Lumpkin and Miss Matty Campbell, both
teachers of the public schools of Lake
City, were witnesses ard assistants. The
total number of nouns which Viola used
at that time, including those not pre-
scented by objects or pictures, was, no
doubt more than 5000: perhaps more
nouns than the average person uses
words of all parts Of speech She speaks
very distinctly, fUently and forcibly for
her age: gives concise and accurate def
nitions, makes philosophical experiments
and gives the numerical value of angles
and names by sight of all the different
kinds of lines and angles used in geom-
etry.
Viola exhibits her educational plays on
miniature stage, which was specially
designed and constructed for her use She
seems tc enjoy her work, and her action
is perfectly free and unembarrassed.
This little girl, only little over two
years of age, selects and carries to her
father at call about thirty geometrical
blocks which hang on the back of her
miniature stage. Perhaps not more than
one person in 500 could pick out half of
them. She knows the names of all and
their definitions, and voluntarily corrects
her father when he purposely tries to lead
her estray. She selects in like manner
without an error the photographs of
thirty famous men. She names the leaves

He believes that children are not born

rope and France. Napoleon. the all-pow-
all through Germany. The year In which
she was born Napoleon defeated the Aus
trians in the great battle of Marengo.
He entered Berlin when she was in her
fifth year. Francis l., then emperor, lost
at this time the Netherlands and all of his
territories west of the Rhine and his
states in Italy. Her very home, Wurtem-
burg, was established into a Napoleonic
kingdom when she was girl of fourteen.
In spite of these great political upheavals
and warfare, Barbara Neeser still knitted
on oblivious of the beginning Of the end
of the great Napoleon's career. For after
his Austrian and German victories came
the war with England, the fearful Wa
terloo, his surrender, and his captivity
at st. Helena-the end. Barbara Neeser
lived through all of this. During her
childhood, the great Schiller died; Goethe
was writing his wonderful dramas and
poems; Byron had published his "Childe
Harold when she was twelve; THE Ed
inburgh Review was founded Shelley
was writing his beautiful poems; Piazzi,
in Italy. was making great astronomical
discoveries. Hans Christian Anderson,
Won Moltke, Macaulay, Heine, Balzac,
Victor Hugo, John Stuart Mill, Abraham
Lincoln were all born and have died dur
ing her lifetime.
Mary Vanderplanck, the fourth of this
quartette of centenarians, was born just
ninety-nine years ago in Holland,
and though she has lived in Amer
lea for many years, not one
word of English can she speak,
although she speaks fuently enough In
her native tongue She shows her age
more than do the others, and one can cas-
lily see that her life has been one of many
vicissitudes. Perhaps, in her girlhood,
her home was destroyed by that demon of
conquest, Napoleon, or perhaps her broth
ers were killed in the civil wars then rag
ing in the Low countries When she was
four years of age Napoleon had taken
possession of her native land and had
erected it into a kingdom, declaring his
father, Louis Bonaparte, king. His alb
dication followed when Mary was nineand
Holland was united to France The great
house of Orange was restored to it's
former magnif1cence and prestige and the
Prince of Orange was proclaimed sover-
eign prince of the Netherlands when Mary
was girl of twelve.
Virtually the history Of the civilized
world during the entire nineteenth cen
fury has been witnessed by these four old
women, and now, when life is about ended
for them, they are living peacefully and
comfortably in the home of the Little Sis
tiers of the Poor, where they are shown
every possible consideration and indui-
sence. Viola Rodgers
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-06-04

Few people, in these fin de steele days
of rapid transit and indigestion. ever at
tain their allotted span of three score and
ten, but St. Paul can boast of four CEN
tenarians-an womer-who began life
with the century. Strangely enough,
each of the four is of different national
ity; one is an American, one was born
In Holland. one is an Irish woman and the
other is a German frau.
The American has the advantage by
year, putting her back into the eighteenth
century for Emeline Johns was born in
New York in the year that George Wash
ington died-in 1899.
Though a century has passed over her
head. she is compare lively we'll preserv-
ed-with color in her cheeks and remark
ably bright eyes. In fact. she can sew
and mend without the aid of glasses
Her childhood comes back to her WV
idly at times, although the occurrences
of womanhood up 10 the present time
are vague, almost blank. She chatters
away about little episodes that happened
over ninety years ago, and seems to live
only the pleasant parts of her childhood
and we are led TO suppose that all was
not sunshine in Emeline Johns youth,
for at that time the war of 1872 was be-
ing waged, and the fierce struggles with
the Indians were at their height. She was
but twelve when Gen. Harrison fought
and won the great battle of Tippecanoe
At the time of her birth the District
of Columbia was wilderness where the
present city of Washington was merely
laid out and contained only here and
there cottage. fe
None of the Injuries, or even the ne
cessities, of our modern civilization were
known. Instead the houses were low and
dingy, with no glass windows. The floors
Of the houses knew no carpets, the kitch-
en- had no stove or lamps or coal or
matches Food was eaten off wooden
platters-a state of things that would
well nigh PROSTATE the youth of TODAY
If it had to be endured for the length of
a week
When Emeline Johns was eight wears
oil age Fulton navigated the first steam
boat up the Hudson. Adams was the
president of the United States at the time
of her birth, and Longfellow. Robert E.
Lee, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar
Allen Poe, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Rob-
ert Browning. Abraham Lincoln. Henry
Ward Beecher-all were born while she
was young girl, and she still lives. while
they have passed away, one by one.

While she now lives In ST. Paul and
gazes out upon the Mississippi with its
banks covered with buildings, with Its
electric cars, its telegraph and telephone
appliances, it's luxurious avenues and res
licences, one can hardly realize that when
she was a child this was all unsettled
country, where the red man was mon
arch of all he surveyed and where the
wigwam was the only habitation-"a wild
waste where white man dare not tread"
Ann Lynch, another of St Paul's CEN
tenarians, was born in ireland In the
month of February, 1890, during the reign
of George III. That year saw Ireland
united to Great Britain. When Ann Lynch
was three years of age Robert Emmett
led his insurrection, in which her father,
loyal 10 the old regime, was an ardent
follower George ~ assembled the throne
when che was in her twenty-frst year,
and she saw him ride through the streets
of Dublin on his first visit to Ireland.
Her life was a gay one, and she relates
how she used to spend ner afternoons
with the Irish lads and lassies at the
public houses singing and drinking punch.
While reviewing those bygonc days and
bringing back the memory of its many
reVelS a momentary twinkle lights up
her eyes, soon followed with true Cath
Ole zeal by supplications TO the blessed
virgin.
Unlike most of the old women at the
Little Sisters of the Poor home, she pre-
fers to be by herself and, although she
cannot walk on account of a stiff knee
she pushes her chair along out into the
corridor, where, by a window overlooking
the river, she sits for hours each day
humming to herself. She is indeed CRATE
full for the little riffs of sunshine that
tighten up the winter of her life, and she
thanks the Little Sisters as they pass to
and fro for all the comforts they have
given her.
Quite contrast with the 'merrie life"
of Ann Lynch is the life of Barbara
Neeser, who was born in Wurtemburg,
Germany, in 1900. She is a German of
the most thrifty housewife type She
still knits away with the agility of a
woman half her age. She has quite a
little round face with big eyes and thin
white hair Her girlhood was uneventful
for, in her time, the German fraus
brought their daughters up to make stur-
dy housewives. They learned to sew and
scrub and darn and mend. A modern
woman with her thousand and one fancies
and foibles would have been burned as
a witch then. A girl then knew nothing
Of the politics of the country, nor of it's
literature, nor Of its art. She only knew
of It's homespun and It's immaculate
scrubbed floors, and it's knitted hosiery.
Her brothers knew, however, of the
fierce warfare then going on between Eu-

contrary to human experience She ner-
forms marvellous feats in orthoepy,
orthography, reading, drawing, notation,
Enumeration, calculation, geography, arith-
met1c, physiology, geometry, botany, zoo
logy, physics, astronomy, and in numer-
Gus other sciences. Her memory tests,
her Keen power of discrimination, the
wide range of her vocabulary, the dis
tinctness of pronunciation. the profund;tv
of her reasoning, and the ease with which
she performs, can be believed only by
those who actually see her execute these
wonderful mental feats.
Viola is bright, healthy, well-propor-
q TONED, handsome blonde, with a remark
ably fair complexion brilliant eyes, and

laughing child, giving no sign until called
upon that she is far In advance of other
-ehiiuren of her age. She was born in
sDes Moines, To-, Feb. 10, 1897 and was
adopted by Mr.. ard Mrs Olerich when
she was eight months and four DAYS old.
When Prof. Olerich adopted her he did
SO with the intention of developing her
intellect ir accordance with a theory
which he had long entertained; and the
result has surpassed his most sanguine
expectations Those who visit her and
expect to see prenaturely aged and
nervous children are agreeably surprised
Viola plays like other children. She is as
ssbabyish as any little girl of her age,
save that she does not cry and fret; and
her health is perfect She has never
