Emmetsburg, April 23.--It is a far
cry as spans of human life are reck-
oned from 1898 to 1909, yet the state
of Iowa boasts man who has been
on this mundane sphere i'll years. He
is the oldest man in hawkeyedom, If
indeed he is not the oldest in the
United States. Stranger still he declares
he never has had the service of a
physician.
This patriarch Of more than eleven
decades-two score years more than
the biblical allotment--is spending the
long-draw twilight of his existence at
the county house in Palo Alto county
and despite his weight of years he de-
clared on his birthday, which was mod
estly celebrated last month, that he
never felt better in his life. The stew
ard of the institution testified that the
old mans health is as good as it was
ten years ago when he became county
charge
Dennis Ricard has not the enthusi-
~
has he childishness of great age. He
worked regularly up to last fall-not
doing big days work but doing more
than the average man of GO finds him
self capable of accomplishing. The only
faculty that is at all impaired is his
hearing, altho he is far from totally
deaf His eyesight is still good.
Sailed Before the Mast.
Born at Howth's Head, in the county
of Dublin, Ireland, he was Injured to
toll. He had no educational oppor-
tunities and when he became old
enough to shift for himself he took to
the sea and for forty years sailed be-
fore the mast. He was shipwrecked
near Behring sea on the coast of ST.
IBERIA, and for three months was iso-
lated among the Eskimo. He visited
practically every port in the world
firing of a sea-faring life, he came
to the United States to make his home
He worked at various points as a day
la.borer, among other employers, hav-
ing at one time Abraham Lincoln. He
speaks Of Lincoln reverently but with
| a certain reserve that indicates all was
not smooth between the martyred pres
| ident and the patriarch. 1t developed
there was a dispute between the two
as to the exact amount of cord woot
