The manager of the Great Mines Out,

private office was pushed softly open
and the chief clerk deferentiaLy
placed a card on bis desk.
Woolson scanned the card thought

deep lines settling about his mouth.

shook his broad shoulders as If pre-

Two Very Old IadIns-

We have heard a great deal lately
about long lived people. but 1t is prob
able that the Oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81. 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter. however, is nine months
her senior, having been born In May.
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her Joint allowance. She lives
at the village OF Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.
