Oldest Man in the World Dies.

At the poor farm in Henry ccun-

Jan. "a, Hiram Lester died IN his
10th year, says telegram to the
Atlanta Constitution. He was mo
pampered child of fortune, and in
his latter.days at least was a com
paratiVe stranger to wealth. But
despite his poverty he was a noted
being--a human curiosity. Not for
a brilliant career spent in public
service; not for matchless evidence
in legislative halls, but because by
being regular and temperate in
habit and by simple observance
of natures laws he has succeeded in
prolonging his life beyond the
period of human expectancy.
Hiram Lester was born in North
Carolina in the early part of l768.
His childhood days were spent
in his native state, and just as he
was entering a vigorous young man
hood he came to cast his lot with
Georgia.

led to think they actually believe

How Californian Prospector Got q Big
Price for q Mine.
It is the easiest thing on earth to
sell mine in London for almost any
price, provided you have anything to
show an expert" said Maj. Frank Nc
Laughlin to San Francisco Post re-
porter. "There is also right way and
a wrong way to go about it. Some
time ago went to London to negotiate
the sale of some mining property. OF
course the first thing had to do was
to let capital know what was there
for. Then, when inquiries commenced,
1 simply said: Gentlemen, have min
ing property to sell. If you mean busi-
ness and want to buy send your expert
out to examine the property and make
report on it. You will know then
what you are buying
"a company was organized. An ex-
pert examined the property and re-
ported favorably and q meeting was
held to discuss terms.
Now, major said the spokesman,
we have found that the property may
be worth something. What is your
price?'
"'Two hundred and fifty thousand
said l."
That is more than we expected to
pay: We expected to pay about two
hundred. There is not much difference
between two hundred and two hundred
and fifty. If you will drop the fifty we
will take it,
II had expected to get about hun
dred thousand dollars for the property,
so with show of reluctance agreed
to accept their offer. When the papers
were made out was surprised to learn
that they had been talking about
pounds and I about dollars, but was
very careful not to let my surprise leak
out, and that is the way got million
dollars for the mine. Great people to
do business with"

A PET TROUT.
II Feeds From the Hand and Likes to Be
Tickled.

II Feeds From the Hand and Likes to Be
Tickled.
In the rear of little shoe factory at
New City, in Rockland county, N. Y,
there is a small trout pond, the fish in
which have excited the wonder of every
one who has seen them on account OF
their extraordinary tameness and un.
usual size.
The trout is naturally one of the
most timid of fish, but so tame are the
trout of this little pond that one OF
them takes worms from person e hand,
and its latest accomplishment is to lie
still while some one tickles it under the
belly.
A short time ago some one thought
of trying if the trout would eat from
the hand and held worna de+Hvf4 de+Hvf4 ii il the the
water. To his surprise, one of the trout,
the largest, came up cautiously, and
after a short time spent in getting up
its courage made a dash for the worm
and, bore it away triumphantly.
This has been done quite frequently
since then. The trout no longer dashes
for the worms, but comes up gently, as
a horse would for lump of sugar. Nei-
ther is the fish now in haste to get
away, and, indeed, has degenerated to
an Oliver Twist, refusing to be satisfied
until another worm is offered. New

of the citizens are experts in the use of
the rife. Such sports as cricket and
football are, of course, common in the
republic, but one of the chief amuse-
ments in the country districts is target
practice, and, moreover, the old people
have had to live gun in hand all their
lives, fighting wild beasts and savages.
In times of necessity the commandants
in the districts call for their quota of
burghers.
''Ostensibly the reasons for the Jane

no political and representative rights,
but it is my opinion that the promoters
Of this invasion were combination OF
johannesburg inhabitants and some

sign was to influence the share market
and value of other properties so as fur
