Oldest WeIshman.

The Oldest Welshman in the world
is Mr.. Thomas Morris, who lives at
Westernville, Neb. Although he is
now an American citizen, he was born
a subject of George III, at the little
village Of Berriew, Montgomeryshire,
on January Is, 1894. He is therefore
one hundred and twenty years old.
His father was an agricultural la
borer and died when the boy was
three years old. Morris was appren-
ticed to a cobbler and followed his
trade in this country until 1871, when,
at the age of seventy-seven, he emf
grated to America.
The old man is very proud Of the
fact that he has lived In three CEN
turtles. He remembers the union of
Great Britain and Ireland, the .assassi-
nation of President Lincoln and the
laying of the first Atlantic cable.
Morris can still walk with the aid
of a stick and see with the aid Of
spectacles, which he first purchased
after passing his hundredth birthday.
His hearing is good, and he enjoys a
cup of tea or coffee with each meal

GET AFTER SUMMER PESTS
the Deadly Fly and the An
noylng Mosquito.

Let us bear in mind that one OF
the prime objects of spring cleanup
Is to eliminate the fly and the mos
quito. When we are exercising our
muscles and our ingenuity Kidding
our dwellings and neighborhoods of
dust and filth, 1t will be worth our
while to give these twin winged pests
serious attention.
The first spring fly, of course, came
some time ago, though she is still
pleasantly modest and retiring. 1t is
not reassuring, however, to reflect
that the little insect is keeping care
fully out of our sight and the reach
of our swatters while she lays few
myriads of eggs, which presently will
hatch out into whole flying regiment
Of nuisances and disease-carriers
The shy and unobtrusive mosquito
is making the best use of her time
for the same purpose. When the open
season on human beings arrives she
hopes to have whole army corps Of
her progeny to lead to the attack.
Now is the time to get busy if we
want to preserve ourselves from the
pests a few months hence. The swat
ter and the kerosene can are fully as
important household implements at
this season as the broom and the
scrubbing brush.

AND THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD
Locomotive Engineer Made Quite
Plain What Had Caused Argu-
ment Between Travellers.

Two commercial travellers while In
a train got into an argument over
the action of the vacuum brake.
IT'S the imitation of the tube that
stops the train" declared the first
traveller.
Wrong, wrong!" shouted the sec
ond tits the output OF the exhaus-
ton"
Then when the train arrived at the
station they agreed to submit the mat
ter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman, leaning condescend-
ingly from his cab, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statements of their argument. Then
he smiled, shook his head and said:
well, gents. ye're both wrong
about the workin' of the vacuum
brakes. Yet it's very simple and easy
to understand. When we want to stop
the train we just turn this valve and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum"

HUERTA FOR ELECTION JULY 5
Dictator Opposed To Appointment OF
Provisional President.

Mexico City.-President Huerta's
proposal with regard to the settlement
to which the Niagara Falls peace con-
ference is directing it's efforts, accord
ing to persons close to the President,
is that elections for President, Vice
President, Senators, Deputies and
State Governors should be held on
July next, as decreed by Congress-
He is DESTROYS that these elections
shall be free and absolutely legal, the
Constitutionalists having the right to
exercise supervision in those portions
of the republic now controlled by the
Government, and the Government
agents the same right to supervise the
returns in those parts of the coun-
try now in the hands of the Constitu-
tionalists.
He objects to the appointment of
new Provisional President because
this would cause impairment of the
national sovereignty.

HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out in Ia. found
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
Jokes Notwithstanding. She writes:
Il was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and
yellow. After meals often suffered
sharp pains and would have to lie
down. My mother often told me it
was the coffee drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have severe
headache.
while visiting my mother-in-law
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as !
got home and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
! have no more trouble. Indigestion
is thing of the past, and my COM
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
my grandmother suffered great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try Post
UNI which she has used for over
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to
DO for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum"

INQUIRY WILL BE PUSHED
The Captain Tried To Keep His Cow

Was Going Too Fast
Astern.

Montreal.-The sharp point of an
anchor projecting from the twisted
bow of the Norwegian collier Storstad
may explain why that vessel did such
terrible execution when she rammed
the Empress of Ireland in the lower
st. Lawrence. An examination of the
golfers shattered plates revealed the
could have ripped through the hull of
the Empress like great can opener.
The anchor point and portions of the
battered steel surrounding it bore
stains of blood.
Preparations were begun here for
the inquiry into the disaster which
cost, at present reckoning, 500 lives.
The inquiry will be conducted by a
joint commission of Canadian and
British shipping experts. The arrange
ments for the inquiry, which will be
held either here or in Quebec, are be-
ing made by Captain Lindsay,
Dominion wreck commissioner
Pilot Nault, who navigated the
Storstad up the ST. Lawrence from
Quebec, said that Captain Anderson
told him that Anderson, his first officer
and Pilot Lechance, who brought the
Storstad from Father Point to Quebec,
were on the bridge at the time of the
collision.
Captain Anderson Cried.
"On the way up the river" continued
Nault AN examination was made to
ascertain the extent of the damage
done to the Storstad. AS far as we
could learn 20 plates forward had been
sprung; but after that the ship was
unchanged. At Quebec the Storstad
took in so much water that we were
obliged to food the aft compartments
in order to keep the ships bow up.
There was no water in the hold of the
Storstad
Captain Anderson is deeply grieved
over the tragedy. Several times dur
ing the trip from Quebec l came upon
him crying with his face buried in his
hands. Captain Anderson told me he
had been instructed not to talk about
the accident"

AT the time of the disaster | was
lying in my bunk. l was awakened
by a shock and at first thought the
ship had struck a rock. l ran to the
deck and looked over the side. The
Storstad was going full speed astern.
The water around was filed with
struggling men and women shouting
for help. Boats were Immediately low
cred, and there was not man on the
Storstad who did not do his utmost to
help rescue the people in the water.
We in the boats brought the survivors
to the deck of the Storstad. From
there they were taken into the engine
room, the warmest place on board.
Some of the survivors had been so
numbed by the ice cold water that
they leaned up against the cylinders of
the engines until their flesh was
blistered."
