fUe Years Married.

Mr. and Mrs David McCandless. Of No. 14s
Orchard street, Elizabeth. are believed to be the
Oldest married couple in the State Of New Jersey.
as they certainly are among its Oldest residents.
Mr. and Mrs. McCandless have been married
sxty-flve years. In & land OF many divorces and
much domestic unhappiness they achieved record
FOR long years Of happy married life which it would
be hard TO equal anywhere and now, IN the declin-
ing years of their life. they have thu qualification OF
having their children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren around them.
David McCandless IS ninety-four years old. His
wife is eighty-seyen. Both come Of good Scotch
Irish stock and were born near Derry, Ireland. In
their case, as IN that OF certain world-renOwned
lovers the course Of true love never did run
smooth" AIary's father was bitterly opposed to
the young man who had the temerity TO seek the
hand OF his daughter, for the young man was no
richer than most men OF his age are. The upshot Of
this paternal opposition was that David and Mary
after standing it for while, finally took the bit be-
tween their teeth. and away and got married
That was when he twenty-eght and she a fair
haired girl Of twenty-five, with blue eyes and
q complexion Of roses and cream.
When they returned TO ask the old people s
forgiveness and blessing. it stern and cold
father who heard their story, and received their
explanations. A long time elapsed before he for
gave his daughter and her unwelcome husband.
About five years after their marriage the young
couple came TO America. where Mr.. McCandless
followed his calling of carpenter and seven children
were born TO them. When the war of the Re-
belion broke out David McCandless enlisted IN
the eth New Jersey Volunteers. Conpany G. and
served three years. He is member OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic. and pays his dues regularly,
although deafness has prevented his attending tle
meetings OF late wears.
OF their seven children, five are living all but one
OF them IN Elizabeth. They are John, who ives

There are twenty grandchildren, nineteen great
grandchildren and one great -great-grandchild.

fear that he may become blind.
Mrs McCandless has always felt scorn for make
believes and she makes exception 10 such con-
trivances as ear trumpets and false teeth. Mr.. Nc
Candless has worn out TWO sets of the latter, but
his wife has never consented 10 adopt them, al
though she has not tooth in her head. She has
never worn glasses. but manages even now to

7 IS very valuable thing indeed, both IN
social and business way. to be able u
speak French. and speak II, OF course. with
the correct pronunciation. The Phonograph
Language System provides a method OF in
struction which is simple and easy for ths
student, and which not only gives the book
instruction. but speaks the language and the
individual words right into the ear Of the
student with the most perfect French ac-
cent
The system not only teaches the Language
in very much less time than any other meth
cd, but il so familiarizes the student with the
spoken words that he is ready in a very short
time to travel abroad, or hold conversation
with the person speaking the foreign Ian
guage here at home. The traveller always
finds guides or interpreters not ONLY ey-
pensive but a decided handicap TO the enjoy
nent Of the trip, and of course, a great waste
or time when time means so much.
French, German and Spanish are all quickly
and easily learned through the medium Of the
Edison Phonograph Records, and the L o S
Language System. This system is indorsed
by the French Embassy, and has been very
highly recommended by every person who
could speak with authority that has known
or examined it.
The outfit includes an Edison Standard
Phonograph Machine, with the necessary at
tachments, including a 14-inch horn twenty
