MICAJkH WISE, 112, VISITS
NEW YORK
Reporters Revel in Writing of Beav-

Says He is 112 Years Old In
stead of 100 and is Feeble.

Micajah Wise, aged 1O9 or 112
years. of Beaver Brook, Pa, who has
frequently been mentioned in The
Citizen, visited New York City last
week, being taken there by rela
tives living in Newark, n. j., and, of
course, the New York reporters
made the most of his visit, putting
into Mr.. Wise's mouth many views
that he might have uttered and
many that he probably didn't, re-
garding the big city.
Mr.. Wise had a happy day with
his fourth wife, who is past 20, see
ing the big city. One reporter
ferreted out the following regarding
the remarkable man:
He was born in June, 1903, and
expects to live many more years.
He has always spent most of his
time out of doors and says the hap
piest moments of his life have been
spent either hunting, fishing or farm
ing. He likes to hunt deer the best.
He is very regular in his hours,
going to bed about o'clock and get
ting up about 5.
He eats heartily, but never touches
desserts of any kind. He eats all
kinds Of vegetables and likes fat

He is . feet one or two inches
tall, weighs about 1870 pounds, and
has legs like a pair of parentheses.
He says proudly that he is the old
est soldier in the United States. He
enlisted with 11S others in the One
Hundred and Forty-first Pennsylva-
MIA Volunteers, Of whom only 18 re-
turned at the close of the war. He
remembers the Mexican war but did
not fight in 1t.
He has no false teeth and becomes
indignant when questioned about his
molars. Says he can chew any kind
of meat "if 'tain't fried too hard"
Saw his death notice in a Scranton,
Pa, paper about year ago and
journeyed to that city on purpose to
give that ere editor the deuce"
Says that all you have to do to
live as long as he is to live on farm

He went to bed early last night,
saying with a happy smile, I've seen

LESS THAN TWO-THIRDS OF
WHITE VOTERS NATIVES,
Census Bureau Issues Striking Fig
ures on American Citizenship.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The United
States has been called the melting
pot of the peoples of the world, and
never did the pot have more work to
do than at present. Statistics Just
compiled by the Census Bureau show
that the white foreign born males
of 2l years or over now in con
tinentaI United States number g.
646,817. The total number of white
native born males of 21 years old
or over is only 17,710,697.
There are 3,O43,117 white men
born in other countries who, II not
disqualified because Of offences
against this government or because
of unsound mind, are able to cast
their votes for Presidential electors
in November These are the
naturalzed citizens-45.6 per cent.
of all the foreign males of voting
age.
Natives of Germany lead all the
rest in this count of the foreign born
men here. The Germans also show
the highest percentage naturalized-
69.5 per cent. Approximately two
thirds of the white foreign born men
in the country are from northwest
ern Europe and Go per cent of them
are naturalized. OF the 2,631, ,45S
natives of the southern and eastern
divisions of Europe 22.1 per cent,
are naturaliZed. 1t appears, how
ever, that recent immigration has
come in large part from those coun-
tries whose emigrated sons show a
low percentage OF naturalization.
