signs than by speech this strange being
signifed that it was hungry.
Food was offered him, which he
grasped ravenously, but instead of eat
ing it at the door Of the kitchen, he
thrust 1t into an old coarse bag, and,
turning without another word, he trotted
of into the forest and was lost to sight

When he again appeared. attempts
were made to question him and to learn
something Of his mode of living, as we'll
as his identity.
The question appeared to be unintelli-
gible to the creature, with the excep-
tion OF one, which asked where he came
from.
In reply to this he muttered "Michi-
gan" or word that was taken for the
name of that state. Securing his morsei
of food, he again trottea away to the
woods.
Further efforts to elicit information
have been even more signal failures than

Living alone In lair located In q tract
or dense woods not far from Cincinnati
is mysterious creature, human In form.
but with all the attributes OF the animal
strongly apparent.
Seldom seen, except In the early dawn,
or at dusk In the evening, no one has
been able to give a good description of
the mystery, and those who attempt to
DO so unconsciousiy fall into the use of
words descriptive OF beasts Of the for

The locality chosen by the strange
creature is tract Of dense woods situat-
Cd about IL miles from Cincinnati In
kenton county, KY, and along the line
Of the c., N. & T. railway.
Through the trees In these woods &C.
casional glimpses of freight have been
discovered at night by the few people
who live In that vicinity.
Investigation In the daylight failed to
locate any habitation, even so much as
hut of boughs or of sods.
For time the source of the freight
was mystery which the simple re-

CLEANS In the forest
There appeared at dawn one day to
the startled servants OF the little hotel
at the springs strange and weird-ap-
peartng creature.
1t was without doubt man, of whom
description fails to give a true concep-
ton.
He was hatless, with q thick name Of
tawny hair matted into an almost solid
mass. the lower part OF his face concealed
by heavy beard as unkept and tangled
as his hair, the upper part Of his face an
indescribable color from the effects of
smoke and dirt
His british appearance was augmented
by the color of an old chinchilIa ulster.

AT night pat the flowers into some

added few drops Of sulphate of am

To effect this, pack them in light

paper. Then lay the flowers, not on top
OF each other, but In rows, side by side,

Pack closely. otherwise the flowers
will be displaced and injured In the

stand In water for several hours in or

heavily after they are in the box, for
without air this is likely to produce mil
