LIVED NEARLY
A CENTURY
PATRIARCH WHO LIVED SIMPLE
LIFE FOUND IT SWEET TO THE
END AND GAVE UP WITH A
SMILE

SPANGLE, Wash, Jan. Chris
Schaeffer, better known as "Old
Man" Schaeffer, died at the county
hospital, Spangle. Wash, December
20, 1907, at $3.50 a. M, aged 81
years, 10 months and five days.
Schaeffer was born in Baden, Ger
many, February "a, 1910, In what
is known as the Black Timber coun-
try. In early life he went over into
France, where he herded sheep. He
landed in New York somewhere
about the year 1870. He herded
sheep near Auraora, ILL.,, for several
years. He was admitted to the
county hospital by the county COM
miss'oners September 2, 1899, and
never left here up to the day of his
death. While confined to his bed
most of the time. he, when summer
came, would call for his crutches
and dress up" decorating himself
with an old tie of brilliant hue, and
sticking couple OF feathers in his
hat, would put himself on parade,
full of fun and good cheer, walking
from room to room or out on the
porches, occasionally singing in a
pathetic tune old-time, forgotten
songs of the fatherland.
His only desires in the way of
amusement were a pack of cards,
with which he would play solitaire,
and his baby" which consisted OF
a bottle of blackberry wine.
Age or conditions never soured
his nature, for he had pleasant
smile and greeting for all. Within
the last six months he has failed
rapidly. though 1t was his ambition
to see his one-hundredth birthday;
vet when the grim reaper knocked
lightly on the door of his soul, he
opened unto him without fear or
trembling, and with smile of peace
uuon HIS aged face, passed the dark
river unto the brighter shore
His body was inferred here Tues
day at 10 a. m.

ever, to have been in much less de-
gree than in the United States, and
was free of the corruptive influences
which precipitated the panic here,
besides being much less severe than
at one time feared.
Great Britain closes the year un-
der fairly good conditions. Reac-
tionary tendencies are also to be
observed in that country, but the
Kaffir excitement has subsidized and
no important dangers are yet in
sight. France goes on its way COM
paratively un1njured by financial
disturbances elsewhere; and Paris
for some time past has been the
strongest financial center on the
globe. In other countries the COM
merc'al tendencies are somewhat re-
dictionary, as must be expected after
such long period of worldwide
expansion.

though probably disturbing at times

more toward restoring American

Recovery in Six Months

In closing it seems to me entirely
reasonable to indulge in more hope
full views. Possibly we may have to
face six months, or even a year, of
more or less business depression.
The dangerous tendencies of a year
ago have been thoroughly arrested,
and the tendencies now at work are
those of corrective nature, which
is distinctly encouraging. The dis
ease has been correctly diagnosed,
and it is now only question of APP
PLYING the proper remedy-contrac-
tion-and the patient, having a Wig
orous constitution and courageous
temperament, VIII soon recover.
This is presidential year, and
unless all signs fail, the campaign
is likely to be comparatively quiet
affair. The issues of the day are
clearly defined, being largely of Mr..
Roosevelt's creation, and the fight
promises to be concerning men more
than principles. 1t would be a sur
prise If the republican party lost its
present control, and it is not unde-
serving of notice that Mr. Bryan is
not quite as much feared since he
dropped the free silver and govern
ment ownership.
Causes for Financial Distrust
A final word as to d,strust and its
causes. The distrust which has been
so grave an element in the panic
was produced. by two sets of infiu-
ences The first was strictly eco
nomic and was appreciated only by
the business community: the second
was moral and had far-reaehing
effect on public opinion. 1t is a
wholesome and encouraging sign
that the American public will not
tolerate the scandalous exposures
which began with life insurance in
vestigations, extended into corpo-
rate management generally and
ended with probing our street rail-
ways.
Mr. Roosevelt very pronerly chief
" concerned himself with the latter
causes OF distruct For this he has
been quite as unjustly criticised as
would the surgeon for cutting out
cancer from his sick patient. While
the causes of the panic were chiefly
economic. corruptive influences
were largely responsible for hasten
