ones. He had determined to be rloh,

lonely trip he felt that when he reaoh

was not the desire for money or

Bearing- Another's Burden.
That It Is not Impossible to ring a
new change on woman's aversion to
telling her correct age has been proved
by the rector of a New York church.
He does not appear to be more than
fifty years old, but declared to an In
quiring parishioner that he was seven
ty-five and added, "I shall be seventy
seven my next birthday."
"The other evening," he explained,
"my wife and I computed that our
combined ages foot up to a hundred
years. Now, of course, no lady Is ever
over twenty-five years old, so to keen
peace In the family I suppose I must
say I'm sevonty-ave."
"But why will you be seventy-seven
your next birthday ?"
"Because my wife's birthday and
mine happen to fall on the same date,
and" with a sigh of resignation "of
course I shall have to shoulder both of
them."
