Not Many Claiming to Be Over Ore Hundred Years of Age Can Prove It Sea serpents being out of date, and "wild men" somewhat exhausted of Interest, there comes the recent story of a Kentucky man who celebrated the 131st anniversary of his birth by tuklng his first motor car ride. When a report of this sort Is In vestigated It usunlly Is found to lack proof. Some years ago, at a meeting of the Actuarial Society of America, Its president, John K. Gore, said: "The well known enses of Individuals com monly believed to lave lived a century nml a quarter and even much longer have not lu any Instance been veri fied." There Is usually temptation to exag gerate the age of extremely old per sons ; often they do It themselves. Not very long ago a man In England. Inter ested In the study of human longevity, offered $.',)) to any man or woman living at the time who could prove that he or she was 100 years old or more. There were hundreds of claim ants, hut In no case was Irrefragable proof submitted. In point of longevity, women are far abend of men. generally speaking. They nro more resistant to diseases ami they lle longer. And yet women are called the "weaker sex." So they are. muscular!)', but It !s manifest that ihey are the stronger sex constitution ally. They possess what bloh'gNts term greater "viability" u superior ability to survive. MORGAN NOT ALWAYS HARD Great Financ er Proved He Had Kindly - Heart as Well ai a Keen Business Mind. Then' Is no Hotter test of a man's bigness than his way of handling sub ordinates who make mistakes. .1. l'icrpiiut Morgan, the elder, had a clerk who, living beyond his means, sought to make up the balance through speculation; and, having failed, helped himself to the firm's money. The culprit was called Into Mr. Mor gan's private otti.ee. He expected arrest. Instead he was t"l. I to go home and tell his wife nil about It. "And tomorrow morning," said Mr. Morgan, "see me again." The clerk obeyed, and Mr. Morgan, to the young fellow's amazement, handed him 111 bills the full amount of his peculation $5,400 with: "Put that back where you took the other from. It Is a loan from me, and I ex pect you to return It as soon as you can. None of the other clerks know anything about It. Let me see If you can't be a man." After many months the youngster restored to Mr. Morgan the last dollar of the debt. After counting the pile of hills on his desk, to which he had ndded those Just given him. Mr. Morgan observed: "Well, my boy, It was n bit harder saving It than losing It, I'll warrant. Now take It home and give It to your wife. It's n safe bet that she saved most of It." Boston Post.
