HER RECIPE FOR A LONG LIFE.
Maryland CentenaTian Tells How SIZE
Has Remained Active.

Delmar, town that is about half in
Maryland and half in Delaware, points
with pride, says the Baltimore American,
TO distinguished citizen who was Il2
years old on February 10 last. She is a
woman-Mrs. Hester Cordroy-and she
is not only mentally and physically ac-
tive. but she is hustler that outclasses
in her energetic activity girls who are
100 years younger than herself.
Mrs. COrdroy not only lives in house
all alone and looks after her domestic
affairs. but she actually cultivates two
large kitchen gardens. She grows on
ions. potatoes cabbages. tomatoes and
other produce for market. She has been
hoeing her own row for 100 years. or
ever since she was n girl of 10, ana She
is doing it this springtime as usual. she
has been married twice and has a large
posterity, including ten great grandcbil-
dren, but she has declined every pressing
invitation to make her home with any of
her boys or girls,
Mrs. Cordroy, as is usual with centen-
arians, has her theory of longevity. She
does not agree entirely with the distin-
guished statesman and diplomat, the
Hon. Writing Fang, in the conclusion
that the way TO attain the 100-year
mark. is to adhere exclusively TO a veg
etarian diet. Here is the message which
she delivers to this Twentieth century
generations of young women: IF the
girls Of today would do more work and
think less of the paror they would be
healthier and live longer" Illustrative
ly she mentioned that when she was a
girl she used to pillow all day and then
milk seven cows after dark She has
been so actively on the move during
the past Ill years--even since she could
balance herself in an upright position
that she has never had FIVE minutes of
spare time to think about growing old.
1t is unnecessary 10 add that Delmar
and the whole Maryland and Delaware
peninsula is proud of Mrs Cordroy.

Best Wheat for Bread

It is a well recognized fact that the
-four from the hard spring wheats of the
large, well piled loaf of bread of excel.
lent quality, and because it absorbs a
lot of water, it also gives a good yield of
bread. These are desirable qualities and
naturally explain why this class of -four
is so popular for bread making.
The softer winter wheats do not con-
tain SO much gluten and do not make so
large or to many people so desirable a
loaf as the spring wheat flours. Yet a
good, palatable loaf of bread can be
made, and is being made every day, from
this class of fiour.-Bakers' Weekly.

postal cards are specified, many juniors
continue to send their answers In
sealed envelopes thus causing a great

It was two days before Christmas
that I, with two companions, started
out from Leadville, Colo. TO visit my
parents. who lived near by. The day
was cold and dreary, but we did not
complain. At midday we halted under
a tree and ate our lunch, and then re-
sumed our journey.
Looking among the trees l happened
to see a rabbit. At the sight of me he
disappeared. but I was after him in a
moment. On and on / ran but soon
stopped for want of breath and con-
cluded that I had best let the rabbit
go. SO I started back TO my companions.
After I had walked some distance I
was surprised at not seeing them. In

was lost in the wilds of the Rockies.

horses, with bells on their harness.

house there were some children in the

We got to my aunt's house about II
O'clock because we went around to
some of our friends houses and dis
tributed some Christmas gifts. We all
ate a good hearty dinner, and we sure
had good dinner to eat.
After dinner we played games and
went out in the yard to build snow
houses and make snow men, Then we
went into the house and my aunts and

At @oclock we started for home and
made my aunt and the rest of the fam

You might suppose these splendid

are only Of interest to girls; but this
is not true, for any lively boy can get
no end of genuine pleasure from them.
He can cut them out and use them
for a circus or for ornaments, or for

ways. They will help him with his

worst of the argument all the way

thought better OF it and will remain in
office in spite of the contempt shown his

ran assistance was only needed for one
day, and the work was well done, the

But the mayor and some others are of
opinion that $500 is a rather steep price
to pay for one days assistance. Moran
makes up his bill by charging for the
men and teams and adding 20 per cent

vision item to which objection is made
