THERE seems to be little doubt that
Old Gabriel, the mission Indian who
died not long ago at Salinas, CAL, was
$50 years old. His story, as handed
down by the franciscan missionaries,
shows that when Father Junipero ar
rived in Monterey, in 1869, Gabriel was
already a grandfather. His long life
was greatly due to his habits of per-
sonal cleanliness, which we're strict, and
the regularity with which he ate his
simple meals. The other Indians, how
ever, attributed his longevity to the
fact that he was the first of their num-
Der to be baptized by the priest. Up
to five or six years ago Gabriel's fac
ulties were well preserved, but later
on they failed rapidly.

this the photographer took anegative of

visit to the mosque. just as he was on
the point Of departing he was discovered
by an officer. The officer broke the
photographers instrument to pieces and
arrested the sinner. The unfortunate

dor, who succeeded in having the death
penalty changed to a months imprison-
ment and banishment.

ticed that those trees near electric lights
have been blighted by something, and,
for the lack Of some more apparent
cause, the trouble is ascribed to the
electric lights. The local arboricul-
turists say that the trees need darkness
as much as men need sleep. There
seems to be some reason in supposing

The recent death of the unfortunate
Viscountess Kingsland ended life of
strange vicissitudes. She was married
in 1919 to Viscount Kingsland, the
needy representative of an old title.
At his death she fell into the greatest
poverty, and occupied a small room in
back street of Lambeth, with hardly
any furniture. By making shirts at 4
cents apiece she managed to earn from
80 to 75 cents week. For nearly
twenty years she continued her en-
ployment of shirt-making, receiving .oc-
casional outdoor relief from the parish.
When she was 70 she applied to the
Universal Benefit Society for aid.
The committee Immediately made her
an allowance of $3.50 per week, and
eventually secured for her a gift of
$500 from the royal bounty fund. Af-
terward special subscription was raised
and government pension Of $3.50 a
year purchased for her, so that the last
few years of her checkered existence
were passed in comparative comfort.
