Saturday that presented about as pit
liable a condition as man could out
side of the grave. He told tale OF
hardship that was nearly impossible
for anyone to believe, but if seeing is
believing, was certainly true. He was
blind in one eye, had but three fing-

other, only had one ear, and but one
foot, still he travelled all over the
country, and said no other job would
suit him, under any circumstances.
