Smukrd Cigarettes, Holnlcd All [he Luvs of luau-inc. and in len to lie Probably the Oldest Sign In (be “’0th The oldest living person in the Uni- ted States is a half-breed Indian, )Iigv uel Vi-jir, who lives in the valley of the Sm Jarinto, 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, aged one. hundred and twenty-seven years. Miguel Vejar was born in Northern Mexico at about 1766. His wonderful age is verified by the records that were carefully kept until 1831 by the priests in the Franciscan Missions of Southern California. In 1831 they were transferred to the Cathâ€" edral of San Luis ltey, in the City of 3113x100. Among the San Diego recâ€" ords of the Indians is the statement. dated August 9, 1788, that “ilIiguel chzir. a Mexican Indian. rather intel- ligent, of good habits and very indus- trious, aged tWenLy-two.” was a. vaquero of the mission herds. In March, 1791, there is an entry of the birth of a female child to Miguel Vejar, aged twenty-five, and his wife Lugardo. aged twenty-four. The records of the San Gabriel Mis- sion, now in the cathedral in the City of Mexico, show that Miguel Vejar. "son of MEXICAN AND INDIAN parentage and aged thirty-three years," was baptized in the mission by Father Romero, Easter Sunday, March. 1799. The, Lite Don Pico, who was the last Suiiiish Governor in California, said a. few years ago that he remembered Miguel Vejar in 18-14, and that the man was then upward of eighty years of age. Many people remember when Miguel pissed his one hundredth birth- day. When President Harrison was in California. in 1891 old Miguel 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_brok- on English and told a few facts in the story of his life. Since then his mem- ory of English words has completely failed, and when he now speaks at all it is in a mixture of Spanish and Co- hilla Indian dialect. . _ Miguel char has been married tWice. His first Wife was killed in an earth- quake in 1806. He married a .youn squaw a year later. She died in 187 . 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 halfâ€"breed In- dian tribes in Southern California and. Mexico, but he . KNO\VS NONE OF THEM and has no recollection even of their names. There can be no doubt he has over one hundred great-grandchildren, whom he never knew, and a large number of great- routâ€"grandchildren.

Crofer, late principal of the Alberton, P.E.I., high school, has passed'throughan experience that will prove interesting to thousands of oth- 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. Crofcr. "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. I 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 out-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, for I wished to have the school in as prosperous 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 prepared for entering on a. college course when my teaching days would be over. The people at the hotel Where I boarded used to warn me against over-taxing my strength, but I disregarded their kind advice. To- wards thc end of my second year. how- ever. I began to feel the effects of my 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 eyeSi lit to excessive night read- ing. and. orbade me to read any more by lampiigh't. But the weakness of my eyes was not all. Insomnia attacked me and I was unable to sleep pt night and used to toss about on my bed 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 lxacame so thin . and emaciated that my friends thought I was doomed to death. At the. end. of the school year I had become so weak that I resigned my posiliomand 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 I» began using Dr. \Yil- I reumined on my brother's farm for a. whole year, durâ€" ing which time I used the Pink Pills, towards the end. however, only taking them at intervals. I had not been tak- ing the Pink Pills long before I 'be- gan to experience benefit from their use. and from the (by I first felt ben- efit I steadily progressed towards re- covery. I was able to take. sound, re- freshing sleep, my appetite became excellent and my weight increased w much that friends whom I had not soon for some time scarcely recogniz- ed me at first sight. I am completely restored physically. and I can take heavy lifts or engage in any kind of hard work without feeling the least weariness, and this improved condition of affairs I owe to the excellence of Dr. “'illiams' Pink Pills. My eyesight is also gradually returning and I hope are long to be able to discard my glass- es. My story, which I fear has. been somewhat tedious, shows how many young men and many young women al- 90 have their health shattered by stick- ing closely to the teaching profession. However there is an effective remedy Within the reach of all. This remedy which I have such pleasure in recom- mending is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

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.

I cannot find words to express my grail» tudo for the services Kootenny Cure has done me. I had bzen treated by the best physicians in Ottawa for Rheumatism, but they told me that my case was so compil- cated. my trouble having originated from Ln. Grippe, that any relief they could give would only be temporary. Just at this time I heard of Kootcnay Core. 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, Yours gratefully, MM. 'l‘nomu A. I’rmz, . .
