cago, and a certain prominent senator
was a candidate for the presidential
nomination Of his party. Upon the
morning of the first day of the conven-
ton n prominent newspaper man en-
tered the senator's committee room In
the capitol and there saw the black
mailer lounging upon n sofa. The en-
ator's private secretary informed the
newspaper man that the blackmailer
had prepared n villainous attack upon
the senator for publication and wanted
money for its suppression. He said that
while the charges were untrue, 1t would
be exceedingly annoying TO the senator,
and injurious to his prospects, Cor the
charges to appear at such a time; for 1t
would place him In the position of q
defendant and might injure him very
materially before the convention. At
the same time the senator could not
afford to pay the fellow, and thus
tacitly admit the truth of his allega-
tons. The newspaper man said: go
and tell the senator that | have settled
with this scoundrel. Tell the senator
not to speak TO him, not TO allow the
fellow to address him IN the capitol"
The private secretary did rs he was re-
quested to do, and then the newspaper
man invited the blackmailer out into
the corridor, where he said; ''You I'M
mitigated scoundrel, you will lose your
life or be seriously injured II you don't
leave this building. You have tackled
game which is too big for you. The
sergeant-at-arms and the captain of the
capitol police are watching you. Ifyou
address the senator you will be injured,
and may be killed. Now get out Of
this, quick"
Like the contemplate coward that
he was, he skunk away, and never again
spoke to the senator. SAITH d. Fry.

The Extreme Old Age of Some Southern
California Indians.

The Extreme Old Age of Some Southern |
California Indians.
The early inhabitants of Southern |
California. according to the statement |
of II. IL. Bancroft and other reports.
were found to be living in Spartan con
ditions as to temperance and training,
and in highly moral condition, in con-
sequence of which they had uncommon
physical endurance and contempt for
luxury. This training in abstinence
and hardship, with temperance in diet,
combined with the climate to produce
the astonishing longevity to be found
here, says Charles Dudley Warner in
Ilarpcr's Magazine. Contrary to the
customs of most other tribes of Indians,
their aged were the care of the COM
munity. DR.. w. A. Winder, of San
Diego, is quoted as saying that in
visit to FL Cajon valley some thirty
years ago he was taken to house in
which the aged persons were cared for.
| There were half a dozen who had
reached an extreme age. Some were
unable to move, their bony frames be-
ing seemingly anchylosed. They were
old, wrinkled and blear-cyed; 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 slow
" about on their hands and
knees, their limbs being atten-
uated and withered. The organs of
special sense had in many nearly lost
all activity some generations back.
Some had lost the use of their limbs for
more than decade or generations; but
the organs of life and the great sym
pathetic" still kept up their automatic
functions, not recognizing the fact, and
surprisingly Indifferent to it, that the
rest of the body had ceased to be of any
use generation or more in the past.
DR.. Palmer has a photograph (which |
have seem of squaw whom he esti-
mates to be one hundred and twenty
six years old. When he visited her he
saw her put six watermelons in u
blanket tie it up, and carry it on her
back for two miles. He is familiar with
Indian customs and history, and care

him that her information of old Gus
toms was not obtained by tradition
She was conversant with tribal habit.
She had seen practiced, such as the ere
nation of the dead, which the mission
fathers had compelled the Indians to IL
inquish. She had seen the Indian
punished by the fathers with flogging
for persisting in the practice of crema
