Judge Med. Livesey
Draws Good Boost

'uuSc u. MCD. IlNeSAy OF lAhke-
side, whose smiling countcnance and
husky form are familiar to the peo-
pie of jefferson county, where he
has lived for good many years,
drew a nice write-up in the Denver
Express last week. That the judges
old friends and neighbors around
Arvada may see him as he is seen by
the Express, the Enterprise reprints
below just what that newspaper had
to say:
By HARRY TARVlN.
Visualize a man 75 years Of age
and what is the picture?
More than likely an ancient, de-
crepit individual with -whiskers,
sunken jowls, toothless gums and
chronic gout. And no interest in
life.
We bring forward for your inspec-
ton Judge j. Mcdowell Livcsay, law
yer, amateur gardener, student Of
modern Jurisprudence and whale
of an athlete.
Has Fivs-Year.Old.
Moreover, he is the father Of .
five-year old child, Jimmy, whom he
believes is the finest specimen Of
boyhood that ever trod the Garth.
Rarely he misses u days work.
Any time you see fit, you may stroll
into his offices in the Quincy build
ing and find him ready to handle
your legal difficulties. He is more
benign patriarch than n lawyer.
Couples confronted with apparently
insoluble marital difficulties have
gone to him with their troubles, az
serting the only way to sever the
matrimonial knot was legal action in
the divorce court, but in most cases
they depart with their misunder
standings happily adjudicated, with
out recourse to the judiciary.
1t is common report among old
time politicians that Judge Livesay
might have been governor Of Colo
RADIO but for the fact that he was
never politically ambitious-snd his
deplorable custom Of charging such
low price for his legal services that
he was unable to sustain the expense
Of a political campaign.
The judge can out-walk, out-run
and Outright the average man so
years his junior. And that statement
isn't hyperbole, a. any one who
knows him can testify.
Champion Csmpss.Out.
He is the champion catch-as- catch
can camper of Colorado. On the
slightest excuse he will seek the soil
tude of the hills, with the lightcst
camp equipment. He can, and does,
sleep outdoors with only the barcst
protection against the elements.
Every summer he pitches his tent
on Lookout mountain, beneath the
myriad stars overhead and near II
site that ovcrlooks miles Of the plain
below. simply to renew old memories
and recall the good old days that
were.
Judge Livesny has been resident
of the state since lS75-thc yen,
Colorado was admitted To the Union
as "a state.
For years he prncticcd law in Cen
trnl City, Colo. in the mining boon
in that region, moving ut last to Den
yer for certain advantages that woult
accrue 10 his family.
He intends to live forever, he snyi
and he may. for he seems aa age
less as the mountains in the distance
No Rules for Longevity.
He has no rules for longevity and
hcal'h-cxccpt those you have al
heard before. He doesn't ban smok
ing, he isn't a faddiRt of any kind
he has no rulc-of thumb advice fol
living your life. But he does adyo
cate cont.ntmont, and lots Of it. u
you don't find it in your present
work or hobby. then search until yol
find that which does afford you men
tai pence.
Judge Livcsay believes life Is nr
opportunity-not nm obligation.
