UNCLE NOAH RABY.
Inmate of a New Jersey POOrhOuse
124 Years Old.

New Brunswick, n. j., March 31-Noab
Raby, an inmate of the Piscataway PoDr
Farm, will be 124 years old tomorrow. and
Hummer, Overseer of the farm, has known
the man for more than fifty ars, and he
himself is firm in the belief that Raby is
far past the century point. As he sits in an
oid-fa shioned arm chair before the fire
in Mr.. Hummer's house the old man looks
every bit a centenarian.
Uncle Noah is short and much bent.
Sometimes his eyes sparkle, but they are
sightIess, as he became blind about ten
yearsago. Although hisshoulders are some
what contracted, the muscles OF his legs and
arms are as firm as they were thirty years
ago. He is toothless and in talking he gives
vent to a weird whistling noise. But his
voice is strong and clear, and his laugh is
hearty. His accent is of the South.
He has enjoyed excellent health since he
was eighteen years old, when he recovered
from a serious illness. His mind is Won
derfuily alert, and he is quick at replying
to any question. Boiled fish or rice, or
mans simple diet.
Heweighs onI va bout 90 pounds, a Though
at his best he seldom averaged more than
100. Noah has developed a fondness for
an occasional glass or rye whisky, and
downs il like j connoisscur. He says he was
born at Eatonton, Gates county, N. C., on
April ,1772- He a lsO says he heard WASH
ington speak at Norfolk. Va. At that time
Raby was q sailor In the United States
Navy.

little over year ago.
This arrangement suited Mrs. Foster In
every respect, as she had been earnestly
hoping that she would be able to present
her husband with son rather than u
daughter.
MOTHERS ARE SATISFIED.
As both babes are in good health the
mothers appear satisfied with the present
arrangement, and they VOW their intention
of abiding by 1t.
AS the case now stands Mrs. Morton
cannot tell whether she is nursing her
daughter or her granddaughter, and Mrs.
Foster is at q loss TO know whether Sue
is rearing her brother or her son. Friends
of the family predict that Mrs. MOrton's
wise decision will avoid family friction

Mrs. Foster, who lives In Trevorton, was
summoned to the home OF her mother in
Irish Valley, about four miles distant, on
Sunday afternoon and responded promptly,
although she was soon to become mother.
The jolting of the vehicle over the rough
roads, however, proved too much for her
and caused the premature birth OF her child.
