HAD LINES OF INFORMATION
Revoiutlonaries Astonlshed the Secret
Service Of Paris Before Day
Of the Censor.

Some years before the great French
revolution printed newspaper used
to be distributed In Paris disclosing
the most secret events and doings Of
the authorities. Nobody knew who
the editor of the paper was nor where
1t was printed. but men highest In
rank or ONCE were constantly afraid.
they might read in the sheet accounts
of conversations had with members Of
their households in the private rooms
of their own houses the day before.
The police were incessant in employ
ing all their facilities for the discov-
cry OF the whereabouts Of the plant. :
After many efforts they did succeed
in unearthing the fact that the paper
was being printed by night on board
ship In the Seine, but that 1t was
not always the same ship. This dis
covery was made about eight o'clock
in the evening. In a secret and highly
guarded conference held at once the
authorities decided to raid all vessels
in the river during the night at the
same time and In this way to capture
the mysterious printers. Time was
lacking to make the necessary ar
rangements for carrying the decision
into erect that same night; action
was therefore postponed for day.
The next morning the paper came out
as usual. But 1t contained as its last
lines the following announcement: "As
the secret service resolved last night
to raid our little printing office to-
night. this paper will not be published
tomorrow"

Negro Found Living In Cave Near
Santa Barbara, CAL, TELLS Some
Plain. Truths.

There's rich living In garbage"
Gays Orrin Swift. negro recluse. who
has just come into publicity through
the lodgment Of q complaint question
ing his sanity, reports . dispatch from
Santa Barbara. Cal. He has for 20
yeafs lived in . little cave on the
mountainside. between Rincon and
Ventura.
When the ofIicers went out to In
vestigate they found him curled up in
corner Of the cave sleeping the
morning away. The place was lit
tered with tin. cans. When aroused
swift greeted his visitors cordially and
explained to them his mode Of life
and the reason therefor.
Civilization" he said, 'is only an
other evidence Of how slavery can be
lifted up and made possibly more re-
fined outwardly. The man who works
for his living Is nothing more or less
than slave. He IL slave to the
whim of his employer, who may dis
charge him Just like that" and the
negro snapped his finger.
III man has an income today he
may not have one tomorrow. The
consequence is that both the man who
tolls for an employer and the man who
draws his income are slaves to worry.
neither OF them knowing the peace
and happiness that comes with the
quiet life. Men would live forever II
1t were not for worry. That's the
most subtle destroyer the human fam
lily is prey to. for 1t leads to all other
ailments whose windup is death.
Here l am living contented. No
one can demand rent or taxes, and
/ find my living in the garbage on the
town dump. many fine morsels being
left In cans and otherwise thrown
away. There's rich living in garbage"
The mans talk was rational. though
strange, and his conduct was quiet.
Therefore, the officers left him to his
lonely life.
There is q whole lot Of genuine
truth in his philosophy" said the
sheriff. Men die from worry and
what comes in its train, and the race
will die more rapidly as 1t advances
in civilization. for the burden Of tax
alton grows apace."

The Festive Farmer.

Farm life is an ideal life" :"
says Zim, in Cartoons magazine,
especially in the story books
and upon the theater stage. The
farmer is his own boss and mon
arch of all the acres that are
not plastered with mortgages.
he arises with the little birds,
eits up the hard cider in the eel
hr. then hies him thither to toy
with the cattle, for milking at A
.. m. is one of the joys of farm
nfe. From the milking stool he
wends his way to the woodpile
and gleefully chops up a cord or
two before the breakfast call.
When the morning meal is over
his real life begins. Blended
with the buzz Of rusty machin-
cry, song and profanity. the re-
maining eighteen hours are
vhiled away. When the farm
becomes so impoverished that it
will raise nothing but chin whis-
kerE he lets the mortgage hold
