HOW HE SAVED HIS LUNG,
Cured From Consumption on a Farm
in Wicklow County. Ireland.

in Wicklow County, Ireland.
A young Bostonian, reared in the
lap OF luxury, had lost a lung and
physicians informed his father that if
ne was not sent on an ocean cruise
or to the far west we would die of
consumption. Accordingly the father
put him aboard ship, with 81 400 in
cash, and started him off to Samaria,
being advised that the dry country be-
tween the River Jordan and the
mediterranean was good for consump-
yves. When he reached Queenstown
the boy made the acquaintance of
hard-headed, sensible chap, who told
hlm that Samaria was sure death:
that the only way to save his lungs
was to go to Wicklow county, near
Tinahely, and set to work on farm.
The advice was taken, and for nine
months the scion of Back Bay aris- |
tocracy did chores for a man who |
owned castle. At the end of that |
period he was as lusty as bull |
moose, with pair of lungs like |
blacksmith's bellows. The former
gave him $40 and an honorable dis
charge. He returned to Boston with
his 81 ,400 and his health He now
lives in New York, a modern Hercu
