YOuth-time greatness is no eXcep-

nize the power and grandeur. of her
young manhood. Men, in the vigOr-
GUS prime of life. have always been
in the forefront. The world is young
and always will be. A backward
look through the worlds biography
is refreshing:
Alexander conquered the world a

Charlmagne was master of France
and Germany at &c.
COrtez conquered Mexico at 26.
Oitt was premier of England at &c.

 Get What We Deserve

 "If things continue as they are I will pc obliged to ask for help as I am past my 77th birthday. ] will be able 10 get along a bit longer by using my principal. But am not contributing anything for others.
 "There are people who are re. ceiving aid now that had twice the income we had and they told my husband and myself that we were fools to save while we were young and not have good time then. Now where are they?
 "I hold that the younger shou;d d save for old age although a few will need old age pensions through no fault Of theirs. would suggest that the bill help only those who have made an effort to save for their old age.
 My belief is that we get in most cases what we deserve. This is not n sermon but just suggestion for thought"
