HAS SEEN FOUR REIGNS.
Mrs. Margaret Neve, of Guernsey,
the Queens Oldest Subject.

Notwithstanding Queen victoria's I'M
paralleled reign of sixty years, there are
subjects in her kingdom who We're born
years before she saw the light, and who
remember other monarchs OF the English
throne before her. Mrs. Margaret Neve,
q bright, vivacious old lady OF 105, Is
probably her oldestsubject In Great Britain.
She resides in Guernsey, not far out OF ST.
Peters Port, and can remember France
before Napoleon's time. She has Travelled
all over Europe and recounts with interest
the story OF great personages she has seen
and famous places she has visited she
is strong physically, as wei as mentally,
and walks to church regularly every week.
And yet she has lived through the reigns
of four rulers of the British Empire, not To
mention famous literary men like Cole
ridge, Southey, Wordsw orth, Charles Lamb,
and Hurnphry Davy.
