Her hair is as white as 1 snow, but in her eyes there burns the flre and vim of youth. 2 12 She has worked hard all her life and has saved quite a X J sum ?* money- **er Pe?Ple are anxious that she should stop |mn m| working and live comfortably on her savings for the rest of her days; but she says she is too young to give up work yet IltlMim for a wh"eSo she trots cheerfully about the kitchen. She is a cook, and makes the beet pies in the country. She has a keen sense of humor, and her laugh rings out a dozen times a day as gay and merry as a girl's. She likes to have young people about her, "For," she says, "Sure, Miss, "we are all young together, and do be having a One time." Dear little old woman! Her heart is as sweet and pure and kindly as a baby's, and that is what keeps her so young. Time cocld not have the heart to do other than deal gently with her. . v~. wui kii &e?y young, ii you keep from getting into a rut and keep your interest in people and things alive. Gray hairs and wrinkles will come, but it is the spirit that really keeps you young. If your heart gets dried and old it will show in your face, for the eyes are the windows of the soul and the truest index to your character. If you are an unmarried woman, don't sink into the typical old maid existence. Don't be kittenish. Nothing is more objectionable than the kittenish worn sc. But keep young. Keep abreast with the times. Be interested in young people and their 4otngs, and don't withdraw yourself into a shell of reserve. Go out and visit your friends, and if you have ailments, keep them to yourself. Doat get into one way of doing things and Imagine that your way is the only way; and don't fall to appreciate a joke, even when it is at your own xpense. Look for the sunshine of life, for nothing so preserves youth as cheer, fulness. The mere fact that you are over 50 need not make you an old man or woman. If you take care of yourself and live sensibly, getting plenty of sleep and fresh air, you will be able to hold Father Time at bay for yeara Train vonrself tn t?Vo ? ?'?? ? * . ? ? non ui mc. uoni worry over trifles, and don't lose your temper. Frowns are great wrinkle builders.

If they think that they will benefit anybody by tell^ "W T ing a man that he must either marry or pay a tax, I think that they are badly mistaken. In the first place, why are there bachelors? Do they _________ exist Just for the fun of the thing, because they don't want a home, because they wont to be different from other people or because they can live cheaper in that state? I think not. The main reasons they don't marry are twofold: First, they cannot afford to keep a wife, and second, most of the marriageable women are not fit to become wives. Why can't they afford to keep a wife? Simply because the various trades are so overrun with female labor that the man hasn't a chance,to earn a man's wages. A woman's sphere is the home, a man's sphere is business. Why are most of the marriageable women unfit to become wives? I am mu m uuu v uiuw. it. uciuuui/ iau l me man s iauu tou a woman doesn't know how to sew, cook, made a bed correctly, and in fact keep a house in th* way a house should be kept. Svery man likeB to have a home, a place where he may rest from his labors, a wife and children to welcome him. Give a man a decent position and a woman who knows how to run a home and he will get married every time. * * * * f Felling a G Tree f A By Clifton Johnson ^ >? ? ??

Two hundred feet Is a ?o?i?+.na very moderate height, and some shoot up to above three hundred. The fall of one of the monsters when the woodsmen have cut through its base is something appalling. As the tree begins to give the sawyers hustle down from their perch and seek a safe distance. Then they look upward along the giant column and listen. "She's workin' all the time," says one. "Yes," agrees the other, "you can hear her talkin';" and he gives a loud cry of "Timber!" to warn any fellow laborers who may be in the neighborhood. The creaking and snapping increase, and the tree swings slowly at first, but soon with tremendous rapidity, and crashes down through the forest to the earth. There is a flying of bark and broken branches, and the air is filled with slow-settling dust. The men climb on the prostrate giant and walk along the broad pathway of the trunk to see how it lies. What pigmies they seem amid the mighty trees around! The ancient and lofty forest could wall look down on them and despise their short-lived insignificance; yet their persistence and ingenuity are irresistible, and the woodland Is doomed.?
