tensive campaign was organized
against him and he was obliged to fee
to quite a distant region.
While he was away his home was
raided and a sum Of money and his
wife were taken and sent to Smyrna
as hostages. This brought Tchakird-
sky back at once, but instead of at
tasking soldiers, who had made the
raid he went at night-or some Of his
men did-to the house Of the mayor

knowledge the woman and money
had been taken and stealing the may

notice to the mayor that unless his

home were returned in three days.
the boy would be killed. The mayor
hastened to Smyrna and lost no time
in returning the woman and the mon
ey to her home.
High officials in the vilayet of
Smyrna have been appointed with sole
reference to the capture of this man
and been dismissed because Of failure.
And although each year Of late has
seen a larger and larger number Of
soldiers sent into the mountains to Sc
cure this brigand, the authorities
have evidently come to the conclusion
that the best and only way to stop the
depredations of Tchakirdsky and his
band was to enter them upon the
government pay roll with a sufficient
salary to induce them to abide in
peace.

pears to be increasing.
Certain New Yorkers again are
stirred with the laudable ambition to
live to be hundred years old, and
more IL possible. These New Yorkers,
who are under the leadership Of a
physician, have mapped out courses
to follow which they believe will re-
suit in long life. Strangely enough
each one has different ideas. While
one will eat no meat another eats
nothing else.
One believes in gorging on fruit,
while another declares II Is "poison"
to him. One woman member of the
Hundred Year Club drinks many tum-
blers Of water during meals and be-
tween, while her husband never drinks
clear water. And so 1t goes.
No one has ever been able to give
reasons for remarkably long lives. DR..
William George Meade. a celebrated
physician in his day, died at his home
in Turnbridge Wells, England. in
1852, at the age Of 148 years and two
months. His birth and death are mat
ters of record, so there is no mistake
about his age.
This extraordinary man was asked
scores Of times how he prolonged his
life to such length and he was never
able to tell, but-RRsWeFed vaguely that
1t probably was because he never wor-
ried DR.. Meade smoked a pipe,
which will crafty tobacco users, and
practiced as a physician after he was
14O years old. Meade's methods were
simple and are followed by many doc
tors at this day. He believed in diet,
open air exercise, and cleanliness.
In his day few Britons bothered
themselves about taking baths. A fat,
lazy squire would gorge himself with
meat and drink and go unbathed for
many months. He would swell up un-
til he had almost reached the burst
ing point, then with red and bloated
face and body and short breath he
would have himself taken to DR..
Meade at Turnbridge Wells. Meade
made him take a bath night and
morning. He was forced to go to bed
at sunset and arise with the lark,
spend all his time walking over the
hills or resting under an awning.
The patient was allowed two meals
a day, at 8 o'clock in the morning and
in the afternoon. No liquor was al

smoke a certain brand Of tobacco

TENDERFooT's REVENGE.
Bully of New Mexico Town Had the
Tables Turned on Him.

aDIeS urneo on TIiTn.
The average tenderfoot Is not a cow
ard He simply lacks ranch experience.
An illustration Of this fact occurred
down in New Mexico several years ago.
One day pale looking, thin and sickly
young man alighted from the train and
put up at the little adobe hotel at Ber-
nal Springs. The tenderfoot walked
up to the bar and called for bottle
of soda pop. "'Tain't allowed to drink
that sort O. stuff out here" said a
toughy What you want Is stiff
drink O. red liquor. Mr. Barkeeper, set
out the pison for this young fellow"
You have the best Of me-" replied the
tenderfoot, and I'll have to drink the
stuff, but 1 hope the time may come
when 1 can make you drink my choice
Of liquid"
The tcnc,:foot raised the glass and
gulped down the whisky. Sandy had
his way about a., and he made no
effort 70 comprehend the vague remark
of the stranger. The tenderfoot left
for a ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the incident in the saloon,
and he was forgotten until one after
noon more than year afterward
strong, healthy looking young man
rode up to the hotel on broncho,
dropped the bride reins upon the
ground and dismounted. He had the
appearance of a typical young man or
the range. His face was bronzed and
his eyes clear and penetrating. Il owe
fellow a debt which I believe l VIII
pay right now" the stranger said.
No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked off in the direction OF
Sandy, who had his gun In his right
hand and was firing it into the air
every few steps. The stranger ap-
preached Sandy, pulled his gun and
unceremoniously dragged the bully up
to the saloon and led him In that fash
ion up to the bar. Get me a pan OF
water and set it upon the floor" he
said to the barkeeper.
The order was compiled with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering what
was going to happen to him. Now,
get down on the floor and drink water
out of that pan like a dog" the former
tenderfoot ordered. Sandy at first re-
fused but when the stranger began
| twirling his gun around OIL his 1orefn-
ger and said the order must be obeyed
| the cowed fellow unlimbered and lay
down upon the floor and began drink
ing water out Of the pan.-Denver Field

that couldn't climb on one side, and
shut in by semicircle Of drift.
Il lay on my breast and tried to
wriggle my way to the top. I could
only make little headway by packing
and tramping the snow, building kind
Of leaning tower Of hard snow as
mounted by half-inches.
But thought I, will get to the
top some time Yet in a minute I
heard a rush of waves below, and look
ed down to see my notch filling with a
whirlpool Of water The creek had
broken through that neck Of drift and
was hurting its food against the one I
was climbing.
II stood, too scared to move, for a
minute; then / had q sensation as if
the world was moving, dropping out
from under me. The drift I was
mounting-it must have been a narrow
one-melted like the going Of soap
bubble, and I was plunging along,
fighting to keep at the top Of a rolling
food.
There was just one immense fum-
Ing swish Of water poured out into and
over the lately emptied creek channel,
and I found myself swimming in the
cold current-swimming for the land.
I'm glad that I am like a duck in
the water. I was rolled under in the
rough and tumble a half-dozen times,
but came up spluttering, and forged
ahead till my feet hit ground, and then
I scrambled for the nearest high land.

Don't try to unnerve me!" he i'm

you"
And he leaped over the boats side
into the sea.
The last remnant of courage forsook
her then.
Help, Murder! Help" she shrieked,
distractedly, as she saw Hume disap-
pearing in the direction of the lost
oars.
He had thought to find them easily
enough. They could not have drifted
more than the distance Of boats
length. But in vain he groped, swim
ming about, now this way, now that,
blinded by the vapor, and chilled to
the marrow by the intensely cold wa
ter He discovered nothing. The truth
broke upon him with stunning force
the oars were gone!
Meanwhile Roses cries began to
grow muffled and faint; they seemed
to recede-or, were his own ears fail
ing?
A new fear tugged at his heart. He
could not leave Rose longer alone in
her terrible plight. He must return to
the boat, and share her fate. He gath
cred his strength, and struck out for
it.
"Rose!" he shouted. where are
you, Rose?"
The fog had closed betwixt them like
a wall. The boat was lost, as we'll as
the oars.
"Rose!" he cried again, as the full
horror of the situation burst upon him.
Speak, for Gods sake"
Hideous silence reigned for space;
then, distant, almost indistinct through
the muffling vapor, the reply came:
Help! I am sinking!-I am dying!
Murder! Help!-help!"
Vain cry! Rose was already far be-
yond his reach, at the mercy of a
strong ebb tide, which must inevitably
bear her straight out into the black
Atlantic. What help could he give her
then? Leagues from land, lost in mist
and falling night, hope gone, strength
failing, Hume could only strive to keep
ahoat little longer in that icy water
to retain a little longer the breath In
his nostrils, while poor Rose and the
doomed boat-the plaything Of the ter
rible tide-drifted rapidly out to sea.

The outcome of the county conven-
ton when it went on record for the
primary election, is viewed with sat
isfaction by great many. The Times
feels that the action of the convention
was only an acquiescence in the wish
of the voters of the party and the only
way out of a uncomfortable predica-
nent. The mon who attempted to
overthrow the primary vote in the con-
vention were actuated only by the
highest motives and really believed
that their action was for the best in
terests Of the party. Those men were
representative citizens and no man
could assail their integrity and honest
intentions in trying to mend the weak
places in the ticket, yet the Times be-
lieves that after going before the Re-
publican voters and pledging the party
to abide by the primary, there was
only one honorable thing to do and
that to make the result of the primary
the rule of the convention. The Times
does not believe that any voter is
bound to violate his own good judg-
ment when it comes to cast the bal
lot in November and any undesirable
candidate can be quietly disposed of at
the polls without ieopardizing the
whole ticket On the other hand had
the convention told the people that the
primary was just bait and not in
tended to be binding, the people would
have come back at the polls and slash
ed the whole ticket along with the
men who seemed undesirable.
