isolated, his.ude hut being hidden IN
a network Of willow brush and WHO
grapevines. His hut cannot be reached
without the aid of a boat and guide,
who must find his way through q maze
OF sloughs which wind around In a
thousand acres of lowlands. The old
man is disturbed only by high water
which has three times invaded his abode

The old man is named Gottlieb Lett
sof. He was born in the province of
Pomerania, Prussia, IS years ago. He
comes from family of warriors Two
of his SONS distinguished themselves in
the war with Austria in 1866 and again
in the Franco Prussian conflict in 1870
He says he has written his congressman
that if any help is needed to whip the
dons he viii emerge from his home in
the brush and take a willing hand.
Leitsof cooks, eats and sleeps in a
little room ten feet square. 1t is a part
of hut which he built with his own
hands. He has flock of chickens, q
COW and two cats He farms the land
without the aid Of man or beast. He
has constructed queer pillow after his
own odd IDEAS It is made from the
forked branh of q tree. The forks serve
as handles md thills. The odd feature
about the rntriyance is that the share
points backward.
The aged Prussian harnesses mis- own
body and bitches himself to this pillow.
His harness fits over his back and
around his waist. He couples on to the
share by means of wire reaching from
his harness Then he stands between
the thills, which he takes hold Of with
his hands. He walks backward like
a horse in its breeching. The share
takes hold h the soft soil and plows a
furrow -four inches deep. This is all
that is necessary in such rich land.
In this manner he has broken up
many acres. He raises enough stuff to
support him and keep his stock. His
taxes are always promptly paid. In his
old age he performs all kinds Of hard
work without experiencing any delete
