Life of Probably the oldest Woman
i'm the World.
Who is she? The oldest woman in
France perhaps in the world. She was
born March 16, 1761 and is therefore 1876
years old. Impossible? Indeed, it is I'M
doubtedly true. Anyone who cares may
see for himself the authentic record of her
birth. 1t is to be found in the parish regis
ter of st. Just de Claix, in the Department
of the Isere
The venerable woman still lives there in
the small village of Auberive en- Royans.
Has she any family? / believe not She
had one son, who died in 1910, being thirty
years old Her maiden name was Marie
Durland and she was married when q mere
child. Her husband died and she took a
second, his name being Girard.
They lived at Auberive until 1914, when
the Austrian army invaded the Isere coun-
try. Then she dressed in mans clothes
and, with her husband, fed to the sea.
They were fellow sailors on shipboard for
seven years without her disguise being
betrayed. Then her husband was killed in
a brawl, and she slew his murderer, and
then returned to Auberive to spend hel
remaining years in widowhood. She lives
In q miserable hut, all Alone and has been
able to make her own clothes, cook her own
food, and attend to oil her wants until two
or three years ago. Since then her sight
has failed, SO that she is no longer able to
thread her needle, and she has for some
time been too feeble to leave her bed. SO
the parish has hired q neighbor to attend to
her.
For more than ninety years she has not
tasted meat nor drank wine, nor spoken te
priest. Why? She says meat does not
agree with her, and so she has lived almost
exclusively on broth made of cabbage, po-
tatoes and oil, and bread and butter. As
TO wine she does not care for it, though
now and then she takes as n medicine q
spoonful of white brandy which is made
from the tender branches of grape-vines.
Why she dislilkes the priests no one knows,
nor will she explain. Occasionally the
cure of the parish visits her, but she will
not notice him in any way. This antipathy
TO priests dates from about the time of heI
second marriage, but she will not utter q
word in explanation of it, though on every
other subject she has always been ready
and willing TO converse.

Things We Never Forget.

W INGNEN
The beautiful pictures OF life so fair
That filled our hearts in youth,
Our holy trust, unchanging faith,
Our dreams OF love and truth
The generous hand stretched forth TO aid
Us In the hour OF need;
The kind word spoken, in grlefs dark hour,
Which proves friend indeed
The longing for sweet sympathy;
The spirits yearning cry;
The chill repulse that cuts the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high.
The last sweet words by loved ones lisped
The contrite hearts regret,
In memorys unfading record kept
Are things we never forget.

eUnder the benign local option feature of the Dow
aw Prohibition has carried Athens by vote of more
one, and bell in the county seat was
ringing last night. The good people should now keep
an eye on the drugstores."-O s. Journal.
We have no faith in reformation
which dries up the miserable, scabby
saloon doggery, and gives an air of re-
spectability to the Drug Store doggery.
In perhaps more than one half of the
cases in this town where men have be-
come occasional drinkers, then moder-
ate drinkers, then drunkards, they
have started-not in the saloons, but
in the Drug Stores. They can saunter
into the Drug Store, carelessly walk
around behind the prescription desk,
and nobody unaequainted with the run
of things could suspect anything
wrong. But If you follow the young
man who with such an air of seeming
innocence walks behind the desk, you
will find back there bottle of dog-leg
whisky and glass. We do not say
this in any feeling Of unfriendliness to-
ward the Drug Stores-but as sense
of duty and a note of warning. There
are some Drug Stores that conduct a
legitimate Drug business-others are
the most contemplate grog-shops i'm
aginable. If the citizens want local
option, let them have it. This can be
done as it was in Athens, by the best
citizens-men, women, boys and girls
their time and energy to the
work. But then what? You stop the
selling as beverage, provided you can
get Conncil to enforce the local pro-
hibition, and this could be done in this
town. But you give the Drug Store
groggery the monopoly Of the whole
business. The point we wish to make
is, that the entire community should
give its earnest and constant attention
to this latter class, and have a ready
prosecution for every violation, and a
ready damage suit for every physician
known to have prescribed whisky for
a drunkard. The work all the way
through must be thorough, and when
once the Drug Stores find that the
people will not tolerate them as dog
geries, they will put away the bottle
and glass, and conduct an honest and
honorable business.
