Helena, Mont., April 25.—“If [had never used liquor or tobacco in any form, I might hope to live to a good old age. Having been addicted somewhat to both, though, I do not expect to live many yeare longer. However, my general health is good, and lum strong and active as most menu of 75.” So spoke G, W. Lianley, who is 107 years old. He louked up in surprise when he was asked to what heattrib- uted his long life. Then he told of the ure of liquor and tqbacco, which, le thinks, way have suortened his days, although he has heen only moderately addicted to vither. “T have never given much thought to the rules of health,” he said, also, “except to eat three meals a day and work early and late.” Mr. Hanley is at Big Timber ona visit to hia son, H. C. Hanley. It is believed that he is by far the oldest man in Montana. He was born in November, 1795, on the site where the city of St, Louis now stands. He is the eldest of a family of three chil- dren, two boys and one girl, His brother died at Helena, Ark., at the age of 78, and his sister, who is gev- eral years younger, is still living in Greencastle, Ind. Mr. Hanley is the father of eleven children, of whom s'x girls and four boys are living. All have married and he has forty-three grandchildren and seven great-grand- children. Mr. Hanley was married when 38 years old. His wife is now “5 years Successful Men Have always been and always will be the ones who make a strenuous effort to get some mon- ey ahead—Deposits of one dollar and up re- ceived at TpeBah A Great Sensation. There was a big sensation in Lees- ville, Ind., when W. H. Brown of that place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Cousumption. He writes: ‘I endured insufferable ago- nies from Asthma, but your New Dis- covery gave me immediate relief and soon thereafter effected a complete cure.” Similar cures of consumption, pueumonia, bronchitis and grip are numerous.
