost the mysteries of the swamp with it's evergreen trees and vines the hedgerows of briars and sumac and thousand other wonders which belong to the lmitless world of na- ture To one who has lived. in the country his pie lures are true in detail, and the master fails to show you the poetic rainbow of promise that hangs about the most commonplace things. That is the highest of all art and that is the field in which the creator of Uncle Remus has achieved the most H. E. Harman in the South Atlantic Quarterly.

Turkey for Thanksgiving

It has been the fashion to slaughter turkeys in this country for Thanksgiving for many years and this fashion have spread overseas with other American customs. General Aenby is another one of he great Engshmen who is doing things in a striking way and the in which he is removing the blot and blight of the Turk from Palestine is of the big things of the Turkey is the weak sister in the Central Power confederacy and with two of its three armies Palestine dead, captured scattered and the third making desert speed records for the rear that end of the allied campaign is well in hand. It is really a more significant and important feature of tho general campaign than many appreciate for if a chain is to be shattered the weakest link is usually tackled and the weakest link in the chain of the enemy is that same Turkey-Turkey ready and willing to kin defenseless Armenians but poor loser when hard pressed itself.
 Reports from Turkey indicate that far as the public concerned there is general apathy. The Ger man ruled army and navy is fighting after fashion but the people after centuries of misrule have come Co realize that they could not be much off even if their armies and navy defeated.
 Henry Morgenthau. ambassador to Turkey when the United States had ambassador to that country during the war, has told in a interesting and convincing fashion of the intrigues which brought Turkey into the on the side of Germany Turkey, always grafridden and cashess became enamoured of so-oaled German efficiency. She is now paying in blood for the cash advanced to grating rulers.

Never in the world has there beea dearer bought friendship as Turkey and Austria can testify.
