ROBINSON CRUsoE's RESCUE
Actual Facts Of SeIkirk's Return to
Scotland and 10 Civilized Life.

1t was only after Sclkirk had watched
from his familiar lookout. in fair wealth
or and foul, for more than four years
that he was finally rewarded by the
sight Of his old ship. When Captain
Damper landed upon the beach. S"lkirli
was already standing on the edge of the
forest waving a white flag. In honor
of the visit he wore his last shirt, which
he had carefully kept for years for this
occasion. The captain aiterward noted
in his account that Sclkirk spoke In
voice which, for all his pains, sounded
scarcely human. His feet had been hard
ened like leather from long exposure.
For many weeks he refused to touch any
liquor, nor had he any appetite for civil
iZed foods. Selfrh greeted his old ship
mates with a delight that may be
ina gined. and before leaving his island
he entertained the ships crew in his
house
The island was visited but once by any
ship during Selkirk's long exile. A
Spanish ship once landed on the island
4 small company who caught tiecting
glimpse oi Selkirk. In those days the
Spanish were the deadly enemies OF the
English, and doubtless Selkirk had rec
oeni2cd the ships colors from his look
out and drawn his own conclusions. In
the story of Crisoc, it will be remem-
hercd Defoe makes much of this visit
of tho Spanish. and has them PROSTATE
themselves before Crusoe as the gov
crnor of the island. A a matter Of
fact. however. CrlsOc Cor Selkirk played
4 much less disnihed part than Defoe
would have US believe. The Spanish shot
at and chased him for some distance
without success. A bulldog which they
had brought ashore was pressed into the
service; but Selkirk, from his long train
ing with the goats, outran tho bulldog.
Growing tired of the chase. Sekirk
finally climbed II tree. The Spanish
built "A fire and camped near his hiding
place. but finally left without discover
ing him.
The solitude OF many hardships of
this lonely life would doubtless have
driven most men crazy. Sekirk. how

NOT MANY DESIRABLE FARMS FOR

(From the Rutland News)
One man who is looking for a small
farm near Rutland tells the News that he
finds practically nothing of the descrp-
ton he calls for on the market. At least
he has advertised his wants for some
time and has been offered nothing. lie
concluded that those who own farm pro-
perty near this city are pretty well salts
fled with their holdings and are not anx-
ious To sell. This is somewhat contrary
TO the general opinion which pre-
walls. that the present tendency of
the price Of farm property is downward
and will continue ~ for a year or SO, a.
least. before any Improvement in prices
will set in.

THE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER.

There was great philosopher
Lived years and years ago.
And such merry soul was he
They called him Laughing Joe.
For laugh he would throughout the year,
Let things go wrong or right;
Let Fortune smile or Fortune frown.
His heart was ever light.
And little children every day
Would gather round his place
To listen to his hearty laugh
or sec his smiling face.
But gloomy minded people said
They thought it was A shame
A man should he disposed to laugh
At good and bad the same.
At last they gathered in a crowd
And pulled his dwelling down:
They hustled him around the streets
And drove him from the town.
To End a home beyond the sea
iron a foreign strand.
And never dare to set foot
tpun his native land
But when they chased him from tho
rcalm
Those pcnnlo little knew
What even one cood-na tured soul
And smiling face can do.
Now children seeking after Joe
Would round tho ruins stray,
And grieve because tho people drove
Their laughing friend away.
And long before Il year went by
Those badbchaving men.
Sent messengers across tho sea
To coax him back again.
And out they ran with princcly gifts
TO meat him at the shore,
And begged him there to live and laugh
In peace forevermore.
