WILL CELEBRATE
lOIst BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Margaret Smith is Quite
SpTightIy Despite her
Great AGE

Mrs. Margaret Smith, who lives with
her granddaughter, Mrs. Norris Dixon,
lat No. 200 Madison street is to-day
within a week of her 101st birthday,
and her granddaughter, as has been
her custom for several years, win pre-
pare to observe the occasion fttingly.
Save that she will be confined to her
bed Mrs. Smiths 101st birthday will
be no different from her centennial.
Beyond the natural weakness that is
overtaking her as she adds year after
year TO her great age, Mrs. Smith has
suffered no decline and her extraor-
binary bodily powers are still evident
I'm an excellent color, a hearty appetite
and a retentve memory. Her only
is slightly defective hear
ing.
Owing TO the fact that her weakness
has obliged her to remain in bed, Mrs.
Smith no longer reads, which was
formerly her pleasure, but she is able
TO entertain her friends who call and
Us an entertaining talSer. She has
an active memory and can recall
events since she was five years old.
She has vivid recollections of the Mex
lean War and delights to tell of the
exciting times when Uncle Sam was
beginning TO demonstrate his mettle 20
the Mexicans. She has taken the
changes of the last fifty years as a
matter OF course. and the trolley. the
Automobile and even the prospective
lairship do not astonish her.
Mrs. Smith was born in London
Grove. Pa, and has lived in Whining
ton for forty-ive years. She comes
OF a long lived family whose members
all lived long. She is one of the Oldest
members Of Bethany Baptist Church
although she was reared as a Friend
Her immediate relatives are two
grandchildren, Mrs. Norris Dixon, with
whom she lives, and Elwood S. VIII
kins. OF No. 9SS Chestnut street Five
grandchildren and a niece and a
nephew are living.
Mrs. Smith views the preparations TO
observe her next birthday with amuse-
ment. IT'S all nonsense" she said
this morning with a sprightliness that
would have become a much younger
woman. She has followed no peculiar
dietary or course Of living and attrib-
utes her longevity 10 simple living,
temperance in eating and love Of
fresh air and exercise.
