Larison of Atlanta, Though Mora Than Four Score Years of Age. Abel Larison of Atlanta, is a man of more than 80 years of age, yet he is preparing to take a hunting trip through the west the coining winter.

For the last thirty-five years he has made these excursions and says he feels as young today as ever. Mr. Larison is strong and active, (ruddy of cheek and vigorous of limp and can read an ordinary newspaper without the use of spectacles. "We removed to Illinois." he said, "in the fall of 1S30, and built a cabin not far from where I now live. The following winter was that of the celebrated 'deep and ten of us occupied that one-room cabin all that winter and came out strong and healthy in the spring.

I worked with father for a number of years and then hired myself out to others. When 1 was 20 years old I was working for a blacksmith, who was also a farmer and itinerant preacher. I fell in love and wanted to get married, but money was awful scarce. There wasn't any. The Illinois bank had busted and when I asked my employer for cash he gave me all the.

blacksmithing bills he had. Probably fifty of them, and sent mo out collecting. I rode four days and collected just a half a doilar. Things looked blue, and when he came home from his Sunday preaching he said that if I would thresh out some wheat and haul it to Pekin he had heard Mr. Wilkie was paying 25 cents a bushel in cash.

Three days it took to thresh out a load and when I got back had just With that 1 got married. Hauled Goods to Eloommoton "That winter I hauled rails for 25 cents a hundred and had $7.50 in the spring. With that I commenced housekeeping. I visited Peoria when the palisades of Port Clark were still standing. I visited Mark Aiken's mill on the creek above this city.

Once I hauled a load of corn to Peoria and got 17 cents a bushel for it the highest price that had ever been known. I also hauled wheat to Chicago in 1837, 1838 and 1839 and got 50 cents a bushel. When the river was too low for boating, I 'have hauled goods from St Louis Bloomington. "But I said -1 was a hunter. Well the first deer I shot when I was 10 ears old.

I kept count until I had shot 200 and then quit counting. And do you know a deer has no gall bladder? Also, a sage hen has no craw. These are two facts I have found on close examination of hundreds of each. "For the last thirty-five years I have gone away from home on a hunting trip every winter and have shot in Michigan, Arkansas, Texas and Colorado. For the last nine year I have visited- Colorado every -winter, and have had the same guide who went with President Roosevelt.

I have shot one mountain lion, one bear and one elk. Last winter I shot two deer with one bullet, the bullet passing through a fine buck nito a doe, and it is a J50 fine to shoot a doe. 1 use a small rifle, not over seven pounds weight, shooting a soft lead bullet You don't have to raise or lower the sight to kill at 300 ards. "For years I was lieutenant of our local anti-horse thief association and afterwards captain. From 1857 to 1869 we captured a good many horsethieves and recovered a whole lot of stolen animals.

Very few ever got away from us." Mr. Larison is a man of more than ordinary intelligence, and has passed through more than the ordinary man even of hla advanced years. He wa born in Morgan county. Ohio and hla father was one of seven sons, all hunt, ers and fiddlers, while the present Mr. Larison has six sons, only two of whom have so far degenerated under the influence of civilization that they do not lovingly scrap the horse tail across tha cat's innards.

PLAN SUGGESTED BY WILLSKY.

Sewer Tile Said To Be Unfit for Use. Alderman L. C. Wlllsky wa veil pleaded last night when the council adjourned for the aldermen had determined to give a trial to a plau that he had suggested several weeks aso. He offered a resolution that the crossings on unimproved streets, be made of brick instead of plank.

The city attorney was Instructed to draw an ordinance to that effect but last night the sidewalk and crossing- committee, of which Alderman Merldith is chairman, offered it resolution that the plan be given a trial and that a sample crossing be constructed in each of the seven wards. Later In speaking in support of the resolution Alderman Merldith said that there whs evidently nothing complicated or difficult about the construction of these crossings for one could go into all of the country towns and find that they had been In use there for years. Alderman Frlbourg said that he was in favor of the plan but he believed that it would be well to have the foundation of concrete. Then when the surface course of brick was worn away the cost of repairing would be greatly reduced. Mayor Shilling said that it seemed to him that a heavy sleeper or header would be necessary to keep the brick In place.

Alderman Payne said that he had examined such crossings in Sullivan and that' so far as he could learn there was no header used. The committee resolution was adopted, the understanding being, apparently, that the work should be after specifications requiring a bed of six inches of a course of brick on their flat surface, a course of two inches of sand and then a course of brick on edge. Alderman Haerting quoted P. H. Hunt as saying that he would build crossings after such specifications and guarantee that they would stand the strain of heavy hauling.

Committee Recommendations. The sidewalk and crossing commil-tee recommended that the grades of sidewalks be raised on various streets, in accordance With resolutions Introduced at the meeting last Monday night. Also that a number of street crossings be constructed at the intersection xif Warren and Division, Union nr.tl Cerro Gordo, Church and Iivision and Hickory mid Clayton. Kick on Sewer Tile. The public Improvement committee recommended that the city engineer carefully examine the tile being used in the Chamber of Commerce addition sewer and to reject all that was not un to the standard.

The committee port suld that mere was union ue- fectlve tile there. In the report reference was made only to the15 Inch tile. Alderman Ashton said that the 18-inch tile was fully as bad and on his suggestion that was included in the recommendation. The report was approved and the mayor instructed the engineer to examine the tile at once end reject what was riot up to the standard. License Granted.

The finance committee made a favorable report on the petition of Ed J. Kly for a dram shop license at 71t East Eldorado street and the license was ordered, Pay Rolls. The pay roll for the week ended Saturday Oct. 15. amounting to $445,119 was approved and the same course was taken on the pay roll of the water in-Mector and the sewer Inspector, the two amounting to Join The Petition.

The plan is to form a commercial club composed of all of the leading real estate men of the city. Rules governing the methods of work would be made and the members- expected to follow the rules. It' is thought that such a plan would not only be of benefit to the real estate men concerned but would also be helpful to the people who have business with the dealers.

One of the real estate men in speaking of the matter said: "There is no reason why the real estate people should not have an organization the same as the grocers or other merchants do. Only those who are reliable dealers would be allowed to join and when persons wanted to transact business with a real estate man they would know that the dealer as all right if he belonged to the association. Besides we could be of great help to each other. If I happen to have a piece of property for sale I could turn it into the association and some of the members would probably have or be able to find me a buyer. In this way we could be of much help to each other.

There is nothing definite about the organization as yet and it is only being talked of, but I think it quite likely that the plan will be carried out." Another real estate man said: "There is a lot of what we call 'curb stone dealing' which the best real estate men do not regard as legitimate. There are men who wait until they learn a real estate man has a trade on hands and they then step in and try to prevent it. We want to do away with dishonorable, or to be a little more conservative, the illegitimate dealing. There is nothing to prevent a man selling a piece of property if he wants to but the business is a regular one and those who are fol lowing it ought to be banded together such a way that the regular deal ers are recognized as such. I think it would not only be of great help to the real estate men to have such an organization but it would also be better for the people and I hope that the plan is carried out.

Several real estate men who were interviewed on the subject were of the opinion that the plan vf-as a good one and said they were in favor of pushing it. inrougn. BRUSH IS STIRRED UP Says His Team Will Play Americans in The Springtime. New York, Oct. 17 President John T.
