SEEE e —— FOR LIFE'S LATER YEARS No matter what the young man or woman is doing today, or the man or woman in middle-age, there must come to him or her some thought of the later years of life. The thought may not be a pleasant one; it is put from us quickly as a rule. We do not like to think of the day when we can no longer do the things we are doing. But those days are inevitable and they need not be unhappy days if proper thought is taken of them, proper preparation made. Every man, at least, and now that ‘women are so prominent in all activi- ties, many women, come naturally by the desire to prepare in a financial way if possible for those later years of life. It is inborn in everyone to try to save enough money to make those days when work should be over, com- fortable days at least. The mystical “rainy day" is prepared for, and old age is apt to be the time when that “rain” comes, It is quite unnecessary to dwell on the importance of this financlal preparation that ought to be made while a man or a woman has, his or her full strength to earn enough for the time when earning money is at least more difficult. ‘But the other phase of life is less frequently considered—the phase that touches upon the pleasures, the en- tertainment of those last days. The very young look upon those advanced in years and wonder what they find in life to enjoy. Some youths and maldens consider white hair the badge of hopelessness. “What does a man do when he is 60 years old, to enjoy himself,” one youth asked his father. The man, then 63, strong, practically in his mental prime, smiled at the son and replied: “I am 63 years old, and I can say truthfully I never enjoyed life as I do today.” People in middle life advance that period of what they call old age, a few years. They have the same feeling for a per- son of 80 or more. And these are the days that may he made happy or un- happy .accordlng to the preparation that has been made for them, not alone by saving a competence, but by remembering, in youth and middle age that there must. he come pleasure in life, something aside from vigorous play, to make those later years happy. “My boy,” said the Presiding Justice of the Appeliate Division of the Su- preme Court in New York state, upon his seventy-third birthday, “learn in| your young days to do something with your hands, some work that is not | hard, that will entertain you when | AN UNNECESSARY LOSS. Sportsmen will be shocked to read of the declmation of fish in Mine Brook, which flows from Whigville reservoir to Forestville, by the free- Ing of a quantity of-chigrine at the reservoir by employes of the New Britain water department, Painstaking efforts have been made to stock the brook with trout, It was believed that the stream would provide entertainment for nimrods, not to mention the dellcious meals which were drawn out on a hook. This hope is partly blasted by the news that the chlorine has killed hundreds—in the language of The Herald's informant, ‘“perhaps thou- sands"—of fish. It is not clalmed that the water department employes were gullty of anything other than thoughtlessness when they allowed the chlorine to flow into the brook. Foresight, of course, would have prevented the needless slaughter, Arrangements should be made so that an occur- rence of this nature will not be re- peated. OUR ATHLETIC POLICE. Men are not put on the police force because of thelr athletic prow- ess, of course. But it is pretty sat- isfactory to be able to feel that the policemen of our city are strong, alert and fleet of foot. Some of them went down to Lighthouse Point the other day and stood well among the officers from other cities who com- peted against them in athletic events.

COMMUNICATED Rubbish at Walnut Hill 2ditor Herald: Having occasion te go through a great deal more respect for police- men who have shown their strength and agility than thy have for a force which is content to patrol the beat and take things easy. A gentleman who desires to gain a living by doing something prohibited by the law would hesitate long were he to feel that perhaps Officer Sul- livan, the fast runner, might take after him, or that Officer Politis, the expert broad jumper, might land on him with both feet; or that the fleet Officer KFeeney might be somewhere about; or that Officer Veley, power- ful of arm, might be lingering near. Then how would the criminally in- clined person feel, when about to per- petuate some evil deed, were Officers Grabeck or Lee or any of the other strong men of the force, to cast their shadows across the path? Our police force is all right. 2}0 to it, gentlemen; and keep the crooks wise to the fact that you are alive. The moral effect is splendid. LINCOLN, THE BIG MAN. It used to be sald of the great actor Edwin Booth that he surround- ed himself with poor actors in order that his ability might stand out more intensely. TFrequently it is said that beautiful actresses do not care to run the risk of having their heauty over- shadowed by other handsome women in the play in which they are ap- pearing. Mentally small people, and those who are vain, often prefer to “travel” with those who look insig- nificant when compared to them. An extremely interesting sidelight on Abraham Lincoln's mental bigness as well as his physical size, may be seen in the notice of the death of one John Schultz, of Pottsville, Pa. It is said that he was 6 feet 6 inches The diplomat leads ‘When he thinks of something reasona- bleand just, it never seems sufficlently patriotic.

Walnut Hill park several times each day, I have noted with a feeling of ndignation, the littered condition of he park every Monday morning and on mornings following band concerts or other public entertainments. The frequenters of the park bring newspapers to sit on and before leav- ing for their respective homes, evi- dently make an especial effort to tear these newspapers into the greatest possibla number of Hmnl{ pieces. This causes considerable extra work for Superintendent Wainwright and his men and is a source of needless expense to the.city. It seems as though this condition could be remedied by the installation of waste cans and printed notices to use same. Superintendent Wainwright and his assistants have done a great deal to make the park a place of beauty and deserve the co-operation of the public to this extent, at least. BETTER PARKS.
