WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-A new
herd of bison has just been established
by the agricultural department There

supervision, totaling a few more than

LIVING 100 YEARS.
(From the Atlanta Constitution.)

tE rom Ine Atlanta CONSTITUTIONS
Press dispatches reported in strange
conjunction the deaths of two centenar-
ians-at Raleigh, Mrs. Cornelia Holle-
man, great-aunt OF DR.. Len G.. Brough-
ton, aged 100 years and five months, and
at Bristol. Tenn, Mrs. Jane Trinkle. aged
l0l years. Both women had lived lives
crowded with events, given to the rear
ing of a small army of descendants and
swayed ever by the g~entlest precepts Of
religion.
We live in al age that is greatly eX-
ercised in accomplishing two things:
Living a life of intense activity and
achieving a fruitful old age. The history
Of such women as Mrs. Holleman and
Mrs, Trinkle prove that the two ends are
not Incompatible. Neither one Jagged her
way through the years. Each was bust
ed. almost to the last. with the discharge
of some one of those thronging duties
that have ever been the lot of femininity.
They did not sit in the corner and care
fully shield themselves against life's
tragedies. or worry lest an untimely
draught or a nights sleep lost in nursing
the sick abbreviate their own days.
They simply lived sane wholesome. un-
selfish, sacriticial lives. 1t is safe to as
sumo that they went to excess in moth
ing. The tales we hear of c~entenarians
who are de~hauchees are worth aking
with salt. Dissipation is the deadly foe
Of Longevity. The man or the woman
who would see the generations grow up
and mature around them need not segre-
gate themselves from the rough edges
of life: neither can they afford to tam
per with those ~eXhausting pleasures and
soft indulgences that smooth the moment,
but that slaughter the year.
That Is the primary lesson in the lives
and the deaths Of these two stanch old
mothers in Israel. Just living normally
while many of those around them were
living abnormally, living not so much
for self, as for others. Accepting with
bravery the tragedies with which life
must ever be strewn and being not UNI
duly elated when fortune spilled its
largesse into their laps.
After all, we of the 10Th century are
not the only pioneers In the art of hu-
man conservation. 1t has existed for CEN
turtles before our time. Its ministering
spirit Is a calm mind tempered with
that ordinary care for the body dictated
by common sense.

Probably the most colossal walk
ing monument of impudence, not ex-
cepting DR.. Cook and the cubist paint
ers. is Charles w. Morse. Dishonesty
and ~treachery got Charles w. Morse
into prison. Dishonesty to the phy-
sicians sent to examine him, and
treachery to the compassionate presi-
dent, who believed his stories and
wished to ease the condition of a dy-
ing man, got him out again. The les
son which executives may derive from
the story of Morse's roguery is that
the p%ardoning OF criminals should be
restricted and qualified to the greatest
extent possible. If a man is alleged
to be dying in prison or because of
his prison confinement, as Morse claim
ed to be. release him by all means,
but keep a string on him so that If
he undergoes an instant and miracu-
lous recovery he may be hailed back
to suffer his just desserts.

SOMETHING FOR MOTH

we are going to get it, said a lee
turer in Barre in an address on We'd
nesday evening. The gist of his whole
argument was that there are SEQ, 00O,-
900 900 in manufacturing wealth N the
United States and this could be H.
vided among the workers so that each
could get $4,000 a year, The speaker
added that there would still be a sur
plus of $1,000, 900 for machinery up
keep and other necessities.
The practical business man would
probably find $1,000, 600 a small sum
for the renewal of machinery in all
the manufacturing industries of the
entire United States, but that is aside
from tho main point In question,

The loss of $4,000 annually by farmers
of New York in selling milk at shipping
stations through evident intention to de-
fraud has led to the introduction of a
measure at Albany providing that all per-
sons engaged in buying milk and cream
for shipment shall secure a license from
the State commissioner of agriculture,
and satisfy him of their financial respon-
sibility and good faith. The provisions Of
the New York measure as amended are
very similar to the terms of the law
passed by the Vermon Legislature at its
recent session; but the commissioners au-
thorized to grant licenses to milk deal
ers in Vermont are the secretary of State
and State treasurer.
