New York, Oct. 30.-'I am not nirt They say m 70 years old. May be am and maybe I'm not l don't tell my age. They've got to prove it. But 1 love my husband and it's no body's business how young he is if we're both satisfied. You're satisfied, aren't you. Mir Goddard?s
 N With these words Mrs. Lucinda ~seat Goddard of 416 Franklin ave nde, Hartford Conn, whose son, Ed win A. Treat, haa applied for a conser' sator of her estate, following her mar riage to a 2l-year-old Yale student, un- ceremoniously chucked her boy hus- band under the chin.
 You bet am," responded Mir. Goddard, casting fervent glance at his venerable bride.
 The youthful husband, pending his trial next week on charge of per- jury for stating to the clerk of the Hartford board of health, from whom shc secured the license. that Mrs. God dard was only 36 years old, is out un- der bail of sl,0O0. He is small, mar row-chested youth, who does not look day older than the twenty-one years he confesses to.
 Goddard makes it evident that he believes in his septuagenarian siren, |submitting with the best possible eyace to the caresses which sne lav- ishss upon him.
 'Mr Goddard is really the serious member of this household, continued his spouse. 4The other day one ol my friends came in and I wanted him to play cards with us. But he wouldn't do it. He sat along side of us and read the bible the whole time. I guess 1t was to counteract our behavior.
 "Mr Goddard believes in the bible. 1 do, too, in somo things, but in others i.'s cut of date. Take the question of race suicide, for instance. Those ole patriarcas had great big families and it was all right for their times But i won't do today
 You see, we don't lave so many wars and sanitary conditions nave i'm proved so much that if we all had twenty or thirty children pretty soon there wouldn't be standing room on the earth. I've had one child, and he was one too many, as 1t turns out. Think of his asking the court for eonservator for me. Why, when he wanted to get married sent his wife, Carrie Jones. $40 to pay her fare here from Selma, Ala, so he could marry her.
 'lt was the worst piece of business l ever did. For it's she that has stir red my son up. Of course, I'm not afraid of any court proceedings he has brought The finest business men of Hartford will go into court and tes. tify for me as they never would for him. He got two-thirds of his father.s estate and ought to be satisfied.
 'Of course, had some money of my own, but anybody will tell you that I managed all my first husbands business for six or seven years before ms death, l never let my first hus. band touch any of my money, thougn. My motto in life has always 3atn. Get all you can and keep alPyou get
 My son says Mir. Goddard mar ed me for my money. Well, I'll tell yau this. so long as I live I'll hold the purse strings. When I'm dead is aa- other matter. But MT. Goddard won't get my money while I'm alive. tla might skip out
 You don't trust your bridegroom very much?" was asked.
 No said Mrs. Goddard very frank " q trust no one but myself--t this person here" She struck her capa- cious chest as she spoke. That's all anyone should trust. But love Mr. Goddard l never was one for old men. The proyerh says. old men for counsel. hut 1 don't need any counsel,
