A UNIQUE HERMIT.
For Twenty-Five Years He Has
Lived in a Hole in the Ground.
Disappointed in Love He With
drew From Human Society.

In the town of Blaine. Me, there
is a unique hermit. For twenty-five
years no he's lived in hole in the
ground. This picturesque roclnse,
George Monroe, is now sixty years
old, but stays ia MS singular abode IN
spite 81 Increasing age and iniirmltics.
Ho spends his existence like a prairie
dog.
A New York press correspondent
saw the old mau in his dugout the 9th
or day. 1t is place unfit for human
abode. In tho side of n hill he has
dug hole aud rooted it over with
poles aud sod. A rude door is stout
ly made aud fastened by number OF
hooks and hasps. and locked with
big, rusty paddock. Tho only other
vent is q little window With an outside
shutter.
housekeeping is simple with this
hermit. When his house gets musty
and odoriferous he moves, digs new
hole aud takes his roof with him. Then
he has a new house. fresh and clean
His only implement is mn old spade
which he has worn down sharp. There
are two rooms to his house, an outside
store room, about five by eight feet,
and his living room, where in low
space about four by eight no has his
cook.stovc, his bed and his provisions
(Which consist of barrel of flour,
can of molasses, and apiece OF pork.
This old man hns lived in this misora-
bio hole for a quarter Of century
without u bath, change OF clothes or
decent food; yet no is in good health,
has good lungs, q good digestion, and
not trace of rheumatism.
The hermit's costume consists of
only two articles, a tattered pair OF
trousers aud u dirty red shirt The
way in which they are kept together
and prevented from dropping of from
his gaunt frame by sundry pieces OF
string. strands OF rope, and bits of
yarn, instead OF buttons, is something
to marvel at
But no was not always thus. He
has seen better days 1t is the same
old story-tho same sad story OF dis
appointment and bitterness. When
he started out in life he owned large
and fertile farm, sni. lived in com.
Portable dwelling house above ground.
Nothing save a vito was lacking to
make his lifo ono Of happiness and
peace. Then came the love disap-
pointment, and the consequent dejec-
ton. He gradually became more tao
turn, aud finally withdrew from his
associates 1t was too much trouble
to run house Just for himself. he
said, and then there was the likeli-
hood Of fire; no 10 gayo it up aud
retired to his hole IN the grounl.
where no has lived ever since. Tho
world will never know the whole story
of the old mans career, for he refuses
to speak of his past.
