GROWING OLD

Mare Cook. in Indianapolis News. Al six I well remember when fancied all folks old at ten. But when I'd reached my first
 decade.
 Fifteen appeared more truly staid But when the fifteenth round I'd
 run,
 I thought none old til twenty-one Then oddly when I'd r,sched that
 age,
 held that thirty made folks sage. But when my thirtieth year was told said :"At two-score men grow old r Yet. tw0-seere came and found me
 thrifty
 But when reached that age swore None could be old until thrce-seore And here l am at sixty now, As young AS when at six, trow, lis true these rogues about my
 knee
 Say "Grandpaw when they speak
 10 me:
 Bat, bless your soul, I'm young as
 when
 thought all peopss old al ten Perhaps s little wiser grown Perhaps some old illusions flown; But vond'ring still. while years
 have rolled,
 When is it that man grows old7
