Old People
BY NORA COLE SKINNER

There is no sadder sight to view
than an old father or mother shift
ed from one chlld's home to another,
not wanted by any, and the old peo-
PIE knowing 1t and their old hearis
breaking.
There was dear old man OF so,
educated and refined, both amlable
and proud, who l knew to suffer
such a tragedy. Tie had a son and
II daughter. both with families OF
their own. but the wife OF the son
argued that II was a daughter 5
duty to care for a parent In his in
flrmity, and the husband of the
daughter contended that 1t was a
sons duty to support the old man.
The children weakly dallied, when
great nephew through another
line approached the dropping figure
and said
"Uncle Andrew. come with me,
I'll give you a home as long as you
live"
And the trembling old man bowed
his head and cried:
mo. / ought to be dead, l ought
to be dead"
ANY of them would welcome death
rather than feet they are In the
way-hut they cannot die until they
/ are called.
Yes, we see sad sighta every day,
/ but the one we see most frequently
and the one we help the least is the
/ old man ar old woman right In our
/ midst.
! We all recognize that they are lit
! tie moro than children, and yet we
do not treat them with the same
/ love and care that we do a child.
| Many of them have had l!yos full OF
! the noblcst sacrifices, many have
4 given all to their children only TO
/ be turned out on the street or into
an old soldiers home" many have
/ struggled their three score years
! and ten and have been able to ar
/ rive nowhere except TO come up in
! their old age at the door of poverty
over and over again We hear OF
| different ones adopting little chill
dren and we think how generous
and splendid. ! think 1t splendid
| too. and | take no credit away trom
, them, but they cannot do this for
Sthe child's good alone, they cannot
be wholly trying 70 help another
else they would not always contint
their act TO little ones.
| | never heard of a soul adopina

Lately l read suggestion that all
people over 70--the age that they
are allowed to register to vote free
be admitted to state fairs free. 1t
was a thoughtful proposal.
No greater debt we owe than to
the old people about us. They have
done all they can do; we must do
for them In the future. 1'te partici-
pants in the civil war are dying at
the rate of 100 n day. So fast they
go last 70--and every little courtesy.
every little Difference. every little
material assistance TO the aged,
must move proportionately.
And II ingratitude has gone so far
that they are not wanted in the
homes OF their children or no chill
dren exist 20 claim them, they
should be welcomed into home OF
their own. an "Old Peoples home"
that IS truly and earnestly haven.
In Washington city there is such
a home that every old lady in that
section asp!res to go TO. They are
not treated as outcasts. they are not
made to feel charity is taking care
OF them. II ia as though they have
graduated" into it, achieved It,
They are made to think It is their
home. their right. They have as
snciates their own age. They have
their callers, their parties, and live
the happy, peaceful life they de-
serve. Two or three times a year
the president Of the United States
calls on their "at home" days, and
adds that much more TO their life.
We should have more happy
homea for the old people. Not out
Of charity, that thoughV Is madden
ing 10 them, but out Of love and
gratitude.
Some say their lie ls all in the
last. Gauge Il by your own. Life
to one and all is just as vital, Just
| aa precious now as ten or 20 years
ago. Their life is just like yours or
mine---unul death.

ordered and managed by Margaret.
l had absolutely nothing 10 say as
to what l should do, where to go,
what to spend, save occasionally
when Margaret was either away

to further her own desiEes, chose to
be rid Of me for few hours.
Keith was called away suddenly.
He would be gone about ten days.
