KERMIT AND HORSE.
An AGED Illinois Character Who Fas-
tens Himself to q Plow and
Turns Up the Soil.

Congressman Robert r. Hit, chair
man of the house committee on foreign
affairs, and who represents the Ninth
Illinois district, occasionally receives
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 slough which the swift current
has cut through the soil of Jo Daviess
county.
This old man, now in his seventy
third year, has resided on the island 27
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 boat and guide, who
must find his way through a maze of
sloughs which wind around in a thou
sand acres of lowlands. 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 Gottlieb Lett
sof. He was born in the province of
Pomerania, Prussia, 70 years ago. He
comes from n 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 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
little room ten feet square. 1t is
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 n 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 Prussian harnesses his own body
and bitches himself TO this piow. 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
horse in his breeching The share takes
hold in the soft soil and plows and fur
rows four inches deep. This is all that
is necessary in such rich land. 4
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 dele
terious results. He takes u turn at
hunting and fishing, is good shot and
lucky angler.-Philadelph Press.
