W. W. CAIN. Among the peculiar things, which are not at all unusual: nearly every body had a radio, and practically all the farms were mortgaged, and not quite half of the heads of the families (including men) had regular jobs, and the number of really very poor people who had nothing except themselves and the children was astounding. My wife gave in her age which showed that she wag exactly 4 years older than she was 10 years ago and if she keeps on fighting off longevity, it won’t be long till she’ll be entirely too young to be an old man’s wife. The lady who took us had a pretty ha^l time getting in our house: The qpildren mistook her for an agent of some kind while the “head” decided that she wasn’t anything hut a bill collector, and the hell simply did not ring loud enough. But I am not worrying about being so aged. My grandpas lived to be 80 and were it not for automobiles and high taxes and past due notes, I hon estly believe that I will live to be at least 62, unless I die between now and then. I am fairly happy, but things don’t suit me like they useter, for in stance: the girls of the community don’t seem to be interested in my new tie or my freshly shined shoes and the women that are as old as I am are en tirely too old to suit me. . « ' Little St. Eustatlus Island In the Dutch West Indies gave retuge to American ships during the Revolution.

When a fellow reaches the age of 48, he likes for folks to tell him that he is in his prime, but nobody tell* him that except some other guy that is about 50. He may be in his prime, but he’d better be careful how he trots up the stairs or runs a foot race with the kids. At 42, his dentist plugs 4 or 5 of hi 3 jaw teeth and he has the pleasure of pulling those teeth out, plugs and all, in about 15 months and then comes the plate or the bridge and bankruptcy, that is, unless his dentist will sell him on the installment plan. And at 43, the old bird has to buy two pairs of specks, 1 pair to read with and an other pair to lock at short dresses with. When 44 comes, fatness begins to show itself under his chin and his neck starts to kok like the neck of a turkey gobbler. His hair has just about all been rubbed cut with hair tonics when 46 overtakes him and his jaws show signs of becoming sunken.
