Wanted, a Farm i.

A Detroit real estate agent says NJ. Quad,
was waited on yesterday by tall man with a
weed on his hat, who SAID he had the cash to
pay for farm, provided he could get one to
suit. The agent smiled him to seat, and
brought out his registered descriptions. He
had several farms registered in his books and
he had no doubt that he could suit the would
be purchaser. The stranger remarked
"What want is farm of just 800 acres
"I've got it, replied The dealer.
"Id like about six big hills on It,
"Here she s-heres farm with exactly
SIX hills on It,"
"And I'd like a lake near the centre"
Here you are. Here's farm with a lake
exactly in the centre.
"And want big natural cavern in one of
the hills"
"Here you are. T'ere's cave on this farm
which can't be beat
The stranger crew a long BREATH and went
on:
81 want farm Of 300 acres, but 100 acres
must be marsh md"
"Here she is, las the reply. "JuSt 800
acres IN the fai IN, and just 100 in marsh land
81 must hay, Il waterfall 26 feet on the
farm" centinu.a the stranger.
"Here you are This farm has a natural
waterfall of % :cot aud II inches. | don't
suppose an incl, nore or less, on a waterfall,
amounts to much"
"Well no, but want windmill one one of
the hills"
"That was put up last year, was the calm
reply.
TWAS some time before the stranger thought
of anything else, but finally said:
"There must be a Baptist church right
across the road from the house."
."One built there last summer, sir"
at must be brick church"
$50 il is"
"Has 1t an organ?"
at has"
"Then can't buy the farm of you" said
the stranger, rising to 60. "If there is any.
thing l hate, II is church organ, and you
can see for yourself that would be IN state
OF continual misery. The farm suits me first
rate, but can't 60 that organ"

Mr. OE7oS should respond in person to the
subpmnas Of the two Committees, since, BY
