in THIRTY YEARS.
Young Man Tilted BY Girl Has
Since AbStained From
Conversation.

Middletown, Pa, Dec. 1.-For thirty
years Benjamin lands, VINO lives with
his mother in q modest little home
two miles outside of this town, has
not conversed with friends or re-
latives because, 1t Is said, he was
Tilted by a girl whom he loved devot-
eddy when youth.
More than thirty years ago Ben
Landis wooed Miss Fannie Gingerich,
who was then belle of the countryside
and who married Harry Snavely lands
was about eighteen years old. Appar-
emily Tilted, he tried to forget that
there had lived such girl as Fannie
Gingerich, and he went West. hoping
his affection might be lost in mining
camp or on a prairie ranch. For sever
al years he lived near Kansas City,
but finally he came East and return
ed to his mother near Middletown.
Loves flame Lad not died out. but
he was far different Ben Lands
from the one who went away q few
years before. Relatives declared that
"he became queer while in the West"
but neighbors and friends say sit was
the girl"
Withal. lands confessed that the
untoward elimination of his love af-
fair had disheartened him. 1t was at
this time in his life that he took the
vow never again to hold conversation
with any one throughout the length
of his life.
And he has lived up to this self-im-
posed 'no-talk-for-life" sentence I'M
flinchingly for thirty years. Now and
then he mumbles short sentence
but his mother, Mrs. Catherine Lam
dis with whom he has lived since he
swore Off talking says he never
speaks to her.
lands is picturesque IN dress and
features. He wears his hair a foot
long and binds II under his coat. He
never shaves, and his beard extends
half way to his belt. 1t is thirty years
since the hair or beard has been cut.
His only recreation is skating, and
he is a prominent figure on Swatara
creek almost any winter day.
To-day the woman whom lands
wooed is a widow. Her husband was
killed on a railroad sixteen years ago.
She lives with her parents near tine
Lends home. but Ben never speaks 10
her.
