A writer to the Boston press, com- plaining of the many organizations to help young men with no organiza- tions to help old men cites an instance as Tollows: “I know a man 60 vears of age who | in business in one of the sub- urbs for many years. Everything 1ooked prosperous for the future. About te@ years ago everything stopped still and then began going down. He held on, thinking it would come round all right, but his business dwindled to nothing, for everybody would come to the city on the electrics to trade. So he lost his business and his means of supporting his family and has been out of business a . He has adver tised; he has answered advertisements: applied to all the agencies and bureaus of employment. The first thing they say to him is: ‘Oh, you are too old. We want young men.’ There are men of 60 who frem their experience and excellent physical con- dition are able to do more work anl better work in a day than voung men, cruelly rejected because If able-bodied men are to be turned down why should they not be humanely looked after. Are old men to be used with less consid- eration than beasts? NOT AN ENTERING WEDGE. Maine appropriated a third of a mil- lion last vear for the construction of a new state house, and at the time It was considered an’ inadequate amount to meef the full expense of such a structure. Now the commissioners hav- ing the matter in charge gives notice that the $350 000 is suficient to com- pletely cover costs. Upon this the Portland Express says: “The new state house will be com- pleted on time; it will be fully up t> the expectations of even the most san- }euine, amd it will be completed and delivered to the state absolutely within the appropriation made by the last legislature. This is good news, but perhaps the best of it all is that the new state house will be a credit to the state of Maine: its outside appearance suggests nothing of a recenstructed building. It is architecturally beautiful. The interior arrangement is not only to be attractive to the eye, but it is to be exceedingly convenient for the trans- actipn of business, and arranged espe- cially with regard to the convenience of the outside public. The writer had the pleasure of going over the entire structure in company with Commissioner Hichborn one day last week and it 15 from him that the facts relating to the building of the new state house are obtained, The people of Maine will have every reason to be proud and pleased with the new state house and with the manner in which the commissioners have exo- cuted their trust.” The business of Maine Is in pretty zood hands when contracts of this kind are so well and satisfactorlly comy EDITORIAL NOTES, ’ ae chrysanthemum is beginning to i.d, and the football players take the hint.

She wore a costume of light grav, and_a hat of the same delicate col showed off to perfection the beauti- fuu oval of theface, thé velvety brd eves and the forehead, soft-shaded its waves of dark hair. A bunch crimeon roses at her neck gave necessary coloring to the quiet dress, and many an eye followed the mov ments of the graceful girl. as she made her way through the heated at- mosphere of the thronged rooms into the cooler and less crowded spaca | given up to sculpture. She turned the leaves of the catalogue hurriedly to the end. “Yes. here it is. ‘Farewell Hymn to the Sunset, No. 60.
