When Are The Periods Of Youth,
Middle Age and Old AGE?

When Are The Periods OF Youth,
Middle Age and Old Age7
Ralph Waldo Urine, In an article
entitled when Is Youth-What At
ter YOUTH" in the Woman's Home
Companion, brings out the power of
the mind to keep the body young
and vigorous. In the following ex-
tract from his article he touches on
this point and also indicates the di-
visions between youth. middle age and
old age:
"That we. have It in our power to
determine our physical and bodily
conditions to a far greater extent
than we do is an undeniable fact.
That we have 1t In our power to de-
termine and to dictate the conditions
CT old age to marvellous degree
is also an undeniable fact--if we are
sufficiently keen and sufficiently
Gw@ke to begin early enough.
IF any arbitrary divisions of the
various periods of life were allow
able. | should make the enumeration
as follows: Youth, barring the per ID
OF babyhood, to forty-fye. nif 10
age, forty-five to sixty; approachin;
age. sixty to seventy live, old age
seventy-hve to ninety-f1ye and hum
dred.

likewise great army of both men and
women who along about middle age.
say from forty-fye to sixty, break
and, as we say, all of sudden go
to pieces, and many die, just at the
period when they should be in the
prime of life, in the full yigor OF
manhood and womanhood and of
greatest value to themselves, to their
families, and to the world, is some
thing that is contrary to nature. and
Is one OF the pitiable conditions OF
our time A greater knowledge, a
little foresight, a little care in time
could prevent this in the great ma
jority of cases, in ninety cases out of
every one hundred without question"

Even scott's Son Didn't Know Who
Wrote the WaverIy Novels.
A Scotch newspaper having refer
red to the old story that Walter
Scott. son of the great novelist, had
never read his fathers novels, the
Dunfermline Court Journal reprints
letter that first appeared in its
columns on September II, 1889. It
was signed "Veritas," and the writer,
says: From 1910 to 1888 resided
IN Edinburgh and was on intimate
terms with Walter Scott Sitting to-
gether one winter evening several
years before his father made the
famous declaration at the theatrical
fund dinner held in the assembly
rooms of Edinburgh that he was the
author Of the Waverly novels, l put
the following questions to my friend:
do you not really and truly be-
lieve your father to be the author
of the Waverley novels. or who do
you suppose the author to be?"
His answer was: I have really
no idea who the author Is. Il my
father is the author he keeps the
secret to himself, for none of his
family knows
And then he added The moment
a new novel (by the author of Wav-
erley) is announced my father orders
a copy from his bookseller. and the
whole family assemblies in the par
lor in the evening to hear the novel
read by myself and my sisters. each
taking a turn
HE further added, When anything
very droll or funny occurs in the
reading of the novel my father joins
most heartily IN the laugh, perhaps
more so than any of the family"

WOMAN NOW ENTERS CASE
Sweetheart of Man Involved in Kccn- an Case is Latest Person to he Quizzed by Police.

New York. April 2.--A woman is the newest central figure in police pursuit to clues of solution of the mystery of the murder of Dorothy Keenan who was chloroformed to death score of days ago.
 It was learned today the police had for some time been trailing the sweet heart of man who for several days has been under suspicion chiefly be- cause he has been unable to account for his actions for the hours between midnight preceding the murder and s o'clock the next morning.
 The woman, they said was being trailed in the hope that she might attempt to dispose of some of the jewels or other articles that were stolen from the models West 57th street apartment. She already has been interviewed by the police having provided the suspected man with an alibi for the hours before and after the murder with the exception of the eight that still remain unexplained.
 The suspect is believed to have known the slain model intimately the authorities said. They are now work ing on the theory that blackmail led to the girls murder and that the rob- bery was an aftermath.
