MAN LIVES ON slo A YEAR.

Near Mirron Lake. Sauk county,
Wis, is a log cabin in which a man
has lived for forty years on $40 a
year. George Skinner is his name
and he seems perfectly contented.
The old man is Civil War veteran.
When he was discharged at the end
of the war he had money enough to
purchase an acre of ground on the
shores of picturesque Mirror Lake.
In this acre of ground he planted
vegetables and fruit trees. Close to
. the house there grows thick cluster
of blackberry bushes and in the gar
den behind it there are long rows of
strawberries. Over the fence that
separates the yard from the road are
wild roses. Here the veteran makes
his home.
How does he live?
Each dav he takes his fishing rod
and goes down to Mirror Lake. That
is his pork barrel. The fish that he
draws out of those waters supply his
dinner, likewise his breakfast.
The vegetables and meal made from
corn grown in his garden complete
his diet. For his lake fishing Skin
ner has built himself boat which is
as unique as himself. In order that
he may fish and propel his boat at the
same time he has invented an extra.
ordinary contrivance.
AT the stern of his boat he has a
paddle like that of a river steamer.
This is turned by means of a chain
running on cogs and attached to a
crank that the old man turns with
one hand as he trolls with the other.
From this strange craft, nicknamed
'the flying machine" by the people
of Delton, Skinner does his angling.
Skinner lives during the winter as
we'll as he does in summer. From
the over abundance of one season he
saves enough to meet the necessities
of the other. During the summer
DAYS he fishes continuously. He
catches on an average 100 fish day,
mostly small ones. Ten of these
suffice for his two simple meals.
The other ninety are carefully clean
ed and stored away in great barrels
Of brine kept in the cellar of his cabin.
When he has enough barrels of fish
stored away to last him through the
winter, he stops fishing, as he thinks
it is sin to kill any creature, even
fish. except for food.
From his garden he cans his vege-
tables and berries. Everything that
he needs is supplied from nature:
"pork barrel" J"
The $40 which he spends annually
goes for tobacco, fish hooks and
| clothing.

Grants famous trotter, Butcher
Boy, came into his possession in a
curious way. While driving in a
light buggy Grant tried to pass a
butchers wagon driven by a boy.
The boy whipped up the hose. and
in sharp brush beat the best trotter
the President then owned, though
Grant was driving in very light
vehicle. The President noticed where
the horse went, and afterward bought
him for 5000. The old warrior visit
ed his stables every day, aud it was
during his administration that the
present White House stable was
built. He kept some very fine car
riage teams. In his last years he
lent one of these pairs to Ward, the
man who, in connection with Fish,
caused his fnaucial ruin. It is said
that Ward took the team to another
city and sold it without the General s
knowledge or consent.
Though Arthur was man OF nne
tastes and kept a large stable, his
Judgment of horses must have been
poor, for they sold for an average of
$12s each when he left the White
House. The one black mare, said to
be the fastest trotter in the District
of Columbia, brought $500.
Cleveland kept one nice turnout,
and went driving every afternoon.
Harrison was a great lover of car
riage riding, but did not pay any
particular attention to the quality OF
his horses.
Mckinley was exceptionally fond
of the Arabian horse, and paid high
price for an Arabian pair for carriage
use. President Roosevelt's devotion to
the horse is we'll known. His favor
ite is the hunter type, for he espe-
cially loves long gallops across coun-
try. Roosevelt also keeps a nice
stable of trotting- bred carriage horses,
