rlldget Runs a Farm.

Major Charles CAN'T, of Fairfield,
Iowa, Is about to retire from his pro-
fesslon and take to the Seclusion of q
farm where he may rest from his
laborS.
He has bought the farm and is now
looking for full-sized partner. Major
Gantz farming represents life of
some peril unless he can secure the
al OF a Slx-foot man to help him run
things.
Otherwise a gander might pick the
major up and run off with him and
there would be no one near to rescue
him. 1t requires no effort of the i'm
agination to see the major being haul
ed around the farm by a refractory COW
which did not wish to leave the pas
ture.
Alone it is possible that the major
could not inspire the chickens with a
sense of his dignity sufficient to war
rant their leaving the onion beds

major wants partner.
Major Gantz is 38 years old. He
weighs thirty pounds and is eighteen
inches high.
lie retireS from the museum profess
ion and will become farmer as soon
as he can add six feet and 25O pounds
to the partnership. Seven and half
feet and ESQ pounds will be sufficient
for agriculture, he thinks.
He asserts that even now he can
transact business on equal terms
with any 3O0.pound man"
The advantages and disadvantages
of the majors condition in life have
been considered carefully by him and
he aflirms that he would rather be as
small as he is than be "too big.p. He
would rather attract attention on ac-
count of his smallneSS than on account
of his bignesS.
In crowd he is afraid of getting
lost or being tramped ON, but, on the
other hand, the women take to him
naturally. He gets lost in the shufia.
occasionally, but he is able to Secrete
himself easily. When he was school
boy he could lose himself In his desk
when the teacher was looking for the
perpetrator of some mischief,
He is much travelled man. Being
on exhibition he was able to see con-
siderable Of the world and it has made
him sufficient money to enable him to
retire now.
People do things to him occasional.
ly, not knowing that he is on earth at
all. Not long ago he sat in a railroad
coach, his feet not touching the floor
and his head not within two feet OF
the top of the back.
While he sat there unconscious of
his impending fate the back of the
seat was slowly turned over on him,
threatening to pin him down. elet

ed man and woman out of their
breath,
They had taken the seat beside him
and, thinking the seat In front OF
them was unoccupied, had started to
turn 1t over to give themselves more
room. Their surprise almost robbed
them Of their wits, but the other pass
engers came to the rescue of the i'm.
prisoned little man.
