Aleck Stephens tells an snecdo.e illustrt-
ing how late in lite woman's sensitiveness
about her age may last. He says that at a
time when 1t was known that the widow OF
President Madison was in such poverty as
resll to besufiering for the necessaries OF life,
a bill for her relief giving her pension was
introduced into the house, which he earnestly
championed. He made telling point in
urging its immediate passage by saying !:
"Genllenen, to-day the lady reaches the
venerable ago of eighty,two years, and 1t
would DO particularly graceful thing tor
this house to honor the day BY passing AZ
once the bill for her relief" he laid such
stress upon the matter and advocated the
passage of the bill so warmly that 1t was
passed on that day. He felt so
els,ed with his triumph that he decided to
/ Ike the news to her himself, and fastened
o. once to her residence. Some one, howev>
er, had preceded him and fully reported his
speech to the lady, who, to his SURPRISE
gre, ted him by saying: "Oh, thank you,
MIR. Steph, ms, for getting my bill through
but you made m stake when you said was
Q gnty.two to-day. am not eighty two; l
am onIy eighty to-day. That was grave
mistaks." When Mr.. Stephens repeated
this to Mra. John j. Cri.tenden, one OF
Mrs. Madison's friends, who had told him
her age, she said: IAN the same, MIR.
Stephens, it is true she is really eighsy'two
years old"
Mr.. Stephens Gays he has never dared
mention alady's age since, however much
he might hop, to make an argument In hei
favor by sod,ing.
