Prom the Detroit Free Press,


A mOtherly old woman, considerably troubled
with the asthma, and also lame called at the
Twentieth street station the other afternoon to
state her case. She made the sergeant place
his hand on copy Of Browns grammar, which
happened to be there, and swear that he would
never tell anybody, and then she began: Il

has beau" perfectly natural" They are
engaged, and the wedding day has been set
three times, but he iunks out Of it every time.
The first time he claimed that his father was
dead: the second time he was afraid he had
smallpox, and the third time, which was YES
terday, he said it would bring bad luck TO
marry when comet was visible. Now. then.

A Florida Curiosity.

man from North Billerica, Mass, bought a
piece Of wild land near Lake Hickpochee be-
cause of a wonderful natural curiosity which the
land agent pointed out to him. It was a pal
metto log wedged into the branches Of water
oak 20 feet from the ground. The purchaser
moved upon the place, and spent his time be-
tween meals and grubbing roots In wondering
at the log in the tree. One day last week he
solved the problem. It rained as It rains only
In the Everglades, turning food of water
from the saw grass region down into Lake
Hickpochee, and his neighbors heard him shout
ing three miles away. He hallooed all night
long, and the next morning they went over in
boat and brought him out. He was sitting in
the top OF the tree with his feet In the water,
and, with long pole, was keeping off floating
palmetto logs that were endangering his seat
by wedging themselves In among the branches.
The land agent thinks he can sell the place tor
him at profit when the water goes down, IL
the food does not ruin the curiosity Jackson
