LONG LIFE AND A MERRY ONE

Strenuous Americans Outive the In.
doIent Africans.
1t seems that we are all wrons
about the nurtful and life-shortening
effect of American hustle" Our ma
tional motto may be said to have been
A short life, but strenuous one"
We were willing, as a people, to have
the span shortened little if only
we could have something worth while,
something active and effective, going
all the time. But it seems, according
to the latest bulletin of the census
) bureau, that the fast life is also the
long one, says Harper's Weekly. Our
"median age'-that is, the age which
is such that half the population is
under it and half over it's more
than seven years greater than it was
century ago, and increases from dec.
ade to decade. We are surprising
easy-going foreign countries in this
respect; we are surprising even the
loose jointed, indolent, beautifully re-
Taxed, never-worrying African in our
midst; for whereas the median age of
our American whites is 23.4 years..
that of the devil-may-care colored per-
son is but 1873. Lately much confu.
sion has arisen in the minds of many
Americans over the statement made
by certain eminent neurologsts that
it is next to impossible for man to
"overwork," provided his bodily func-
tons are kept in good order by tenn
perate and wholesome living. Other
physicians, to be sure, tell us that
hurry and worry spell death. We had
accepted the latter judgment, with the
qualifying reflection that no matter
what science tells us, it always seems
to have another think coming This
census bulletin which links the long
life with the fast one appears to be-
the other think" .l 81

END OF OLD HAUNT
THIEVES MARKET" OF MEXICO
TO BE DONE AWAY WITH.
For Years the Scene Of Deeds Of Dark
crine-There Trade In Stolen. Ar.
tic'es Was the Chief Element Of
Business.

The thieves market Of the city OF
Mexico, famed in guide book and tour
list romance, is undergoing at present
an encroachment that threatens to
place it shortly in the realms of real
history" said Mayor Dudley of that
city, according to the Denver News.
The ground is being cleared over
nearly half the space formerly occu-
pied by the market and the perma-
nent booths are being torn down and
"e-erected in the smaller space left.
Tradition has it-and most happily
for romance in this fascinating land,
traditions in most cases are still as
good coin as fact-that the thieves
market stands on the ground of what
was once part of the spacious gardens
Of the new house of Montezuma.
In the long days gone by this gar
den of spacious proportions was the
scene OF many dark and dismal crimes
and many were the robberies and acts
OF violence that occurred there, for
it was on highway much used, and
when night had fallen was very dark
and dangerous.
The tale goes of the murder by 3
powerful officer of the sweetheart of
one of his retainers, crime that
ranked in the breast of the poor In
dian until. not long afterward, he took
revenge and his master lay dead,
killed in, a drunken stupor by the
wronged servant
The wronged man, rifling the mas
ter's pockets, carried away with him
from the house all the trinkets and
valuables on which he could lay his
hands. Then he hied himself to the
protecting shade of Montezuma's gar.
dens, where he hid himself under the
trees until the coming day should
waken the city and he could pass be-.
yond the guard without molestation.
But when he had been hidden only a
short while, the alarm having spread,
a servant, more jealous in his own
interests than to revenge his masters
murder, found the guilty man and
quickly and thoroughly dispatched
him.
"A neighboring gully, which had
perhaps served a similar purpose be-
fore in these thrilling days, concealed
the body, and the third murderer
made away with the goods, this time
to keep them safe and secure until the
excitement had blown over.
Then, on the very spot which he
had stained with the blood of his fell
low servant, the wretch set up a tiny
stand, with the twice stolen goods as
the basis of little stock, which he
sold to the tourists of that day as they
passed by the stand in their visits to
the famous gardens.
From this rather thrilling begin
hing grew classic Market until to-
day there is the world-famed VIOLA
DOR where things fly in and out, once
and for many long centuries
thieves market 1t is not SO many
FEARS ago that one counted this mar
!set as one of the places wherein to
look for goods that had flown away
from the house in some mysterious
fashion, but now one can say only
sadly (from the buyers point of view)
that that day is long past"

rage and disgust were strangely
blended, she cried:
NO, no-a thousand times no! II
it was for this you have followed me
across the ocean and wilderness you
can go-yes, go! will have no more

r Drawing herself up to her full
height, with all the scorn which an in
Jured soul can depict in handsome
face, she pointed toward the door of
the tent. Unable to stand before the
proud. defiant creature whom he had
in his grasp, he started toward the
door of the tent, when one of tho
strangest figures either had ever seen,
entered.
1t was man fully fifty years of age,
his. long, white hair and beard evident
ly many years strangers to either
razors, scissors. combs or brushes. In
his hand the old man carried a Win
chester rifle, the butt of which he
placed on the ground. while he leaned
on the muzZle, and fixed his curious
eyes on the man before him. So
piercing was that glance that it
seemed to penetrate the very soul of
the scoundrel.
The old man might have been taken
for Rip Van Wrinkle, but for the fact
that his arms were all of the latest
two and pausing, he leaned on his
rifle, glancing from first one and then
the other, but uttered not word.
After a moments amazed silence
Lakeland gasped:

Without paying any heed to him, the

than our hermit friend the captain,
turned his eyes upon Laura and
asked:

II was going" she answered.
"And alone?"
"a woman companion was with me,
but she remained back on the trail
twenty-five miles, and an avalanche
has filled the trail, so she cannot

There has been no avalanche" the
old man answered, in his deep voice;
