When a man takes the TT euble to live 105N
years and goes right ahead holding his job,
supporting his family and asking odds OF
none, it must make his soul rankle to be re-
garded as fibbing old fraud when he tells his
age. Bernard Morris, laborer in Prospect
Park, Brooklyn, declares that he was born in
1892 and carries copy OF the record OF his
birth in his inside pocket to prove the fact
The public in general accept his statements as
true, even though his appearance does not
bear out the assertion, but his own relatives
and intimate acquain tances regard him with
mild pity and say he is mistaken. Morris says
he has toiled steadily almost 100 years, and
at the present time covers two or three miles
day, as he makes his rounds. gathering the
bits OF waste paper and refuse thrown on the
park lawns. He has married three times and
is low con tributing his share toward the sup
port of his third family. Yet one of his
nephews asserts that the old man is not
much over 81; a son lodges by, saying he
does not know how old his father is, and men
who have worked with Morris for years hold
that he is not old as he thinks he is.
'Let them say what they please" Morris re-
marks in a sad tone, 81 have records to prove
all my statements. / wish was not so old"
he adds wi tn a sigh.
