LIVES WELL ON $40 A YEAR.


wisconsin Man Has Done IL Tor 40
Years-Seems Content.
Near Mirror Lake, in Wisconsin, is q
log cabin in which man has lived fOr
forty years on $40 a year. George
Swimmer is his name and he seems per-
fectly contented, writes a correspond
ent of the st. Louis Republic.
The old man is Il 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 vegeta-
there grows a thick cluster Of black
berry bushes and in the garden 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 day 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 Skinner 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 extraordinary con
trivance.
At the stern of his boat he has a
paddle like that of river steamer.
This is turned by means of chain
running on cogs and attached to a
crank that the old man turns with one
this strange craft, nicknamed 1.-THE
flying machine" by the people of Del
ton, Skinner does his angling.
Skinner lives during the winter as
we'll as he does in summer From the
oyerabundance of one season he saves
enough to meet the necessities of the
other. He catches on an average 100
fish a day, mostly small ones. Ten Of
these suffice for his two simple meals
The other ninety are carefully
cleaned and stored away in great bar
rels 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 a sin to kill any creature,
even fish, except for food.
From his garden he cans his vegeta-
bles and berries. Everything that he
needs is supplied from natures pork
barrel"
The SO which he spends annually
goes for tobacco, fsh-hooks and cloth
ing.

Mr.. Arson is in no sense politician,
yet his candidacy was met with bound
less enthusiasm during the entire cam
paign. AS the Chicago Journal re-
Gently expressed it: "Anson is a root
er's candidate. He happens to be on
the democratic ticket, but that is a
slight matter. He is running as An
son. The idea that the captain needs
an issue and platform to watt him
into office is rank heresy. Judge
Dunno and the municipal ownership
platform are lucky to be in the band
wagon"
Mr.. 1. G. speers, of the National
Printing Company. who recently Wis
tied the city, made practically the
same Statement, In conversing with
friends about Anson's candidacy, as
his personal view Of the situation. Mr.
Speers said that he believed that il
Judge Dunno would be elected. he
might owe his election to Arson be-
ing on the same ticket.
