Peregrine Blotter. died a few weeks
ago in "a howell in the outskirts of a
small town near the boundary line be-
tween Wisconsin and Illinois. which
he had occupied alone for many years,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Blotter. ostensibly made his liv-
ing by raising vegetables and saving
wood, but he was extremely penurious,
and the clothes he wore were little
better than rags.
No effects of any value were found
in his hut, and he was buried by the
county.
But neighbor who had suspected
for long time that the old man was
a nliser and that he had concealed his
wealth somewhere about the premises,
resolved to make systematic search.
One dark night he took l:t..lterli, Nh
ak and spade and vent over to the
miserable hoyel.
Inside of five minutes lie found
loose brick in the wretched fireplace
that had served the late occupant both
for cooking and heating purposes. He
pried it up. A foot Or more below the
surface he discovered a rusty tin box.
He lifted it out, and with feverish
haste opened it..
1t contained a bottle of must ang lini-
ment, a package of smoking tobacco
and certificate of membership in the
German Baptist church.
