Roosevelt wanted especial em phas is made upon that. Roosevelt heard this evening pf the attack made upon him in ' "Springfield "this""" afternoon ; by President Taft. A correspondent of the International News 8ervice showed him a telegraphic report of the president's denunciation and Roosevelt read it slowly; The colonel's countenance be trayed no evidence of anger as he read Mr. Taft'r characterisation of him as: '.'too dangerous to be trusted with the' presidency. With equanimity he read the telegraphic report that MMr Tafi, his voice shaking with emotion, warned toe people tnat tnev were in danger t)f a dictator who. ones he received the third term, won Id cling like a leech to the white house and never leave it until death intervened."

" Tlin in two this, Suit tad Scar, TBI FoiBerjBriPopalir.A- X)ld age is that period of man's existenee when his enthusiasm and teeth begin to slip awy from him It is becoming quite an easy matter to piok up bargains in teeth, but at three score and ten a man's enthusiasm for joy rides and the light fantastic fades out faster than the colors in a 6 cent gingham. Old age is large ly a state of mind. Its outward symbols are wrinkles, and amind preference for corn meal mush, together with a tendency to arise early in the morning land shake do wn the f urnaos j dst when the rest of the family are trying to collect in a little -lost sleep. There are two. kinds of old age, sweet and sour. The former is the more popular of the two, and is generally surrounded by love and a collection of bed slippers. A sour old age gives a great deal of pain to all concerned especial ly at the time of probating the will.. Some people are naturally contrary and arrive at old age sev eral years ahead of their schedule, siddeningthe home with saroas tio comments relatsve to the qaalty of the pie orust, while others trip into the 80's like .an animated sunbam, scattering un selfish service and silver threads among the gold along life's path way. The old age which retains its interest in youth and flowers and books and politics is the most beautiful thing in this world, bar none, unless it is tne origntness of youth as yet unspoiled. The man of fifty who turns into Old Age alley, acoompanied by crows- feet and the sound of a slipping clutch, had better start repairs on his' bank account. Worry hur- ries more men into old age tnan whole lot of people who are laying in supplies for a rainy day for relatives who prooeed to blow in what is left on bright green lim ouBness with cigar holders and reading lamp.

'Speaking nf the high oost of getting1! start in business a friend in a" near by town tells us that the sum of $5,000 is asked for the "good trill" of a certain small concern, exolusive of stock and fixtures." The business is sup posed to pay $2,000 a year inolu- ive Of owner's salary." It costs so much to buy out an established .business, unless the same is forced on the market, that starting a new concern, oom- monljr seems more hopeful. But it. , in the old time way, a man simply hangs;out his shingle and wailitiBtopme( th prime of life may be gone before he gets it. The same result can be Lad in a fifth the time by effioient adver tising. Enterptise and truth telling are the qualities that draw trade. To prove that he has enterprise, and is wide awake enough to pro tect the customer's interest, a merchant must take the initiative and make a vigorous push for business. A newspaper advertisement can be plaoed in every home for 1 per oent of the cost of personal -soli oitation. It is read when people are at their leisure in a mood to listen to what the merchant has to say. Good advertising gives an im pression teat tne mercnant is alert and energetic in meeting publio needs, and a publio im pression of that kind ia a "good will," having a large oasn value. It is like money on interest in the bank. Returning to our starting point if instead of paying $5,000 a year for tnat business, a man should spend f 500 a year for two yeajf m advertising, he would have $4,000 to his pocket, and a better business standing. son why the fund should not be $100,000, whioh would enable us to found such a memorial to Gov ernor Aycpck as would be both oreaitaoie to tne state and an honor to his memory and a bene-. diotion to the masses for all time.
