The Daily British _ YEA CELEBRATES B0TH ANNIVER. SARY OF HER WEDDING. Mrs. Thomas Chapmen, of harlem, | Was Not Married Till Very Late In Life Her Husband Forty-Two Years Her Junior, Athens Reporter. In a'small farm house on the road between Harlem and Portland, lives a wonderful little old woman, who 'ds, as accurately as her relatives can ell, 4 hundred dnd fifteen . years old. as | The writer had the privilege re- cently of attending the golden wed- ing of this interesting personage, and of seeing and talking with her. Mrs. Jane Chapman is her name, Of her early history little can be learned, but 'tis small wonder since she has outgrown all who knew her in her youth, and many who might have remembered her in the prime of her life. When questioned about] the matter herself she will inform the inquirer that she does not think of the past, but is looking forward to the future. She told the writer, however, that she was born in Ire- land," that her parents died when she was thirteen, leaving herself and "three brothers orphans, and that she came to Canada to live with an uncle. 3 She was then Jane McLean, but fifty years ago at Portland, she met Thomas Chapman, forty-two years her junior, and became his bride. The couple settled first in South Burgess, but during their half cen- tury of married life have lived for different lengths of fime at Thous- and acres, Duncan Hill, Chantry, Forfar, Narrows, Rideau Lake and Bastard. ones Farming on a small scale has been their occupation. The wonder about Mrs. Chapman is not so much her many years. 'as her marvellous activity. One would expect to find a person of such great age almost helpless and unable to get around, or at least very infirm, with the faculties of hearing and seeing all worn out. But such is ngt the case with the person in Question. She is very active, able to walk quite smartly with the aid of '& walking stick, and can hear and Gee better than many people in their seventies. s . Uhtil this summer, when she had, unfortunately, a bad fall, she has done a _share of the farm work including raking hay and digging po- tatoes. . Even now she ' milks a cow morning and. evening and churns re- ularly. "On the ing .of the event. t to be described a bad baked the Chapmans and their connections with- in the vicinity drove from their re- spective d and arrived just before dinner at the home of the couple and took them by surprise.

The two people who were being honored had not re- membered that the day was the fif- tioth anniversary of their .- wedding, and when informed of the fact. the old lady said, "Well! well !

'The Bel gin lieutenant who commanded the prisoners pointed to a major with a scarred cheek, who occupied a second class compartment. He was Major Von Buelow, a.relative of the chancel lor. The Belgian officer stated that he was the author of the shootings at Aerschot. When the crowd heard this they could mot be prevented from yelling 'Assassin ! Bandit! a mort." The train lay in the station for half an hour, and during that time Von Bue low heard the crowd hiss and ery "'a mort Thousands of people were yelling 'at him as the train steamed out of fhe station.

When several of the cupolas were damaged the commandant urged that the men who were most fatigued with the long fight should withdrasy from the fort, as only a small garry Son was now necessary. Not a single man would retire voluntarily and it was necessary for the commandant to give direct that part of th garrison should leave. The command ant, though wounded, declared that he himself would not leave so long as it wus possible to haye another shot at the enemy.
