Mrs. Scott Lee, an aged negro wom-
an, is happy because she has found a
way at last to cheer the soldiers on
their way as they pass through here en-
route from camp to coast for overseas
service, according to an Ashtabula dis
patch to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mrs. Lee, who lives near a railroad
track, looked wistfully at the troop
trains as they sped through, wondering
If there was any way in which she
could make long trip more pleasant
for the men. But the trains went
through so fast she almost despaired
until she finally hit upon a scheme that
works to perfection. She got a long
pole, and to it she fastens bundles of
magazines and lunches, and as the
trains whiZ past she stands on the
station platform and reaches her gifts
to the men as they lean from the car
windows.

EnIIsts at So; Saws He's 80.

American Magazine has an article
about "FoghOrn" Macdonald, who ena
listed as a private in the Canadian
forces at fifty-three and is now ma
jor at fifty-seven. The author Of the
article says:
by canoe for 81 days through the
wilderness, by an old tub Of leaky
steamboat, by whatever means Of
travel he could find, including his own
feet, he made his way back to Winni-
peg, only to find that the troops had

pany was being formed and he applied
for that.

Why Mr.. Petty, With Other Members

to find that his employer was late also.
"Pretty goodT" laughed Mr.. Petty
to his assistant. 'He will never know

When the head of the firm came In
he scrutinized Mr.. Petty long and
closely, then leaned casually against

Real "LuckY Bone.n

One of the most precious posses
sions of an officer in England, and one
which excited much curiosity during
recent short leave, is an ordinary wish
bone which he has had mounted in gold
and carries about with him as mas
cot, it having already, he AYERS, once
saved his life.
It appears that while near the front
line in France he was enjoying a rare
meal of doubtful chicken with couple
of brother officers, and was just about
to try conclusions with the wishbone
with his opposite cOmrade when 1t
slipped from his plate and dropped
under the heavy oak table the three
had managed to secure from ruined
farmhouse for their barn billet. No
sooner had the Birmingham man got
under the table to grOpe for the bone
than the barn was reduced to debris
by a couple of direct hits from enemy
airplanes.
The other two officers were killed
outright, but the stout table saved the
third from any material injury. The
wishbone was firmly clasped in his
right hand when he was dug out of the
ruins.

TIME TO PUT ON BRAKES
With the Passing of His Fiftieth Birth
day Man Should Take a Few
Moments and Think Hard.

When you have passed, say, your
fftieth birthday anniversary, that foxy
old gent, Mr.. Time, puts the skids un-
der you and greases them good and
plenty.
1t is appalling, then, how quickly
the days and the weeks and the months
pass. You start in on Monday morn
ing, and before you know it, it is Sat
urday night again. Even the years
slip by as though you were riding
through life on a roller coaster.
The thing to do then, brother, is to
put on the brakes. Slow up and get
little more enjoyment out of the seem
cry.
Some men think that just the other
way is the best method to adopt, but
we are convinced that they are making
a mistake. Their idea is that the thing
to do when one grows gray and bald
is to keep up with the procession, wear
pinch-back clothes, silk socks and
sailor hat with a polka dot band.
But, if you do that, all you achieve

ceives no one. and yourself least of al.
When you are fifty and over, you know
it, and everyone else knows it.
When a Ian is fifty he should have
a home in the country, or at least out
of the town. He should awake before
dawn and say good morning to the sun,
sip his glass of water deliberately in
stead of gulping it down, move serene
ly, take his time.
When night comes he should be able
to say, "Well, this has been a fine, long
day." instead of saying, "FOr the love
of Mike, where has this day gone tor
Then, when old age comes, you will
be able to say with the sage: "Old age

Hit Profiteers in Meat.

Queensland, New South Wales, has
found way to get cheap meat. Its
policy, inaugurated by the Queensland
labor government in November, 1915,
is now past the experimental stage and
working well. Convinced that exploit
tation was going on ''on grand scale" ("
and finding every attempt at price re
striction met with bitter complaints
from dealers, the government decided
to test the situation itself, and set up
state butcher shops. After two years
and half of operation, reports the
staff correspondent Of the Montreal
Star at Queensland, the price of meat,
which had increased 100 per cent in
war time, under private control has
been brought down ito figure equal
to what it was before the war, plus
q difference due to legitimate causes
such as droughts." Beef fell nine
cents a pound when the first state
shop was opened.

Gold In Old pInnInns.

A large piece Of virgin gravel has
been found in the old Hilo diggings at
Chaparral hill, near Downieville, Cal,
by men who have been mining there
on small scale.
The gravel is very rich in gold and
is Of the same deposit from which sew
eral fortunes were taken in former
years. A drift run 100 feet on the
gravel has not disclosed it's full extent
How this body of gold-bearing gravel
came to be overlooked by the early
miners is something of a mystery.

Wartime Economy.

Mr.. Benson went to New York to
business, but lived in Brooklyn. Often
he was not able to get home in time
for dinner at night. He told his wife
that he would phone her every day as
to whether he could leave the Office or
not.
Mrs. Benson was Of a very thrifty
disposition, and the following was her
solution of the problem: "Sam, If you
find that you can't be home for dinner,
phone me exactly six o'clock. If the
telephone rings at that hour, I'll know
it is you and that you are not coming
for dinner. I won't answer ii, and
you'll get your nickel back."-Ladies'
Home Journal.
