and allowed to grow to their natural size,
but now she and her mother determined,
even at that age, to begin bandaging them,
for they knew no man in respectable po-
sition would marry large-footed woman.
Did you suffer, Amah?''I asked In hor-
rified tones, as 1 looked at her feet now
three inches long.
"Oh, yes," she answered, quietly; II
thought the pain would kill me, and I
could neither sleep at night nor enjoy any
thing during the day for months and
months; but every day asked my mother
to pull the bandages tighter, and would
sit in the doorway and watch the children
playing and other persons coming and 60

and embroidered slipper, to unwrap the
bandages they must always wear, and show

lieved that the shape Of the foot could
have been so altered at the age Of fourteen.

James ]. Cavanaugh Of Watertown was
40 years old yesterday. He is probably
the oldest person in New England, and If
he lives one week-and there Is every rea-
son to believe that he Widths remarkable
old man will have lived in three centuries.
He resides with his daughter, Mrs. Bart
ley McSherry. IN Main street. His OBJ
servance Of Christmas was quiet and
peaceful Surrounded by his children,
grandchildren and friends, he enjoyed the
day with possibly as much interest and
pleasure as he did the Christmas 100 years
ago. Every attention and courtesy was
paid him. and he was well remembered in
the distribution of gifts
Despite his advanced age, he Is in fairly
good health, and on pleasant days is fire.
Quently seen walking about the town near
his home. He is well preserved in mind
and body, and. although quite deaf, takes
an interest in passing events and derives
pleasure from reading to a limited extent.
For nearly 100 years he has used to-
bacco daily, and during the latter part Of
his life, particularly since he rounded the
century mark, he has taken liquor as a
stimulant. Apparently it has not impaired
his vitality But he was endowed with a
robust constitution, an even temperament,
a mind that rarely worried over trifles.
and he has always taken good care OF HIM
self.
His strong frame had not been abused.
Plenty of exercise and sleep, regular meals
and no excuses have tended to make his
life healthy and happy. To these steady
habits his extreme old age is attributed.
One of his characteristics Is his dislike
said about him. He persistentiy refuses to
have his picture taken, and the only like
ness of him in existence Is a very imper-
feet snapshot taken by his grandson. This

picture promised to be good one, but the
old gentleman spoiled the negative by
knocking over the camera when he saw
the young mans purpose.
Mr.. Cavanaugh was born in County
Monaghan, Ireland, December %, 1890.
When he was ten years old his parents
moved to London, and the boy entered the
employ Of a tailoring concern as an APP
prentice. At the end Of his term of seven
years he remained in the employ Of the
, firm as journeyman. Among the patrons
of this firm were King George III and
King George w. Mr.. Cavanaugh made
clothing for both and remembers them
well.
After the battle of Waterloo, when Ma
pOleon was a captive on board the ship
BellerOphon at Torbay, England, Mr.. Cav
anaugh, with other boys, rowed in a small
| boat to the vessel and saw Napoleon strid-
| ing up and down the deck. He has seen
Queen Victoria several times, but it was
many years ago. He saw her first when
she was sixteen years old, upon the Occa-
| sion Of visit to Devonshire Castle. This
was before she assembled the throne. His
| long residence in England imbued him
| with the true spirit of the Briton, and he is
| thing English. He believes 1t to be the
greatest nation in the world. His love for
| his native country Is so strong that he
never became a naturalized citizen Of the
| United States.
Mr.. Cavanaugh came to America in 1887,
| lived for time in the city Of New York
| and then came to Boston, where for forty
years or more he was resident Of the
| North End and later of South Boston. Dur
ing these years he followed the occupation
| of tailor, and is remembered by the older
residents.
May 1, 1S41, he was married to Miss
Hannah Bartlett by the Rev. Father Har-
kins, pastor Of the old Hanover Street
Catholic Church. His wife died nineteen
years ago. and since then he has made his
home with his daughter in Watertown.

AN EXPERT CASTER.
Man Fishing Boat Who Know
How to Handle u Sinker.

How to Handle u Sfnker.
From the New York Sun
The expert fly caster" said city angler
certainly does beautiful work but 1 once
saw exhibition of lead casting that
pleased me as much the very finest
casting Of the fly. This was partly due no
doubt to the fact that I was personally in
terested in the result, bat without regard
to that, it was all the same, very slick jug
Cling with a Slnker.
This was one day on a fishing banks
boat off Seabright. My neighbor at the
rail, in swinging his line around to throw
out got blight of it around my hat, soft
felt, and lifted it gently off my head and
dropped it over the side to fall in the water
l. dropped lightly with the brim down, and
began floating away softly on the tide, the
boat being anchored. Well, now, you know
that / thought that some dolphin would be
clapping the hat on his head next, or some
mermaid be tying it around her chin for
sun bonnet. 1 never expected that I'd wear
1t again, when along comes the man that
could cast lead. Folks had been hollerin
Hat overboardH and he came along to see
If he could pick it up.
HE was a man employed on the boat
in some capacity, and l dare say he's there
yet He had short, rather stout, tointed
rcd, the kind the fishing boat fisherman
always carries, and a long line, on one Of
those big wooden reels, sinker and hooks on
the end fthe line; he was fishing himself
By the time he'd heard of it and got where
he could make a cast for 1t the hat was
seventy-fve feet astern. He swung the
lead around the tip of the rod and then he
let her whizz, and 1 guess he missed the
hat by about foot.
well, then I gave the hat up for sure,
because I didn't see how any living man
could come any nearer to 1t than that at
the distance, and now 1t was floating far
Their and farther away But the expert lead
caster reeled in and tried again, the hat be-
Ing then full hundred feet or more away.
He swung the lead around and let her sizzle
and this time he dropped the line squarely
across the top Of that hat, with the lead
dropping in the water just beyond It; and
then he towed the hat gently back. and
man on the lower deck reached over and
picked 1t up with a boat hook, and in a
minute or two, after I'd let 1t drip a little,
had It back on my head.
II don't know who is just now the cham
pion fly caster but don't doubt for min
ute that the man on the fishing boat still
holds the record In casting the lead"
