His Theory and Practice During a school tea a kindly lady sat regarding one of the young guests with evident alarm.

Going up to the urchin she said: "My boy, have you ne?ver read an> book which would tell you what to eat, what to drink and what to avoid?" "Why, bless yer, ma'am," replie-. the young gentleman, with his mouth full of cake, "I don't want no book. It's very simple. I eats all I can, I i drinks all I can, an' I avoids bustin'." ?London News. He Could. A man walked into a barber shop ana removed nis nat and coat, lie was evidently in a hurry. "Can you shave me if I do not remove my collar?"he asked, impatientiy. "Yes, sir," said the obliging barbej. The man took his seat in the chair, and the barber prepared for business. As he surveyed his customer he noted that the hair had all gone from the top of his head and that his hirsui'te adornement was limited to a fringe of hair above his neck. Then the barber spoke, as he drew the cloth around his customer's neck and fastened it at the back: "And I think I could cut your hair if you did not remove your hat."?Columbus Disnatch.

I i a ONLY SON IS LEFT s AFTER MAN'S ACT Aurebach Kills Wife, Daughtera and 5 Self?Wholesale Destruction of j New York Family is Not I Detected for Hours. j New York, Jan. 31.?Armed with ^ a magazine rifle equipped with a j. silencer, Herman Aurebach, a wealthy real estate operator, despondent over ^ financial reverses, to-day shot and ^ killed his wife and two daughters.as ^ they slept and then killed himself, j His son, Lester, a high school stu- ^ dent, was the only member of the ^ family left alive. ^ So completely did the silencing de- ^ vice muffle the reports of the weapon that the tragedy was not discovered j until several hours later, when the j son found under his door a note from ( his father requesting him to tele- j phone relatives. The quadruple kill- j ing took place in an exclusive apari.- <. ment house on Central park, west. j Coroner Feinburg, after an inves- <; tigation, stated that Auerbach evidently had planned the tragedy for j several days and had executed it witt. ^ calm deliberation. The son inform-, j ed the coroner that his father had rj brought the rifle home nine days ago. c A maid in the Aurebach home, who ^ had not been disturbed by the shoot- c ing, arose as usual but made no effort ^ to call the family until 10 o'cIock, when, failing to get response from the others, she aroused Lester. The _ boy found under his door a note in f his father's writing, which read: v "When you wake up telephone v Uncles Leopold and Joe Levy and ^ grandpa." d The boy went to his father's room, where he found his father and n mother dead in their beds, between ^ which lay the ri'fle. Going into the r rnnm nf Viic fwn el cfnvc Vin fmin m Beatrice, aped 18, and Daisy, two years younger, dead too, with the s bed clothinp tucked about them and 0 drawn over their heads. The boy j followed his father's instructions, ^ notifyinp the relatives as well as the ^ police. He then broke down and became frantic. The coroner found on a desk in t Aurebach's room four empty cartridpe shells of heavy calibre, apparently ejected from the rifle after each shot. Inasmuch as the fourth bul- j let was that which Aurebach endeu r his own life, the coroner could not j understand how all four shells haa been picked up, but finally decided j that the son mipht have found the fourth and placed it with the others J without realizinp what he was doinp. , Until a few years apo Aurebach hat! ^ been a member of a New York candy T firm, from which he retired to devote ' his attention to real estate. A few ^ months apo, it is said, his property . was valued at nearly $1,000,000.

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD )arling I am growing oij^ Silver threads anions the gold, Shine upon my brow today, Jfe is fading fast away. Jut my darling you will be VIways young and fair to me; fes, my darling you will be Vlways young and fair to me. Vhon your hair is silver white, V.nd your cheeks no longer bright, Vith the roses of the May, will kiss your lips and say; )h! My darling, mine alone, alone fou have never older grown, fes, my darling, mine alone, fou have never older grown. -ove can nevermore grow old, ^ocks may lose their brown and gold, Cheeks may fade and hollow grow, Jut the hearts that love will know Jever, never, winter's frost and chill; Summer warmth is in them still, "lever winter's frost and chill, Summer's warmth is in them still. iOve is always young and fair; Vhat to us is silver hair, 'aded cheeks or steps grown slow, [*o the hearts that beat below? Since I kissed you then alone, alone, fou have never older grown; Since I kissed you then alone, fou have never older grown. Since the above has sprung into lopularity again, the following taken rom a Philadelphia paper in 1911 vill be of interest, especially to those vho hold tender memories in regard o this old song of more than three [ecades ago: Hart P. Danks, who composed the nusic of "Silver Threads Among the Jold," was found dead yesterday norning in his room at the house vhere heboarded, 1210 Race street. Almost to his last breath Danks ang the plaintive notes of the moldy which has endured for .10 years. 3ivas has rendered it before disinguished audiences in all narts of he world; it has been hummed and chistled by two generations; an<\ anks as one of the best old songs hat were produced by the school of mtive American composers, amonp vhom Danks occupied a hiph rank. Mrs. (J. S. Hallman, Dank's land* ady, heard the old man at the orpan n Thursday nipht. He had been ail np and seemed to enjoy playinp and inpinp some of his compositions. Dank's frequently told Mrs. Hallman >f his affections for "Silver Threads Vmonp the Gold," and a day or two tpo commented with pleasure to his 'ri'end, Richard 11. Kayser. a music mhlisher at. 214 North 13th street, >n the fact that his royalties from ;he sale of the sonp were preater his than last. "I'm proud of my 30-year old >aby," he said. Fond of the Last Verse Three or four times Dank's sunp 'Silver Threads Amonp the Gold" on Thursday nipht, repe?.tinp the last .rerse: ,ove is always younp and fair, What to us is silver hair, Faded cheeks or steps prown slow To the hearts that boat below? Since I kissed you then alone, alone, i'ou have never older prown; Since I kissed you then alone, Tou have never older prown. Dank's was lyinp by the side of his 3ed when TVIrs. Hallman entered th" room yesterday morninp. On the music rack of the orpan was a copy of 'Silver Threads Amonp the Gold." Pencil marks were scored above the final stanza. "He must have been thinkinp of his own troubles," said Mr. Kayser 'esterday. MAN PAROLED BY BLEASE IS CAUGHT ROBBING STORE Greenville, Feb. 1?Blythe Freeman, who was paroled from a 10-year sentence by Governor Blease, April 15 last, was captured by Call Officer Posey while in the act of robbinp the store of Smith Brothers, on Buncombe and Parker street. The affair occurof O 1? :? I ?vu uw U u viuta kiatuiuay IIIUI I1III, while the officer was out scouring about the town on his motorcycle. He found Freeman in the store behind the counter and entered, pointing his pistol in the face of the man he or dered him to stand and hold up his hands. Officer Posey was alone, and he was somewhat put on his nerve when the burglar said, back into the darkness of the store: "Come on Frank, they've got us!" The officer did not know that an-1 other burglar was in the store, ano hence as he was alone he realized that he might be in a close place with two men, both likely armed; but he held his nerve and held the one burglar he had captured and explored the rest ol the store, liy using the telephone he summoned aid and soon had lights and assistance. It was found that Freeman was alone. He was locked up in the city jail until yesterday later in the morning and sometime about noon was moved to the county jail, as he will have to be tried in the court of general sessions.
