Never Misses a Day, and Says
That Teaching Keeps Him
Hale and Hearty.

WAILUKU, August 1S.-An oeto
genarian schoolteacher, still IN the har
ness, would be hard to find, even IN the
most healthy portions OF the world
Maui possesses such a one IN the per
son of w. c. Crook, principal OF Pala
School. who resides at Makawao and
whose age is eighty-two.
| Rain or shine, in winter or summer
| this wonderful old gentleman drives
over five miles to his school, never miss

in physique and intellect as the aver
I,age man fifty years his junior.
Mr.. Crook has been thirty years in
Hawaii and for the last twenty years
has been teaching school steadily. He
has nine children living, five boys and
four girls.
Speaking to an acquaintance who
found him in his delightful old fash
toned garden the other day, among his
favorite cypress and camphor trees, Mr..
Crook stated that he attributed his re
marka BILE mental and physical activity
to the fact that he had always taken
regular physical and mental exercise.
81 owe a great deal Of my present
physical and mental well-being to the
fact that l have always been poor and
unable to indulge in those luxuries
which tend to enfeeble the body and

not agree with him. The same state
ment he made with regard to the use
of tobacco, though he was a smoker fol-
twenty years.

Attempted Suicide.

Trenton, Tenn, Jan. 10.-Last Sat
urday night Joe Bruce, well known
farmer who lives near Dyer, attempted
to end his life by cutting his throat with
a pocket knife, but luckily escaped sew
ering the jugular vein. When found in
the horse lot he was half buried in
snow, and physicians, who We're sum
moncd, think he will die from exposure.
Mr. Bruce had been sick for several
weeks Of fever and was no doubt deliri-
GUS when he committed the deed. His
wife was sitting up with him, and he
asked for his knife. She left the room
to attend to household affairs and when
she came back she found the bed cloth
ing bloody and her husband gone.
Mr. Bruce says that some one dragged
him to the lot and attempted to murder
him, but this is not credited. He is a
man Of family and an estimable citizen.
