The Girl That's Over Sixty

There Is beauty in a schoolgirl,
With her fascinating wiles;
There's attraction in a lady.
With her tender kindly smiles;
There is loyeliness in mothers
That no son will e'er forget;
But the girl that's over sixty,
Is the flower of all we've met.
Mid the pains of care and sorrow
1T il easy to grow old;
Trouble leaves no room for beauty,
Shadows follow those who scold.
But the ones who're looking forward
To the coming realm of joys
Will find gladness in advancement
They'll remain glad girls and boys.
There are those who fret and worry
They're the ones who're bent with age
There are those who race and hurry
They print cares upon life's page.
But the one with spirit youthful,
Scattering sunshine all around
Still a girl. when over sixty
She's the brightest flower we've found

Find a Mummifled Dinosaur.

The vast ice fields Of Siberia have in
many instances acted as the natural
cold storage plant for the preservation
of the flesh of the mammoth, this pre-
historic cousin of the elephant having
been dug out of his chilly grave intact
ON numerous occasions. It has always
been supposed. however, that this was
the only instance in which anything
more than the bare bones of the fauna
of past geological epochs had come down
to us. Doubtless the mammoth will
continue to stand longer unapproachpd
