The years have withered Mrs. Mcdonald
as: in Rider Haggard's forgotten novel of
She" they Withered Ayesha. Mrs. Nc
Donald was in her youth above the me-
dunn height, and of a robust figure. To-
day she is smaller than an 8-year- old
child. Her height is four feet and she
weighs flfty-one pounds.
No living skeleton in side show ever
had arms more frightfully emaciated than
hers. No mummy's face was ever more
the little, gnarled hands at: the ends of
these emacisted arms are strong and ca
pable, and the black eyes set in the
wrinkled face shine with intelligence.
She sat, on her last birthday, in her
room at the home, in rocking chair.
Many visitors came to congratulate her,
but with none OF them would she shake
hands.
'To shake hands, when you are 1873, is as
wearing as to sweep room when you
are 20.''
But she was glad to describe her pres
ent way of life.
Il eat less than baby she said, "and
I guess nobody in the world sleeps as lit
tie as I. I never have more than two
hours sleep a night. At O'Clock I turn
in, and don't get up till daylight the
next morning, but very little of the time
I pass in bed is given to sleep. In the
dark, when everything is still, I sit up
and think about the past. Whenever my
night nurse comes to see how I am get
ting on, she finds me sitting up in bed
calmly"

staff and a comfort to me. I have never
smoked excessively. From four to six

before breakfast nor an empty stom-
ach. I have found that tobacco eases
pain, helps the digestion of food, cures
insomnia, and lightens sorrow. There

Il advise everyone to marry early be-
cause married early myself. Early mar
r1ageS are good for men. They keep; them
out of bad habits and bad company, make
them temperate, and cause them to be
punctual and Industrious. Early mar
riages are good for women because they
make them happy. A single woman lis
always more or less unhappy, just asia
single man is. We have the Good Books
authority for that It says it is bad for
us to be alone, and that is the truth, for
when we are alone we are Wretched. All
the animals and birds marry early. Early
marriages are what nature bids. .r.s.st
Nature bids us, too, to sleep when it
is dark, and to be up whenait is light
That is why 1 advise early retiring and
early rising. It is always best to- keep
as closely as we can to the commands
of nature. - .s,f.s5a SO 80
young folks should not drink at: all

to use alcohol till they were SO or so years

The committee Of the Daughters of the
Revolution that investigated Mary Nc
Donald's case made report guaranteeing
her to be over 131 years old Mrs. Nc
Donald claims that in her childhood she
lived near Valley Forge, in the township
called King of Prussia, in the family of
Reese Howell. She said she knew Isaac
Walker and his family well, and there
were other revolutionary characters whom
she cited. The committees investigation
proved that the obscure persons whom
Mrs. Mcdonald named had indeed been
residents of Valley Forge and it's neigh
borhood during the revolution, and all her
other statements were borne out by re-
search into the original documents of the
neighborhood.

Officers Can Find No Relatives Of William
Knight.
FARGO, N. D.-Officials have been I'M
able to locate the relatives of William
Knight, who was accidentally killed by the
Northern Pacific here. The different adj
dresses in the notebook on the person of
Knight have been wired, but there has
been no reply. The father of the dead
man seems to have some wealth from the
tenor of the letter on knights body. Men
ton was made of recent cattle deal in
Which large sum was involved and an
offer was made to advance the son $500
to carry out a purchase referred to in the
letter.
For many years the fields in the vi
cinity of Fargo have been covered with
mustard. Last year some of the farmers
decided they could destroy the mustard by
planting corn and cultivating the land
The plan was such success that more
farmers have tried it this spring.
Fargoans are! feeling somewhat elated
that Max G. Tyler of this city was fourth
honor man in the recent graduating class
at West Point. Young Tyler is a son Of
Public Examiner E. S. Tyler of this city
and a popular young man.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 13.-Very
pronounced need of rain is beginning to
be felt turnout this section. For the
past week there has been practically no
growth. The situation is not yet consid-
cred serious, but should the drouth con-
tinue much longer there will be feeling
of general alarm. The cool weather
helped the situation, but high wind yes
terday and day with hot sun makes
things look dubious.
ALI danger of a frost is over. There
were two cold nights previous to last night.
and slight frosts have been reported from
