Each era of our lives has Its pe culiar compensations, the Philadelphia Ledger declares. When a young man Is In college, or a lad at school, he is often told by his elders that these are the happiest years of his life, and that he should make the best of their brief duration. Old age will creep upon him and life will impose an Increasing burden of responsibility, and he must gather the roses while he may be fore the cruel frost of custom, as Wordsworth called it has nipped his budding aspiration. Mr. Choate, while ambassador to England, said he had discovered that the eighth decade of life was the best of all. If an old man does not let himself relapse into egotistical gar rulity his recollections of a useful past may be a source of unfeigned pleas ure to others as well as to his own retrospective mind. It was the satis faction of a life well lived to which Sir Walter Scott could bear testimony to Lockhart, when the Wizard of the North knew that the end was near.

It is a good world to live in at four score or at the rounded centary—an even better place than It was when childhood accepted without question ing an earthly paradise. All Gone. A veteran, talking to his great- grandson, a little lad of eight or nine years, remarked: "Nearly a generation and a half ago my head was grazed by a bullet at the battle of Chickamauga." The little boy looked at the old man’s head thoughtfully and said: “There isn’t much grazing there now, is there, granddad?” Twisted History.
