Eliot Declares Women of To-
Day- Dress Indecently.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 4.-The man.
ners and customs of modern society
are deteriorating because of the too
great freedom between young peo-
pie, declared DR.. Charles w. Eliot,
professor of Harvard, addressing a
BODY of Unitarian women today. DIR.
Eliot said that the dress of the pres
emit day women would have been
characterized as indecent by the Wo-
men of past generations.
"When I was boy,". DR.. Eliot
said, ''no young man would dare take
a Young woman out riding in, bug
gy and then begin to smoke. Those
dances held in Boston society when
champagne was used freely were
looked at indifferently. Then look at
the way women dress as seen on bos-
ton streets. They wear clothing in
such a way that our mothers of the
past generation would have put down
as indecent. These young women
have no desire to be indecent. They
wear what they do because it is fash
ionable. Then again you see matron-
ly women going along, their carnage
the turning of their eyes and other
winning ways make them objects OF
remarks. 4,o+
at has been my observation that
the manners of the common average
individual are higher than the man
ners of those higher and more es-
teemed in the social circles"

Old People Die Periodically,

For many years / have noticed that
old people die periodically. Some
years very few old people die, and
at times quite number die in a
short while. Since last March TWEEN
ty people have died within twelve
mile S of Johnston, and eighteen Of
that number were over slxty-five
years of age, nine were between
seventy and eighty two years old
when they died. Fourteen of this
number were my special friends in
nv young manhood. have lost two
sisters-in-law this year, one died
June 26th, the other July 14th.
For some time I have been taking
my bearings, down the old roads THAI
/ used to travel when a boy. These
old roads always give one peculiar
charm. Their associations cause US
to think of the past. So l think 1t a
good thing to travel these old roads,
it will be journey worth while. At
times we must stop, go back, and
a trip down the old roads, for they
are avenues that lead US from man.

And as I begin my journey back
along the old trail with so many OF
the best people that lived in those.
good old days, find that am almost
entirely alone. And I begin to feel
lonesome, but love to go back over
these old roads that I travelled sew
enty years ago.
We travel the old road back to
where we first saw the light, where
mother first taught us how to pray,
this is where we remember our first
Christmas and Santa Claus. So many
happy associations cluster about
these old trails with dear friends that
have long since gone to their re-
ward.
There are living today only about
ten, in all this section, who grew up
with me, nearly all the links are
broken in the chain.
zone by one the links are breaking,
Shorter grows my friendship chain;
But those links that are remaining
True and firm hold just the same.
AS I draw them close about me,
Each one worn from holding fast,
Lovingly l press them gently y;
Thinking o'er the vanished past.
Links there are so worn and bended
Like a wire of thin gold;
Almost broken from long holding,
Dearer still from being old.
All the links are precious metal,
All been tried and proved true,
Some have been worn since child
hood isping,
Some have brilliance almost new.
My friendship chain is clasped
about me,
Long it's lain close to my breast;
AS the links fall softly from it,
Closer still I draw the rest.
Thousands could not buy it from
Made by joy and love and pain,
And / count myself "Croesus" \
While I own my friendship chain"

When the stomach fails to perform
