A Rev Theory by an ola LADY Of
Eighty Years.


An old lady OF 50 years has been
saying aloud in the presence OF inter
ested listeners that Il ia far better for
a woman TO marry a man 20 years
younger than she Is than TO marry a
man 20 years older. says the New York
Recorder. As old ladies are persons
who have CLEANED more OF less wis
dom in their life journey, II seemed
worth while to pursue her for further
ideas. The pursuit revealed the no
ton that. as most men needed a bal
ance wheel. and as co few women we're
capable Of being balance wheels. that
the surest way for a man TO secure one
in a wife was TO marry a woman who
had lived decade or two longer than
he had. Women have a more limited
knowledge Of the world than men. any
way. Quoth my aged informant
man OF 30 Is as wise as woman OF 40,
and II the man Of 80 wants a genuine
helpmeet. a companion. comrade aud
chum. he will be more apt TO ind her

years younger than he. The lady Of

the old lady's idea. n carried out
would be a sort OF new woman In

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 90. Charles Q.
Culshaw, young man who, during
July, lived in Toronto, Ia wanted by
the police on the charge of having
robbed Mrs. Elizabeth Gordon Of this
city OF $40. Mrs. Gordon had a
small fortune left her by her deceased
husband. Cuishaw boarded in the
same house with her and che formed
an attachment for him. He was u
good looking young chap OF English
descent and claimed to have aspirations
10 take medical course.
Mrs. Gordon tells the police that
finally, under promise of marriage, be
persuaded her to advance him $40, 600
for the purpose of completing his edu-
cation and that she was foolish enough
TO allow him to leave the country before
she sent him the money. He left for
the States with elaborate promises as
to his affection. On July 18th she
forwarded a draft for $40, 600 TO Gull
shaw at Philadelphia. On july 10th
he endorsed it and deposited it with
the City Trust Safe Deposit Surety
Co. OF Philadelphia, with whom he
had an account. Next day he closed
oiit his account and received check
on the Independence National Bans,
which he Immediately cashed. His
movements after that have barely been
traced. IL is supposed he went TO
Buffalo. for, on July 22d, he posted
at that city letter TO his victim,
telling her in heartless phrases that he
had not the slightest intention OF
marrying her and advising her not to
make any attempts TO follow him OF
recover her money. He said he was
starting for England and would &C
