WHY SADNESS IN Old AGE7
Too True That the TWO Things Are
Frequently Associated, but
Should Not Be.

1t Is q common belief that as a per
son advances in years he becomes not
only wiser but a sadder man. That
one should gain knowledge MS he grows
older is thoroughly in order. but that
he should become Increasingly bur-
dened with the cares Of life and sad
dened because Of hopes that have not
been fulfilled is not necessary condi-
ton.
1t is true that the clouds that gather
about the setting sun DO take sober
cOlOring from an eye that has kept
watch in mans mortality, to para
phrase Wordsworth q bit bit, and that the
thought Of constantly lessening activi-
ty and prospects which age entails is
enough to make one pause and consld-
er. But consideration that goes far
enough will reveal that all time, wheth-
er of this world or another, is an I'M
ending opportunity for progression.
After all, the whole matter Of age is
something that has to do with the mind
rather than the body. And when the
body begins to fail, when gray hairs
appear, the step becomes less springy,
sleep more difficult and joy in things
that used to please an impossibility,
sadness should not be the result.
The mind Is a great crucible which
receives and transfuses in some fash
ion impressions from all the objects
and facts of life The will is the mas
ter which determines what the trans
fusion. shall be. man can let his will
relax or he can keep it active, regard
less of age. He can make of his ex-
istence heaven or a hell, whether he
be old or young, rich or poor, in a
favored spot of the earth. on desert
soil or fallen on evil days.
Exercise of the win cannot at last
stave off death, and it may not induce
prolonged health or material welfare.
But it can aid in all these things, and
entirely regardless of its material ac-
complishments, the will that is kept
properly on the alert can lead him in
hope.
"Oh, well for him whose will is
strong"
For him whose will is weak, or rath-
er allowed to become weak, there is
joy neither in sunset nor a sunrise.
And even the bright light Of MONDAY
will only dazzle and bewilder, rather
than encourage and inspire.
The strong will sees endlessly, "be-
yond the sunset and the paths Of all
the western stars" It strengthens a
man in hope and leads him to see I'M
limited possibilities as the years pass.
Sadness is the last thing that ought to
characterize age.-Kansas City Star.

EIenhants, PlenIo.

An act not down on the program
was given without charge the other
day in the old seaport town Of Mar
blehead, Mass, when four elephants
of small circus, named with fine al
lied patriotism General Foch, General
Pershing, General Haig, and Princess
Pat, jumped a stone wall, escaped the
circus, and took to the woods. The
personnel of the circus, acrobats,
riders, clowns and canvasmen, fol-
lowed, and so did many of the towns
people and half a dozen policemen,
but the elephants made for the woods
first and there they spent the day with
a large and appreciative audience
watching on the outskirts. Peanuts
and bananas, usually a temptation to
elephants, failed to entice them from
their New England jungle; but as twi-
light fell, and habit suggested feed
ing time, the big beasts came peace
fully out of the woods and allowed
the trainer and his assistants to lead
them back to the circus grounds. And
all Marblehead went home to belated
Suppers.

here, as you suggest. but only for the
purpose Of aiding you in getting to
the bottom of this affair"
Standing on Jim Conley's front
porch little after sunrise, Barnes
made the following declaration:
Everything goes to show that these
men were up here for one Of two rea-
sons. They were either trying to pre-
vent or to enact a crime. The latter is
my belief. They were afraid of me.
Why2 Because they believed / was
trailing them and likely to spoil their
game. Gentlemen, those fellows were
here for the purpose of robbing the

whats thatP' came a rich, mellow
voice from the outskirts of the crowd.

confronted Barnes. He was a tall,
goOd-looking fellow Of thirty-flve, and
it was apparent that he had dressed in
haste. my name is O'Dowd, and / am
guest of Mr.. Curtis at Green Fancy.
Why do you think they meant to rob

SWELL" began Barnes dryly, at
would seem that his place is the only
one in the neighborhood that would
bear robbing. My name is Barnes. OF
course, Mr.. O'Dowd, it is mere specu-
latiOn on nv. part."
''But who shot the man?' demanded
the rishman. "He certainly wasn't
winged by anyone from our place.
Why, Lord love you, sir, there isn't
soul at Green Fancy who could shoot
thief if he saw one. This is Mr.. De
Soto, also a guest at Green Fancy. He
will, think, bear me out in upsetting
your theory"
A second man approached, shaking
his head vigorously. He was a thin,
pale man with singularly scholastic
face. Quite an unprepossessing, I'M
sanguinary person, thought Barnes.
'Mr. Curtis chauffeur, I think 1t
was, said the killing occurred just
above this house." said he, visibly ex-
cited. Screen Fancy is at least a mile
