A LEARNED HERMIT,
Wise Country Folk Are Much Inter-
ested In Him,

ested In Him.
In the edge of Wise county, Va, not
far from Pound Gap, lives one of the
most scholarly men in the south. He is
a hermit, living in mountain cabin,
with no companion save his dogs, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Forty years ago Henry Lewis was a
leading society man OF Baltimore, but
the girl whom he loved proved false.
He fed to the old world, hoping to
drown his love amid the gay scenes of
Paris, London and Rome. Later he
went to Egypt, passed through Asia
and returned to America the day after
Fort Sumter was fred upon.
He Joined the confederate army and
served with distinction to the close of
the war. After the war Lewis bought
his mountain cabin and has been liv-
Ing the life of recluse ever since. He
has a fine library, of which he makes
good use.
Once month he goes to the neigh
boring village aud lays in his supplies.
He is fine linguist and is well versed
in geology, mineralogy, ornithology,
but never talks upon these subjects un-
less requested to do SO by those who
visit him.
Lewis is nearing 10 and is growing
feebler every day and it can't be long
before he passes away. 1t is the opinion
OF the country folk that Lewis is only
an assumed name and that on his death
bed he will reveal his identity.

Obituary.

Walter F. eager, son of Nelson and
Mary F. eager, was born in Orleans
township. Winneshiek county, Feb.
10, 1866, and died Nov. 10, 1897,
after an illness of but three days du-
ration, aged thirty years and nine
months. ssv
He was converted to Christ in 1892,
uniting with the Methodist church,
and has been consistent member of
that church until his death, filing
the responsible positions OF Sunday
School Superintendent and president
OF the Epworth League.
He was one of family of nine
children, and the third to pass
through the gates, a sister dying in
childhood and another sister dying
about two months ago. His parents,
five sons ana one daughter, still are
among us, awaiting the summons OF
our Heavenly Father.
The interment was on Friday, the
IL, in Oak Lawn cemetery, the funer-
al being from the Morgan church,
Rev. Shaffer, of Cresco, officiating.

tion Agrees with DIR. Nansen.
A. S. Franklin, who was the inter
prefer with the Wellman expedition in
1894, went to the navy yard at New York
the other day and inspected the mete-
erite brought back from the frozen
north by Lieut.. Peary. Afterward he
said he agreed with DR.. Nansen in his
doubts as to the celestial origin of the
specimen.
1T is not meteorite at ALL" he said,
but merely mass of telluric iron.
"When was with Mr.. Wellman on
June &c, 1894, Capt. Peterson, Messrs.
Date, Noodle, Bjoroig and myself start
ed out 'irunttng. On Walsh island, for
merlys Known as the Inner Reps island,

latitude, "a degrees 16 minutes sec
onds east longitude, found huge
mass just the same as this so-called
meteorite. took samples and have
compared them with Lieut.. Peary's
specimen, and they are almost iden-
tical, though not quite so rich"

THE AMERICAN MAcHIN,sr.
His Work Esteemed the World over
Wherever Machines Are Used.

HIS work Esteemed the World Over
Wherever Machines Are Used.
The fame of the American machinist
extends everywhere; his ingenuity in
planning and his skill in execution are
known wherever man uses machines
and tools. If there is any one branch
of work in which he excels more than in
another it is in the building of special
machinery, by which is meant ma
chimes not kept in stock or regularly
manufactured, but specially devised
and made for special uses, says an ex-
change.
For instance, man designs some ar
ticle of use which he works up by hand,
or by the aid of machinery. To pro-
duce this article in quantities, at such
a cost that it can be sold at profit,
special machinery is required. The
designer or inventor takes the article
to the builder of machines and says:
"Can you make a machine that will
make these things, and will you guar
antee it to worl?" 1t is altogether
probable that the machine builder an
swers yes to both questions, because
there is practically nothing that he can
not do.
Special machinery is built for wide
variety of uses. AS the knowledge of
American skill in this direction, now
long familiar, has spread, orders have
come from all over the world and spe-
cial machinery is sent from here also
for use in enterprises installed or
conducted by Americans in foreign
countries.
Such machinery, for various uses, is
shipped from this country almost every
where. One big machine shop that
is largely engaged in the pro-
duction of special machinery sends
probably third of its work out of the
country. It has sent machines to every
land.

for Clear Lake, which will be his
home for the future. He has relatives

The daily papers of Saturday an
nouncc the shutting down of the an
thracite coal mines in the Reading
and Lehigh valley mines for the pur-
pose OF curtailing production and in
creasing prices. Thus the coal trust
arranges to throw its laborers out OF
work, bring want and hunger to them,
and cold and suffering to the poor
among the consumers of their product,
When miners combine for steady en-
ployment and better wages, the courts
are ready with injunctions and sheriffs
with armed men to shoot down the
miners making these demands, but
when the coal barons meet and plan
to throw laborers out of employment
and rob consumers of coal, these
courts are as silent as the tomb.

Origin of Polo,

Polo is one of the Oldest games known
to civilization, says an exchange. 1t
was played by the young swells of
L'Hassa on the tableland of Thibet,
between the Himalayas and Kwenlun
mountains, many centuries ago. Tray
cling westward, it reached the Byzan-
tine emperor, Manuel Comnenus L.,
about the middle of the twelfth CEN
tury. He played it with great effect.
1t was called 'pulu," which is Thibetan
for ball. In 1871 it was introduced into
England by some cavalry officers who
had learned it in India. Being in Eng
land, it had to come here. Our shin
ney" and hockey" and the lacross of
the Indians are notifications of polo.
We not only play the game on horse
back, but in water and on roller skates,
