Ten Acres From which an Ex-Tramp
Expects ~ 500 Year tor Llre.-

GLgNBrHS Me-, Aug. s.-Five years
ago Bob Carley came to this town as a
tramp too Ill to travel. After recuperating
he spent the winter in cutting and shaving
hoop-poles, earning living and having
SO coming 10 him in the spring
With this money he bought ten acres
of alder-grown hoop-pole swamp and
began 10 burn rough alder wood into char
coal, which he sold in Bangor He used
the crooked sticks tor making rustic lawn
furniture-.settees, chairs and rude s~ings-..
all Of which found quick sales among the
summer Visitors who owned cottages.
Later in the season re- reaped tons Of
cat-ail finSs, the leaves OF which are used
by coopers for chinkinR in between their
new barrel slaves, and which sold for
500 ton, ten times the price of ordinary
meadow hay. The nsxt winter he again
turned his energies to making hoop-poles,
Owing To The rapid growth of the alders
he learned that The sprouts would grow
from the size Of n lead pencil 10 four and
Ave inches In diameter and be fiji for cutting
in ten years. BY dividing his land into ten
lots, each containing an acre, and cutting
of one acre every year, he could keep up
a succession OF fuel and charcoal for all
time.
This summer Carlcy has built house
costing nearly 81 1000. IT is finished and
paid for and the owner has money in two
banks, and is getting an income Of $3.50
q year from strip OF swamp land which
was not thought TO be worth returning
thanks for, and sold for about enough TO
pay for making out the transfer papers.
just now the citizens think The ex-tramp
is one Of the most successful men In town
and have offered 70 elect him 10 the Legis-
lature so ha may teach the lawmakers
how to earn big profits from muck swamps.

BY dinner time We had moved and
stomped and dubbed of O. the face o the

one green snake that was potter than a
pictIr, one little stumpy snake with dia-
mond spots on to 1t. one young rattlesnake
that was jest GROWN its button and one
blue racer that was crowdin' seven foot IA

along about the middle o. the AFTERNOON
We had the luck to s'prise another pilot,
and after disposin' OF II We discovered four
more by it's side that bad jest started out
in life.
They was only SIX inches long, but we
made EN- n good deal shorter in q jify.
That was nineteen, and bill said he thought
it was gettin' kind O. nnonotonous. and he
BORN hillside and lay for groundhogs.
But We didn't 60. We moved on.
1T wasn't a great while before Bill
dropped his scythe and made double-quick
time for the highest rail fence. ] looked
ahead piece, for I had an idee that Bill
had been struck with some further evidence
O what them fertile acres could do. and
little the ugliest loodn' ssrpint ever
sot my eyes onto.
1T laid close to the ground, straight out,
and ite head was hattened out as big as
my hand. The snake give gulp or two,
and heerd a noise like steam escapin',
and blamed II things didn't actually look
blue around the snakes ugly mug
Then Bill, he come r,lnnin' back with
the longest fence rail be- could find, and
goin' no higher to the snake than tho length
o the rail he patted the sarpint on the
head with II, with pat that weighed nigh
on to D half ton; and that un made an
even twenty. o..
-Rill dropped the rail, wiped the sweat
of o his brow. and pickin' up his scythe he
slung il over his shoulder and says:

cothran 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware & Leland.
 New York, November 19-Reviewing the stock market today it is evident that the bull contingent has temporarily at least regained control of the list. The tone was distinctly strong all day. The ef- forts of floor traders to depress prices for turn proved intellectual. The much advertised break upon which stocks should be bought. did not materlalize and it was suggested that perhaps it was device of the well known operator, Keene, to get a few more bears to go short Manipulation of the various groups by the interests identified with them was on the bull side of the market and 1t is ap- parent that they are arrayed on the con structive side of the account. While they may not favor bull market at this time they do favor improvement in prices of a gradual nature in a traders market wherein it is our opinion that the best re- suit will be gained by purchase on weak spots.
