A Small Land Grant.

What beyond doubt is the smallest
body of land ever granted by the United
States as a homestead is in Dade, the
extreme southeastern county of the
state of Florida. 1t consists of a small
island in the north end of Lake Worth,
and it is less than one-fourth of an acre
in extent. Yet the claim for it was en-
tered in the land office at Gainesville,
and the owner paid five dollars for the
fee and 81 cents for the land. He makes
about $50 a month from his investment,
as the island is right in the path of green
and loggerhead turtles coming into the
lake from the ocean to feed, and there he
catches them.

HORSEBACK IN I NiaHsT. 70 ROBE.

Queer Actions Attributed to Hector MIL
burn, aSomnambulist, of Muncie, Ind.
The actions performed by Hector Mil
burn while asleep the other morning
are the most remarkable ever reported
in Muncie, Ind. Milburn is employed
at the Ball Brothers glass works and re-
sides in Congerville, suburb. Milburn
has often walked in his sleep, but never
left the house in a commandment state
until the other morning. About 2:30
o'clock he left his bed and jumped from
a second-story window. His six-year-
old boy saw him jump out and he called
his mother, but when she went into the
yard to look for her husband he could
not be found.
Milburn had gone to the stable and
bridled horse and then jumped upon
its back and started south When the
horse had gone about five miles in the
country Milburn awoke, and it was q
long time before he could decide where
he was. AL he had on was a long night
robe. He turned around and started
for home as fast as his horse could go,
looking like an unearthly specter.
Dawn came on before he arrived home
and as he was riding into the city he
met several men who were starting to
work and they were puzzled to know
why Milburn was out riding in his
night shirt. His family and neighbors
had become greatly frightened over his
strange departure, but knew what had
been the matter when they saw him ap'
preaching in his slight attire.

possible, brazened it out with: "a
book, sir, of which no one need be
ashamed" He, too, is credited with the
famous reply to the dean of Trinity col
lege, Oxford. He was being hauled up
by the dean for some audacious breach
of college rules and made perfectly

The agricultural ants" of Sonora,
Mexico, are said to plant fields of grain
and regularly harvest their crops, upon
which they depend wholly for food. In
fact, should the crops fail, they would
perish of famine. On the other hand,
the cereals that they grow have been
specialized by cultivation, like the wheat
and other grains of the human husband

While the friends of Clara Heppen-
stall were gathered at her home at
Freehold, n. Y, the other night talk
ng of her life and of her death on the
day before, they were startled by a
llriell coming from the room where the
body had been laid out.
Several men present rushed to the
room, but the sight that met their gaze
terrified them. Sitting upright in her
white robe was the supposed corpse,
with wide open eyes, staring straight
ahead. On the floor was Charles Bur-
ton, a neighbor, in q dead faint. The
lips of the supposed corpse began to
move, and then she fell back to her
bier. The frightened men plucked up
courage enough to go to the assistance
of Burton, and a doctor was hastily
summoned. $50. --'

the woman was resting quietly and
breathing naturally. She sleeps all the
time. Her physician does not think
her recovery probable, though it is pos

Miss Heppenstall had all the appear
nnces of being dead for more than "a
hours. She had typhoid fever and a
complication of other diseases.
Mr.. Burton stated that he went to the
room to saturate cloths that were over
the eyes of the supposed corpse to pre-
vent discoloration. He noticed moth
ing peculiar about the body, and was
going out of the room. when he cast
another glance at the sheet over the

NEGRO wAsHERwoMAN's LUCK.
She Has q Profitable Oil Well on Her
Suburban Lot.

khe Has frOutADle Ol wen On Hoh
Suburban Lot.
Mrs. John Chris. a colored washer
woman of this city, is realizing more di-
rect profit from an oil well recently
discovered ON her suburban lot than
the Standard Oil company is getting
from any one of it's prospect holes in
this county just now, says Fort Scott
(Kan.) correspondent in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. For six weeks the
"well" on her lot has produced daily
sufficient amount of oil to support her
family at the price of Is cents per gal
lon. She defes the refining trust by
straining the crude oil through a fam
mel rag, which renders it apparently
pure, and in that condition it burns in
lamps, stoves, etc. She is literally
patronized by her neighbors.
The oil oozes out of the ground in
a coal pit at depth of Is feet. Itwas
first discovered in the water of a small
reservoir in the pit, from which Mrs.
Chris took wash water. Her first
thought was that designing persons
had poured the oil in to destroy the
water, and then she thought it came
from leak in ground oil tank across
the street, but finally the flow was dis
covered.
Mount Zion Baptist church is lighted
wholly by oil from this well.
