pear to be more than so years of age.
She has an excellent memory, reads
without glasses and walks with a brisk
step. She arises every morning be-
tween $50 and O'Clock, dresses her
self without assistance, combs her own
hair, and, in fact. does not require as
Sistance of any kind.
She is not affected by the ills which
usually accompany old age. Her
hearing is slightly affected at times
This is caused from an injury received
in a fall a number of years ago. in
which one side of her head was bruised.
But under normal conditions this does
not prevail.

Mrs. Standsfield was the oldest of
family of nine children. She had four
brothers and four sisters, but she is
the only one of the entire family who
is living. She was born at a point 10
miles north of Covington, Ky, which
is now called Maysville. Her fathers
name was Bengimi Wilson and her
mothers name was Clarissa Hall.
In the year of 1872. when she was but
a year old, her father enlisted in the
army as Il surgeon and chaplain. He
served in the army until after the close
OF hostilities and then returned home.
Following this her father and family
moved to Chillicothe, o.. where he
worked as a carpenter and helped build
up the town. They then returned to
their former home and remained there
until they moved to Topeka and ar

The Neilson-Terry revival OF Romeo and
Juliet" according TO The Pail Mall Ga
zette," was largely characterized by that
painful unlmaginativeness which has. OF
late years marred so many Shakespearian
reviva!s in London. For example, in the
Bo-called balcony scene-in which. by the
way. Juliet should not sit on a balcony at
ALL but al a window-the daughter Of Cap
ulet made her first appearance between
couple Of modern glazed French win
dowsD carrying a lighted lamp In her
hand whereupon Romeo cried. But soft!
What light through yonder window
breaks?'' The youth evidently regarded the
lamp as the light. whereas the very next
verse shows that Il was the lady herself
whom he was hailing, not merely as a
light. but. in his enrap;ured way. as one
equal in glory 20 the sun himself. and with
power to kill the enyious moon" When
such an outburst OF alteration is found 10
have been inspired by nothing more than
paraffine lamp, poor Romeo becomes, TO put
IL mildly. rather a commonplace young
man. Juliets immortal fascination endures
a bad setback, and Shakespeare IL cred
tied with quite farcical- extravaganza.
However. the Juliet OF Saturday night soon
put the lamp away. and stepped upon the
balcony. only 10 encounter there another
and iercer Hight in a kindly flood from
that sweet little cherub that sits up
aloft" and is known as the limelight man.
Never have we seen Juliet basking in
such a blaze as that which enveoped Miss
Neilson-Terry on Saturday night, with the
result that when later In the scene she
cried 10 the adoring youth below. Thou
knoRst the mask Of night is on my face,
the line became positively comic.
