Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 September 1910 — The Age of Forty. [ARTICLE]

The Age of Forty.

Forty is the age at which a man is supposed to be in his prime. Forty is old to a man of thirty and young to a man of fifty. At forty some men quit sowing wild oats and others begin. Forty is an imaginary line between youth and old age. Some men are forty at twenty and some at sixty. At forty a man is supposed to have reached years of discretion, and generally he has unless some woman wills it otherwise.—Chicago Record-Herald.
