'-S! The Centenarian. Dr. Woods Hutchinson says that when a man says he has lived a hun dred years, he merely means that it seems like that long. Or perhaps he has simply grown short of breath, and so, when asked how old he is, re plies: "A hundred," which is brief, in. stead of "eighty-seven," which is long er. This Is especially true of French nonagennrians. When a Frenchman has reached ninety-seven he has to say: "Four-,core-eeventeen," whereas "Cent" will come out much quicker. Dr. Hutchinson's invstigaions show that almost Invariably your centenari an is too ignorant to know his ag? or comes from a place to remote that nobody can verify the date of his i birth. The doctor claims "that when j we hear it 'aid that people don't liv ; as long as -hey used to. the correef i answer is They never did." 1 oooooooooooooooo THE DAILY CHIEFTAIN 10c Per Week OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 1 y j m Vm h; V h Ii h iliw b-i ma . ii i mf i, ,m ui 7n r.
