A hale and hearty old gentleman at
Richmond, II. L.. has been the object
of congratulations the past week. He
a just entered on his fifty-ffth con-

until August Of next ~year-which seems

Halsey Perry Clarke is tolerably
proud of being the Oldest town clerk
on record. but he doesn't get excited
over it. He sort of chuckles though
when he tells of his political victories.
They AVE not been as numerous as
might be expected, for he has been OBJ
posed only three times by "a rival cam
didate.
His bitterest opponent was the pres
ident of the bank in which Mr.. Clarke
is a director. Mr.. Clarke at a direc-
tors meeting opposed one of the pres
ident's plans and was sustained by
the other directors. According to the
story, says the Providence journal
the president was angry and an
ounce that he would get even with
Clarke. and by way of doing so rar
against him at the next election fo1
town clerk.
He got fifteen votes" said Mr.
Clarke with a smile. HE run against

tinued. ''Tha time he rot ten votes
One other man was enough to come
up against the old own clerk, but tn,

He declared he didn't know how t
