A KENTUCKY HERMIT
Has Not Set Foot on the Ground
for Over Thirty Years.
Made q Peculiar Vow and Lives the
Life of n RecIuse, Although Pos
sessed of Considerable Prop
erty and Good ....sh.

-. Living in solitude in the eastern
portion OF Nelson county, ten in.ea
from Bardstown, is one of the most
singular characters in Kentucky.
Now in his seventy-fifth year, he
has not touched foot to the earth
for over 30 years.
Basil Hayden, says the Philadelphia
Press, is one of the wealthiest farm.
ers in district composed of 12 coun.
ties, and is descended from a family
well known in the pioneer annals Of
the state.
Many of them have also been dis.
Tinguished in the different lines OF
life.
One of his brothers, Raymond II,
Hayden, for years held a controlling
interest in one of the most famous
distilleries in the United States. He,
too, had peculiar ideas and lived a
bachelor all his life, and at last died
at an advanced age under singular
circumstances.
He was found dead in his orchard
a number of years ago, a bottle that
had contained poison lying by his
side. 1t was generally thought that
he had committed suicide, but there
were some who held the opinion that
he had met with foul play and the
poison bottle was placed near him
for a blind.
Basil Hayden, "The Hermit" as he
is known throughout the section in
which he lives, in his youth was a
social leader and very popular with a
large circle of friends.
When the war broke out he entered
the confederate army and made a
good soldier to the end.
When he returned home he found
his slaves free and his property great
ly damaged. The emancipation of his
negroes affected him seriously, and
he brooded over it constantly.
He became sullen and morose, de.
clining all overtures at friendlness
on the part of his neighbors. He

ting by II. Carmen, of the Kentucky
station, may, therefore, not come
amiss.
When the nursery is small it is pos
sible to inclose it with a close slat
fence that will "turn" rabbits and
serve all the purposes of the ordinary
fences required to keep out stock. In
timbered countries, where rabbits are
most troublesome, fences of this char
acter may be cheaply built. Two types
of fence suitable for the purpose are
to be seen in the state. The most COM

feet long and about three inches in
width. The Stats are securely fastened
together from one to two inches apart
with No. II wire, stout posts being set
at intervals Of 10 to 16 feet to insure

Vegetables In the Cellar.

All vegetables keep better at a low
temperature and, excepting in the Sc
verest weather. the cellar window
may be kept open during the day, at
least, II II is on the south side. It
also helps to keep the cellar sweet
and fresh. We know there is no need
OF an ill-smelling cellar. Vegetables
properly buried and an open window
in all suitable weather will prevent
unsavory odors. Have q regular
time for closing the window, as you
do for any other "chore," and all
will be we'll.

FLOATING DOCK BREAKS.
Much Damage Done to Dock Recently
Purchased at Havana.


Washington, Sept. 19.-United States
Consul General Bragg at Havana has
cabled the state department confirma-
ton of the press reports of an accident
to the big floating steel dry dock there
which was recently purchased by the
United States from Spain. He says
that the dock broke near the center
while the end sections were being sus-
pended.
Secretary Moody received the follow
ing cablegram from Lieutenant Com
mander Edward j. Dorm, who was re-
Gently placed in charge of the naval
property at Havana:
While self-docking, end pontoons of
floating dry dock broke in two at the
gangways Side walls ruptured. Re-
guest naval constructor at once
Naval officials are not prepared to
give an estimate of the damage to the
dry dock at once without more detailed
information concerning the injury. The
assumption would be that if the dock
literally broke in two it would have
sunk. Naval Constructor Gillmor has
but recently returned to Washington
from Havana, where he inspected the
repair work upon the dock, and it is
probable that he will be sent at once
to Havana in answer to Lieutenant
Commander Dorn's request.
