Advancing Years

I'm having trouble with my
teeth; the upper ones. the ones
beneath, are always loose and
sore; l find my hair is falling
out, / have the stringhalt and
the gout, and walking is a bore.
It's hard for me to read a book !;
my eyes grow weary when |
look ten minutes at a page; I
have trumpet for my ears; oh.
such things come with passing
years, the penalties Of age. I'm
glad that in the bygone times I
salted down my surplus dimes,
with wintry years in view; with
zeal I piled my trenchant pen,
and saved stock of iron men
enough to see me through. Now
by my fgtree and my vine | sit
and rest and make no whine of
fortune or Of fate; I view the
world with failing eyes, but see
the good that IN 1t hes, and keep
my smile on straight. And as |
gaze I see old men who failed
to save the shining yen in days
long left behind; they slave
away at dreary toll, and long to
have six feet of soil in which to
end the grind. There's nothing
sadder than the sight Of some
old crippled, weary wight, still
toiling for. his bread, still drudg-
ing for a meager pay, recalling
money thrown away, and wish
ing he were dead.

G. @. p. MAKES
IT'S PLANS WITH
EYE ON M'ADOO
Expects Former Treasurer
Will Be Nominee Of
Democrats.
HAYS SETS CONFERENCE

CHICAGO, June 14--Republican
leaders today began to plan their
presidential campaign on the assump-
ton that William G.. McAdoo would
be nominated by the democrats at
their national convention, which
opens June 2S in San Francisco.
Prominent democrats here en-
route to the coast declared the situa-
ton in their party had not crystal
lized sufficiently to permit even a
guess as to the probable nominee.
Attitude Of the republicans in picking
the nominee for the democrats was Illus
trated in the speech Of Charles ;.
Wheeler, San Francisco attorney, who
nominated Senator Hiram Johnson last
week.
MeADoo EXPECTS
TO STAY IN NEW YORK.
He bitterly attacked the democratic
administration and asked II the repub-
lican PARTY, by refusing to nominate
sure winner" wished TO continue the
Wilson dynasty by placing 1.-THE crown
prince" in the whitehouse
FfcAdoo, who has refused to permit
an open campaign in his behalf arrived
here last week from active participation
in the councils Of his party and expects
to spend the period Of the democratic
convention In New York City.
Republicans have even gone so far as
to assume that James NJ. Cox OF Ohio
would be the democratic choice for vice
president.
Cox, however, probably Is McAdoo's
most formidable rival for the presidential
nomination.
OTHERS PROMINENTLY
MENTIONED FOR HONOR.
He has more instructed delegates and
IL known TO have the backing Of power
ful party leaders.
Other names prominently mentioned in
connection with the democratic nomina-
tion are Vice President Marshall. Attor-
ney General A. Mitchell Palmer. Gov.
Edward l. Edwards OF New Jersey. Sc
retary OF Agriculture f. T, Meredith,
Senator Gilbert NJ Hitchcock ot Ne
hraska Homer Cummings and scre-
