FOODS. Days parents in Ireland were
"orthy people, and his ancestry shows
them to have been landholders.
But when young Marcus wanted to
come TO America there was little money
left in the family Golfers. The lad
heard longingly of the gold of Califor-
mia, the fame of which had crossed the
ocean, and he wanted to get into the
terra incognita, yet land most promis-
ing.
1t is long way from Ireland to Cali
fornia and it was longer still in those
days; for half a century makes a great
difference in methods of travel, in
either man or vessel; but the will that
provides way looked out for the Irish
boy, and young DAILY got to New York
and then out to California.
Gold may have rested in every eras
in those days, but it did not lie in the
fields. and young DAILY, who wanted tc
gather his bag of nuggets, found him
sclf digging potatoes for his board.
Then there was little money prom
isrd, money which was saved and Sc

there were greater possibilities. Any

JOUBERT AN AMERICAN,
Commander in Chief of the Boer
Army IL a Native of UniontOwn,
Pa. and n Great Fighter

Gen. p. J. Joubert is one of the few
men who ever broke a British square"
in South Africa, and he is confident that
he can do il again in event of war be-
tween England and the Trausvaal. As
commander in chief of the Beers he is
the man who may have the task of try
ing to whip the English forces in battle
Gen. Joubert is an American, having
been born in Tniontown, Pa. in Is41,
and few men have had more pictur-
esque career or know as much about the
relation of the Transvaal to the Swaizes.

People who knew him then say he WAS
eternally "pickin' away" And. of
course, he found some gold.
Mr.. DAILY has since declared tha, the
gold he actually discovered in those
days would never have made him a
rich man. But what he did discover
was difference in minerals He
learned TO know great deal about
quartz and to be an authority upon
every mineral of the local soil
He picked up the knowledge in those
days because he couldn', help it. But
one day there came chance. The
knowledge which had been picked up
turned into pure gold, and he was in
vitcd 10 join the stock company then
being formed by j. b. Haggin and Sem
ator Hearst
The company purchased the Anacon-
da mine, near Butte. Mont. and went TO
work. Al that time the Anaconda was
being worked for both gold and silver.
After a time il was deemed eNpedient
TO sink shaft, and the shaft was sunk
TO depth of 100 feet. To the amaze
ment of the owners OF the Anaconda,
the largest copper veins ever found
were tapped. and the Anaconda began
To turn out copper in quantities that
turned the heads of the owners toward
copper. DAILY. who operated the mine,
was called THE Copper King"
But with the sudden advent of so
much riches did not come high-heaied-
ness. As he had freely received. he
freely gave. The money Ind come un-
eNpectedly and he gave unreservedly.
The mines were opvned to labor at good
wages. very good indeed they seemed
to easterners; and between 1855 and
1898 MIR. DAILY spent $40, ,O0o, 600 in wages
and for operating the works and smelt-
crs.
His own profits in that time were. of
course, enormous. but not fabulous. 1t
is declared upon indisputable authority
that Marcus DAILY has never allowed
himself TO realize more than a fair
share of profit from his mines. He has
treated them ns business proposition,
paying back into the work the money
as il came out in a way that would
have delighted the heart of Henry
George.
So great man must needs drift
statesmanward. and Mr.. DAILY has
been identified very pleasantly with
politics. II is said that he has long
been anxious to have the capital of
Montana moved from Helena to Ana

ambitions, but II such is the case he
preserves very calm dsmeanor under
his longing,

day, this first typewriter consists of a
closed wooden box with blocks of wood
half an inch square for its letter keys.
The paper carriage of the first type
writer is also of wood, and instead of
the operator turning the paper carriage
by mere touch on an extension rod
when one line was finished on the first
typewriter the operator had to use both
hands to turn the paper carriage,
However, much as the first type
writer differs from its grandchildren,
close examination shows that il ha. all
the essentials of typewriters as we
know them to-day. The inventor of the
typewriter WAS II. r. P. Allen. of Farm
dale, KY, who secured his patent in
1876. This is the machine which may
be looked upon as the parent of the
a.oo0,ooo or more typewriters in use in
the United States to-day.

NOTES ABOUT MANKIND.
Where Men Are Taller or Heavier
Than OtI,crs-TraveIs of
the Blood.

The average weight of man in the
latitude of New York is 40 pounds, of
a woman 1875.
The average height of Americans has
been about five feet seven inches for
men, five feet four for women. The
average has nquestionably been low
cred by immigration of small races,
like the Italian.
In Kentucky and Vermont andi in
Minnesota, where most immigrants are
Scandinavians, the average height of
man is an inch Or so greater.
Lunatics are smaller than sane peo-
pie, and are seldom fat On the other
hand, centenarians are also generally
small-boned and lean.
The blood completes it's circuit
through the body in % seconds, and
in three minutes every drop passes
through the heart and lungs and is re-
vitalized.
Figure this out. A drop Of blood
will travel 61320 miles a year. In "a
years blood corpuscle would travel
$3.50, sos miles.
For that matter, a reasonably active
man walks about 100000 miles-more
than ten times the earth's circum
ference-in "a years, just trotting
about his house and office.

is three pounds eight ounces; of a wom-

the savants of Paris that there is no
royal road to learning. He has BEEN
awarded a diploma of the Ecole du
Louvre for a successful thesis on the
book of Daniel. It fell to M. Ledrain,
professor of the Ecole du Louvre, and
NJ. Oppert, member of the institute, to
examine the thesis, and they and 9TH

the thesis that an effort will be made

AN OLD TREASURY NOTE.
Issued in 1915 to Pay Arrears of War
Debt OF 1912 Turns Up in
New York.

A certain $40 treasury note of the
series of 1915, which was lately for
warded to the treasury department by
the Fourth national bank some time
ago, is to be paid. The note was re-
ceived at the bank about a month ago
from the First National Bank of West
field, Mass. How it came into the pos
session of that institution is not known
here, says the New York Sun.
The note was taken to the sub
treasury and returned, as the officials
there had no way Of proving its genu-
lneness, nor any available funds to cash
it. On December 10 the note was sent
to Washington, where after various in
spections, references and conferences
it has been identified with others of the
same issue. The issue was authorized
on February "a, 1915, to pay arrearages
in the expenses Of the war of 1872 1t
was for $25 900 600 originally. and the
act allowed the reinsurance Of notes or
their conversion into bonds. Of this
! amount $8,362.394 was actually issued,
and $7,1S2,740 reissued. The notes were
redeemable in nine years or convert
IDLE into government bonds When the
notes themselves were for amounts
greater than 500 they bore interest,
but for less amounts were payable to
bearer and did not draw interest until
converted. Nearly all the issue was
soon retired, and the last note received
at the treasury prior to the one now
in hand was presented in 1912
The redemption of the note will be
chargeable TO the public debt matured
prior to 1861. The note is held to be
good for its face value. because no date
of maturity is mentioned on it, Some
Of the notes Of the same issue have been
declared worthless. it is said. because
they were not properly stamped and
signed.

SHOES FOR TIE BOY.
The Boys Father Now Spared the
Trouble of Remembering What
Size He Wears

"The boy" said the youngsters
father, according to the New York Sun,
goes through a pair of shoes in two
weeks; they will stand resoling once;
so have occasion to communicate with
the store where | buy his shoes twice
month; II times a year to buy new
shoes, and IL times to carry a pair to be
repaired.
"My memory is not the best ever was.
and l couldn't always remember what
size shoes the boy wore; so I'd have to
ask his mother when | went to order a
pair, but now | don't have any more
trouble of that sort. I've had my name
put down on the list that is kept by the
salesman in charge Of the department
of boys shoes where | 90.
at has the names Of hundreds of boys
on his list, with the name and address
of the parents, and nobody ever has to
bother to remember the size shoes worn
by any of those boys-they're all down
on the list. The boys foot is fitted right
to start with, and the size is put down
with his name, and there's nothing
more to do about that until his foot has
grown so that it needs to be reftted.
All that's necessary to do in ordinary
shoes for any of them is to say send a
pair of shoes for William, or John. or
James, or Charles. as the case NAV be,
not even specifying the kind unless
shoes different from those ordinarily
worn are wanted; and the same guide
serves also in the purchase of overshoes
and other footwear"
