REcLUsE IS A PHILOSOPHER
Neoro Found Living In Cave Near
Santa Barbara, CAL, Tells Some
Plain Truths.

There's rich living in garbage"
says Orrin Swift, negro recluse, who
has just come into publicity through
the Judgment Of a complaint question
ing his sanity, reports dispatch from
Santa Barbara, Cal. He has for 20
years lived in a little cave on the
mountainside,. between Rincon and
Ventura.
When the officers went out to in
vestigate they found him curled up in
a. 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, lis 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 is a slave to the
whim of his employer, who may dis
charge him just like that" and the
negro snapped his finger.
IF 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 if
it were not for worry. That's the
most subtle destroyer the human fam
lily is prey to, for it leads to all other
ailments whose windup is death.
Here I am living contented. No
one can demand rent or taxes, and
I 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 a whole lot Of genuine
truth in his philosophy said the
sheriff. "Men die from worry and
what comes in it's train, and the race
will die more rapidly as it advances
in civilization, for the burden of tax
alton grows apace."

Mexican Farmer-SoIdier.

Gen. Aware Obregon, one Of the lat
est leaders to capture" and then de-
sert Mexico City, was farmer be-
fore he turned soldier. Even yet he
is said to prefer the simpler mode of
life. When the Madero uprising be-
gan Obregon, then a tiller of the soil
in Sonora, calmly looked on for a
time, and finally decided to throw in
his fortunes with the new chief. He
gathered his neighbors and raised a
force of $50 men. Seeing Madero in
the presidents chair, Obregon re-
turned to his farm. Then, as affairs
took another turn, he again entered
the field and has been leader ever
since. He is said to be only thirty
three years of age. In his early TWEEN
ties he invented an agricultural ma
chine, which was patented in the Unit
ed States and sold to an American
concern. With the money which he
received for his invention he bought
himself small farm, to which he
devoted most of his time.

been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur

Objected to Her Word.

Marie, FIVE years Of age, had been
visiting us for several weeks. On sew
eral occasions she would say rather
saucy things, and in rebuking her !
would admonish her not to get
"chesty. She usually was silent af-
ter this, but one day she asked me
what / meant. Taken by surprise i
stammered, "Why, mean, don't get

HAD LINES OF INFORMATION
RevoIutionaries Astonshed the Secret
Service of Paris Before Day
Of the Censor.

Some years before the great French
revolution a 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
it was printed, but men highest in
rank or Office we're 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
a ship in the Seine, but that it 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 effect that same night; action
was therefore postponed for a day.
The next morning the paper came out
as usual. But it contained as it's last
lines the following announcement: AS
q 80 1srr1a$
to raid our little printing Office tor
night, this paper will not be published
tomorrow"

43 YEARS OF LIFE IN JAIL
When Old Man Returned to Home
Town in Kentucky No One
Knew Him.

Owensboro, Ky--After 43 years
spent in the Arkansas penitentiary at
Little Rock, Joseph f. Jones has re-
turned here to pick up the thread Of
life that was broken when he was sent
to prison.
When a young man Jones went to
Arkansas to work on a farm. He met
and loved the daughter of the farmer
who employed him. The girl had an
other admlrer, who was the son Of a
wealthy farmer. He did not relish the
intrusion, Quarreled with Jones and
fought knife duel with him at the
gate of the girls home. When the
fight ended Jones' rival was dead.
After a hasty trial Jones was con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and sent to prison for life. After 43
years his case was laid before the
governor. A pardon was granted.
Cid man Jones walked out of the
prison. The girl for whom he had
fought had never married, but she
had long since been dead. Penniless,
Jones walked from Little Rock TO
Owensboro. No one remembered him.
He Is q stranger In his own home
town.
