AN OLD MISER'S WEALTH.

John V. Schanck, a miser now
seventy two years old, living in a
house at Bradeville, village near
Matawan, New Jersey, having been
Frustrated by a third paralytc
stroke, has called in three of his
neighbors to make an inventory of
the wealth he had stored away in
all parts Of the house where he had
lived all his life, and for the last five
years entirely alone. The miser had
mania for buying firearms. He
had thirty.four muskets and seven
big army pistols. In the barrel OF
one Of the old muskets, nearly five
hundred dollars in gold and silver
coin were found. Judge Spader,
one of his nelghbors, found in an
ancient bureau.dIawer in the gar.
ret, along with a lot OF old iron,
81 900 in gold and silver, AID in
rickety wash.stand was pile of
notes, tied around with a piece of
tarred rope. On counting the notes
they aggregated $4,000.
The bundle was carried down to-
the old miser, who said he had for.
gotten all about them. He never
counted over his possessions. He
was satisfied simply with the accu-
mutation of money. Along with the
money that the neighbors kept find
ing all the afternoon, was half
hasketful of bullets. The old man
had made them himself. He ad.
mitted that he expected an attack
by robbers some day. He was pre-.
pared. He said he could arrange a
dozen loaded muskets and q dozen
loaded pistols at various windows,
and by quickly moving from one
window to another could make it
appear as though the house was
guarded by score of men. Before
the neighbors left they had discov-
cred $4,000 secreted IN various
parts of the house. The dying man
delivered his will to the neighbors,
the contents of which are as yet un.
known. Like all misers, Schanck
had his pets. They are squirrels
He loves squirrels dearly. -Four
years ago he built good sized house
close to the homestead. He built it
OF iron girders, and made it impreg-
nable. The door is of iron. All
over the house are openings just
large enough to admit a squirrel
In this house every spring the miseT
has placed a ton of corn for the
squirrels to feed on. The house Is
crowded just now with happy, chat
tering squirrels. Schanck would sit
by the hour watching the little
animals and talking to them. lie
trained a number, who responded
to his call and would frisk up and
down his arms and run around his
neck.
