A Modern Methuselah.

During my stay in Chill, where was
employed as the superintendent of a
silver mine near Huasco, says writer in
the Philadelphia Press, came in contact
with an Indian who was found, after care
full investigation, to be at least 1913 years
old. His name is Jaloquin Happole. The
miners called him Hercules. Happole
was born in the southern part of Pata-
gonia, and is perfect type of the Pata-
gonian Indian, being seven feet eight
inches in height. He is of very heavy
build, his voice is remarkably sonorous,
and his hair, now white, reaches far
down his back and is very coarse For
about fifty years this Indian worked in
the copper region, and he also worked
in the silver mines for twenty-five years.
He has learned to speak the Spanish
language. Men that knew him fifty years
ago say that he could make running
leap of thirty feet with great ease, and
many are the tales of his strength Old
native Indians say that their grandfath-
ers have spoken of him as being old in
their youth. Some OF the oldest Span
ish settlers in the region remember him
to have been gray haired when seventy
five years ago, he, with about sixty
or seventy other Patagonians, was in
duced to come and work in the copper
mines. Happole says he can remember
a Spanish Catholic missionary named
Alondez travelling through Patagonia. It
has been found that this was in the years
174S-49. The first and largest part of
his life he was uncivilized, obtaining his
living by the chase Washington Star.

A thief arrested in Paris, France, had
recourse to a clever trick, which very
nearly succeeded. This man, named
Edouard Bonnis, protested loudly to the
detectives who had apprehended him that
they were committing an egregious blum
der and urged them to take him to his
rooms to convince themselves of their
error. They did so and found none of
the articles of which Bonnis was accused
of having stolen, but, as their prisoner
could not give satisfactory account of
how he came to have certain articles of
value in his possession, they seized them,
together with large number of letters.
His arrest was maintained for the time
being; but he was on the point of being
released as the wrong person when, I'm
fortunately for Bonnis, man, whose
name is not given, complained to the
police of having been robbed of the arti-
cles seized by the police 1t was then
discovered that Bonnis had taken the
detectives into the rooms inhabited by a
neighbor. 1t is almost needless to add
that, when the police searched the rooms
in which Bonnis really lived, they found
great quantity of stolen goods and a
most complete set of housebreaker's tools.

and believed also to contain treasures.

A $4,000 Revenge.

Several years ago one of the promi.
nent banks of the State failed for many
thousands of dollars. The crash war
precipitated by ''run,' and many PEG
pie suffered.
There is story connected with that
bank failure that is known to few per-
sons, and has never been in print. In
that town, ten years ago, there was poor
boy who had patented an invention with
which he expected to make fortune, but
he had no means. He called on the Presi-
dent of the bank for help, but was re-
pulsed and told to return to his work and
give up such foolish ideas.
The young man struggled along for a
couple of years before he got the needed
financial assistance. think all he wanted
was $500.
The invention was a success, and in
four years he was worth $780, 900. He
purchased some Of the bank stock
enough to be on the inside-and made
deposits sufficient to be on friendly terms
with the officials of the bank. In few
months he discovered that the bank Presi-
dent had loaned large sums of money Oh
poor security, and that ''run" would
bring about failure.
He sold his stock and began checking
his deposits, claiming he needed the
money for investments. When he had a
small balance on hand he went to several
heavy depositors and told them the bank
was shaky, and advised them to get their
money. This started the run, and in two
hours the bank was closed.
GLOW much was the balance he left in
the bank2"
"Fifteen thousand dollars This he
lost, but he has told me frequently that
the SIS, 200 he lost was nothing to the
satisfaction he had in seeing the bank go
under, and the wealthy President, who
had treated him so harshly, made penni-
less.-IRdi0Rap0IsS Ne1os.

THE SEASONS.

Sweet childhood, what dream it is
Unreal as that of night
A little May of poisoning bliss
With warmth and sunshine bright!
No doubt to chill its budding faith,
No past to cloud the soul
Alustrous, silvery, noon-tide wrath,
With heaven its starry goal
Bold youth All, tender are the chords
Its halcyon harp sends forth!
Ambition teeming thought affords
Weird as the frost-clad north
And love with wild ecstatic fame
Leaps high in rapt,E Gus joy
Gorgeous the shining mines of fame.
All gold without alloy!
Ripe manhood! Real the war of life,
Medical visions now,
But fiery passions, wrestling, rifei
Hardzwrought the toii-bound brow
Laurels lie not in every path
Bread is the priceless boon!
Triumph the hooking aftermath
That seldom comes too soon
And seel Old age is in the air.
The garish lights burn lowl
Distant the fields that once were fart
Yonder the wild flowers blowl
Sail on, o soul roseate morn
Awaits thine opening eyes,
When waking amid scenes new born
Beyond the cloudless skies,
-Dau'd G. Adee, in Washington S.ar.
