arrived. Now. this was an unchristian

| later session. A couple of weeks age
three young men called in company to
| see the girls, one of the visitors being
hearty and, sincere admirer of the eld-
est daughter. The six young people
were having the jolliest time imagin-
able when clock on the mantel chimed
ten. The girls sighed, knowing full
we'll that in few minutes they would
hear their fathers unwelcome call
downstairs:
Girls, it's after ten o'clock"
II came sure enough and the young
men reluctantly took the hint. At a
nearby drugstore where they pur-
chased goodnight cigar the admirer
OF the eldest girl was struck with an in
spiration and communicated, his idea to
the other two. They were delighted
with it and promised cordial coopera-
ton. A few evenings later the three
called again one pleasant evening and
found the three girls sitting on the
front steps. Although the evening was
pleasantly warm, each of the young
men carried on his arm light oyercoat.
One OF the girls offered to carry the
coats inside. but the instigator Of the
plot said:
Never mind. 1 know where to hang
them"
with that he took from two compan-
ions their coats and went into the hall.
Here he hung the garments up, first
taking from the folds of each the big
gest and noisiest alarm clock which the
conspirators could find. The clocks
were carefully set at ten minutes after
ten by the timePiece on the mantel in
side. All were placed on the lid of the
hall tree. Time passed rapidly and all
too soon the chime rang ten. A few
minutes later the old gentleman came
10 the head Of the stairs and said as of
yore:
Girls. it's after ten o'clock"
Just at that moment the horrible rat

HERMIT AND HORSE.

Turns Up the Sell.

Congressman Robert R. Hit, chair
man OF the house committee on foreign
AFFAIRS, and who represents the Ninth
illinois district, occasionally receives
n letter from queer old constituent
who resides on an island in the Mis-
sissippi river. The land is in Illinois,
though it is cut off from the mainland
by a slough which the swift current
has cut through the soil of 10 Daviess
county.
This old man, now in his seventy
third year. has resided on the island 81
years. He is hermit of the most &C.
centric character. living entirely alone
and away from sight or sound of any
other human being. He is completely
isolated. his rude hut being hidden in
network of willow brush and wild grape
vines. His hut cannot be reached with
out the aid OF n boat and guide. who
must find his way through maze of
sloughs which wind around in thou
sand acres of lowlauds. The old man
is disturbed only by high water which
has three times invaded his abode and
washed him off the island. He would
like to have Mr.. Hit induce Uncle Sam
to build dam across the lcwland to
protect his little farm on the island.
The old man Is named Gott!ieb Lett
sof. He was born In the province OF
Pomerania. Prussia, 73 years ago. He
comes from family of warriors. Twl
of his sons distinguished themselves
the war with Austria in 1866 and agal
in the Franco-Prussian conflict in 1870.
He says he has written his congress-
man that If any help is needed to whip
the dons he will emerge from his home
in the brush and take 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 chick.
ems, COW and two cats. He farms the
land without the aid OF man or beast.
He has constructed queer ,plow after
his own odd ideas. 1t is made from the
forked branch of . tree. The forks
serve as handles and thills. To the butt
is bolted an old iron p;owshare. The
odd feature about the contrivance is
that the share points backward. The
aged Prussinn harnesses his own body
and bitches himseh to this plow. His
harness fits over his back and around
his waist. He couples onto the share
by means OF a wire reaching from his
harness. Then he stands between the
thills, with which he takes hold with
his hands. He walks backward like a
horse in his breeching, The share takes
hold in the soft soil and plows and fur
rows four inches deep. This il all that
is necessary in such rich land. iillI
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 ali kinds of hard
work without experiencing any dele
terious results. He takes turn at
hunting and fishing, is good shot and
lucky angler.-Philadelphia Press.
