Barney Morris, who saw Napoleon rise and fall, who lived when France passed through her Reltjn of Terror, who saw the eighteenth century end in a clashing of arms, and who is keenly alive to the conflicts in the Philippines and in South which mark the closing of the nineteenth century celebrates to-day his laSth birthday anniversary. And is no feeble and decrepit man. bereft of his faculties and clinging to life by a slender thread, but a tough, wiry old fellow, who works his eight hours six days in the week, and says that he sees no reason why he should not continue to do so for years. His hearing is fair, his sight is so good that he can read the paper without the use of glasses, for which he has never had and BARNEY MORRIS. celebrates his Mttl birthday to-day, and still works In Prospect Park.

his sturdy, well knit frame carries hl.n many mUea In the week over the grounds of Prospect Park, where he is a laborer. HE IS AN EARLY RISER. Each day at 4 a. m. Barney is awake ar.d anxlout to be up and about.

It Is with the greatest difficulty that good Mrs. Morris, who is his third wife and many years his Junior, can keep the spry old man in bed until 5 o'clock. By that time he Is always up. and many mornings he is starting for work at Prospect Park by 6 o'clock. For this wonderful old man loves his work, and It Is his proud boast that he never was late in his life.

"Better that I should be ahead of time than that any one should be kept waiting on my account." he says. All day long Barney works In the Park, and as he moves here and there, removing the traces of careless pleasure seekers from the greensward, his bright face, wrinkled though it is by the hand of time beams with the satisfaction that comes from a "sound mind In a sound body." This park. is Barney's pet, and he takes as much pride in Its beauty as the most careful householder does In the gardens that surround his home. "Why Barney owns half of the Park, in his mind." said his wife the other night. BARNEY ENJOYS LIVING.

You would not say that this little old man is perhaps more thai sixty you watch him at his work.
