He said he previous: served a term in Atlanta for mail theft Girl Faints. Assistant District Attorney Me- Donald dangled a crumpled piece of paper in front of the witness. He said he never saw it before. “Didn't Mrs. Conners take this let- ter of Dorothy Perkins' from your Pocket?” the prosecutor asked. Before Conne ad a_chance to answer, there was a rustling at the prisoner’s table and Dorothy, strug- gling to get up, slumped back in a faint. The note, Mr. McDonald con- tended, was written by the girl from Jer cell a few weeks ago. The defense contends that Temple- gon was shot accidentally while the Eirl her father were grappling for po: ion of a revolver Dorothy said she carried to protect herself from violence at the hands of Mrs. Conners. g DEBATE BY RADIO. ®'wo Clubs Contest at Distance of 200 Miles. # Debating by radio is an innovation h school conference re- v staged a successful debate by radio and prizes were awarded by Judges who listened in other cities.

BY QUEEN MARIE OF RUMANIA. FURLING LIFE'S SAILS. One of the saddest things in life is the struggle of the woman, the man, who will not give up, who will hang on to the pleasures, excitements that are out of season for them, when paint, dye, wigs, false teeth, set up a brave but agonizinig and often un- lovely fight, vying with those whose Springtime it i Youth will laugh at these efforts, will turn them into ridicule, for, being triumphant, youth is cruel. But, for all that, we who are aging can keep in touch with the young. We can laugh with them, go with them; we in_heighten their pleasures by our appreciation, which has in it nothing of competition, but only a happy mem- ory of what was ours vesterday, while today we have moved on just a little farther, where tomorrow they also will be. There is tremendous wisdom and even elegance, also something of co- v, in giving up in time before ne, in taking the back seat be- fore we are invited to do so. Once more I quote Nietzsche: “Let us give up, allowing ourselves to be eaten when we taste best; let us learn early the difficult art of going in timg Yes, better sit by and look on, say ing, “I could if I would,” rather than allow others to show you that you “can’t.” Do not stretch out your hand for the fruit which is no more for you, and when you see the prize, the plea ure, passing you by for another, re- member that you have had your day and that jealousy can sour even a happy remembrance. After all, enough is as good as a feast. Do _not imagine that I am preach- ing, but I am on the further down- ward slope. I have had my day. 1 do not say that I could not still have a few more days. But never for an: thing in the world would I stretc out my hand to grasp what might be meant for another. Change Tastes With Years. When still even great. big, shiny fruit my lap I am astonished and grateful. T hold it between both hands. 1 sniff at it, and its delicious scent reminds me of Spring and sunshine, and love fts touch. But, for all that, I do not bite into it. I say thank you and I smile, but I do not take. I do not taste. That belongs to the others now, not to me. And I am not sad at all; T am at peace I admit I do not belong to the starved. I have had plenty of every thing, so I cannot judge what it feel like having never eaten vour fill. Perhaps in that case paint and dye are understandable—a desperate last try for the good things of youth which passed you by—and hope is more tenacious than anything. Hope never dies. We certainly have in our times pushed old age farther away, and I think that we are absolutely justified to hold it off as long as we can, to do everything we may to retain our looks, our figure, our agili of life and joy. But as we advance in nge we ought to m!\dlf\' our appetite.

Unusual opportunity for live wire. Must be experienced. Address Box 80-A Carmen Sylva in one of her poems says: “Old age should be like an ala- er chamber. I like the picture it evokes—all white, clean, peaceful. 1 especially see old age as peace— ‘white peace'—a dying down of all storms and desires, of striving and struggling.” If the life lived has not been wasted if a normal amount of joy and pain been experienced; sorrows, conflict, have been bravely met and overcome; if joys and pleas. ' have been real, natural and d—old age ought to SATURDAY bring peace, calm, rest. You do not want to keep dancing—dancing when your limbs have grown stiff. The old man may heave a sigh and regret may have a share of his thoughts, but if he is a. man who has acquired his full development nor- mally he will have replaced his love of dancing by something just as real and satisfactory to him in spite of his sigh of regret—which is nw as deep 4s the young man hearing it may suppose. Peace in Old Age. There {s also something of peace in it, something of rellef at the knowl edge that what we call pleasure is not everything. It was sweet in its day. but has been replaced by something else—something bigger, something more worth while, though probably less gay. Of course, the loss of beauty for a woman remains eternally a grief. "Tis a real grief to herself as well as to others. A beautiful woman is like a great gift to the world, and when we see that beauty go down, year by year become less, finally to die out, disappear, I confess that 1 find no consolation for the loss. It simply belongs to the sorrows of this world and must be faced. Especially difficult are the years when old age has not yet been ac cepted, when the struggle is being kept up and when one knows that there can be but defeat in the end. But old age itself is like an ala baster chamber—all white, clean: like the bowed head. And the door which opens out of it opens out into Light.

J. M. GUFFEY Former Prominent Democrat of Pittsburgh Victor in Suit Against 0il Production Corporation. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, June 13—Col. J. M. Guffey, a former prominent figure in tate Democratic circles, was yester- dav awarded $348,695.33 by a jury in Federal Court in a suit against the Gulf Production Co., & subsidiary of the Gulf Ofl Corporation. The action was brought to recover $180,000, plus interest, which Col. | Guffey alleged was due him from u' transaction in 1901, when he sold to the defendant company leases of a large. amount of oil lands in Texas | and Louisiana. | At the time, he declared, he retained | title to one lease which it was alleged | that the defendant concern sold a few weeks later for $180,000. The defense contended that this particular lease was included in the transaction.
