Auburndale, Colonel? Fellow that founded it was named Dale. But I don't quite understand. Simple enouglh. Dale was red-headed. Physiologists will have to study old Miguel Vejar closely to find the secret of his extraordinary long life. He has suffered hardships among the moun- tains and on the burning deserts, like other strong men who died years and years ago. He drank many a gallon of fire-water in his day and. along with other redâ€"skinned young bucks, painted the tribal pueblo a deep car- mine many nights. He was a smoker of cigarettes (not the white man's kind) for about a. century, or until he got too old to roll them himself and to rustle for his favorite variety of the weed. He has violated all the canons of hygiene from his earliest days, for it is doubtful if he has ever had a genâ€" uine bath, and he has not washed his person for a generation or more. and has no recollection even of their names. There can be no doubt he has over one hundred greatâ€"grandchildren, whom he never knew. and a large nugber pf .greatjgre‘at-grandchilflren:‘ age. Many people remember when Miguel pissed his one hundredth birth- day. \Vlhen President Harrison was in California in 1891 old LIig‘uel was brought from his miserable old house in San Jacinto Valley and presented to Gen. Harrison as the oldest man in the United States. At that time the old fellow was able to speak a little brokâ€" en English and told a. few facts in the story of his life. Since then his memâ€" ory of English words has completely failed, and wfnien he now speaks at all it is in a mixture of Spanish and Co- hilla, Indian dialect. Miguel Vejar has been married twice. His first Wife was killed in an earth- quake in 1806. He married a, young Squaw a year later. She died in 1876. He has been the father of thirteen children. none of whom now lives. His last child died. aged ninety. in San Juan. He has a. dozen more grandchild- ren scattered among the half-breed In- dian tribes. in Southern California and Mexico, but he 9W M‘sww I parentage and aged thirty-three years." was baptized in the mission by Father Romero, Easter Sunday, Mamhl, 1799.

In 1831 they were transferred to the Cath- edral of San Luis Rey, in the City of Mexico.

The oldest living person in the Uni- Ied States is a half-breed Indian, Mig- uel Vejar, who lives in the valley of the San Jacinto, in Riverside County, Southern California. He is one hundred and thirty years old. In 1891 Chief Urbaza died on the tribal reservation near San Diego, wged one hundred and twentyâ€"seven years. Miguel Vejar was born in Northern Mexico at about 1766.

P.E.l., high school, has passed through an experience Lhatwul prove interesting to thousands of othâ€" ers engaged in the teaching profession throughout the country, more especial- ly those whose health has been impair ed by overwork in crowded and often badly ventilated schools. “Three years ago." says Mr. Crofer, "I assumed charge of the high school at Alber- ton, and found the pupils in my de- partment in a rather backward condi- tion. as their former teacher had to resign on account of ill :health. When I began work, however, 1 was in ex- cellent health, and although I was never very fleshy, I was quite muscu- lar and athletic. I was a great lover of outâ€"door exercise and sports, and was an enthusiast over the game of foot- ball. Anyone who has ever beheld a genuine game of ” old Rugby" will know that it is not at all a game for weaklings. I merely state these facts to show that at the time I took charge of the high school I was capable of un- dergoing almost any amount of hard labor. During the two years of my ser- vice I labored very hard in bringing my pupils to a high state of proficiency. lfor I wished to have the school in as lprosperous condition as possible under my management. Besides the close {confinement in the school room dur- ing the day. I generally studied until 'twelve at night, in order to be well lprepared for entering on a college course when my teaching days would lbe over. The people at the hotel where I boarded used to warn me against overâ€"taxing my strength. but I disregarded their kind advice. To- wards t‘be end of my second year, how- ever. I began to feel the effects of any double work I had imposed upon my- self. My eyesight began to fail rap- idly, and it was not long until I had to consult an eminent oculist. who or- dered for me a, pair of specially ground glasses. He attributed the failure of my eyesight to excessive night read- ing, and forbade me to read any more I Mr. Thos. Crofer. lane principal of by lampiigh't. But the weakness of my eyes was not all. lnsomnia attacked me and I was unable to sleep at night and used to toss about on my until morning without getting the slightest degree of rest. When I rose in the morning it may be readily imagined I was in no fit con- dition to begin my daily work. My appetite was so poor that often I was unable to partake of any breakfast, and this of course rendered my condi- tion all the worse. I became so thin and emaciated that my friends thought I was doomed to death. At the end of the school year 1 had become so weak that I resigned my position,and at that time it did look as if my days on earth were numbered. 1 went to the country to give myself some chance to recruit, and at the urgent advice of a friend Ii began using Dr. Wil- liams’ Piink Pills J. remained on my brother's farm for a whobe year, dur- ing which time I used the link PillsI towards the end.

My eyesight is also gradually returning and I hope ere long to be able to discard my glaSs- es.

Many celebrated doctors had treated the patient. and one after another had abandoned the case in despair.

Lying helpless upon a. bed of sickness, his case seemed to be really incurable. Indeed, those who looked upon him in that state believed him to be at the end of his life, and it was with difficulty that they could believe their eyes yesterday when they saw him walking around to our office.

Principal- My wife, Mrs. Thomas Bird. suflered for a long time with kidney trouble, which finally became so aggravated and painful that she was compelled to enter the hosâ€" pital. Her case was pronounced by the physicians who examined her to be Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, and after a long course of treatment she was discharged from the hospital an incurable and informed that she had only a few years to live. While making arrangements for sending her to England I was persuaded to give her your medicine, Kootenay Cure. After taking the medicine for a time. she began to improve and has since continued to do so. At the present writing both she and I are satisfied that she is cured. and that Kootenay has been the means of saving her life. She now has a good appetite, sleeps well, has a good color and her kidneys are working with regularity. No one who knew her ter- rible condition last winter could realize today that she is the same person. such a. remarkable change has taken place. Wishâ€" ing you continued success with your won~ derful medicine, I remain, I cannot find words to express my gratio tude for the services Kootenay Cure has done me. I had been treated by the belt physicians in Ottawa for Rheumatism, but they told me that my case was so compli- cated, my trouble having originated from La Grippe, that any relief they could give would only be temporary. Just at this time I heard of Kootenay Cure. I had very little hope of relief at first. the Rheu- matism having settled in my muscles and almost destroyed my nerves. However. I determined to try once more and began to take the medicine, and in my case, physi- cally speaking. old things have passed away and all things have become new. I can go anywhere, unaided. My nerves are as strong as ever they were in my life and no change in the atmosphere has any effect on me now. I cannot thank you enough, but write this so that some other sufferer may read it and seek relief. You can refer any person to me at my residence, 199 Albert Street, Ottawa, and I shall be only too happy to give them any information in my power.
