THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. K Where are the OH People? In spite of Dr. Osler, there seems to be no such thing as old age in this country. It »irty years ago it was common in society and in print to speak of an old man or an old lady without meaning any disrespect or giving the least offense. Now it is positively dangerous; in fa?t, isn’t done. It was once the custom in this country, as it is now in England, that when a man had secured a competency he retired from active work and lived seventy. Nowadays it is seldom done. A competence now means an income of a few thousand, but an unlimited amount. There are to be found multimillionaires above eighty who are just as anxious to make m ney as ever and they seem to be quite as competent. Fifty years! ago a man of for-ty-five was considered an old man. In these days a man does not retire because there is too much zest in active life and partly because for a man to act as if he were old is too often simply shelving himself. The young blood is wanted these days and many men of sixty are to all intents and purposes still young. They keep at the game with their former eagerness. If they dron out. they must either weary themselves by seeking enjoyment or else rust away in discontent. Socially speaking, it is the age of he married woman who is hardly in her flower until she is forty, and who never withers. Even at twenty-five a girl is just only becoming possible, while young matrons are the leaders of society and they are always young thereafter in their own estimation and generallv in fact, because by art and artifice and by the better means of keeping in touch with life, they remain young. I It is better so.

Must Have Confidence The Valparaiso Daily Commercial prints the following -want ad: "Wanted —A confidence woman for general house work." Yes. witlhi confidence in herself she should have no trouble in landing a job. Wouldn’t a comnetent woman do just as well? After thinking of the mechanism of our typesetting machine, we wonder why the inventor did not attach an automatic operator so all we would have to do would be sit down and watch it' set type. There’s a differences, between “self-made” men and maebtinemade” men. Henry Ford illustrates the latter type. An ounce of confidence in yourself is worth more than a ton of dependence on other people. The traveler on the highways these days has two things to sea held up and being run down. The moon shinesi east, The moon shines west. Some profess to know Where the moonshine’s best. T ots of people who pose as railroad presidents when they go visiting in other towns are realty nothing more than section hands when they are at home. Such a large trade in Alaska spruce wood shipped to Australia has develooed that manv idle ships are being refitted for this purpose. The strange part is that husbands who their memories and wander away take all the cash. It’s a wonder they don’t change the name of Reno, Nev., to Liberty. The ner capita tax is *riill $l5O. No wonder every new-born baby yells. The best of early settlers we still have with ua—prompt payers.
