I - After all, I* youth really i worth as much aa most of u* I have hypnotized ourselves into i believing? You might put this i question to an elderly man oir woman: "How much of the material and mental wealth you have accumulated would you surrender to get your youth back?" Most of them would hedge j and want to retain the wisdom and experience gained during lifetime. You have noticed that people when they say, "If 1 only had my life to live over agani,” usually add, "AND KNEW WHAT I IK) NOW!” With maturity and old age comes an encape from the bit ter despair* and heart-rending emotion* of youth—which are mountains made out of mole hills, but very real. A good many people are hap pier and more contended in mid dle age-—and even old age— than in youth. It all depends ion the mistake* avoided and I prisdom acquired in youth. Socrates learned to play on musical instruments in his old age. Cato did not begin to study Greek until he was 80, and Plutarch was nearly as old when he took up Sir Henry Spelman was a farmer until he was 50, than became a scientist. These and million* of similar cases show that youth is large ly a matter or viewpoint—men tal and spiritual—lnstead of glands and year* of age. Real youth Is in the heart. In old age, moat people come to the conclusion that life hero on earth is just a training school and spiritual gymnasium for a better existence later. Old age |s the youth of the intellect and the babyhood of the spirit. Happiness and contentment i have nothing to do with one’s! number of birthdays. BEARING FALSE WITNESS.

When Uncle Sam was running of the railroads, He lost a lot of money, it is true, And the private operators posed as rehabftitators, ' . Who would doctor up the roads and puli ’em through, All they asked for Uncle Sam was a half billion. With another half's billion now and then; , Then they added to the rate on the passenger* and freight, So the public paid ’em half as much again. When Uncle Ham was running of thfP'railroads, He didn't do as well as we might ask, But thty helped to win the war (which was what we took ’em for), After private owners bungled at the task. Still, we rated private ownership a blessing, Though at present it seems rather the reverse. Foe it surely seem* to me, viewing matters as they be, » ’That your Uncle Sam could hardly run ’em worse.
