ON LIVING LIFE BACKWARDS.

Somebody once said that IL he
could have sat in at the creation.
he would have done three things
differently: He would have designed
mans knee joint so that he could
Kick as well forward as backward,
thereby increasing his powers Of at
tack and resistance; he would have
made health contagious instead Of
disease; and then he would have
done something else which was
equally bright. but which can't re-
member. l wonder if II is the same
thing which I have thought Of.
namely, that instead of putting old
age at the end Of our span Of life.
arranging it to come at the begin
ming so that the longer we would
live, the younger we would grow.
and the knowledge and experience
which makes It possible to enjoy life
would come at a time when we
would have the youth to enjoy it.
The present system is all wrong.

absolutely senseless and having TO
spend the first 60 years of its life

and then dying off just when it be-
gins to know something, and the
next generation coming .'long and
doing it al over again, only worse.
It's the darnedest arrangement /
have ever heard OF.
Think how much better It would
be if we were all born so years old,
say, and then after living 40 years.
instead of being 40 years old we
would only be 20, but we would
have all the experience of 40. In
stead OF looking forward to 90 more
years of having 10 vote for a lot q

FAILURES.

FAILURES.
There are several kinds OF failure.
There's the kind men notice most
And it haunts them in their business
like an ever-present ghost:
But to fail in some endeavor that is
launched for selfish gain
Is a temporary setback and may
never leave a stain,
While the hurt which cuts more
deeply and forget we never can.
Is 10 have our honor tested and
then fail TO play the man.
Worse than any business failure IS
the failure to be true.
To fail in kindly service when the
chance is given you.
There is no regret so bitter. when
the past you look upon.
As 20 know you've kept your roses
;till the friend Is dead and gone;
And there isn't any failure quite 60
difficult 10 bear
However goes the battle. as the
failures TO be fair.
The bitterest sort OF failure ISM
missing wealth or fame
For a man may err and blunder and
still keep an honored name,
And a man may fail in conquest and
still be a loyal friend
And find his life successful when it's
written 20 the end;
But the failures that cut deepes.
when our book OF deeds we scar
Are the mean and petty failures
when we've failed 70 play the
