A woman 116 Years Old.

Sylvia Du Bots is a colored woman
living on Sourland Mountain, the
range that separates Hunterdon and
Mercer counties, n. j. She is 116
years old, and probably the oldest
person in the United States. There is
no question concerning her age. She
was born in 1869. Her only daughter,
whom she calls her ''little gir1'' is rs
years old. Sylvia and her child live
in little hut on the mountain top, and
once year they come down into the
valley and beg. They have been
making tour this week.
Despite her extreme age Sylvia has
very few lnlirmities. She walks for
miles carrying basket for provisions
on her arm. An old clay pipe is al
ways in her mouth. She eats hearty
meals and apparently enjoys life. Her
profanity is continual, interlarding all
her sentences Her "reminiscences of
earlier days are extremely interesting,
as she remembers events in the last
century distinctly.
Until she1was 80 years old she was a
slave at Great Bend, Pa. Escaping
from there, she tramped across the
country until she reached the Sour
land. Slavery, strange enough. never
existed on the mountain, although
there were several hundred negroes
residing on the ridge. Sylvia is con-
fident she will live to complete GEN.

she will beat the record for longevity

pied crowd Of small boys on huge
pile of new lumber. The alarm was
given that "cop" was coming, and
the boys made a general rush to get
away. The movement upset the lumber
pile, and the long timbers slid down
toward the center of the street. They
made a natural gangway up to the top,

UTES THIS STORY.
How Fred Taylor, of the Gallant Issth
N. ", V. l., Finally Found
What He Sought.

(From the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought
up near Elmira. ~. Y, and from there
enlisted in the 1S9th regiment, N. Y, ".
l., with which he went through the war,
and saw much hard service Owing to
exposure and hardships during the ser
vice, Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic
diarrhoea from which he has suffered
now over so years, with absolutely no
help from physicians. BY nature he
was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had
he not been his disease and the expert
ments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter
rible headaches, his nerves were shat
tered, he could not sleep an hour a day
on an average, and he was reduced to
skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife
sought relief in q change of climate and
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the
change in health came not. Finally on
the recommendation of f. ]. Hoffner
the leading druggist of Geneva, who
was cognizant of similar cases which
Pink Pills had cured, Mr. Taylor was
persuaded to try a box. LAS a drown
ing man graspS a straw so l took the
pills" says Mr.. Taylor, but with no
more hope of rescue. But after thirty
years of suffering and fruitless search
for relief / at last found it in DIR. Will
Jams Pink Pills. The day after took
the first pills l commenced to feel better
and when l had taken the first box I
was in fact new man." That was
two months ago. Mr.. Taylor has since
taken more of the pills and his progress
is steady and he has the utmost con-
fidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well
as in his youth. Color is coming back
to his parched veins and he is gaining
flesh and strength rapidly. He is now
able to do considerable outdoor work.
AS he concluded narrating his suffer-
ings, experience and cure to a Beacon
reporter Mrs. Taylor said she
wished to add her testimony in
favor of Pink Pills. ITO the pills alone
Is due the credit Of raising Mr.. Taylor
from a helpless invalid to the man he is
to-day" said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor can not find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering
humanity. Any inquiries addressed to
them at Geneva, Ohio, regarding Mr..
Taylor's case they will cheerfully an
swer as they are anxious that the whole
world shall know what Pink Pills have
done for them.

the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They arc for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail

Ants That Build Boats and Kill
Sp"keS.


There are certain ants that show
wonderful intelligence. and the driver
ants" not only build boats, but launch
them, too; only these boats are formed
of their own bodies. They are called
''driver" because of their feroc;tv.
Nothing can stand before the attacks
of these little creatures. Large pythons
have been killed by them in single
night. while chickens, lizards and 9TH
er animals in Western Africa flee from
them in terror. To protect themselves
from the heat they erect arches. under
which numerous armies of them pass
in safety. Sometimes the arch is made
of grass and earth gummed together
by some secretion, and again it is
formed by the bodies of the larger ants,
which hold themselves together by
their strong nippers. while the workers
pass under them.
At certain times of the year freshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
drivers" and it is then that these
ants 90 to sea. The rain comes sudden

But the Car Driver Failed to Connect

A very prosperous looking business
man, boarded the front platform of
cross-town car and drawing from
his pocket, a well-filled cigar
case, selected a choice looking
Havana. The driver "sized up" the man
and the cigar case, and his mouth be-
gan to water. The smoker, after biting
off the end of the cigar, began fumbling
for match. Failing to find one he
he had match.

"Ah," said the smoker, evidently busy
in his mind with something connected
with business.
The driver looked despairingly at
him, and after clearing his throat,
said:

There Is No Reason Why They Should
Not Be Used Everywhere.
While the subject of good roads Is be-
Ing agitated in every part of the country
those most interested in the subject are
doing their best to make bad roads
still worse by using narrow tires on
their wagons. Heavy loads are drawn
over our mud roads on these narrow
tired wagons and deep ruts cut into
them, that in wet weather make them
almost, and sometimes entirely, i'm
passable. I have a sort of a pity for
man who urges his team along
muddy road, all the time grumbling
about the badness of it, when he might
reduce the labor of his team from one
third to one-half by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team and
temper. 1t is to be hoped that the first
legislation looking to the improvement
OF the roads of the country will be In the
way of encouraging the use of wide
tires, for one narrow-tired wagon Will
do more damage than a dozen with
wide tires If the roads are at all soft
No one disputes the philosophy of wide
tires, and no one seems to have any
good reason to offer why they should
not be used. Our farmers simply fol-
low precedent and go on using narrow
tires because their fathers did before
them. Lumbermen and freighters use
wide tires almost universally and save
money by doing so, but it seems that
farmers do not care to economize in
this direction. The condition Of our
roads costs us more than any other
single item of waste in this country.
and the common use of wide tires
would reduce this waste Of energy to
a large extent.-American Farmer and
