RUSSIAN WOMAN is living in this city today who remem- bers the burning of Moscow, which took place in 1812. She has lived in three centuries. She wae born in 1798 aud will presently celebrate her one hundred and fourteenth birthday. The spanning of long periods of history by one memory ot even by two or three connecting lives has always been a favorite wonder. Experience hea shown that ordinary length of life gives just sbout three generations in a century. One generation is usually on the edge of the grave when the third following is coming into the werld. Authentic exceptions, however, are amply recorded. Benjamin Franklin, who died in 1790, was the grandson of « man who hed been born in the sixteenth century during the reign of Queen Eliza- beth, ‘Three generations thus filled nearly two centuries. A {itmious case wee that of William Horrocks, an Englishman, who wes born in 1667, one year before the death of Cromwell. The son of this William Horrocks wae still living in the year 1844! The two generations thus covered one hundred and eighty-seven years!. When the late King Edward VII., as Prince of Wales, visited this country in 1860, he talked with a patriot, Ralph Farnham, who had fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. The worst of extreme long life is that it leads to lonetiness. As Sheriden eaid: “To any one who has reached a very advanced age a walk through the'streets of the city is like a walk through & cemetery.” | Ao Ta aS GOOD SHOT! FEW MORE etone-throwers like Mrs. W. Holden Weeks, : who took a shy at the window of the Man’s Club, and the , suffragist movement could afford to repudiate the London kind. Mrs. Weeks hes an excellent aim, and placed her missilo * neatly, gracefully and without malice. She eaid nice things to the American man about his cleverness and energy. She called him “Big and etrong and broad minded beautifully. chivalrous in his relations with American women.” But let him take sliame to himself for his clubs! Let him more about the home-discouraging effect of women’s clubs! she does not think it right for busy men to have o place to lounge and rest after « day’s work.

Although its purpose is avowedly social, “there fe little real po tadeship, but a great deel of solitary eating, drinking and lounging.” After referring to the different sort of thing that goos on in women’s clubs, ehe eske: “Why should there not be a series of lec- tires every afternoon in the men’s clubs on how to become a Vusband and father? The man’s club stands for self-indulgence, tho @eman’s for self-development.” ere one thinks of woman u ities, one must admit that here are some excoedin, ly deft and eimble thrusts at one of man’s pet institutions, Every te fee to read the full speech.

Copyright, 1912, by The Pree Publishing Co, (The New York World), No. 20—THOMAS MOORE--Musical Wooer and Poet. LITTLE man, slender, strikingly handsome, faced another very little man, stouter and far less good looking, on the fleld of honor’: one day in 1806. The seconds measured off the ground, handed the combatan‘s their pistols and prepared to give the word to fire. ‘The slender little duellist was Thomas Moore, greatest of Irish poets and probably the most fascinating man of his day, Women went wild over him; women of all classes and conditions. Those of them who were not won by his good looks, his keen wit and his magnetism, fell easy victims to his rendering of his songs. In a set of early poems he wrote about love | in @ way that displeased little Jeffrey, the. famous critic. Jeffrey, in the “Edinburgh Review,” wrote a scathing criticism of the poems. Moore, after the custom of the times, challenged Jeffrey to @ duel. The two writers were awaiting the signal to fire when the police Tushed upon the field and prevented the Juel. ‘When the pistols were ez-, amined, Moore's was found to be empty. Byron took advantage of this acctdem to write, in “English Bards and Scotch Reviewers,” several eattrical Mnee reflecting on Moore's courage. To prove his ptudy which no one ever seriously doubted, Moore challenged’ Byron to mortal combat. Friends, who realized what @ loss to the world and to Nterature the toss of elther of these geniuses would entail, interfered and averted the meeting. No better instance of Moore's magnetic charm need de cited than the fact that after @ brief interview with both Jeffrey and Byron he converted his two former enemies into his loyal, lifelong friends. Moore was the son of a Dublin grocer. As @ mere chil degan to write poetry. And when he was only fourteen years old his love songs were Popular. At that age he had a poetical love affair with an Irish girl whom we nicknamed “Zelia.” At twenty he went to Londion to practice law. He entered the British capital Poor, unknown, with no political or @ocial influence. Within @ few months he ‘was one of the most tatked-of men in London. His personality, his singing and ‘his poetry hed carried all before them. Noblemen vied for the honor of Ms ardent Irish patriot and, even in the presence of Ireland's most bitter foes, aid not hesitate to make known his patriotic opinions. ‘This boldness, instead of entagonising the English, served to make the young poet all the more popular. “Princesses sang his songs,” writes one biographer, “and princesses wept at them. But he declared himself surfeited with duchemses and marchionessgs and profeseed his readiness at any moment to exchange all his fineries for Irish ‘Women were forever throwing themselves at his head. He might have made any one of a dozen so-called matches. But he remained single until he was thirty-two. Then, in 1811, he met the love of his life. She was Bessy Dykes, @ beautiful young actress, She and Moore were married. And their wedded Mfe is said to have been ideally happy. In this it wae a startling exception to the ; ‘marriages of many poets. ‘The husband's diary shows that his love for Bessy never abated in the very least, so long as he lived. . Moore is best known to-dey dy his deathiess “Irish Melodies," which throb with ell. the fire and poetry of bis. ; and by his “Lallah Rookh,” which he wrote im Oriental vein and for which he received $15,000. Lovesick « girls deluged him with perfumed notes and quoted his poetry by the ream. When he visited America in 1804, he found Uncle Sam's nieces singing his love | eongs as fervently as did their British sisters. That he did not find all this feminine adoration wholly disagreeable—or profitable—is guessed from . tie! rhythmic confession: “The time I lost in wooing, in watching and pursuing The light that lics in woman's eyes has been my heart's undoing. Though Wisdom oft hath sought me, I scorned the love she brought me, My only books were woman's looks—and folly's all they taught me.” The rare genius whose writings had caused so much happiness to the white world was fated to outlive his own happiness and intellect. His children die@; ” more than one of them having caused him keen sorrow during thelr Hifetimes. At the death of his last child in 1845 Moore's mind gave way. Helpless, a Gov- ernment pensioner, he lingered on for eeven years, dying in 1862, ’ Dickens’s Books in Their Order.
