Queerest Man IN Dakota.
The Eastern papers had been circu.
lating the report that nearly every
farm in Dakota was plas:tered with .
mortgage and that all of them were for
sale. Chip and IwBre determined to
break this report if we had to visit
every quarter section in the Territory
in order to find the exception. We
had travelled ffty-seven days in this
pursuit, and our iron determination
was fast turning into lead, when we
rode up to a large building witha small
farm that evidently belonged to it.
A man sat on the fence whfttling 8
stick.
We are collecting a few items y
said Chip, as he drew out his note.
book. Il suppose this farm raises the
usual 60 bushels of wheat to the acref
corn, 125? 'taters, 600 and y

at him with strange look in his eve.
1er'Il have ter revise them hggers
bit. Set the wheat at 10 bushels PEI
acre; corn at 25; and taters at So"
''Wh-what?" stammered Chip, as
his notebook and pencil dropped to
the ground. '.Say it again, friend, kind
o. slow. Mebbe my pard can catch on
to the racket
The man repeated his statements
As soon as Chip could rally he went
on:
yell excuse the question, but, con
ferdenshally, the amount of mortgage
on this ere farm is--''
'.Nary cent" came promptly from
the man.
Again Chip was about to collapse,
but he reused himself for the final
question: s.
..And the price," =
"Not for SALE"
I raised Chip from the ground and
propped him against a post. Just then
q man came running from the house
with pair. Of handouts, and took the
man from the fence. We had struck
the lunatic asylum and had been talk.
ing with an escaped lunatic.
This poor fellow once owned small
farm which he would neither mortgage
nor SELL" explained the overseer.
"People focked to see him from all
parts of the territory, and 'twasn't
long before we had to bring him here.
He imagines that he owns this place,
and still clings to his old ideas.''
But, pard, we've struck a place that
ain't fer sale, anyhow cried Chip, re-
covering the use of a to,nguethat seldom
failed him.
''Well, I don't know bout that" said
the man.. "We've hasl this asylum here
for several years, and now our neigh
boring town wants it for awhile. They
offer a lot and new buildings free. It
is probable that this place will be in
the market in a few days, if it is not al,
| ready
Chip was getting nervous. He ex.
planned our mission to the overseer,
whose keen eyes, meanwhile, wandered
constantly from one of us to the other.
Suddenly a charge of his features
showed that his doubts had settled into
conviction. ~
