Oldest Girl in Maine Celebrates
Her Birthday.
HUSBAND SERVED IN WAR OF 1872
ANOTHER WORSE HALF FOUGHT
IN CIVIL WAR WITH GREAT
DESTINATION.

CHERRYFIELD, Me-, Feb. Sap.
pearing in better mental and physical
health than she has for some years
past, Mrs. Levina Cox, the oldest wOm-
an in Maine, celebrated her one hun
dred and eighth birthday this week
with a party which filled her house in
Harrington. Among the many gifts fo1
her were her favOrite luxuries, cOnfec-
tionery and tobacco. She refused a
new clay pipe, because she has one
which she has daily smoked for the last
fifteen years, and declared that none
can be manufactured which will be as
sweet and mild as her favOrite.
Mrs. Cox was born in Columbia, not
far from where she now resides.
Her first husband was a soldier in the
war of 1912, and her second husband
served two enlistments in the civil war
Many of her relatives served in the war
with Spain, and in all cases they won
some distinction.
Mrs. Cox walks about the house with
out assistance, and although small in
stature and her features much wrinkled
she does not look the number of her
years Her eyes are bright and she is
able to read a few minutes each day
without the aid of glasses. Her hearing
is remarkably acute, her ears catching
perfectly conversation in the lowest of
tones.
Her appetite is excellent and she
sleeps well, despite the fact that she
has never used patent medicines which
aspiring advertisers have endeavored to
thrust upon her during the last few
years.
She says that she knows tobacco is
bad for young people and she doesn't
expect to live out half her days if she
keeps on smoking her pipe, which she
has almost constantly in her mouth.
if there are any young men in town
who are looking for a good housewife
she will consider their proposal. There
are four generations in the house where
Mrs. Cox lives, her daughter being &C.
her grandson Al, and a great-grand-
daughter being IS years old. Perhaps
the most remarkable feature in the
longevity of Mrs. Cox is that she has
worked hard all her life, rearing a
family of six children, caring for live
stock, splitting wood and shovelling
snow.

HIGH WATER ADDS TO ROMANCE
Young Couple Came From Prescott T.
Get Married And Have to Pull
Buggy Part Way.

To obtain a marriage license and be
married in Walla Walla this afternoon
it was necessary for H. S. Youngue, a
blacksmith, and Emma A. Sayler both
of Prescott to brave the dangers of the
high water and drive to this city.
While on their way floods were en-
countered and it was necessary for the
couple to unhitch their team from the
buggy and pull it by hand short dis
lance.
The couple was married by Justice j
]. Huffman at the Palace hotel at
o'clock this afternoon. The newly mar
ried people will return to their home
town this afternoon.

TOPPENISH THRIVES ON REDS.
Sale of Firewater at Little Town
Makes Uncle Sam Angry.

NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. S.-While it
is a we'll known fact that the citizens
of Toppenish are very anxious to en-
large their town by the addition of
a certain amount of land now embra ced
in the reservation, and that they were
making strenuous efforts at Washing
ton to make the national government
see the wOrthiness of their desires, it
was said this morning from an author
itative source that the dream of Top
penish for future growth was being
blasted every day by the conditions
existing there in regard to the Illicit
trade with Indians on the part of GER
tain dispensers of firewater.
That the national government is
much displeased with affairs at Top
penish was stated to be a fact, and it
was further said that agents of the
different government services were in
Toppenish, and We're keeping their sew
eral chiefs informed as to the true con-
ditions there, and that until marked
Improvement was made manifest and
would do anything but grow in govern
mental esteem, and its chances Of en-
largement would grow corresponding
ly less
In fact it was limited that severe
steps might be taken by the national
government to see if something could
not be done to curb the sale of liquor
to Indians, a problem which the local
authorities seem to be at a loss to han
die. That something will be done in
the near future is almost absolutely
certain, and not for a long time to
come will the citizens of Toppenish
notice any inclination on the part of
the government agents to look favor
ably upon their schemes for the devel-
opment of nearby territory.

uNkIAD THIEF STOPS WEDDING
Steals Dress Suit and Groom to. Be Ha.
to Postpone Event for
30 Days.

SPOKANE. Feb. 8.-Some unkind
thieves, Or perhaps merely one thief
made bunch of grief for Robert Luz
cas-, foreman of the Independent Print
ing Co., by stealing the swell suit which
he bought to wear February 20, when
he was to wed Miss Hattie Secord. But
the theft of the clothes isn't the worst
of it for now the marriage has been
postponed for a month because along
with the clothes, the providers stole a
deposit check for $110O and the price
of a wedding ring.
Yesterday afternoon Lucas asked
John Lee. proprietor of the printing
company, to accompany him to his
room in a lodging house on the corner
of Sprague avenue and Monroe street,
and view the dress suit. On their ar
rival the room was in disorder, and the

missing.
AS soon as they ascertained the
loss, Lucas told the bank to stop pay
men on the check. The bank agreed to
do this, but notified Lucas that it would
have to hold up the money for 30 days.
Consequently Lucas honeymoon trip
will have to be postponed likewise.
Lucas has enough left to take him
home to Missouri for visit and he will
take his matrimonial plunge on his re-
turn.

But the police finally departed with the
infant, and the eighth precinct station
became as excited as Roaring Camp when
the Luck" came in with the freshet, and
began trying various brands of baby talk
on the little one. They found a clue, too,
for many pieces of the child's clothes are
marked with the initials IN. II. H., and
the clothing is said to be expensive.

All persons whose linen is marked with
those initials are to be rounded up by
the police, with the aid of their washer

will be something like that reached IN

leg, and all the stations were crowded
with men answering that description.

The, Woeful Reflections of Z
Withered Dyspeptic.

No substitute for good nature has yes been
found. Smiles take root in the stomach. With
out good digestion there never can be very much
sunshine for the very simple reason that the
stomach and the brain are twins. and what at
fects one invariably affects the other. The
adage that the best road to a persons heart Is
via the stomach stll holds good.
Gorged grub and pappy pie always hieed gloom
and sleepless nights.
They also breed dyspepsia-quck dyspepsia
and dyspepsia shows itself in a variety Of ways
bclchins. burning sensation. an empty feeling in
the stomach. bloating after eating. brash. aver
sion TO food. fermentation. or downright indi
gestion.
There are few diseases which create snch mis-
ery--long -drawn-out msery-as dyspepsia. 1t
pursues you before meals. after meals and be-
tween meals: you take 1t to bed with You; 1t IS
with you at the theater and at your desk.
What Is the only way to get rid of it:
Iou don't have to stop eating. you don't have
70 diet. Just take something that VIII do the
work of the stomach and let the stomach take
rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the most won
derful little tablets on earth for this very thing.
In plain arithmetic. l Of Stuarts dyspepsia
Tablets = l good strong stomach for / time for
1 good hearty meal. One ingredient Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest perfectly 5000
grains of food in just the way that a
strong. robust. healthy stomach would do 1t.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets enrich aud increase
the gastric juice in your stomach. and that Is
mostly what you neei-more and better gastric
juice. And it gives the stomach a rnst. a good.
long rest. In the meantime it cures the dys-
pepsia and all other stomach troubles

prove to you what these little cheruos Of health
and happiness can do.
