FEW SEE SECOND CZMITI.
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Sea serpents being out of date, and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.
One Car to 24 Persons.
There Is a motor vehicle In the
Cultcd Slates for every 24 persona;
In C nla the proportion Is probably
one to each SO; In England, one to
'JOO; In Denmark, one to ,100, nnd
In France, Belgium, Holland, Switzer
land and (iermany about one to every
UK), says the Compressed Air Maga
zine, New York. Ill 1017 It was inti
mated Hint Italy had one car to each
I.ihh) of population; Portugal to each
l.ffiii). Spain to each I,!), Austria
Hungary, to each '.',V0. nnd Russia
to each fun Hi. In Australia there was
one for each 140 of population, and
In South America, as a whole, one for

Indications Point to Advance In Coal
Prices.
All indications point to an advance
in the price of coal with a probable
freight advance soon.
Coal shipments are now being re
ceived much more promptly and now
is the logical time to lay in a supply
of coal, because there is a reason
able amount on hand and because
the price is less now than it will be
probably in a few months.
