THE HERMIT BROTHERS.
They Successfully Deded PhfIadelDhf,
Police for Many Years.


Police for Many Years.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Standing almost concealed from view at
43d street and Lancaster avenue there is
an old frame building. 1t is yet In a good
state Of preservation, and shows few signs
Of its long existence. although it is among
the oldest residences in that locality. But
apart from its old age and ancient history
1t has great store of "reminiscences Here
live two brothers, Frank and Peter Oster-
heldt, who many years ago shut themselves
in from the world so far as social relations
60 Both brothers live a hermit life and
are eccentric in their mode.
The windows are always tightly closed
and the house looks as IL 1t were the realm
Of the dead rather than that Of the living.
Many a passer-by stands and looks into the
frcnt yard and peeps through the back
fence into the rear yard speculatin9 as To
the manner Of life within. The back ward
Is in itself a regular junk shop. for here
hove been gathered and stored for years
such old truck Of all sorts gathered by the
brothers in their midnight rambles Thew
have one peculiar liking for old shoes, and
old cast-on footwear Of all kinds and in all
states Of dilapidation can be found cafe
fully stored away.
1t would take many wagon loads to clear
away the rubbish in the desolate premises
at the rear. Old tin and tinware crockery.
glass, metal and even frewood Is piled up
to the top OF the fences. The collection
has become so large that the brothers have
dug trenches in the yard and buried their
odd treasure.
No one has ever dared to invade the pre-
cincts of that back yard and come out
without being roughly treated. One day
an enterprising Italian ragpicker. in going
around the back alleyways, happened to
look through and saw a rich harvest in the
old refuse. He went to the front and tried
at the rear to attract the attention of the
occupants of the building. Failing to do
so, he thought the house was vacant and
that the way was clear for him for a rich
haul. He scaled the back fence and hauled
over his bag. He had. however scarcely
begun to Gull out what he considered of
value to him when one Of the brothers ap-
peared with club. The ragpicker escaped
with his life. more from good luck and
quickness than anything else. He lost his
bag and hat, and when he limped from the
back alleyway he congratulated himself
that he had got out alive. He appealed to
a policeman to get him his hat, but the ap-
peal was in vain, for the bluecoat disliked
intruding into the domains of the eccentric
brothers.
About four years ago one of the brothers
became deranged and 1t required whole
detail Of policemen to get him into the
patrol wagon and send him to the Fhfla-
delphia Hospital.

Seeds Came Up After All.
From Golfers Weekly,

He carefully prepared the small garden
plot. while his wife, deeply interested In his
labor. stood watching him. After he had
put in the seeds and smoothed over the bed
his wife took his arm to accompany him to
the house. and on the way she asked

SoAPSUD POLITICS
How a Citizen Gets on the
Inside

While was sitting in the barber |
shop the other day waiting to get my
somewhat scanty locks shorn, and in
cidentally, to gather in point or two
IN politics, which, let me tell you, is a
pretty good occupation when you are
properly paid for it, 1 was greatly
amused at the roar that went up from
few artistic kickers who were dis
cussing the hard times and the harder
lines of the business man. One OF them
said with tears that he had unavailing-
ly strived to sell to citizen for twelve
dollars and a half suit of clothes
that, he assured his hearers, cost him
ten and half laid down in Carson.
He could not make the sale, he said,
because the citizen was going to Sac
ramento in a few days and could get it
! for dollar less there and could wear
it home, thereby saving the freight.
That made me hot, too, because it
struck me where / live. How can q
man make an honest living by doing
politics if the people don't stand in
with the railroad and pay their freig hit
like gentlemen? Just then enc of the
kickers said that maybe the citizen
had a grudge against the v. & T., and
that made me laugh because no one
has any reason to complain against
that truly beneticent and paternal cor
pOration. So | said:
Don't they pay their taxes the
same as you do, and don't they stand
in on every proposition for the local
good? And don't they pay out lots OF
good dollars every month for things
they need
Then wished that I had got my
hair cut somewhere else. The ma na
that went up was something awful,
and l got it all. AS soon as l was able
to understand anything l learned to
my horror that it seems to be the alb
surd impression here that the r. r.
don't love Carson. 1t is said they for
ever howl about their taxes; they don t
stand in on anything unless they have
the sappy end of it, and worst of all
these barber-shop, loungers lad the
nerve to tell me that the V. & T. Il. r.
actually does retail business in com.
petition to local people, and that with.
out paying cent for licenses.
There's one thing dead certain, and
that is, if I'm expected to do good pol
itics I've got to have more inside in
formation than I'm getting. Think
ing that maybe l had better do {
whole lot less talking and little NOR.
thinking sat still and kept my mus
shut. The talk drifted around to tn,
habit that seems to prevail here, o
sending away for everything that cal
be had for few cents less elsewhere
Even the societies that exist by direc
or indirect subscriptions of those VIII,
live here, send to San Francisco for al
they want, sometimes using somebody
express frank to get it here. l found
myself waxing indignant again, bu
remem bering my other experience,
pretended to have some soap in m,
mouth and said nothing 1t was
good thing l did, too, because I'm
hob-nobbing with all sorts and ccndi
tions of men these days and can't al
ford to lose any tricks.
