JACKSON HOUSE AN OLDTIMER
Bulit Nearly 260 Years Age in Porte
mouth, N. H,
«Portsmouth, N. H—Some of the
“old-timers” in the way of houses in
New England are fu curious contrast
to the houses of today. This is true
in particular of the old farmhouses,
with their sloping roofs reaching al
most _to the ground and their great
central chimneys so large at the base
that in some of the old houses there
| are fireplaces seven feel across and
| five feet In depth
The old Jackson house here is one
| of the most interesting of these an
| cent houses. This house was bulit
in the year 1664, and is therefore al
| most 250 years old Its sloping roof
| ia ome of its distinguishing features
Richard Jackson owned 26 acres of
ground when he bullt the houses In
THE JACKSON HOUEBE.
and
t of the In
habitants of that day. he old house
has been the home of six generations
He was ar industrious
session of the Jackson family. The
| house fronts on the river, and It is
be the oldest house in
Portsmouth. The frame of the house
is of ocak and the timbers for the sills
project into the lower rooms
Longfellow once wrote
“All houses wherein men have lived
and dled
Are haunted houses”
This old house is haunted only by
the associations of the long, long
years since It was bulit The imag:
faation Is sure to be pretty active
when one stands under these ancient
roofs, and the only “ha'nts’” ever seen
about this old" house are those one
may se¢ as readily with the eyes
closed a= open. To tread the very
boards and open and close the very
doors trod and opened by those who
have been in thelr graves more than
260 years is to give one a strange sen-
sation of nearness to them, and one
of a very Imaginative turn of mind
can easily people the old house with
those who once lived there when It
and America were young.
COSTLY TRAVEL IN DESERT
Courage and Diplomacy Required in
Taking a Caravan Across
Sandy Waste.
The merchants who fit out =a
garfla (caravan) must stand all losses,
consequently great care is given to
the selection of both the camels which
carry the valuable merchandise and
the men who accompany them. The
tall and swift ridingcamel known as
the mehari is seldom met with In
northern Tripoll, The finest male
draughtcamels, the jamal, costing
from $50 to $60 aplece, with a carry:
ing capacity of about three hundred
weight, are used for transport. From
consumption or the fects of the long
strain, scores often dle by the way
and many others at the end of the
“yoyage.” The wages of the men for
conducting a return cargo are some
times as high as $5000. Not omly
must the garfla shelks have great
courage and endurance, but must be
trustworthy traders, and shrewd dip
lomats of no small caliber. Many of
the sultans and chiefs, particularly
the Touaregs, through whose terri
tories lie the garfla routes, exact not
only homage but tribute from the
garfia shelks. To bring this tribute
within a reasonable sum and secure 8
safecondoct requires extrsordinary
skill and tact. The opportunities for
dishonesty afforded the garfla men are
many, aad occasionally men and
goods are pever heard from agaln.—
