Remarkable Celebration ola woman's
Hnmdrrd'h Birthdas in California.
San Jose, CAL, October 3.-The
Tooth birthday of Mrs. Fanny
Slinkard, or Grandma Willis, as
she is generally known, was cele.
brated today with an elaborate
dinner given at the residence of
her granddaughter, Mrs. L. C.
Burwell, near Agnews, in this
county. There were five genera
tons represented at the festive
board, bur the guest of honor of
the occasion looked active and
healthy, and, outside OF her bent
form and wrinkled features, de
monstrnted little signs Of the
number of years through which
she has passed. Among those
present to celebrate the occasion
were children, grandchildren,
great-erandchildren, etc, from
several parts of the State.
Mrs. Slinkard's maiden name
WAS WelbourD, and she was born
in Simpson county, n. c., on
October 3, 1897. When a child
she went to Kentucky, and after
her marriage to Thomas Willis, to
the then wilds Of Missouri, and
later to the frontier of Iowa, where
her husband served in the war
again-t In" Black Hawk Iudians.
Mrs. Slinkard was married four
times. She came to California as
soon a. the gold fever began to
spread through the East. She is
the only survivor of a family of
thirteen children. She ia the
mother of thirteen children, six
of whom are still living. She had
fifty six grandchildren, thirty.
eight of whom are living. She
also has ninety-two greatgrand-
children and twenty great. great
grandchildren. Her third daugh
ter is rs years old and does all
her own homework, together with
the milking of several cows and
the care of the milk and butter.
Mrs. Slinkard gave birth to her
youngest son at the age of 45
years. She has always enjoyed
the best of health and has never
worn corset in Der life. Her
only physical troubles have been
broken wrist and displaced
ankle. She is bright and cheer
full, is able to read the papers and
her sons letters, can dress herself
and is very particular about her
toilet. Her mental faculties are
seemingly as active as ever, and
she enjoys receiving and enter
tanning visitors. Her memory is
excellent and extends back to the
time when she was 4 years old.
She has been a member of the
Baptist Church since she was Il
wears old.

THE YOUTHFUL CRIMINAL.

MANY of the youthful criminals
Of the country are far more de-
PRAYED and hardened in crime than
the Older ones. the contagion Of
whose intermingling with the
younger brood is so feared. The
young criminal usually knows
more, or rather is willing to give
out more information relative to
his thieving abilities, than is the
supposedly older criminal. He
generally laughs at the so-called
"old heads for their lack of GRIM
inal knowledge.
The man who can show an hon.
est record up to the age of thirty
is very seldom deep-dyed Grim
inal, regardless of the fact that
even at that early period of his life
he may be under arrest. Admit
ting that he has now committed a
wilful act, it will be found that he
is far more susceptible to reform
than ones younger who may not
have committed as heinous an Of
Tense as is charged against him.
Having at times watched closely
the conduct Of youthful offenders
in heavily populated Jail, it was
plainly noticeable that their entire
mind and body were concentrated
on descriptions and exemplifca-
tons of crooked methods. Trying
| how gracefully they could steal a
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1897-04-22

cigar, cigarette or handkerchief
from fellow inmate occupied the
time not devoted to recording
former exploits of themselves or
their ideal "slick man." The only
noticeable cessation from this kind
of mental and bodily exercise would
be when some fetching reading
matter of the bank robber OF blood
d-thunder type was to be had.
It is folly to think of such Grim
inal sprigs being harmed by ming
ling with prisoners who are their
elders only in years. It must also
be said in justice to the average
old offender that he most usually
discourages their vain exhibitions
of crooked craftiness. He may
not do SO with any lofty moral mot
i've; but even he, though bedraggled
with years of infamy, becomes dis
gusted with the fippant folly of
these Dick Turpin cubs.
Save the youthful criminal from
himself and companions of his
ilk, if you would do him good.
Have the newspapers tell in plain
language what he really is, for
when you have taken away the
notoriety he loves to create, you
have advanced a long way in the
right direction. Then if you will
keep sentimentalists from petting
him with cheap tongue-wash there
will be some hope for him discov-
ering what an arrant jack-ass he
has been.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1897-04-22

THERE has been considerable
said Of late regarding many freak
bills urged for passage by crank
Legislators in different states.
Now that most of the state legis-
latures are on the eve of adjourn
ment we will find, upon looking
into matters closely, that all Of the
"freak" measures introduced were
primarily inspired by the need of
some wholesome, effective law in
the line their freakishness pointed
out SO wildly. The bills, no
doubt, were too radical, and some
times outlandish in their scope.
But we must bear in mind that
extreme radicalism is the greatest
agitator of thought, and the latter,
to use an apt quotation, lis the
beginning of wisdom" Probably
two years hence the extreme radio
alism of today will be chastened
into needful and valuable laws.
We will say to the credit of those
promoters of radicalism that not
one Of the bills urged by them
could be construed into dark
methods of lining their pocket
books. Therefore, the thoughtful
ones will admit that many Of those
radicalists are deserving of thanks,
instead Of ridicule, for the good
that may yet result from their
strong methods Of pointing out
needed legislation.
