How Old Is TiIda Amp

The vexed problem of Tuda AIMS
age resulted i'm the ruin of a political
speech in salt Lake a few evenings
since, but the incident shows how much
I interest is really taken in the lady's
/ age. a wei known candidate on the
Democratic ticket was a guest at a
/ party In the course of the evening
he was called upon 10 make an address
! on Democracy" and consented. He
portrayed the beauties Of Democracy in
great shape, using mary real cool
words. He had the audience worked
up 10 high pitch Of excitement as he
recounted how the country always

that re-echoed through the room. he
asked. And, now. my friends, what

lean public tOday2" From away back
/ in the room came a shout: How old
IS Tilda AEn?' From that moment all
minor considerations were dropped and
the guests wrestled with Tilda AIMS
age until daylight without reaching an
agreement
The solution Of the problem to the
satisfaction Of every one has not vet
been given, but the majority of the an
sWers favor is. To may be is. but many
say il is some other number. Here is
the problem;
Mary is "A years old. Mary is twice
as old as Tilda Ann was when Mary
was as old as Tilda Ann is now. How
old is Tilda Ann2"
The Logan Nation has the following
editorial on the subject, but the Nation
should not restrict the problem to the
youngsters, as the question has re-
ceived more attention from grown. peo-
pie than from children:
"A question recently appeared in the
press as follows:
Mary is "A years old. Mary is twice
as old as Tilda Ann was when Mary
was as old as Tilda Ann is now. How

Lou Dil1on Broke Her Record.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 1.In spite of a heavy breeze that blew down the home stretch, Lou Dillon, owned by 0. K. c. Billings of Chicago and driven by Willard Saunders, succeeded in breaking her record at the Glenville track. That she did not break the worlds record for trotters, 2:O214, held by Cresceus for two years, was due en- tirely to the wind, as she went to the three quarters pole in 1:31A. But for the wind she would have made the last quarter in thirty seconds. As it was it took her one second longer, the time for her mile being 2O2A, beating her own previous time by hree-quarters of a second and beating The Abbot's time half second. Dan Patch, the pacing champion, also negotiated a fast mile. He was driven by Myron McHenry in 2:O211a, pacing the last half in 1:001a. The POT pace, the fastest regular event of the day, went to Winfield Stratton, Captain Sphinx being second.

There was bio wave of applause when Cal McCrtbv made the first hit for Hartford il the sixth and this in itself was 1aughble.
