OLD HERMIT OF DELAWARE

Arnold Hudson lives about three
miles from Selbyyille, Del, in the old
cypress swamp. For nearly fifty years
he has lived in solitude in the midst
of this great swamp. His cabin is
built of logs hewed by himself half a
century ago. The cabin was built on
a tWo-acre cleared lot, which lot is
surrounded by the density Of the
swamp. Around this plantation he
dug ditch very deep, with other
bitches running all over his lot emp.
tying into it.
He has always been destitute OF
an animal and has had to break up
what land he titled with a hoe. His
only means Of protection is long
rife, which when he has no shot he
loads with old iron or anything hard.
His only means of Sustaining life are
the berries of the swamp and what
little amount of vegetables he raises
on his lot.

MEN WHO NEVER UNvElL

There is wandering tribe of the
Sahara called the Touaregs, a strange
people, supposed by some to have des-
cended from the Crusaders, and dis
tinguished by the wearing of wells. a
custom that has occasioned much dis
eussion.
The Touaregs guard their eyes
against the glare of the desert by two
wells, one rolled round the temple and
falling down In front of the eyes, the
other reaching from the nostrils to the
edge of the clothing, covering the low
er part of the face
All manner of learned arguments
have been adduced to explain this Gus
tom, but hygiene is obviously the only
motive. This is shown by the state
ments of the Touaregs themselves, and
by the sobriquet. mouths for flies, "
which they apply to all who do not
wear the wells.
1t is said that the Touaregs never
remove their wells, even at meal times,
Indeed, they are SO much a part Of
their wearers that any one deprived Of
such covering is unrecognized by his
friends and relatives.

MEYERS TESTIFIED
AGAINST SEN. CLARK

Washington, April 3.-Old-time SEN
ators are recalling the initial appear
ance in Washington of Montana S new
senator, Henry l.. Meyers, who will
take his seat when the siXty-second
congress convenes tomorrow. 1t was
back in so that Meyers first came to
the national capital to testify as a wit
ness in the case against Senator Viii
liam A. Clark, the copper king, who
was alleged to have bought his toga
from corrupt Montana legislators.
Meyers told the senate investigat-
ing committee how he and two other
Montana assemblymen accepted &c.,
900 each on the promise to vote for
Clark. Immediately afterward Mey-
ers appeared on the floor of the Mon
tana house, waving aloft thirty thous-
and bills, and deposited the money on
the speakers desk, and in a dramatic
speech charged Clark with corruption
and bribery The Clark people set
up the claim that the money came
from the Marcus DAILY crowd and that
the performance was put-up job.
Certain it is that the money was never
claimed and it was added to the pub
lie school fund of Montana.
