Age Not Mere Matter
of Passage of Year,


It is an old saying that woman 10
as old as she looks and a man is as old
as he feels. Women who take an In
terest In life never look old, being full
of gaiety and animation, and men who
take an interest In life never feel old
FOR the same reason. Actually, age is
more matter of mind than body, for
swift, flying mind keeps the body
young, whereas swift, flying body
won't keep the mind young unless the
wits are exercised and the pleasant
emotions Of life given full play.
II anyone dlsbelleves me, merely
point to the life statistics of insurance
companies, which prove that country
clergyman has far better expectation
Of life than the most highly exercised
physical training instructor. The coun-
try clergyman leads quiet, useful life,
takes deep interest In his fellow crea-
lures, has a good conscience. and exer-
cises his mind. The physical training
instructor may have an equally good
conscience but he concentrates on the
exercise Of his body; with the passing
Of years his wits begin to creak and
suddenly he finds himself an old man
In spite Of all those long-arm balances
and somersaults. ,..
In short, If your years number eighty
and you still want to live forever, you
are young. II your years number
twenty-five and you wouldn't care If
you were bumped off tomorrow, you
are old.-London Tit-Bits.

No Law Forbidding the
Holding of Two Offices

1t would not be illegal or unconstI-
tutional for person to All two posts
in the Presidents cabinet at the same
time, says Pathfinder Magazine. In
fact, during the early days of the Re-
public, 1t was not uncommon for a
cabinet officer to act temporarily as
head Of an executive department other
than his own. For instance, James
Monroe served for time In President
Madison's cabinet as both secretary of
war and secretary of state. John Mar
shall was chief justice of the Supreme
court and secretary of state at the
same time. He was secretary Of state
under President Adams when he was
appointed chief Justice and the Presi-
dent authorized him to continue his
duties as secretary of state until JEFF
Persons inauguration. month later.
That Is the only time that the two
highest appolntive offices of the fed
eral government have been filed by
one man at the same time. Legally
Marshall could have drawn salaries for
both positions, but he refused to accept
more than one and his salary as sec
rotary Of state remained unpaid.

Unlawful Distruction OF Game.

l wish to call the attention of the public
to the law as provided in paragraph F of
Section 20 of Article 80. Public Laws of
Maryland. which is as follows:
ut shall be unlawful for any person to
allow any dog or dogs belonging to them
to run at large on other property than that
owned or tenanted by them between March
LIST and September lst and pursue game or
destroy the eggs or nests thereof.
Amy person harboring a dog or dogs
shall be termed the lawful owner of same"
The penalty for violation is provided in
paragraph G of Section 20 of Article 80
and provides fine of not less than twenty
five ($25.0O dollars nor more than one
hundred $4,000 dollars and costs for
each and every offense and five ($S.0O)
dollars additional for each game bird or
game animal caught OR killed illegally.
The Department, at this season Of the
year. is receiving complaints by phone and
letters daily of dogs running at large pur-
suing and destroying game. applying espe-
cially to rabbits. 1t is very detrimental
to our game supply and especially to rabbits
during the pFopagatins season, to allow
dogs to pursue same. A mother rabbit has
very little chance to escape pursuing dogs
and in great many cases the entire family
is destroyed. Dogs also dig ouuthousands of
small rabbits from their nests and destroy
them.

By this time dozen police surrounded

difficulty protecting their prisoner.
At last they got away. ...
At police headquarters they identified
him as Paul Gouguloff. a Russian physi.

Meanwhile. back in the exhibition room

II you visit the exhibition of French
pictures at Burlington house, London,
you may see the four portions Of the

For years II was not known what

Eventually II was found that the Sec

undoubtedly form one picture.
The first occasion since the artist
