HOOSIER LADS From Pleasant Mills are Given Write-up in Mt. Car; iei (Ill.) Paper. ARRIVED THERE Safe and Sound—Have Traveled 475 Miles in 10 Foot Row Boats. The following from the Mount Car tnel till.) Republican tells another chapter in the lives of the two Pleasant Mills hoys who are sailing down Hie rivers to the Gulf of Mexico, The headlines read: "Hoosier Lads on Ixing Trip: traveling hundreds of miler by water in ten-foot boats.” The article says: The Republican office had as visitors Tuesday John Boner and Ralph Fuller, two youths from Pleasant Mills. Ind., who are now making a trip by water from Bluffton. Ind., to New Orleans in row boats only ten feet in length, a teat never before attempted in such small crafts. Each young man lias a separate boat ind the boats which are of cypress, were designed and built by them. The boats are especially equipped with wave guards and it is claimed by tlie owners that it is almost impossible for the boats to over turn. Waves four feet high have been ridden without Jie slightest danger of capsizing. The boats are also equipped with folding lops, similar to ’hoar used on autos, md at night these tops are raised making excellent sleeping quarters in the boats. If desired, the tops may also be used during the day time as protection from tlie hot rays of tlie sun. The boys left Bluffton June S and dnee that time have traveled about t 75 miles, stopping one day at Huntingtoi) and two days in Vincennes. They left here Wednesday inoruiu-s xpecting to reach New Harmony this t vening. On leaving the Wabash river ’hey will continue their journey to Paducah. Ry., where they expect to find employment till fall, leaving Paiucah in September to complete their journey down the Ohio and Mississippi river t« New Orleans. The object of the young men's trip ’« to see the country apd have a genrat good time, and to add to the novelty of the trip they decided to use •niy ten toot boats. As the ordinary row boats are from 15 to » feet in length It any readily '■e seen that they have a "eal venture■ome trip ahead of them.

AWAY WITH AGE LIMIT ' THEORY HAS BEEN PROVED TO BE AN ABSURDITY. Many Notable Instances of Men Who Have Done Their Beat Work After What la Looked on ( l as Middle Age. Though Sir William Osler persist- t enUy denies that he ever advocated 1 what is known as Oslerlsm, it is a con- i venisnt and euphonious name for a theory as to old age, and Oaleristn it ( wiß remain so long as there is life in , that fallacious doctrine. He explains t that in an unguarded moment he , quoted a foolish jest from a forgotten novel, but being a physician he was taimen seriously. However, our sym- j pa'by for him should be qualified by ( th' fact that his mistake has given , him a far wider reputation than any , of his achievements in medical research. I Who a? ’fs a joke must bear its eonsequence,, and these should not be so 1 painful to a maa who had the pleasure of seeing his mother sm’ie at Oslcrtsm in her hundredth year, and who at sixty-five boasts that he is doing bet- t ter work than at thirty. ( Gladstone at forty expressed the < opinion that no statesman could be ’ of real service to his country after passing the three-score mark, but his i brain was never clearer than when 1 at eighty he was the most important actor in British politics ttome men only begin to live or to do their best when they have reached the stage usually spoken of as that of the sere and yellow leaf. Innumer- 1 able instances might be cited, but per- 1 haps tbe most conspicuous is that of William de Morgan, the foremost English w'rlter of today, who wrote his first work at sixty and whose humor becomes the more youthful the older he grows. And here is our own John Burroughs, world famed as a naturalist and author, planning new volumes on his seventy-seventh birthday Age has not withered his imagination nor weakened his enthusiasm in the cause of natural history, while his latest work has all the freshness that marked the effusions of two-score years ago. It is time that men ceased to limit not merely their activities, but their lives as well, because ot tbe superstition that old age necessarily means feebleness. Those who are actually exhausted may not deny the fact, whether they are forty or elgh’y. but there are many who are only victims of the suggestion that a’ a certain period they must begin to decline. Let those latter learn of Burroughs and others that suggestion can cut both ways and is just as effective when conducing io ’he belief that it is never too late to do good work and enjoy life. Big Hands Saved Him. Attorney John Cronin was appearing fur a client charged with picking a pocket The government's chief wit ness had evidently read detective fie tion. He described at length how he. standing quietly by, had seen the prisoner slip a slim fingered hand into the victim's pocket. He described the per fectly manicured hand and taperod fingers of the alleged pickpocket's band minutely, just as it goes in a detective yarn Then Attorney Cronin opened his defense. "My defense consists of ’Exhibit A.' Mr. Prisoner, hold out your hands" Tbe prisoner, a six-foot man. did so, showing tha jurors a pair of hi’gc hands with gnarled Angers which would have done justice to a bricklayer. ■’Th” witness called those fingers long and tapering, gentlemen," said Cronin ’’Now I want you to look at them and tell me if you think that h'tlicing chap could MH bonds tike those in the subway, let alone a per sei’s pocket"’ The jury returned a verdict of not guihv.—Boston Traveler Pictorial Hint.
