Kickapoo Indian Sagwa

his first start in life to a hopeless-look-
ing potato patch. He was the son OF a
Massachusetts farmer, who didn't take
stock in education, and the boy was tied
up to hard farm work, says Kate Fields
Washington. With his mothers aid he
had received some elementary school
ing, but anything beyond that seemed
hopeless, because every hour of his
time was claimed.
One spring there were a few seed
potatoes left over after planting, and
Mr.. Warren told the lad he might stick
them in for himself in very rock patch
of land, provided he'd give in return
certain number of bushels for the use
of the soil. 1t was a hard deal but young
Warren'S grit rose to the occasion.
The land was too rocky to pillow,
if he had had the means to do so, but he
broke it up somehow, and stuck seed
potatoes in wherever he could. There
was great patch of coarse-rooted grass
that he couldn't get over. but there was
still some seed left, and finally the boy
poked it under the edges of the grass
wherever he could.
He had no hopes of making anything
off his venture, but drought and every
disease known to the potato world ap-
pCdI GU blldt Y cdls Tue ClUP Was d Cuil-
plete failure. aud Warren was too dis
heartened even to dig his spoils.
His father. however, insisted on
it. but there was nothing but
nubbing to reward them. Then
Warren IN despair lifted the edges
OF the troublesome grass with a
crowbar, and there were potatoes fit for
king, in spite of the fact that they
were an inferior variety. They were
big and fine, and lots of them.
The result was that the boy managed
to rescue enough money to start him at
Wilbraham academy, and from that
time on he bent things to his own ad-
vantage, no matter what the difficulties.

A HEADLEsS GHOST.

1T Plays Sad Havoc With the
Courage of an EXpressman.
Globe Democrat.
A Dubuque eXpresSman who was
hired to haul load of goods from this
city to Fairplay, Wis. yesterday, tells
hair-raising story of meeting with a
ghost. After delivering his goods be
started to return home last evening.
While passing through the woods he
felt cold chill, different from anything
time he heard noise behind him, and,
looking over his shoulder, saw man
running behind his wagon.
Thinking the fellow was wild on con-
ing to Dubuque. he invited the stranger
to seat i'll his wagon. The invitation
was no sooner extended than the man
was standing behind the seat. Turning
around to look at his passenger, the
driver saw to his horror that the
stranger had no head. The driver
leaped to the ground and the strange
object did the same, Ringing its arms
about and pointing to a red bridge just
passed. Almost paralyZed with terror,
the eXpressman climbed back into the
wagon and whipped up his horses, 1eay-
ing the specter behind.
1t is stated that the same apparition
has been seeh on several occasions by
farmers passing this point. 1t has been
ascertalned that man named James
Strong was murdered near this vicinity
thirty-fOur years ago, and when the re-
mains were discovered they were head
less. There was uninistakable evidence
that the head had been chopprd off with
an ak. and two bullet holes were found
in his breast.
