I was making a highway map of Wisconsin one slimmer when I ran across a village with a j new town hall. "There was some trouble with the I T ^f/\r?nn/l iti n nfl lio n/lln/1 pUililt'l ULLU 1 lii unu uuuuiV/U "a widow becognized me." I a bnisli for fifteen days at $2 a day. I had tramped on for about thirty miles when a farmer who had had an old watcli stolen from his vest hanging on a tree in a field had me arrested as the thief. I was rushed to the nearest village, asked a few questions by a justice of the peace and sent to the county jail for ninety days. In jail I was searched and the $C0 found on me. This was grounds for 'suspicion,' and I was immediately haled before another justice, who tacked sixty days on to the original sentence and beld my cash to await a claimant I took a week to think things over and then got word to a village lawyer, and when we had consulted together the fun began. "Our first move was to begin a suit for damages against the farmer who had charged me with theft, and we had him badly scared within twenty-four hours. Then we went for the constable for arresting me without a warrant. We followed this with charges against the justice, who had refused me counsel, and move No. 4 was against the sheriff for not supplying his prisoners with provisions demanded by law. One of the turnkeys of the jail had slammed me around because I had refused to saw wood, and we gave him a suit for assault and battery. A writ of habeas corpus took me out of jail, and the ex citement in that county beat all the circuses for twenty years. If the lawyer hadn't been taken with typhoid fever and died, we might have eventually upset the whole state government, and I would have been sure of a place in a dime museum for life. But his death called a halt. After the funeral I was waited upon by a committee, and the result was that I took a night train out of town and never stopped for 200 miles. I took with me $250 in cash and the best wishes of a thriving community, and I suppose those suits have been dropped from the docket ere this. As I said, I am no kicker, but it's well to let people know that even a tramp has rights in law." "And did you use your money to make a new start in life?" was asked as the story seemed to be ended. "In a way I did," smiled the C. O. D. man, "but it only brought me fresh trouble. I struck a town I rather fancied, and I bought mo some clothes, en paged a front room at tlie inn and settled down to take a few baths at the mineral springs for my rheumatism. I hadn't put in over three days when the story got around that I was a multimillionaire taking a quiet lay off. and I individuals and committees began to I call. The subscriptions I was asked to put down for churches, mill dams, railroads, schoolhouses, asylums and so on footed up tens of thousands. I could have stocl these off, but the band came [ to serenade me every night, social parties were given in my honor, and a widow with a good deal of push to her recognized me as her long looked for affinity at first sight. She was a firm believer in the theory that matches are made in heaven, and she figured it out to a dot that the angels had killed off her husband and brought me around through the swamps and underbrush that I might take bis place. I never was any good at arguing against a widow, and so I solved the matter by taking a skip. It was a mysterious disappearance on my part, and I heard afterward that they dragged the river and hunted through the swamps for my body and that the widow put on rubber boots and was foremost in the j search. '"I had a few dollars of the money left, and I was not happy. Raw turnips don't taste good to a man who is financially able to buy roast beef and fried chicken, and it didn't seem to be quile the fair tiling by other dilapidated gentlemen. While in this state of mind I struck a village which had I six inudholcs on its half mile of main street. Tin re were wagons stuck in three of these holes as I jogged into town, and the others were occupied by stray hogs. I asked for the president of the village, who was a grocer, and when I reached his store I asked: ' 'How long have you lived in this town?' *' 'Forty-five years,' he replied. | STOPS PAIN ] m Ever since the first appearance of mv 1 j Si menses they were very irregular and I g en suffered with great pain in my hips, S H back, stomach and legs, with terrible fi !

" 'Well, I used to paddle around in 'em forty years ago.' " 'And hasn't the town ever made any move to fill 'cm up?'. " 'It never has. No, them six mudholes have grown up with us and shared our joys and our sorrows, and I , suppose they will continue on for another half century.' " 'But they must be a big nuisance,' says I. " 'They surely are.' " 'How much would it cost to fill them up with gravel?' " 'Just exactly $14. I've figured it out a thousand times.' " 'And won't the town vote the money?' " 'Never in this world.' " 'Would it object to my doing it?' ' " 'I don't think so; but what's your object?' " Must to get rid of them. Here's the money, and I'm going to hang around and see the work done.' "Well, it was done," said the 0. O. D. man, "but I got into trouble over it. When those holes had been filled up there was no longer any place for the stray liogs to wallow in, and that made all the hog owners mad. There was no longer any excitement over teams getting stuck, and that hurt the feelings of others. A hird party couldn't understand why a tramp should take it upon himself to do such a piece of work, and it was finally decided that I was either a lunatic or a suspicious character. They run me i-nto the eapine house, and two doctors and a committee of citizens took me in hand. The doctors probed for evidences of lunacy, and when they had finished they differed in their reports. One of them reported: 44 4He talks as sane as any man I ever heard, and it may simply be a case of hereditary aversion to mudholes.' I * ? 4 l-\ a /\4 V\ > it O C* JL iic icpun ui ilie uuiu vtc.o. " 'I don't like his talk. He uses more cr less Latin, and when asked what lunatic asylum he escaped from a cunning: expression came to his eyes. He may not be dangerous, but it would be as well to keep an eye on him.' "The committee of townsmen fired questions at me for three straight hours." said the dilapidated, "and it ended by their solemnly shaking their j heads and declaring that a tramp who | had $14 to pay for filling up six mud- j holes in a strange town must he plan- i ning the murder of at least a dozen I citizens. I was shoved into the lookup j over night, and next morning a constable 1?k1 me forth by the arm and saw me a mile or so on my way toward the next town. As wo walked up the street I saw that all the gravel had been thrown out of those mudholes during the night and that the glad hogs had returned to their wallows. There are some things in this world you can't beat, and one of 'em is a pastoral village with hogs and mudholes picturesquely scattered about." M. QUAD. A Real Friend.
