The Constitutional Convention was

threa voar old whea he wrote the
"D.clatioa of Independence." Hirnil-

States Sjnator at thirty-four. Thirty
had been fix?d as the minimum age for
Senators, and half of those first electad

dye ia the known world. A white-
haired old Bodie man who went down
to the lake during thit summer wat so
pleased with tho bathing to te had
there that he went in for a swim rec-ti-
Urly every evening after finUhing his

two weeks and when ho cot back his
friendt hardly knew him. Hi left Bodie
a white-haired old man. and he ca'mi
back a golden ilonde and apparently a
maa of only mid ilo age.
All who bathe ia the waters of that
lake become blondes and if tho bathing
, persisted in for any length of tirao
thev pet to be red headed. A man lait

spring rented tho t L.-vining lanch on

tho water became warm enough tho
girls daily went bathing ia tha lake

begun taking their dips in the lake' the

This so delighted them that they began
bathing twice a day and between times
washed their heads in water from tha
lake. Virginia City Enterprise.
