In those days tlioro was practically no typewritings 1 think that , like any man of sense , ho would prefer to write an article than to read the average 'contribu tion.

It is nol surprising to hear that his health is excellent , and that after studying Voltaire , Montesquieu , and Jean Jacques Jfousseau he is now prepar ing to write his own memoirs. THE OLD TROUBLE.

"Drink sparingly , eat regularly , get plenty of sleep , and work hard if you want to live to a green old age. " One of his first resolutions when he went to the senate , and ho was a senator for 35 years , was that he never would take a drink at any public function , and he never has. It has been his habit to eat for luncheon each day three big red apples. But his physi cian recently has advised him t take a heavier , luncheon.
