In cestnries past, indeed,' valuable contributions t the world's thought and the world'3 work hare been made by an over sixty years of age. . Witness such sporadic examples as Sophocles writ ing his Aetfipos at eighty; Michael Angelo beginning his "Last ; iadg nteet" at sixty two and working on St. Peter's from sixty seven till his death at eighty-nine; Titian painting charac teristic and powerful pictures in his nineties; Goethe finishing "Fanst" ! afcea pavt eighty; Victor Hugo bring-, m oav uem jiueraoies in nis sixty first year, and writing charming rents in his seventies. There is a summary of evidence not to be taken lightly. . It was hardly necessary, however, to go back of the present day. -. Time was when great soldiers, for instance, ceased to be great soldiers when they passed die prime of life. Hannibal was 46 when he was defeated by Scipio; the con quests of Alexander tbe Great ended with his thirty third birthday; Napoleon's career came to an end at Waterloo when . he was 46, and his conqueror's last battle was fought when he, too, rounded the fortyaixth milestone. But, today, m Europe, the great war is being fought by such men as Joffre, Pau, Kitchener, Von Hin denburg, Sfaekenson, all 60 or older, and Sir John French, replaced withhl the last few days, is past 60. ' Just where, then, does there seem to be any definite need for "geriatric?" Age, apparetnly, is able to take care of itself. It needed, fat these crowded. times of ours, only a chance to show what it could do. And, die chance appearing, H has shown tss. What has shown, moreover, haa been con vincing. It may be surmised, too, that the man who is on tbe shady side of 50 or 60 win hereafter find his ajppH cation for a position meeting with more respectful consideration. For a white, there was a senseless pre judice against men over 40. ' Efffci ency as . a science, being somewhat new, made too much of youthfulness and not nearly enough of the wisdom that comes with years end experience.

Because Archie Madden, an old man, became drunk and ordered Scotty , Lowe, a crony, to dance to the tune of his six-shooter, he must spend the next six months in jail. This is the de cision of Judge John S. Coke., Mad den, who lives on a little truck farm near here with Lowe, declared he did not know the gun was loaded . and that.he had tried first to make his dog donee and when the dog refused, tried the experiment on Lowe.

Mrs. Bbemeid was closely questioned by ber husband's counsel as to wheth er she had not based her "command ments" entirely upon- her own life. Sbe denied that this was so. Sbe re pudiated tbe sentiments of some, say ing they were merely generalities which sbe thought of at tbe tune They were only frivolous sayings," remarked Mrs. Sheffield. "Did you consider It was such when you wrote, 'A dull husband is a dis couragement unto tbe gods? " asked Sheffield's counsel. I did not mean my husband when I wrote that," answered Mrs. Sheffield. "My husband Is not dull. Be is bril liant, but be does not make the best of his brains." r. - Recital Causes Tsars. Mrs. Sheffield tben ' told about her trouble with ber husband over tnelr son, .Nelson. She said tbe little fellow was taken sway from ber, and after much trouble sbe located him, only to hare him taken away again. I learned he was in a hospital In Jersey City dying," she said. "Ills fa ther had Insisted upon bis being given cold baths and taking long walks too soon after having tbe measles. I rush, ed to tbe hospital and got there Just as my boy pasd away. Sly hnsband got there Just before me. What did you do?" asked Mr. Lane. I stayed at the hospital for more than an hour," was the reply. "But what were you doing? asked tbe lawyer. Why. I Just held the bodx of my little boy, cold in death, close to my bosom. I" But Mrs. Sheffield could not go on. Sbe broke down and wept bitterly. At this point there were few dry eyes In tbe courtroom. ? ' Mr. Lane questioned Mrs. Sheffield coucernine; tbe characters In ber novel "The Golden Hollow," the sale of which was suppressed by ber husband after but 1,000 copies had been sold. Sheffield told tbe publishers, so it was aid, that he was the villain and that If they continued to sell tbe book there would be a suit for llbeL HIAWATHA, HIAWATHA, HIAWATHA, Not from Longfellow, but the BEST coal from Utah, a hard dur able, economical snrai anthracite.
