Near Marquette, according to Wis

several years in a tree. He is first
class cabinet maker, and when he
came to Marquette from Detroit, he
took up his residence in the hollow
trunk of tree near the town.
The tree is huge linden, sawed or
about. fifteen feet from the ground, and
in it the occupant has brought to bear
his accomplishments as workman.
He has cut a door and window. The
inner walls Of his home are ceiled and
papered. A circular seat extends round
the room from door to window, and
there is comfortable pile Of furs that
makes a luxurious he'd. The place IS
warmed, when warmth is needed, with
an oil-stove The man plays htteen
different musical instruments, and
with these and books entertains HIM
