Not outstanding our strength, but in

The odor OF s.nc,i,x

The sexton of an Episcopal church
IN Boston has many stories to tell of
the remarks and comments made by
visitors. One Christmas, when the
church was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and frs, an old lady
walked up the aisle to the chancel
and stood shifting the air after every
one else had left the church. Don't
1T smell solemn?' she said at last to
the sexton, as she turned away with
evident reluctance. 81 don't know
as / ever realized just what the 'odor
of sanctity' meant before to-day. We
don't have any such trimmings in the

OLDEST MAN LIVING.
Was Born I57 Years Ago and is
Lively Still.
Has Documentary Evidence to Prove
His Remarkable Stateme nts
His Three RuIes of Living
Are simple.

Undoubtedly the oldest man in the
world, and probably the oldest human
being, is Manuel del Vale, of Menlo
Park, Cal. He has reached the age of
157 years.
According to the New York World
he has legal proof of his age. In many
cases of persons living beyond the hun
dred mark who have attracted public
attention there has been grave doubt
as to the year of their birth. Belief
in their age is based upon their own
stories or on hearsay.
Manuel del Valle's proof is docu-
mentary. He has in his possession the
certificate of his birth, signed by the
jefe politico, or chief magistrate of
Zacatecas, Mexico. The certificate,
which shows that del Vale was born
in Zacatecas on November "a, 1745, is
supplemented by the records of the
Mexican customs service, in which he
served for many years.
Were it not for these indisputa BILE
proofs it would scarce be believable
that human being could have reached
the age of 157.
At the time Del Vale was born
George Washington was only 13 years
old. This living man was ten years
old when the French and Indian war
began.
He was a grown man of 90 when the
battle of Bunker Hill was fought.
He was already an old man when Ma
poleon was defeated at Waterloo, be-
ing then 65 years old.
Del Vale was 1o1 years old at the
beginning of the Mexican war.
He retired from active business 10
years before that, having then reached
the age of 80.
He was 20 years a customs official
at Ensenada, Lower California. From
1914 to 1916 he acted as supernumerary
in the Franciscan mission at San
Quentin, Lower California, the first
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1903-03-28

mission building to be established on
the Pacific coast, and which is now in
ruins.
In 1s45, when he was just 100 years
old, Del Vale came with relatives to
what is now San Francisco in a YES
sci that sailed around Cape Horn. He
has lived in Menlo Park since then
and has occupied the same room, his
great-grandnephew, Jose del Vale,
looking after the truck farm that sup
ports the family.
Manuel del Vale looks his great age.
He is little, dried-up, frail man,
scarcely five feet tall and weighing
not more than 90 pounds. He is still
able to walk without assistance and
takes a daily stroll about his house.
He has not been more than two blocks
away from it in 80 years. He can see
but little, but he hears fairly we'll
He speaks English brokenly, but un-
derstands it well. He never was much
interested in the big events of the
world. He says he has never used
liquor nor tobacco. Furthermore he
declares that he never has wet his
feet nor been out in a frost, appar-
emily holding these things to be equal
ly abominable. He never eats solid
food, his only nourishmen being bean
broth, and all day long ne sits in the
sunshine in front of his adobe home.
He has his own rules for the attain
ment of great age, and they are sim
pie ones. They are:
Pray regularly to God.
Attend mass when you are able.
Sit in the sun.
