Life In q HOgshead.

About ten years ago travelling tinker
named Kenniston. we'll known through
out Picataquis county, Maine, mysteri-
ously disappeared, and fears were en-
tertained that he had been murdered.
But in a short time he was discovered
to be living the life of a hermit on a
lonely island on the Moosehead Lake.
His dwelling-house befitted the for
tunes of retired tinker, being in sum-
mer large dry goods box. In winter,
Diogenes-like, he esconced himself in
hogshead. He lived on the frugal
fare which dame Nature provides in
that region, and appeared happy. His
clothing bill during the ten years Of his
voluntary exile did not amount to So.
His original garments were in a few
years entirely gone and replaced by
patches innumerable and of ali colors.
His little store of money, earned by
trapping, he carried in a patch on his
trowsers. His social visits were limited
to occasional journeys across the lake
to another island on which also lived a
hermit of like habits of life. This sum-
mer Kenniston's friends sought him
out, and yielding to their persuasions
he has abandoned his summer and win
ter residences" and retired to civil
ized life

Indian Love.

Even the Apache Indians have a
touch of delicate romance in them.
Every young girl is at liberty to refuse
a suitor. Not parents or brothers may
interfere in her choice. After brief
courtship The lover makes formal pro-
posal by offering SO many horses.
Horses are standard of value among
Indians. AS the squaw does all the
work, horses are accepted as al equiva-
lent for her labor. When young war
rior becomes enamored, he fastens the
horse near the wigwam of the squaw
whose hand he seeks, where he is left
for four days. If she fails to feed and
water the horse during that time, the
master is rejected; but if she accepts
his offer she grooms and kindly cares for
the horse, and then ties him to the wig
wan of her lover, as much as to say, "I
am willing to be your slave and do your
work"
