- To Prolong Life.
When the vital force begin to flag,
tLe marks of age show themselves.
Come men, being of an amiable, cheer
ful, and lively temperament, suppress
these marks until well advanced In
life, and are 20 years younger, both
physically end mentally, than other
men of the same age. We may take it,
therefore, that old age doe not begin
-at any fixed period so fat as the di
visions, of time divide the periods of
life, but is influenced by that subtle
agent known as vital energy. The
indications of old age are closely
shown; the weight of years is mani
fested by the bent figure, the want of
elasticity in the walk, the wrinkles in
the cheek3 and forehead. The typical
healthy person who attains old age is
spare of body, and old age emphasizes
this fact by causing a paucity of adi
pose tissue. We note that a diminution
of the physical energy is accompanied
by a corresponding diminution of the
power to eliminate waste material
from the body, Kays the New York
Weekly. Elasticity and strength give
place to hardness and dryness of near
ly all the tissues of the body. The
general health may be good, because
there is a harmonious balance be
tween the r.ction of the nervous sys
tem and the circulatory system. Per
sons who have reached an advanced
age may prolong their lives and great
ly add to the comfort of their declin
ing years by diminishing the quantity
of food by taking it more frequently
and in smaller amounts, and by par
taking of only easily digested food,'
thereby avoiding too large a residue of
waste matter.
The Danger of Smoke.
The pity of it is that the evils which
come from smoke are all preventable.
Smoke-consumers exist which have
proved their worth. Due care in run
ning fires will do much. No more fuel
Is required under careful management,
to produce combustion which shall be
practically smokeless. Those state
ments have been proved over and over
again. It Is a matter of community
supervision, of laws rightly framed
and fearlessly administered. For
tunately inspection Is by no means a
difficult matter. One city, for ex
ample, handles that problem by means
of a chart holding six pictures of a
chimney above a factory, the first of
which shows the chimney with no
smoke, the second with a light smoke
issuing, the other four showing greater
and blacker volumes. The first condi
tions are passable. The last are dan
gerous. The inspector takes a photo
graph of any questionable chimney
and compares it with the standard pic
tures The comparison tells the story,
declares Hollis Godfrey, in Atlantic.
The factory is pronounced "passed,"
or tho owner is warned to immediately
conform to the regulations under
penalty of the law.
r-
t Uncle Sam's Bookkeeping.
Tbe suggestion by Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou that a better and
simpler method of keeping accounts
be adopted in his department, and his
showing that with the matter clearly
stated it would he seen that the last
fiscal year ended with a surplus rather
than a deficit, has attracted attention
and approval. The people are not in
terested In the intricacies of bookkeep
ing. But they do want to know just
now the government stands. The
New York Journal of Commerce, in
dorsing thut part of the proposition
which would involve reform in ac
counts, says: "If with this reorgani
sation of the accounting system and
daily statement there could be cou
pled, as seems to be hinted from
Washington, some mode of better fis
cal control, the present secretary of
the treasury would have made a sub
stantial contribution to the public
service through his headship of tbe
department." The United States
Bhould be up to date in this matter,
and congress should provide the neces
sary legislation.
Curiosities in legislation are by no
means confined to American repre
sentative bodies. The staid British
parliament is soberly considering a
bill which proposes to shove the
hands of the clock ahead in the spring
and summer months of the year, so
workers may begin their toil an hour
earlier than at present, and so gain an
extra hour of daylight for recreation.
Hut why cannot all that, if actually de
sirable, be accomplished without leg
islation? New York is trying to suppress un
necessary noises. This can never be
accomplished as long as actors are
permitted to stroll up and down the
III alto telling one another about the
salaries they received last year and
the parts that are now being written
for them.
Underfeeding in London has be
come a fad. There has long been a
popular impression with regard to the.
English metropolis that it was a :t
tletl misfortune.
Those persons who have yet to take
their vacations are happier than those
who have taken theirs. This seems
to prove conclusively that there is
more pleasure in anticipation than In
possession. The debating societies
may as well consider that 'question
settled and pass on to something else.

For Her Father's Sake
By Alban
iCopyright, by ShorUtory Pub. Co.)
Tick! Tick! Tick! Tick! reiterated
:he clock with monotonous persisten
cy, reminding those present that the
:ime for retiring was long since past,
but the old farmer and his daughter
stayed on, regardless of the fleeting
nours. Neither had spoken for fully
30 minutes. The man, reclining In a
ligh-backed chair, was comforting him
self with a black clay pipe, and the
oman sat gazing listlessly into the
fire, an open letter in her hand.
" 'Tis ten years to-night since moth
er died," she remarked, sadly. A sud
den strong gust of wind shook the
door of the outhouse, making it creak
mournfully as it swayed to and fro on
its rusty hinges. The old man stirred
uneasily in his chair, and glanced ner
vously behind him.
"Yes, it's ten years to-night," he re
plied, with an effort to appear at ease.
Both again lapsed into silence. Pres
ently the old man glanced across at
his daughter and said:
"Who did the letter come from,
Mary?"
"From William Dutton, father."
"William Dutton, eh! Why, it's
many a long day since you heard from
him. What's he been doing with him
self since he went away?"
"He wrote to tell me that he's just
been married, father," the woman re
plied, and although she tried to speak
calmly and bravely, a sympathetic ear
would have distinguished the sound of
unshed tears in her tremulous voice.
"Married, eh," the old man remarked
with a chuckle. "Well, well, the Book
says it is not good that a man should
be alone. He was a nice young fellow,
and I trust he has' found a good wom
an." "So do I, father," replied his daugh
ter, very gently.
"Mary."
"Yes, father."
"It has often been a puzzle to me
that you and him never made it up. I
always thought he was kind o' fond
of you, but women's queer creatures;
they let a good man go, and pine after
a fool who doesn't care a button top
for 'em."
The woman made no reply, but hold
ing up the letter, read it through care
fully for a second time.
My pear Mary: I've took you at your
word; you said it was no use waiting:,
and I began to reckon it wasn't, so I
married a little girl I met down here last
year. It was kind of lonesome, coming
back night after night to cold, cheerless
lodgings, with never a soul to smile at
a man, and I'm fond of company, you
know. I tried to bear up and told my
stlf that I had no right to marry an
other woman; if I felt lonesome, why,
you felt lonesome too, and it wasn't
your fault. Then one night coming home
from chapel meeting, all of a sudden I
took hold of her hand and asked her to
marry me. That's how it all happened,
and we were married two weeks ago to
day. She's a kind-hearted little thing and
can't do enough for me.
Good-bye, my dear friend. Don't think
any less of me. My best respects to your
father. Your sincere friend,
WILLIAM DUTTON.
'Mary."
'Yes, father."
"What did you keep him hanging on
lor all those years, if you didn't intend
to marry him? I didn't like to say
"Yes, Father, He Was a Very Good
Man, But I Couldn't Marry Him."
anything about it at the time, but
now it's all past and gone, I must say
you treated him shabby. He was a
good enough man for you, wasn't he?"
The woman's face twitched pain
fully, and she answered in an almost
Inaudible whisper:
"Yes, father; he was a very good
man, but I couldn't marry him, and
that's all about it."
"You couldn't marry him, and, pray,
why not?"
"I just don't want to say any more
about it, father; he's married now, and
there's the eud of the whole business."
"All right, Mary; as you please, as
you please, but the day will come
you won't have any one to look after
you, and as you've been a kind girl
to me, I'd like to see you comfortable
with some good man before before "
The old man stopped abruptly, and
glanced up timidly at his daughter.
But she didn't appear to have heard
what he said, for she sat staring at
the blazing log, ' thinking, thinking,
thinking of the past and of possibili
ties now lost forever.
Five years ago William Dutton had
come to make his last appeal to her to
marry him. He was employed on the
railway and had received a good, ap
pointment in Chicago, and he came
either to obtain her promise to marry
him or to say good-by.
Five years ago! It seemed like five
hundred. How hard he bd striven to
overcome her conviction that to marry
him would be contrary to what she felt
to oe ner duty towaros neriainer.
"Let him come with us," he sid.
E. Ragg
"No; it would break his heart to
leave the old farm; he'd never con
sent," she replied, sadly.
Then William Dutton, driven to des
peration, cried angrily:
"Seems to me he's a selfish old man.
Parents is everlastingly talking about
the duty of children, but they mostly
forget the duty of parents."
"Hush, Will; he never tried to make
me stay. I never even spoke to him
about it. I couldn't, you know, be
cause I promised mother when she
died that I would never leave him
alone."
"Then you have quite made up your
mind, have you?" he said in a strained
voice.
"Yes, Will; but don't speak unkind
ly to me. God knows it's hard enough
to let you go without having you an
gry with me."
And with a sob she laid her head
on his shoulder, and he stroked her
hair and spoke a few kind, gentle
words of affection.
"Mary, I've been a good father tc
you, haven't I?"
"Yes, father, you've always been
good to me," she replied, evidently
surprised at this unusual remark from
her father, who had exacted so much
and given so little in return, but then
he was a lonely old man, and never
meant to be selfish and mean and un
reasonable, she thought.
"I wonder how you'll get along with
out me, Mary," he continued, and his
voice shook perceptibly.
"Hush, father; you must not talk
like that; you'll last for many a long
day yet."
The old man chuckled to himself.
"I wasn't thinking of dying, Mary,"
he replied, significantly.
"That's right, father. Why, you're a
younger man than many a one half
your age," she remarked, cheerfully.
"Do you think so? Do you think
so, daughter?" A look of eager hope
came Into his eyes.
"Of course I do; any one with half
an eye can see that," she said, in a
tone of mild surprise.
"Mary, I've got something I want to
tell you. I've been trying to make up
my mind for the past six weeks, but
I never knowed quite how to do it."
"What is it, father? You are not ill,
are you?" she inquired, anxiously.
"No, daughter; never felt better in
my life."
"By the way, how long is it since
Harry Johnston died?" he asked.
Mary glanced up in astonishment.
"About two years ago," she said.
"What made you think of him, father?"
"I I I was going to to tell you
that I am going to marry Harry John
ston's widow," he blurted out. "I just
wanted to know what you thought of
her."
"Father!" she cried, and her face
lost all its healthy glow. She stood
staring at him in a strange, vacant
manner as though unable to realize
what he meant.
"Well! Well!" he remarked testily.
"What have .you got to say against it?"
"Nothing, fother. Do whatever you
think Is for the best."
Both remained silent for a moment.
The clock struck 11. The old man
got up out of his chair.
"Guess it's time to go to bed," he re
marked. "Yes, father; I reckon it's about
sleeping time," the woman answered,
wearily.
Too Complicated.
Modern household improvements are
appreciated by the initiated, but to the
unenlightened they sometimes prove
discouraging. Mrs. Gordon was show
ing Ina, the new maid, who had agreed
to work for four dollars a week, the
conveniences of her up-to-date kitchen.
"It's a very easy place," explained
the lady, "because I have so many
contrivances for making the work
light.
"Now, here's a new patent bread
mixer; when you're ready to use It
I'll show you how to put It together.
And this Is a splendid meat grinder
It saves hours of labor with the chop
ping knife. Here is a fine apple parer,
that takes the cores out, too." And this
hardwood slab is a wonderful potato
slicer.
"Then," continued Mrs. Gordon
proudly, "I have a patent dish washer,
a percolating coffee pot and an auto
matic ash sifter."
"Meesls," said Ina firmly, "eef I is
hov to spend ail mys time learning
how to make dose fonny t'ings go, I
must hov free dollar a mont' more.
She vor too moch work." Youth's
Companion.
Jockeys' Tricks.
A New York jockey, while packing ur.
to go abroad to look for work, talked.
"There are tricks of two kinds In
jockeying." said he, "the legitimate
and the illegitimate. Use the first and
youll prosper. Use the last and it's
all up.
"Illegitimate tricks are pulling a
race and getting left at the post. If
you once pull a fast horse and make
him lose, you are always afterwards
an object of suspicion, and ten to one.
If you ever pull another horse, you are
done for. But getting yourself left at
the post Is a big and complex subject,
and it is the one trick that a clever
jockey can work time and again with
safety.
"To cause a rival horse to swerve
is an illegitimate trick that often wins
your race. - You cause the swerving by
straightening out your leg so that your
heel .nearly touches the other horse's
nose, or you make a wide slash with
your whip, so that it nearly touches
the other horse's eyes. "
"The legitimate tricks are but why
give them away when it has taken all
my life to learn them?"

chocolate is dissolved. Add one pint
of granulated sugar and stir till it be
gins to boil. Cook three minutes

Grape Gelatine.
Large and individual molds can be
found at the dealers to supply your
needs for making gelatine, blanc
manges, and similar dainties.

looks just like a bunch of luscious
grapes. The fruit may be dropped
Into the jelly before it sets to carry
out this illusion.
Buttered Spinach.
Wash the spinach carefully and cook
in a very little water until tender. It
should cook slowly until the juices
start, and then be finished quickly, as
both bulk and nourishment are wasted
by long cooking. When done, drain,
chop very fine, season to taste, and re
turn to the fire. Stir In two table
spoonfuls of cream and two table
spoonfuls of butter. Serve on buttered
toast as soon as the butter is melted.

Knew Anything About.
A young broker in Boston, while vis

speedily found himself "out of it.';
Presently, during a lull, one young
woman asked him:
"What do ycu think of Fielding, Mr.
Brown?"
"Oh, fielding is important, of course,'
quickly responded the broker, "but
it isn't worth much unless you've got
good pitchers and men who can hit
the ball." Harper's Weekly.

Suffered Torments from Birth In
rightful Condition Got No Help
Until Cuticura Cured Him.
"1 had an itching, tormenting ecze
ma ever since I came into the world,,
and I am now a man 55 years old.
I tried all kinds of medicines I heard
of, but found no relief. I was truly
in a frightful condition. At last I
broke out all over with red and white-,
boils, which kept growing until they
were as big as walnuts, causing great
pain and misery, but I kept from
scratching as well as I could. I was
so run down that I could hardly do
my work. I used Cuticura Soap, Oint
ment, Resolvent, and Pills for aboutv
eight months, and I can truthfully say
I am cured. Hale Bordwell, Tipton
la., Aug. 17, 1907."

Bordwell and know the condition he-
