A Detroit real estate agent, says NJ.
Quad, was waited on yesterday by II tall
man with n weed on bis 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 II register Of
descriptions. He had several farms regis
tered on his books and lie had no doubt
he could suit the would-be purchaser
The stranger remarked:
What / want is farm Of about three
hundred acres
"I've got il" replied the dealer.
I'D like about six big hills on il"
Hero she is-herc's Il farm with exactly

"Hcre you are. Here's a farm with a
lake exactly in the centre
"And want a big natural cavern in

Here you are, there's u cave on this
farm which can't be beat
The stranger drew long breath and
went on;

but one hundred acres must be marsh
land"
Here she is" was the ready reply
Just three hundred acres in the farm and
Just one hundred in marsh land"
L must have waterfall twenty-s feet
high on the farm continued the stranger.

waterfall of twenty-five feet and eleven
inches. ] don't suppose an inch more or
less, on waterfall, amounts to much
"Well, no but | want windmill on
one of the hills"
"That was put up last year," was the
calm reply.
1t was some time before the stranger
thought OF anything else, but finally said !:
