It is the hope of all men who have the proper con- ception of their duty to themselves and to the world that they may re- tain such youthfulness of heart as may enable them to make their lat- ter years full of usefulness. The trouble with most men is that as age creeps upon them they permit them- selves to live too much in the past and thus get out of tune with pres- ent day environment.

Certainly something is needed that will cause young men to pause and give this vital question the thought it deserves and which higher success in life imperatively demands. Lack of such thought has filled the world with misfits that before the prime is passed sink into failures and degenerate into pessimists,—Pensa- cola Journal. A REMARKABLE HEN.
