Monmouth. Her husband served In
the war Of 1912, because of which she
gets a pension.
Until ten years ago she supported
herself by sewing fine buttonholes on
silk and other gowns Of fine fabric.
She wears no eyeglasses or spectacles.
Her present weight. Is but 20 pounds
less than it has ever been.
Mrs. Terry's vitality and intelligence
are the marvel of scientist and lay.
man alike. Her r~ecollections Of the
days of Washington and Lafayette are
complete. She can recall events which
occurred 80 years ago as though they
were of recent date. She is bright,
i, quick and witty, and her "reminiscences
of European court life and early colo.
NAL days are full Of interest.
Mrs. Terry admires Queen Yictoria
as a monarch and mother almost al
much as she did not admire her as q
child. 1t was 60 years ago when Mrs.
Terry first saw the queen.
II saw her in London at the Kensing.

wasn't attractive. She was little and
too chubby, but she looked real neat
and not a bit proudlike," she says.
Seated In the home Of her grand.
daughter, at 545 North Sixteenth
street, Philadelphia, she talked Of
Washington and Lafayette to a Work
reporter.
General Washington loved Phila.
delphia and used to live here. One day
q messenger came to my mother telling
her that the general wanted her to
cook his dinner, sc I went with her and
helped to cook him a nice meal. They
did not always have good meals then,
My father was once hungry and met
Washington. He asked him for some.
thing to eat. The general put his hand
In his pocket and gave my father a
biscuit, which he was probably saving
for himself"
Mrs. Terry did not marry until she
had reached the age of 60, when she
chose her dead sisters husband for q
partner. He lived but a few years aft
er his second marriage. When asked II
she thought marriage a failure, she
said:
81 had very little time to think about
it when l was young, but my advice ia
all young people Is to marry. Do not
be in too great a hurry. Pick out a
partner who Is good and then lose nc
time. + had lots Of chances when ]
was young, but waited until l was
satisfied l would be happy. Although
I was go years old when l married Mr.
Terry, we lived very happily. If you
cannot find some one whom you can
trust and love, you had better remain
single. It ia much better to be single
than have q bad husband or wife
There are plenty of men and women
to pick and choose from, and, as 1t was
intended we should marry, the only
way to secure happiness is to beaI
with each other both pain and pleas
ure and sorrow and JOY"

Faithful Mary, the Attendant.
One of the most faithful as well as
best known employees Of the New
Haven railroad is Mary, who has been
an attendant in the woman's waiting

service she has never been absent from
her post a single day.

Her record for honesty is almost as
remarkable as for punctuality. During
her % years of service she has found

this faithful work will suffice: A wo.
man milliner, on her way to New York,
left a bag containing 5000 on the seat
when she left the station to take the
train. She did not miss the money till
she reached New York and then could
not remember where she had left it.
Mary, In the meanwhile, deposited
the money In the safe and awaited the

faculty for remembering faces and felt
sure she would recognize the woman,
for she had noticed her while she was

afterward when she again appeared in

way, proceeded to interview her. She

SILLY SEASON NOT ENDED.

That the summer silly season is not
yet over can hardly account for the
continuance of something more than
llumor in the Democratic campaigning
tactics this year. 1t was funny enough
to have Pitchfork Tillman, who has
openly advocated in the past the rul-
ing of South Carolina negroes without
their consent, write the consent OF
the governed" plank at Kansas City
and for Van Wyck, the ice trust man
Of New York to write the antitrust
plank. But Tammany Hall, which
controlled the recent New York Demo-
cratic state conventin without any APP
parently mirthful intent, has done still
more funny things. 1t has put up for
governor on an anti-eXpansion plat
form, man whose only public utter
ance on the subject had been an en-
dorsement of President McKinley's eX-
pansion policy in the Philippines. 1t
inserted a plank in the platform de-
nouncing the ice trust, in which the
Tammany leaders were stockholders.
1t inserted plank denouncing the
Ramapo S700,000,000 steal which Tam
many leaders had planned and tried
to consummate for their own immoral
gain.

BRYAN'S PENSION RECORD.

"The next congress will have to
wrestle with one deficiency of $36,000,-
900. This is on account Of pensions.
The appropriation for pensions for tho
next year must be not less than $780,
100000. 1t is therefore easy arithme-
tic to perceive that the appropriation
that congress must make for pensions
at the next session must aggregate not
less than $1S6,000,000. This tremen-
dous sum would of itself be enough to
run a reasonable government. One
would not complain if it we're an hon
orable debt, because it was never earn
ed by any act of patriotism or heroic
service. The government is held up
and despoiled Of no mean portion OF
this, and it seems helpless to defend
itself. One cannot help being curious
to know how many more years it will
take to exhaust the generation which
feels itself injured by the war. 1t is
safe to say that never did generation
display such longevity. j. Bryan

REASON FOR FARM PROSPER
ITY.

Between July ., 1896, the date of Mr..
Bryan's first nomination for the prcsi-
dency, and July 8, 1900, the date OF his
nomination this year, the price Of ten
of the principal farm products in
creased ass per cent. There was not
a single decrease in price of these arti-
Giles which include wheat, corn. oats,
lard, mess pork, beef, cotton, wool, hay
or butter.
Against this the increase of the arti-
cles bought by farmers was only 10
per cent. There was an actual de-
crease in the price of sugar and tea,
and small increases in the price of
rice, sisal, iron, petroleum, tinplate,
leather, sugar and cotton cloth.
In every case bushel of wheat will
buy more today than it would four
years ago.
These statements are all official and
can be verified from the public records.
The assertions of the Democrats and
Mr.. Bryan four years ago that Nc
Kinleys election would bring misery,
have in every case been disproved.
The farmers know the difference be-
tween distress and prosperity, and
they are not likely to vote to bring
about that old condition.
