Afraid Of a splurae.

One of the slickest games ever
worked by confidence men is buying
a farm. Que of a pair looks over
the country until he finds the man
he is after, and he then buys the
farm at the farmers own price, pay
ing from $50 to 5000 down to bind
the bargain. Before the papers can
be made out a confederate comes
along, falls in love with the same
farm, and offers the farmer $4,000
more than the other did. The ag-
riculturist sees a speculation here
and be buys the purchaser off with a
big bonus. Then both men drop
out OF sight and the farmer learns
something new.
was stopping over night with
Connecticut farmer, who had sold
out and taken 5000 to bind the bar
gain. | was there when the second
man called with his tempting offer.
He waited at the barn, and Uncle
Jerry came in and said to Aunt
Sally:
sSeems like chance to make a
clean 81, 900. The first buyer says
he'll take 81 600 and thatTI leave us
the same"
ibid we ever have $1,000 at
once 2"

had the money 2"
"Wall, was thinkin' Of new
watch and broadcloth suit
"And was thinkin' Of a silk
dress and a new bonnet. Uncle
Jerry, we dasnt do it. We'd splurge
in less than "a hours
"Gucss We would, Aunt Sally, and
SO I'll sell out to the fnst man."
He sternly refused the second
offer, and even when $1,000 more
was added he was infexible. The
first purchaser never showed up
again. and to this day the old couple
are holding tie money and have the
papers ready for the trade.

Rem lrkatIe Longevity of the Natives OF
Southern California.

Rem lrkatIe Longevity of the Natives OF
Southern California.
The early inhabitants of Southern
California, according to the state
ment of Mr.. II. III. Bancroft and 9TH
er reports, were found to be living in
Spartan conditions as to temperance
and training, and in highly moral
condition, in consequence of which
they had uncommon physical endur-
ance and contempt for luxury. This
training in abstinence and hardship,
with temperance in diet, combined
with the climate to produce the as
tonishing longevity TO be found here.
Contrary to the customs of most
other tribes of Indians, their aged
were the care of the community. DR..
w. A. Winder,of San Diego, is quot
ed as saying that in a visit to Ell Ca
jon Valley some thirty years ago he
was taken to a house in which the
aged were cared for. There were
half dozen who had reached an ex-
IRENE age. Some were unable to
move, their bony frame being SEEM
ingly anchylosed. They were old,
wrinkled and blear-eyed; their skin
was hanging in leathery folds about
their withered limbs; some had hair
as white as snow, and had seen some
seven score of years; others, still able
to crawl. but so aged as to be unable
to stand. went slowly about on their
hands and knees, their limbs being
atteDuated and withered. The or
gans of special sense had in many
cases lost all activity some genera
tions back.
Some had lost the use of their
limbs for more than a decade or a
generation; but the organs of life and
the great sympathetic" still kept up
their automatic functions, not recog
nizing the fact, and surprisingly in
different to it, that the rest of the
body had ceased to be of any use a
generation or more in the past. DR..
Palmer has photograph (Which I

tory, and careful cross-examination
convinced him that her information
of old customs was not obtained by
tradition. She was conversant with
tribal habits she had practieed, such
as the cremation of the dead, which
the mission fathers had compelled
the Indians to relinquish. She had
seen the Indians punished by the
fathers with foggings for persisting
in the practice Of cremation.
