A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave Of General Andrew Jack
son. which has been carried by him ever
since. Mr.. Brock is a dignified old gen.
tleman, showing few signs Of decrepi-
tude. His family Bible is still preserved.
and 1t shows that the date Of his birth
was written lis years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
bic old gentleman, who has had lis years
Of experience to draw from, would be
interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more preteptious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with a
double column portrait, was given the
readers Of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December II, 1898, and also the
Chicago Times-Herald Of same date

ISLANDERS LONG DRIFT.
Number of Pelew Island Natives
Blown to Sea and Carried 1,600
Miles from Home.

Mr.. James w. Davidson, our consul
n Formosa, tells of a remarkable
Journey made by 16 natives of the Pc
.ew isianos, VINO were picked up near
y dead on the island of Formosa, 1,6G0
few YorA World of recent date.
Some Formosans saw the poor
wretches one morning on a beach or
heir northeast coast, also three ca
1oes the like of which they had never
seen bsfore. The canoes were fitted
with outriggers which helped to steady
he little vessels among the waves In
other respects. also, they difereo from
canoes common in that part Of the
Malay archipelago.
The men were scattered along the
beach in very weak and famished con-
iition- Only two or three Of them
could speak, but no one understood their
language. They were taken TO thefcus-
tomhouse, where they were well cared
for and slowly increased in strength
Only one of them died, and he sue
cumbed from sheer exhaustion about Q
week after his arrival.
Everyone was greatly surprised when
it was possible at last to learn the stor,
Of their adventures. The men had been
fishing a few miles from one of the
! Pelew islands, where they lived. A
heavy gale came up and carried them
eway from their fishing grounds. They
had in their canoes a considerable
quantity of fish, and during their long
journey they lived on fish, though, when
their original supply was exhausted.
they were unable to catch a sufficient
number to meet their needs.
They drifted for 60 days and had not
the slightest idea where they were when
they finally came within sight of the
mountains of Formosa- The next day
they were cast up on the beach; and
it speaks well for the strength of their
craft as well as their own powers OF
endurance that they should have held
out SO long.
When they had recovered Sufficient
strength to undertake the journey home
they were sent to Hong-Kong, whence
they obtained passage to the Caroline
islands, and soon after were taken home
by a vessel plying in the island trade.
This is one Of the involuntary voy-
ages of which so many records have
now been collected that anthropolo-
gists believe they adequately explain the
means by which the widely severed bits
of land in the wastes of the Pacific re-
ceived their inhabitants. In some way
or another the persons found on these
bits Of land must have been brought
there: but the problem how they were
transported could not be satisfactorily
explained as the result of the experiences
of oceanic peoples in navigation.

THEY GOT RIGHT OFF.
And Took with Them Some OF the
Smart Conductors Hard
Earned Cash.

Four men were playing cards in the
smoAlng compartment when the con-
ducIor entered with the request: Fares,
gentlemen"
Three OF them quietly handed up tick
cts, but the fourth did not, and seemed
to become suddenly embarrassed, re-
lates the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Fares!" said the conductor again,
|. this time rather sternly.
The passenger addressed responded
with series of spasmodic WINS, and
tapped the backs of his cards signifi-
cantly when his three companions were
ont looking.
Come, sir; I'm in hurry" said the
conductor.
81 am sorry. sir. but l haven't any
ticket"

cents more"
Boys, will you allow him to take a
rake-off?" inquired the delinquent of his
fellow players.
Not much" was the unanimous an
swer.
NV moneys all on the board" said
the passenger, appealing to the conduc-
tor.
You'll have to get of at the next
station, then"
The man laid his cards face down and
said in low tone to the next player:
What you you dog"
81 raise you 90" was the reply.
The man passed his hand up to the
conductor. The latter gave it one glance.
Then he relieved a fat pocket-book Of
two $40 bills and handed them to the
dealer.
1--WE see your 20 and go you 20 BETTER"
he said.
The original raiser of $40 shifted un-
easily in his seat Matters were becom-
ing complicated. Finally he said:
9TH raise you ten"
Call him." said the conductor, and
handed over the money.
The delinquent passenger called, and
started to take In the money on four
aces, when the other showed a straight
flush and proceeded to fill his pockets
with the money, which included the con-
ductor's.
The latter was dazed. The delinquent
passenger was meek and astonished.
'.Now. you'll have to get OIL" snapped
the conductor.
The train was just pulling into sta
ton. and the whole party alighted.
After the train had started again pas
senger remarked to the conductor:
Pretty slick crowd, Ell? saw 'em

he did not reply. and went into the next

much grain piled up along the railroad
tracks and in the elevators and ware

he conditions have reached the point
where the grain dealers will not bid
for the farmers grain and there is no
