UNCLE JOSH HAS 493
. LIVING DESCENDANTS
Youngest Child Fifteen, Oldest
Great-Gredt- Grandfather.

Birmingham, Ala.-The little town
of OneOnta, tucked away in the foot
hills of Alabama's mineral district, has
discovered why there are so many
Smiths in this region.
Uncle Josh Smith, who lives near
that town, is hale and hearty at ninety
nine, and he has 493 children, grand
children, great-grandchildren great
great-grandchildren and great-great-
great-grandchildren. They are all still
alive and will soon have a family re-
union. Uncle Josh's youngest child is
fifteen, his oldest is great-great
grandfather
Here is the way it runs: Uncle JOShS
son, Sam Smith; his son, James Smith;
his son, Robert Smith; his son, John
Smith. and the latter's daughter, aged
eight. There is still a younger son of
Uncle Josh. William Smith. There is
Johns son, Sam; daughter of Sam
and her child. Sam, who is grand
father at the age of thirty-four.
Uncle Josh is a parson and still
breaches in the Primitive Baptist
churches of his section. He is active,
walks five miles any time, has a fine
appetite, reads several hours Il day and
is still good hOrseman and rifle shot.
He came to Alabama shortly after it
was admitted to the Union. His adj
vent was thrilling. A cyclone overlook
him, and he sought refuge in a field
where hay pole stood According to
his story, he held to the pole and was
blown around it like a whirligig. Final
ly the pole was uprooted, but he hung
on, and he and the pole were landed
800 yards away on the hillside. He's
living within stones throw Of the
place now.

Justice.

Each citizen wants to live as fully
as his surroundings permit. This be-
ing the desire of all, it results that all,
exercising joint control, are interested
in seeing that, while each does not
suffer from breach of the relations be-
tween acts and ends in his own per-
son, he shall not break those relations
in the persons Of others. The incorpo-
rated mass of citizens has to maintain
the condition under which each may
gain the fullest life compatible with
the fullest lives of fellow citizens. To
maintain intact the conditions under
which life may be carried on is bust
ness fundamentally distinct from the
business of interfering with the carry
ing on of the life itself. either by help
ing the individual or directing him or
restraining him.-Herbert Spencer.

Mr. Flatbush-I see during some re-

fireplace there was a kettle ON the
