NO WORK FOR HIM.
An Anti.Labor Apostle Hunts, Fishes,
and Riddles.

Out in Missouri is mau who, al
though he is turned seventy years Of
age has never done a stroke of work
In his life. 1t is in consequence of Il
vow which old Shrinch Painter made
nearly sixty years ago that he has re-.
manned in idleness.
Shrinch Painter lives ia Stone couu-
ty. Mo. thirty miles south of Spring
field. His home is 4 hole in the side
OF a mountain. Solid rock forms tue
floor and roof of this dwelling. and
the old man is very little burdencd
with furniture.
Shrlnch Is an anti-labor apostle. It
Is his conviction that the world owes
living to every one brought into II.
and that labor is sin. He has made
positive demonstration of his theory
In his own case. for he has never
toiled. Yet he lives in absolute con.
tentment. and has the natural happi-
ness of the primitive Indian. He says
he has never suffered from hunger,
has never felt the need of money and
has never weakened In his determina
ton to abstain from labor.
The land on which the old man lives
belongs to him by right of occupation
1t consists of about one hundred and
fifty acres. and is all that ShrInch pos
sesses. OF course 1t would be work
to cultivate the land, SO 1t is neglected
Hunting fishing and Kidding, ac-
cording to the old man. do not come
under the category of work. aud he is
an expert at each branch. Almost all
his time is spent in the mountains.
where. with his old fashioned rifle. he
amuses himself by bringing to earth
deer, wild hogs, or quail. When lie
gets tired of this he goes fishing. and
numbers of trout does he pull out Of
the clear mountain streams. Old
Shrinch figures at every breakdown
held within n ten mile radius. and
those who imagine that the old man
Is In any way a hermit is very much
mistaken. For his services as violin.
ist he makes no charge, and he would
be highly insulted II any attempt
were made to look upon his services
as work
Whenever Shrlnch visits Springfield,
which is about once year. the aues.
ton of hotel accommodation comes
up. He absolutely refuses to sleep I'M.
der roof. A wagon yard and bun
die Of hay is all that he requires. Al.
though he has seen railway cars, he
has never been inside one
The old man is not at all illiterate
for he can read and write fluently and
Is good talker. The following Is
what he had to say when asked for
the reasons for his strange mode Of
living:
I'VE are Gods children. and. of
course, God will take care of us. He
never intended us to work. When |
was a boy and my father and moth.
err wanted me to go to the spring for
water. TO chop firewood and 10 do 9th.
chores | told them would never
work. They were grieved. They said 1
would never make my way through
the world. l told them | would hunt.
fish and fiddle my way through. |
have done it exactly that way for a
long while. and see no reason to be
discouraged as TO the future | am per-
rectiy happy, and expect to live to be
one hundred years old 1t Is work and
worry that kill people, Y. Herald.

SCARCITY OF SEALS.
Makes 1t Probable That Garments OF
This Fur Will Soon Be a Curio.

MS fur Will soon Be Curto.
The Treasury Department has re.
ceived report from the special agent
who has been experimenting the
catching of fur seals in the Arctic dur
Ing the past season. His report shows
that this valuable animal is getting
scarcer every year. and that unless ex-
IRENE measures are soon adopted to
prevent their determination, 1t will be
but a matter of time before sealskin
sacques will be regarded as curios.
The Treasury Department restricted
the catch of seals in the American
district to $4,000. but the best the seal.
ers could do was to catch 10000 ami
mails. This merely indicates the scare
ity of the seals, for those taken under
the supervision of the United States
authorities Will not be missed In the
hrd. No females are permitted to be
slain In our territory, the killing being
limited to males over 2 years of age.
The danger of complete humiliation
of the herd is in the operations of the
pelagic sealers, those who roam about
the open water ana slay right and left
and without discrimination az to age
or SEX The prey of these sealers Is
confined almost entirely to females,
which are allow of movement and fall
easy victims. A vessel leaving that
territory with a load of some 200 skins
and only one male in the lot is fire.
quent occurrence During the season
Of 1898 the Treasury Department re
stricted the catch Ia American terri
tory to 10000, and during the year just
ended limit Of $4,000 was named
Next year it is probable that this Will
be scaled down to $4,000, with pros
poets for the catch being hardly 10 000
The only thing that can save the herd
from complete extinction. says the de-
partment officials. is an early agree.
ment between Great Britain and the
United States to prohibit the catching
Of all seals except males more than
years old.-Brooklyn Eagle.

sunny Rooms

1t Is said TO be true that In all hospi-
tails those rooms facing the sun have
fewer deaths, other things being equal,
than those which are on the shady side
or the house, Likewise statistics, where
they have been kept, prove that the av-
erage time for recovery Is much less
in sunny room than In n shady one.
From these facts and from the fact
that the tendency toward illness has
proved greater on the shady side of
buildings, like prisons and asylums. 1t
follows that light is second only In i'm
portance to fresh air. A dark room Is
nearly but not quite SO bad as close
room. In the case OF sickness the sick
room should be the sunniest one the
house affords.

While there was moderate liquidation on
the part Of holders, a larger portion Of
the selling was for short account by local
professionals. Later, the market steadied
on the strength in corn and a little better
cash demand. The market closed a shade
higher than last night Continental mar
kets were unchanged. Primary receipts
were 5000 bushels larger than last year.
Clearances for the day were small and
for the week were 1925 600 bushels.
