Her fears were realized when the
surrender was accomplished. and the

This proceeding was regarded with
the greatest alarm and indignation by
the Revolutionists, who. considering
the surrender an act OF treachcry. re-
solved to retakc Toulon, and drive the
allies from the soil of France. Two
armies were marched upon Toulon;

months made but little apparent prog

WORLDS OLDEST MAN.
StOjan Zikits-Gyurgytis Glad He Is
Alive at III.

Alive at 1T.
From the Washington Post Core
spondence.
Besides being one of the oldest men
in the world. Stojan Zikts-Gyurgytis.
the Servian Methuselah, who has Just
celebrated his 117th birthday. has had
a rather extraordinary career. Most
of his life has been spent in fighting
against the Turks. For many years,
however, he was a bandit, and he now
rejoices that by combining thrift with
robbery he saved enough from his
plunderings to live in ease for the rest
OF his days. When asked recently II
he was not tired of life. this venera-
BILE and impenitent sinner replied: "As
long as / am able to drink my portion
of roxy (whisky) and wine / shall be
only too glad to be on this side of
the world"
Stojan was only II when he first took
up arms against the Turks. That was
hundred years ago, when the grand
father of BLACK Peter" the present
Servian King proclaimed a revolution
against them. Joining the revolution
lists, Stojan fought in several battles
until he was laid up by a saber wound
that nearly cost him his life. He paid
back that score with interest a hum
dredfold, On his recovery he swore by
the most sacred of Servian oaths a
vendetta against the Turks. Return
ing to his home, he organized a band
of hajduks (robbers) and ravaged and
pillaged several Turkish villages, put
ting the inhabitants to death for 1t is
part of his creed that the only good
Turk is dead Turk.
Still, to give the picturesque ruffian
his due he always preferred legiti-
mate warfare against the Turks to
fighting them on his own hook In 1923
he found chance, when the Greeks
were struggling for independence, and
joining a band of panitsars, under
the leadership of the famous Salp
Bey. he greatly distinguished him
self. He remained in Greece for some
time after it had been proclaimed
kingdom. but the Turks had put a big
price on his head. and they managed
to = hold Of him. His captors want
ed to make ar object lesson of him,
and decided to postpone executing
him until the thing could be done i'm
style before n big crowd. Agile as a
mountain goat and as cunning as a
fox. Stojan slipped through their fn-
gers and fed to Belgrade. There he
met the future. Prince Milosh Obren-
ovits and tried to get him to start an
other revolution against Turkey. A

PASSING OF THE COWBOY.
The West Is Rapidly Losing n Class
of Spectacular Citizens.
rom the Kansas city JouTna'

From the Kansas City Journal.
The passing OF the cowboy from the
Western ranges Is an inevitable part
of our national development. With
the restriction Of pasturage and the
introduction OF fences the necessity for
guardians Of our grazing lands Is fast
disappearing, and the erstwhlle fam
tastic figure of the cowboy, immortal
ized in art and literature, must go for
ever.
Those pioneers who have lived in
the West for many years have vivid
recollections of the cowboy In his pris-
tine glory. He was a. picturesque per-
sonage, a terror OF the frontier and at
the same time a paragon of bravery
and gallantry. Humanity has never
had a more striking or higher expo
nent Of knight errantry than IL repre-
scented in those men who rode the
ranges and guarded the herds. In the
storm which invited stampede: In the
silent night beneath the stars, and
during the burning heat of day, the
men who sat In their saddles for many
hours and faithfully kept their lonely
vigil were heroes who may well be
immortalized IN verse and story.
The great West, especially that por-
tion which is given over 10 the cattle
raising Industry. owes its development
largely TO the cowboy. As a spectac-
ular and at the same time faithful and
necessary adjunct OF live stock pro-
duction, this type Of man stands out
In scenic interest One cannot con-
template the old-tlme cattle business
without including in the retrospection

year later he went to ST. Petersburg
and was received by the Car Alex
ander II. to whom he presented a me-
mortal depicting the woeful condition
of the Servians, and begging the Car
to intervene in their behalf against
their hated oppressors.
The Car was not ready to play
that sort of game just then, and, re-
turning to Servia, Etojan turned ban
dit again. BY preference he always
chose Turks for his victims, but he
would not fly In the face OF Provl-
dence by neglecting any opportunity
that offered TO make a good haul
elsewhere. He had several hear
breadth escapes, being assisted by
the peasantry, who regarded his oc-
cupation as a legitimate and eminent
ly respectable one.
He was 80 years of age when, In
1875, the Servo-Turkish war broke out,
but he was not too old to take part
in ii. The Servian commander, Gen
Uzum Mrkovits, sent him on a spe-
cial mission ascertain the strength of
the Turkish forces, and he succeeded
in obtaining the needed information
At the conclusion of the war he re-
tired from the bandit business and
settled down at Nish TO enjoy the re-
wards Of his predatory industry. and
untroubled by any conscientious scru-
pies concerning his past life.
His appetite is still good. his teeth
sound, and his eyesight clear His
memory is excellent. and he wildly
recalls six good chances that he miss
ed to kill that number OF Turks. II he
had his life 10 live over again he Is
sure. he says. there would be no such
failures to reproach himself with In
his old age. He was twice married,
and has three daughters lying-the
oldest so and the youngest 40.

no longer the king of the prairie. All
tribute to his personal trustworthiness
and his indomitable courage. The
wreck OF storm, the fever OF heat, and
the romantic associations OF his en-

roic mold.
With the disappearance of the print
tive conditions Of the newer West goes
the picturesque figure of the cowboy.
Fearless, generous, and almost always
admirable. the cowboy must take his
place in the silent procession of the
passing and his occupation must yield
