chosen his wife. He said: "There
was some talk of her in the village.
My aunt's nephew spoke to me Of
her, but I never saw her till the day
before we were engaged. When l
heard of her, I went to the puhumy

marks for her. She liked what she

Deoth TakInr the CentenorIans.

During the year just closed a news
paper tried to keep a record of all peo-
pie reported to have died in the United
States at the age of 100. Two-thirds
of these were women, all but four be-
ing white women. OF the colored CEN
tenarians there were thirteen men.
The oldest person to die was colored
man, who was 1875. A white man died
at St. Louis who had claimed to be
14O, but there was no proof that he was
over 121. Even at that age, however,
he was the oldest white man to die
during 1895, The oldest white woman
was 100. There were fourteen people
whose ages ranged from 10 to 12S.

some means, but not enough to enable
her to become a leader Of society, even
if she had desired to play that role, and
as for literature, art or music, neither
of these walks had aroused in her the
necessary enthusiasm to enable her TO
reach real mastership, and therefore
had never been to her the solace they
often became to others. She needed
social environments. Her nature

A Lucky Catch.

A workman in a mine who had
played cricket in his time once saved
his life by making good catch He
was standing at the bottom of a shaft
waiting for bucketful of dynamite
sticks that were being lowered to him.
The bucket was well on its way down
when he saw it strike against some OBJ
stacle and turn partly over. Out fell
one of the sticks. He watched it fall
ing in a zig-zag Course-a messenger
of instant death. When it struck the
hard bottom there would be tremen-
dous explosion and dead miner. But
it did not strike the hard bottom. Like
a player on the field the workman put
up his hands and caught the stick with
that easy swing of the arms that crick-
eters acquire.

toast, The Independent Press as
follows:
There is no such thing in America
as an independent press, unless it is
out in the country towns. You are
all slaves. You know it and l know
it. There is not one of you who dare
express an honest opinion. If you
express it, you know beforehand that
it would never appear i'll print. am

est opinions out of the paper l am
connected with. Others of you are
paid similar salaries for doing similar
things. Ii l should allow honest
opinions to be printed i'll one issue Of
my paper, like Olhello, before twenty
four hours my occupation would be
gone. The man who would tie so
foolish as to write his honest opinion
would be out on the streets hunting
another job. The business of New
York Journalists is to distort the
truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to
villify,to fawn at the feet of mammon
and to sell his country and his race
for his daily bread, or for what is
about the same thing, his salary. You
know this and l know it; and what
foolery to be toasting an independent
press. We are the tools and vass,lls
of rich men behind the scenes. We
are jumpingjacks. Our time, our
talents, our lives, our possibilities,
are all the property of other men.
We are intel Iectual prostitutes. n-Ex.
