ARPS' BIRTHDAY Bill's Wife Has Beached Three Score andlen. SHE IS STILL VERY AC TIVE. Arps' Birthday Comes in Two Weeks from Now, and He Thinks He Will Get a Nice Present. From the Atlanta Constitution. Birthdays are very common things in this sublunary world. There are sixty millions of them every year and' that means about one hundred and fifty thousand every day or six thou sand every hour. Just think of it every minute one hundred mortal souls come into this world to Aiye and die, for good or for evil for happiness or misery. s As far back as we have any history, sacred or profane, kings and princes have cel ebrated their birthdays with feasts aud wine and song and even the humble aud the poor take note of their annual return. Pharoah cele brated his in Joseph's day and it was on Herod's birthday thac the daugh ter of Herodias danced before him and asked him for the head of John the Baptist. , I was ruminating about this be cause today is a notable birthday in my family. The maternal ancestor has at last reached her three score Postmaster Palmer of So. Glen Falls, N. Y. des cribes a condition which thous- anas or men and women find identical with theirs. Read what he ssys, and note the similarity of your own case. Write to him, enclosing stamped ad dressed envel ope for reply, and get a per L. D. Palmer. sonal corroboration of what is here given. He says regarding Dr. Miles' Heart Cure: "I suffered agonizing pain in the left breast and between my shoulders from heart trouble. My heart would palpi tate, flutter, then skip beats, until I could no longer lie in bed. Night after right I walked the floor, for to lie down would have meant sudden death. My condition seemed almost hopeless when I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, but it helped me from the first. Later I took Dr. Miles' Nervine with the Heart Cure and the effect was aston ishing. I earnestly implore similar suf ferers to give these remedies a trial." 8old by all Druggists on guarantee. Dr. Mites Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. years and ten the alotted age of man and woman kind, and from now on every day she lives will be one of grace. David says that the days of our years are three score years and ten, hue if by reason of strength they be four score years yet is their stren gth labor and sorrow. Poor old man, he did have a troubled life. He sin ned and he repented in great an- miieli aa bo ovnl o ! rv ml "fv Sill 14 ever before me." Solomon sayeth, 'The day of one's death is better than the day of his birth." And Job said, "Cursed is the night when I was born." Jeremiah's life was one of lamentation. The maxims and precepts of these old prophets and preachers are wonderfully beau tiful and have never been equalled, but great men are not always wise, aud even Solomon fell from grace and died accursed. The man who said, "Rejoice in the wife of thy youth and be thou always ravished with her love," forsook his own and consorted with a thousand others of all nations, creeds and colors. He reigned eighty years and died a dis appointed, dishonored, degraded and miserable old man. But old age is not necessarily unhappy. The poet speaks of "An old age serene and bright, As loytly as a Lapland night," and another poet says : "The world is very lovely. Oh, my God, I thank Thee that I live." Qtir old age is very much what we choose to make it. It is a sad thing to be weary and tired with the weight of years. It is pitiful to look upon an old man who never smiles, who has outlived all social pleasures and whose company is neither sought uor desired. For the sake of our neighbors and friends it is our duty to be cheerful in their company. We should sometimes smile even if we have to force it. Let us grow old gracefully. 1 have now in mind just such an one a hale, healthy old time gentleman of four score, years, whose presence is always welcome and wliose children, grandchildren and .. neighbors and friends give him. glad greeting when be comes. He, will, be .missed when he diesi for the world is better that .helivesiu.it. .His Christian faith, liia-moral couduct, .his good example and -his cheerful disposition area benediction to the community. But I was thinking about my wife's birthday. There are thirty seven birthdays in our family, and she knows them all and never forgets them. Tl.y avei age about three month, but this one of hers is a very notable one, for she is the maternal ancestor, and this day fulfills her years and crosses the line. Seventy years ago she was born, and not long after that the stars fell. Of course they did. Seventy is a numeral of sacred significance. There were seventy elders of Israel and seventy wise men compiled the Old Testa ment. The Jews were kept in cap tivity seventy years. The Lord sent out seventy of his disciples to preach and teach the people, and seventy years is the allotted age of mankind. But my wife is not old. Time has not written any wrinkles on her brow nor furrows on her cheek nor silvered her raven hair. If the long war had not in lervenec she would not look more than 50 years now. But the wear and tear of the war and anxiety while fleeing -from the foul invader, with six little hungry children tagging after, her, made years of months and weeks of days. But women, especially mothers, can endure more distress and suffering than men. The maternal instinct keeps them up. They can suffer and be strong. It looks like the motherhood of ten children would wear a woman out, but they seem to thrive on it, and late iu life they take on flesh and round up all the corners. But they never etup work. My wife has made over five thousand little garments and is still making them, for the little grandchildren keep coming on. , Her reputation i'or nice needlework and making buttonholes has been long establish ed, and she is proud of it. - She never stops sewing until she loses her spectacles, and then she borrows mine. No, she is not old.
