HIS INTEREST IN MECHANICS.
One Of the first indications that Tom
ever gave of his mechanical ability
was in connection with a mischievous
prank at the kindergarten a few years
ago. 1t was discovered that the water
had been turned on in the dressing
room and the faucet taken apart. The
matron called up the little blind boys
and questioned them about it, but one
and all denied knowing anything about
it. Finally she thought of Tom. lie
cheerfully confessed that he was the
author of the act and produced the
missing pieces of the faucet from
among his playthings.
The matron endeavored to impress
him with the sense of having done
wrong, and told him that he ought to
do all he could to repair the mischief
he had done. He responded TO this
appeal with prompt alacrity, and to
her surprise replaced the pieces in
their proper relative positions with the
CELEBRITY and dizziness of skilled work
man.

lives a new building is being erected

Lewiston Journal
AS a delineator of the traditional
Yankee character, Matthias Currier
Kimbal, more widely known as
Yankee Glunn, long stood without a
rival. Kimball has now practically
retired from the stage, and at ripe
age has settled down to prosaic life
in the little village of Kingman, Me.
Away back in the early forties,
when he was mere lad, a little Incl
dent with Junius Brutus Booth, the
elder, started him in his career. Kim
ball was only II years oldia the time,
and was at work as an usher in the
Lowell Museum Booth, who was then
in the zenith of his power and fame,
was billed there for three nights. The
play was Richard III. Kimball had
thoroughly studied the play and was
considered young man of promising
dramatic ability. On the opening
night the actor who took the part of
Lord Norfolk failed to show up.
Booth was in despair. At last some
one suggested that young Kimball
knew the lines Of that part, and he
was cast for it by Booth.
OF the event, the old Snowman says:
when | went on the stage | was bad
ly ratified. Booth was imperious and

next turn Of affairs. Suddenly | real-

NV nerve returned, and I think it
must have been the devil that prompt
ed me to balance myself on one foot
and drawl out with Yankee twang:
"'Wen, l don't know, Mr.. Booth. 1t
may work
Instantly the whole house was in
an uproar. AS shout after shout OF
laughter went up the black cloud on
Booths brow relaxed, and wheeling on
his heel he left the stage, shaking his
sides with merriment. After the play
was over he came to me, and placing
his hand on my shoulder, said in
fatherly tones: Young man, you
never played tragedy before, did you?
Without waiting for reply he contin-
ued: Take my advice and never at
tempt it again. You are natural
comedian. Take a Yankee character
and become identified with it and fame
and fortune will be yours, and | fol-
lowed his advice"

A STORY ABOUT NELSON.


A pretty little romance gives Mel

III Canada. During his service at Que
bee in 1882, when he was but twenty
four years of age, he became infatu-
ated with beautiful Canadian girl,
Mary Simpson, daughter Of a great
Canadian merchant of the period. At
the time of Nelson's visit she was but
sixteen years old, marvelously beauti-
full and witty. On October IA, 1882,
Lord Nelson's ship, the Albermarle,
Was ready No sail. and he had a very
sad and tender parting with Mary
Simpson, and went down the ST. Law
renee to board the man-of-War. The
next morning arrived, and the Alber-
marie did not heave anchor, and Cap
tain Nelson was seen coming back to
Ouehec in a boat. a friend of Mel
sons, a man prominent in Quebec at
the time. espied him and asked him
what had happened Nelson IS quoted

impossible to leave this place without

lowed the course of its construction
with the keenest interest and enjoy
ment. AS soon as lessons are over he
wants to go at once to the new house,
and ne knows as we'll as any one of
the workmen just what sort of ma
terlals have been used and how they
have been put together.
His highest ambition at present,
however, is to travel. This desire was
inspired by the tales that were told
him by two Of the teachers from the
kindergarten who took trip to the
Pacific coast last summer. He mani
tested the greatest interest in the
places they had visited and wanted to
know about all the things that they
had seen that differed from his own
experience and surroundings. Among
other things, they told him that they
had travelled 5000 miles since he had
seen them last
