"PoORHoUsE JOE"

"And the Preacher War Sayin'
How the Good Deeds of This
World Kin Never Pass Away"
Fer want OF better NAME" he said,
''they called him jest Poorhouse Joe.
Old man Dodge up in Ulster county
looked him outen the poorhouse, and all
them years ulster make him work from
the time the stars went out in the morn
in till the moon riZ at night, says the
New York Recorder. In the winter they
made him sleep whar the snow blowed
on him through the chacks in the rickety
barn.
Fer close on ter seven year old man
Dodge worked Poorhouse Joe fer his
board and keep. He ulster tell Joe that
nOthin' was earned, cause things cost a
heap sight more her they did, and his
wages was swallowed up fer grub am
SIGH.
AN Joe, he was sorter simple like;
ain he jest worked away, allus a-think-
in to himself, but never sayin' word.
Zone winters day Joe was gone, an
knowed in my heart he up an ruined
away at last.
Nobody hunted fer Joe. an soon
everybody forgot him. LeaStwiSe, all
but me.
II kinder ulster wonder wot becomed
of Joe; an often that winter, as | Sot by
the log fire smokin' my pipe, | was
thinkin' as mebbe he was out in the
woods a-starvin' an a-freeZin' ter death.
''An' SO the time run on, boys; an fer
good many years l kept thinkin' of
Joe, and wondern', an wonderin', but
never hearin' word.
"Old man Dodge was gored to death
that fifteenth winter, after Joe was
gone. The farm was all run down, any
how, slowly year after year. Then the
barn took fire. an all was swept away.
Next spring the wilder married agin,
takin' Teller wot was allus drinkin' :;
an the first thing we knowed, the place
was sold under the hammer.
"When the old woman was dYin',
she sent for me an said as how she
wanted to make her peace with God fer
the way they had abused Poorhouse
Joe all them years. Then | told her as
how thar war Jedge on high by whom
the things of this world war set right
An she stretched out her hand, an.
kinder smiled like, an went to sleep.
''Her body was turned over to the
county, fer thar were no money left ter
bury her, when, say, along by the tele-
graph wires, click, click, click, comes
word to give old woman Dodge a
Christian burial, with singin' am
preachin' and all the rest. We never
knowed who it was. but late that day,
Jest as the box was lowered into the
ground, kerriage drives UP from the
station an gifts fine-lookiDg gentle
man wot carries some roses in his hand,
an who comes over an scatters them
over the neW-made heap of sand before
us all.
IAN the preacher was a-sayin' just
then in his sermon how the good deeds
wot are done in this world kin never
pass away"

A STRIP OF LAND
Disposed of by the State appellate
Judges.

Disposed of by the State appellate
Judges.
The court, through Justice Dickinson,
reverse the order Of the trial court IN
the case of the City of Duluth, re-
epondent, VS.. The st. Paul u Duluth
IA lroad Company ct al, appellants.
The case involves the title to forty
foot strip of land south of Dock street,
Duluth. the city claiming that when the
Western Land Association of Minnesota
plated the commerce division of Du
1alh it intended that the strip should be
dedicated to it for the purpose of OPEN
ing the street to the shore of Lake Su-
perior. The railroad company claimed
the property through purchase from
the association. The lower court IA
Vored the Zenith city, while the SUI
preme court maintains that the aSsocia-
ton intended to reserve the strip from
public use when it plated the property,
and consequently reverSeS the order OF
the trial refusing new trial. The
syllabus i'll the case follows:
The owner Of lands on the north shore of
o bay OF Lake Superior plated the same for
town purposes pursuant to the statute. The
plating of blocks and streets was extended
into the shallow water south and beyond the
shore street named Dock street, end
marked as eighty feet wide, was shown as
extending along the southerly side of the
plat. i'll the water. Other streets from the
north opened into this street, but were not
indicated as extending across or south of it.
South of Dock street. as thus marked, were
two continuous parallel east and west lines
of considerable length, connected at one end
and thus forming All enclosure which was
marked as being forty feet wide. For what
purpose this was plated was not stated. 1t
appeared to bound Dock street on the south.
and the plating was not extended south of
the enclosure. Held, that the plating of
the narrow strip along the south side of
Deck street and the streets opening into it
from the north should not be extended south
of Dock street, and that the extent of the
public easement was thus effectually limited.

she was in sleeping attire and in bed,
and attempted to rape her. This oc-
CURED soon after the railroad wreck
near Toledo, in which McKenZie's wife
and two children were killed. The girl
Eliza was staying at McKenzie's resi-
dence on Lyndale avenue, because he
requested Mrs. Day to allow her to re-
main at the house. She was the COM
panion of his daughter killed in the
wreck. When the assault came out,
Mckenzie said that all there was to the
charge was that he 'sgot to fooling with

MINNEAPOLIS,
BOHEMIAN TROUBLES.
Two Suits Brought on by the 10
pecky Case.

Some time ago the wife of Joseph Ko-
pecky brought suit for divorce, charg-
ing him with cruelty and the use of pro-
fame language. She was unsuccessful
in her attempt, but the victory for Ko-
pecky bore the ear marks of defeat. AS
a result of the case two big suits against
Kopecky for SANDER were filed in the
district court yesterday. Frank Kloda
and Joseph Cheveney are the plaintiffs.
Each asks $4,000. They charge
that Kopecky accused them of commit
ting adultery with his wife, and at the
same time called them vile names. This
occurred OH Oct. 26 of last year. Both
plaintiffs say that Kopecky's statements
became circulated in the neighborhood
and have done them considerable in
jury.
The Kopeckys and the plaintiffs are
residents of the Bohemian colony locat-
ed near Hopkins station OH the st. Louis
road. Kopecky is one of the prominent
members of the colony.
