REMARKABLE ARCHERY,
Skilled Arehers Could Kill a Man al
500 Yards.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re.
markable as this archery was, it did
not equal that reached by the. archers
of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the McRaes of Gairlock, Scotland,
We're such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance of
500 yards. In 1874 the Turkish ambas-
sador at London shot an arrow in a
field near that capital AIS yards
against the wind.
The secretary of the ambassador,
on hearing the expressions of surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan he'd shot 500 yards.
This was the greatest performance OF
modern days, but pillar standing on
a plain near Constantinople recorded
shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir
Robert Ainslie, British ambassador TO
the sublime ports, records that in 1893
he was present when the sultan shot
an arrow 972 yards.

MAN LOST SEEKING NINE
Prospector Insane from Suffering
Thought Desert Sand Was Water

Prawley, Cal.-Losing himself in
search for the lost Peg Leg" mine.
Henry Zimmerman, So, of Alhambra,
was found in the desert west of the
Salton Sea, crazed from thirst and
stumbling over the sands under the
delusion that he was wading in water.
He was found by Tom Marshall of
Brawley.
Marshall was on his way to Harper's
Well for water and when eight miles
this side came upon Zimmerman. The
prospector was wild and delirious. He
had removed his shoes and carried
them in his hands. His trousers wero
rolled to his knees. His mouth was
open and sand stuck to the thick lips
where he had scooped handfuls think
ing it water. Marshall gave him sip
af liquid from his canteen and took
him to camp.
There Zimmerman was cared for
and he had so far revived that his
speech became rational. He talked but
a short time when he lapsed again into
unconsciousness. He said he and his
partner were looking for gold, for the
Peg Leg" mine.
The story of the mine is that years
ago stump legged miner descended
upon Los Angeles periodically ana
each time with a new supply OF
wealth. He jealousy guarded the So.
cret of his store and eluded those who
sought to trace him.
In a brawl in dance hall of tho:e
days he was killed and ever since eff
forts have been made to find the lost
mine, The common supposition is thar
il was in the superstition Mountains
west of the valley.
Zimmerman says he became sepa
rated from his partner, lost his bear
ings, and finally draak the last drop
from his canteen. The partner re-
turned to lockwood n station north OF
here, ard reported Zimmerman miss.

chor she was at once surrounded by
large fleet of boats; officers were
put on board and all communication
with the shore, as far as the for.
eigners were concerned, was prohib-
tied. The ships officers and crew
were treated with great kindness by
the Japanese. The ship was refitted,
free Of all charge, with everything
necessary for a continuance Of her
voyage and then, after few days
stay, was towed far out of the harbor
to the open sea by several long lines
Of boats. The ship was not allowed
to wait IN port for a wind to blow her
out of the harbor' to the open sea.
Capt. Cooper was then told, should he
find any more wrecked Japanese sail
,ors, to take them anywhere else than
to Japan.
Among the articles taken from the
junk, which at the time had been
concealed in the ships hold, was a
good chart of Japan. The chart was
taken on to Washington by Capt.
Cooper and possibly may have sug-
gested the governments sending
Commodore Perry to what was then
an almost unknown country.

men have branded the shark story as
a myth, made up by authors of adven-

They say there is no such thing as a
man eating shark.
There is "Dudie" Miller for instance.
Every one in the South Pacific knows
"Dudie" Miller of Honolulu.
Recently he dangled naked In the
tide, hanging in a life preserver in 100
fathoms of water, spearing fish. A ii
foot shark began circling him, attract

sack strapped to his waist.

said Miller, summoning two canoemen.
They watched the man eater sweep
around the fisherman poised in his
life belt.
"Dudie' merely laughed. The canoe
men lifted him from the water and de-
posted him again 100 yards away. And
there the fisherman and the shark
hobnobbled all afternoon.

here at midnight and the water rose
two inches an hour and reached over
the docks and commenced to flow into
downtown streets before noon.
The village Of Carrollton and Zil-

"DocToR SAM" LIVES ALL
ALONE ON FARM; HAPPYI
His Little Home Contains Many Artl.
cles that Hark Back to Days of
the STAGE Coach.

lHc otd9e SodCH.
Windsor, Vt.-The day of the al.
chemist on the back streets of the
cities are probably gole, but the un-
usual continues to keep abreast Of
its record in the country districts.
Living alone on the farm where he
was born 60 years ago at least, in
Hartland, VT, is DR.. Samuel Eugene
Stevens, known generally as DR.. Sam,
who works in a little printing office
where he writes his books and sets
them into type.
The doctor never served an appren-
ticeship to the printers trade but he
is very careful compositor and bet
ter than the average man on the job
press, so that the work turned out
by him would pass as that of finish
ed craftsman. The doctor says he en-
Joys this pastime the best of anything
that he has attemptedssince he retired
from the practice of medicine about
ten years ago.
The little farmhouse where he lives
alone in the summer has many arti-
cles that bark back to the days of the
stage coach. The old melodeon which
has been in the family for many years
occupies prominent place in the
household furniture. Yet there Is a
modern piano there upon which the
aged doctor printer plays to while
away the loneliness.
The once well titled farm of his an
tecedents no longer shows the touch
of the plow. 1t is all meadow land now
but looks ell the more in harmony
with the spirit of leaving nature alone
that seems to pervade the surround
ings of this cloistered spot. DR.. Stew
ems has had varied experience as all
have had who at the close of busy
life seek such removed places and
rass the evening of their life in con
temptation.
1t is the metaphysical that interests
this retired Gc"to" now. He c0rD,eed
Il book in the year 1898 called the
''Philosonhy of the Great Unconscious"
The title would rlisload the average
person, but the text shows that the
writer has an intimate knowledge with
the works of Darwin, Huxley and 9th
er scientists. The title of the book that
the doctor is now writing is caller
1.-The Economy of Misery"
DR.. Stevens is graduate OF the
University of Pennsylvania in the
class of 1871, practiced in Vermont
and in Iowa, and is still registered
pharmacist. The doctor says medi-
cine is a more or less uncertain
science. He advises people to avoid
doctors because, as he puts it, it is 4
great thing to be able to die n natural
death.
The old home farm where this man
lives has been christened as Spring
Lodge.' Perhaps it gets its name frori
the spring water that is a short way
from the house. The water in this
spring is cold all the year round. It
was on hot day that the correspond
ent visited the place, and the taste Of
spring water at that time was good
one to test its virtue.
DR.. Stevens never married to which
fact he attributes his ability as a
housekeeper and cook. He can cook
skilfully and his house betrays no sign
of masculine negligent" He is happy
in the unique work he is doing, and,
he observes where a person has found
happiness, what more can he ask?
