I sc SCHOOL DAYS Wl HOW OLD WAS ANN? lomes Back in a New Form?, Now Get Busy. Here is an odd little piece of: doggerel which appeared 111 the1 London Gentleman's Magazine many years ago and which gave rise to much discussion. Correspondents seem to have been pretty evenly di-J vided between those who claimed that there were several answers and such as maintained that the problem was unsolvable: When first the marriage knot was tie-1 Betwixt my wife and me My age did hers as far exceed As three times three does three, />ut when ten years and half ten years Wi> man and wife had heen iler age came up as near to mine As twice four to sixteen. ! Tell me, Captain David Gray, ()ur ages on the wedding day. It is the opinion of The Press that the doggerel is erroneous: for, ' if he was six years her senior at the ' dime of their marriage the inter- 1 wening 15 years could not possibly J xsause one of them to grow old faster ; than the other. Each was 15 years ' older, and he still held his six years ' seniority. "Am I right or am I 1 wrong?*' Next!?Darlington Press. We agree with The Press that as ( it reads in the ryhme the problem 1 is uDSolvable. But here is what the 1 author probably meant: When first 'married, A'sage exceeded tnat of ' his wife, as 9 is to 3; after fifteen ( years her age came up to his as 8 to 1 16. Or, to simplify the matter: ' When first married,the husband's age ' 1 three times that of the wife; fifteen 1 ; yeavedater, husband twice wife's age. 1 iHew old was each on wedding day? The solution of the problem as thus stated is quite 6'imple, making the i wife 15 and the husband 45 on their wedding day and 30 and 60, respectively, fifteen years later. Next! i Paying Investment. ">It John White, of 38 Highland Ave, Houlton, Maine says: "Have been troubled with a cough every inivtpr and snrinsr. Last winter 1 tried many advertised remedies, but the caugh continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and ' lung remedies."
