Worcester. Mass-Mrs Johanna
Harper Brown, who celebrat
I'd ker l05th birthday recently. de.
livensd a short lecture on the value
of hard work for prolonglng ones
days. The boys and girls have too
easy a time, Mrs. Brown thinks, and
depend too much upon their elders
to clothe and feed them.
Plenty OF hard work Is good medl.
cine, according 10 Mrs. Brown, and
she adds that If she had not worked
hard all her life she would have been
dead long ago. She thinks It better
for a woman to work hard than to
waste her energy carrying q poodle
dog.
"A great fault Of most women to-day
is that they worry too much, said
Mrs. Brown. Worrying isn't going to
help them at al and always made a
practice not to worry and fret.
Just take things as they come, and
take It easy. When women do that
they win live to be as old as I am.
Mrs. Brown Is also certain that the
same rule applied to man win length
en- his days.
Mrs. Brown was born In Montreal
and came to Massachusetts s4 years
ago, making the trip overland BY wag-
on and on horseback. She was Of a
family Of six children and the mother
Of eight Her hearing is perfect, she
reads newspapers without glasses and
daily climbs fight OF stairs unaided
to visit nelghbors IN the house on
Lake street, where she lives with her
daughter.
She believes in the old order Of
meals. breakfast at z, lunch at noon
and supper at 6.
At the birthday celebration there
were 80 descendants of Mrs. Brown
present and five generations were rep.
resented.

its railroad business In Texas. The
town is located on the line between
the two states, and preparations are
being made to move its depot, which
Is now on the Oklahoma side, to the
Texas side.
The change Il made as a result Of
complaints from Texas farmers for
whom Texhoma was the nearest rail-
road point. AS the station was out
side the jurisdiction Of the Texas rail-
road commissioners. they were unable
to regulate charges to and from that
point and the farmers claimed that
the Rock Island railroad took adyan-
tage Of that fact to make the rates on
their grain and livestock from Texho-
ma higher in proportion than from
stations only q little way down the
line In Texas.
AS a result Of the complaints, the
commissioners ordered the railroad to
establish a station in Texas for the
benefit Of these shoppers. The road is
complying with the order by moving
its Texhoma station frOm the Okla
hOma to the Texas side Of the line.
