years of age. When ho was a lad of six

member of the family. Shocked ot this
perversion of upopcli ho mado a Holomn
vow nover to speak another word during
his natural life. Thus oolf-doomed to
dumbness ho lived among his talking
feilows for fifty yours. During that time
hid but two slips of tho tonguo. Meet
ing with nn accident which bruised his
fingers, ho ejaculated "Oh I" At another
time ho saw a tmako crawling over a
sleeping child, and said "Soo I" Theeo
two uonls won tho oxtentof ins uttered
vocabulary for fifty years. And so he
kept his oath that he would not speak,
and consequently nut swear nt nlL His
many devices to avoid couvonwtlon,
undor tho impulso to sttcak, with tho
power bohind it, mado him n bundle of
eccentricities. Yet, with them all, ho

friouds and acquaintance Hiuman left
a small fortune of $2 1,000 to a nephow,
with tho admonition; "Keep your mouth

tho meadow ditches. Thoro aro usually two
cuttings of gnus taken from tlio meadow,
one in Juno anil July, tho other iu Hop
