He has just sent off $700 of the amount, to his father, an Italian farmer and waits breathlessly to see whether his father can not borrow the other $100 and buy him the privilege to join the aged man who waits for him. The story is recounted by a Fort Dodge physician who happened to travel 5to Des Moines the other day in company with the young fellow who was so ftill of his anxiety and impatience now that the long years of saving are almost over, that he could repress his story no longer and poured it into the listening ears of the physician.

Dismayed at what he had done he^ran away and came to this country as a stowaway. He has worked hard since and saved his earnings to buy his freedom. He lived most frugally and gained the so briqeut of "Misfit"' because of being so stingy. VALUE OF DOG'S EYE. Ex-Attorney General Remley Sues For Damages of $423. Special to Times-Republican.!-'1.'
