ONE YEAR TOO LATE.
CENTENARIAN’S BIRTHDAY,
London, April 3. Guests who were eating a birthday cake at the home of George Hills, of Penge, in celebration of his one hundredth birthday, were surprised to see the vicar enter and announce: “Well, we are a year late. I could not find the birth record in the 1826 register, so 1 went back and found it in 1825. Mr. Hill is really a hundred and one.” Hill is an inveterate smoker, and spends horns in listening-in on his three-valve radio set.
