100 YEARS OLD.
Aged IOwan Has Gruesome Job of
Burying Dead on Isthmus of
Panama.

Waucoma, Ia, May 25.-Undoubt-
edly Peter Plunkett, who is in his
109th years, is the oldest person liv-
ing in Iowa. This patriarch's most
interesting "reminiscences relate to
his employment on the Panama can
al when the French government at
tempted to connect the oceans His
was a grusome task, carrying out
men who had died of disease and
burying them. The workmen died
like rats" says he, and their bodies
were stacked up like cordwood. 1t
was the terrible fever that overcame
them. Our men would work for
months and then a landslide would
obliterate all their Efforts
After he quit work on the canal
Mr.. Plunkett crossed over into Mex
leo and made his way up the Rio
Grande. 1t is his proud boast that
he has slert on every foot of the
banks of that river.
IL the early days he drove an OK
team from New York to San Francis
co. The two years consumed in the
journey were filled with blood curd-
ling experiences. Often he came
across the remains of other travellers
who had succumbed to disease, or
hardships, or had been slain by In
dams.
Mr.. Plunkett is hale and hearty
and quite active for his years. He
eats and sleeps we'll, has new
crop of hair and his second sight. He
wanders about the farm and often
takes charge of jobs of work and
acts as boss or foreman.
Mr.. Plunkett cast his first vote
for James X. Polk for president
Ever since the republican party was
organized he has been a supporter of
it's principles.
He continues to keep posted on
the worlds events, and is especially
interested in the Mexican war. He
declares that he will continue to
live for twenty years, confident that
be will attain the worlds record
for longevity, as he has no organic
effects of senility.
Mr.. Plunkett is a native of Ireland,
where he was born in 1906. Only
two of his twelve children survive,
but he has large number of grand
children and great grandchildren
He makes his home among his kim
The date of his birth is verified by
the parish records, where he spent
his childhood.

OLD MAIDS.

All girls should marry when they
can. There's naught more useful
than man. A husband has some
faults, no doubt, and yet he's good
to have about; and she who doesn't
get mate will wish she had one,
soon or late. That Girl is off her base,
fear, who plans to have a high
career, who sidesteps vows and we'd
ding rings to follow after abstract
things. | know so many ancient
maids who in professions, arts or
trades have tried to cut a manlike
swath, and old age finds them in the
broth. A loneliness, as of the tomb,
enshrouds the spinsters in its gloom
the Jim crow honors they have won
they'd sell at seven cents a ton.
Their sun is sinking in the West,
and they, unloyed and uncaressed,
must envy, as they bleakly roam, the
girl with husband, hearth and
home. Get married, then, Jemima
dear; don't fiddle with a cheap ca
reer. Select a man who's true and
good, whose head is not composed of
wood, man who's sound in wind
and limb, then round him up and
marry him. o, rush him to the
altar rail, nor heed his protest or
his wall. This is" you'll say, when
he's been won, "the best days work
I've ever done. Walt Mason.

Iowa People Buying Automobiles.

Des Moines, May 25.-Eighty per
cent of the automobile registrations
now being made in Iowa are of new
cars.
Practically 500 applications are
made each day. or, in other words,
every day the PEOPLE of Iowa buy
400 new automo biles.
Already the registration has far
passed the final mark of 1912 and
the applications come with steady
stream. 1t is said that a large part
of the purchases now are by farmers.
In fact ii has been the farm buying
of cars that has kept up the bust
ness to such nigh tension

against the almost universal custom
known as 'spooning.' In parlors, on

lads and lasses tightly folded in each
others arms, like wrestlers Of equal
strength. Bah!
But, you ask me, what's the
harm? A kiss is only trife.

a trifle-and 80 is a spark.
