It was the same lady who two

The corner stone laying had
been a brilliant success. The
weather was fine, the speeches el
oquent, the music impressive. The
niastar of ceremonies was very
well satisfied with himself, yet
with the dispersal of the crowd he
became strangely excited. Hur
riedly he sought the master mason.
"Is it possible to lift the corner
stone again ?" he asked.
"I am afraid not, sir," said the
mason. "Have you any particu
lar reason for asking?"
"I have." said the master of
ceremonies. "I've left my hat in
the receptacle along with the re
cords." Improved machinery enables a
man lo accomplish almost as many
dungs as a woman can w ith a hair
pin.

And they grow;
They grow in the rain,
And they grow in the dew,

"The grasses are clothed

"In "pastures green?" Not always; sometimes He
Who knoweth best, in kindness loadeili me
In weary ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine, warm and soft and bright,
Oul of the sunshine into darkest night.
I ofi would fainl vriili sorrow and affright.
Only for this 1 know He holds my hand,
So, whether in the green or desert land,
I trust, although I may not understand.
And "by still waters?" No, not always so,
Oftimes ihe heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul the waves and billows go.
Hut when the storms beat loudest, und I cry
Aloud For help, ilie Master standcih by,
And whispers to my soul, "l.o, it is I."
Above ilie tempest wild I hear Mini say ;
Beyond this darkness lies the perfect day,
In every path of thine 1 lead the way."
So, whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie what matter? He is there '
And more than this; where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no helpless broken reed,
Hut His own hand, sufficient tor my need
So where lie leads me I uu s.dely go,
And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom He haih led me so.
MIDDLE-AGE MEN SCORE.
War Is (living Them New Chance
In Lite.
A man is as old as he feels;
A woman as old as she looks.
Ancient Proverb.
Probably no tlippani statement
made by a man of science ever did
so much harm or brought woe or
suffering to so many persons as
did Dr. Osier's reported declara
tion that men are no good after 41).
The doctor didn't say it. What he
said was different and was a labor
ed linghsh effort at jocularity; but
the statement as said lo have been
made went the world over and
was thrashed out lime after time
by newspaper and magazine.
Ii was unfair. It was cruel. It
you meet a man and tell him he
appears ill he may smile. If 20
persons tell him so within an hour
the chances are he'll be ill or think
he is. America was in the humor
at that particular moment to coddle
the young man. It was in the
early flush of a great prosperity.
Young men had come to the front
suddenly, having had spectacular
success. Much was made of the
fact. Their success was ascribed
in large measure lo the energy,
spirit, resiliency of youth. In a
liltle while heedless, careless Amer
ica had come to the conclusion
that, while Osier exaggerated, he
wasn't so far uwny from the truth.
l-riii ib it n"" n the mm of
middle age or beyond has been un
der a handicap. It has been not
only in the unwillingness of em
ployers to engage any but young
men, but in the doubt, if not in de
spair, that has crept into the brain
and heart of the middle-aged man.
What a shame ! A man should
be at his besi ai 41), 45, 50. There
were limes when men were not
considered mature until they were
40. The knights of old, warriors
bold, if ever men wre b ld, men
of valor, strength, resourcefulness,
were in their prime in their for
ties.
What the economic loss to Amer
ica has been through this shocking
libel on the men of middle age will
never be known, bui it must be
tremendous.

Today there is a change. The
door of opportunity opens, or
should be opened, to the middle
aged man. The war, and ihe con
sequent scarcity of malelabor.have
made many persons think of the
middle-aged man who formerly,
through silly prejudice, would not
have given thought to him.
Down town the bankers, brokers,
insurance men and others have
been experimenting With the middle-aged
man. They have taken
him, here and there, as clerk or
office "boy." Don't smile. The
r. port is that he makes the best
oifice boy in the world. He was
si.iried ai a trifle more pay than
tlie former office hoy got, but ad
vance has come to him rapidly.
1 he middle-aged office boy isn't
a cigarette smoker. He doesn't
shoot craps. He is polite, atten
tive, reliable. He isn't running
around the place sky larking with
other kids or trying to flirt with a
giilgly girl clerk. He is a sane,
reliable, human being, not an un
tamed, unmanageable and irrespon
sive cub.
In Ihe shop and factory it is the
same. I he middle-aged man is
not a clock watcher. He values
Ins job. He respects his boss. He
d ies not think the boss is the ene
my of mankind. He is fanhful.
A great, terrible injustice has
been done to the middle aged man.
It is useless lo discuss the matter
if discussion brings only sympathy.
It should bring more. It must
bring lustice, opportunity. And
justice, opporiiinuy, only can be
had by an agency that only will
open the door to the middle-aged
man, but keep il wide open.
Make way for the middle-aged
man. Give to him what should
be the inalienable right of every
man, a fair chance. He hasn't it.
Open your hean to him, loo. He
needs, deserves encouragement.
He may be a bit doubtful of him
self at first. He may be like the
man made ill by being told by so
many persons that he looked ill.
