August 31, 1803
A few gray liaiija and a wrinkle or
two,
And a growing love for an easy
chair;
A longer search for an easy shoe,
And a longer rest in the twilight
fair.
But the sun's as bright and the joys
as keen
As in days gone by when, the years
were few,
And the whole world glows with a
golden sheen
While I gaze far out on the charm
ing view.
And O, it's glorious to be alive
And feeling fit at forty-five!
I may not stand in the highest place
And win applause from admiring
throng.
I may not win in the world's mad
race,
Nor join with pride in the victor's
song,
But when daylight dies I can haste
away
From tho toils and cares that are
given me.
And spend the hours of the closing
day
With loved ones gathered about
my knee.
For O, it's glorious to be alive
To scatter roses at forty-five.
Th! advancing years bring their re
compense -' .
tn the ties of friendship stronger
grown;
In a comradeship growing more in
tense As the days unfold to the great
unknown.
So I will not mourn for the days now
dead,
But in today and its Joys take
part
'What matters years that have swift
ly sped
ff -youth still lingers within the
heart?
Rejoice with me I -am still alive
And young of heart at forty-five.
The birds still sing and the flowers
bloom,
And the children laugh in the
same old way;
Tho same sun rises to banish gloom,
The same joys come with the
dawning day.
So I'll not repine as the time speeds
fast,
But live today with its joy and
cheer.
What matters the days that are dead
and past?
Today with- its message, of hope is
here.
I'm doubly glad I am .still; alive.
With loved one 'round me at" forty-five.

Tunis, August 15. The Bey oX
Tunis took a straw vote today, the
result showing 333 f.or Taft and 1
for Bryan. The single Bryan: rota
was cast by a man who had misun
derstood the bey!.s position. He will
not "make a similar mistake. His
funeral was not largely attended.
Thibet, August 15. Mahomet Sub
Rosa Underthehat, grand llhama of
the Thibetans, is a warm admirer of
William H. Taft, and it is rumored
that he will fracture all Thibetan
precedent by taking the stump for
his friend. If he does it will result
in a Taft landslide in the outlying
precincts of this country. Thibetans
are already joining the club or tak
ing to tho woods.
Swat, August 15. The Ahkoond
of Swat today issued a call for the
organization of Taft clubs in this
country. The head executioner is
prepared to enforce the order that
all Swattians shall become charter
members. Contributions to the
Ahkoond's campaign fund will be
published after the election prob
ably ajiong about 1967.

Unconscious Humor
English humor is often painful,
and the most delicious bits of Eng
lish humor that find their way to
this country are often accompanied
by evidence that proves It to be un
conscious -humor. Hefferon was the
Englishman who entered for the
Marathon race in the recent Olympic
games in England. Speaking of him
and his sprinting the London Chron
icle said:
"Hefferon went to South Africa
during tho Boer war anjl there
learnt to run."
That is really funny.
