years old. From an early age he was engaged in various occupations, includ- ing blowing. chopping wood, keeping books, running a flatboat on the Ten nessee River, and managing mill. He obtained a good education and at the age of q went to Texas. He helped to expel the Cherokees, and for several years, beginning in 1889, did surveying for the republic of Texas in the Indian country, this being his fist official po- sition. It was dangerous service, for not a single surveying party prior to his time had escaped massacre. His mind naturally tended toward the law, and this he studied so thoroughly that within few years he was licensed to practice. In 1S46 he was made colonel of militia and probate judge In lSiI went to the Legislature, and a few years later became a district judge. In the enforcement of the laws he was brought into personal collision with gamblers and desperadOes who then ruled the frontier, but his physical courage and moral force soon won him a triumph for law and order. In 1856 he was elected to Congress. and remained there until Texas left the Union, when he became postmaster general In the Confederate government. He was cap- tured with Jefferson Davis at the close of the war and was confined in Fort Warren many months. President John son and Secretary Seward consulted him with reference to reconstruction. In 1874 he was returned to Congress, having meanwhile filled important of fees, and In 1887 went to the United States Senate. Since 1893 he has been railroad commissioner of Texas.

LOST AMONG SAvAGEs.
Man Passes Seventeen Years Among
 Australian Natives.

Australian Natives.
 In 1S46 the bark Peruvian was wrecked of the coast of Queensland. The story of the one survivor. James Murrell, as told in Marcus Clarke's Australia of the Past" is as strange as the adventures of Robinson Cru soe" For seventeen years Murrell lived among the sayages, and all but forgot his own language. his name and the memory of his native land.
 At last one day a vessel came to the shore while Murrell was absent. and the sailors gave shirts to the natives. Murrell told the natives that if ever another ship came and he was not on the spot, they should find him. An other ship did come, and the savages, remembering the wishes of their com panion, tried to attract the crew. But the Englishmen. not understanding their wild shouts, fired at them and drove them away. Murrell despaired of ever seeing home again.
 Not long after. a white man with two horses came upon some natives lamenting the death of an old man. Possibly he mistook the ceremonies for signs of hostility. At any rate, he shot the old mans son. and for this was murdered by the tribe, who be- came so suspicious of whites that Mur- rell had less chance than before of coming face to face with his country men.
 He told the natives that the white men fired at them because they did not understand the language, and said that next time he would go himself and explain. They consented. and Murrell went exploring with a native. until he came to white mans hut, many miles down the coast.
 Getting clear of the shrub. the exile saw the smoke of chimney and sheep feeding on the grass. The sight of these strange animals frightened the native, and he ran back alone.
 Murrell went into water-hole, where he washed himself as white as he could. and then, standing on the fence, where the dogs could not bite him. he hailed the hut. There were two men living there. One came out and cried, Bill, there's a yellow man standing on the rails, naked. He's not black. Bring the gun"
 Murrell cried, Don't shoot I am British object, t,"-for he had so far for gotten his language that he confused object" and subject, "a shipwreck- ed sailor
 The two men received him kindly. and heard his story. They asked him if he knew what date 1t was. He did not.
 "The twenty-fifth of January. 1863. You have been lost seventeen years"
 He tried to eat bread, but it choked him, and he had lost his relish for sugar and tea.
 His white rescuers took him to the newly made town of Bowen. where Q subscription was raised for him. Later he was baptized. married. and ap- pointed to a small place as keeper of bonded stores in the government house

CHEF GETS 4 BIG SALARY.
King Edwards Cook Receives Stipend
 Equal to that of Bank President.

King Ed dward's Cook Receives Stipend
 Equal to that of Bank President.
 The chef who perpares the food for the table of King Edward of England receives as large salary as does an admiral of a fleet or lieutenant gen. eral of the army. Every year he draws from the royal eXchequer the handsome sum of S1o,oO0. The man who at pres ent occupies the post is native of southern France and his name is Mena- ger. His age is about 40 and he is con- sidered. at least by King Edward, the most capable chef in the world.
 So great culinary artist is not ex- pected to produce three masterpieces in one day. so he has nothing to do with the kings breakfast. He arrives at Buckinham palace from his private residence near by in a hanson at about Il o'clock.
 In a large, sunny kitchen, overlook ing the lawns, he receives the lunch con carte, drawn up by Lord Farquhar, and his work begins First of all he or ders what will be required and the mas ter of the kitchen sees that all the ar ticles come in, checks each item and then sends the account to Sir Nigel Kingscote. the paymaster, who writes out a check in payment.
 After luncheon is served NJ. Menager retires once more, to reappear at o'clock, when the great event of the day-the preparation for dinner con- mences. That over, the artist is free for the evening. It is worth noting that he owes his enyiable post solely to hard work and genius, for the cook, like the poet, Is born, not made. An additional interest attaches to this culinary auto- crat because of the encouragement be gives to women cooks.
 It has always been said that women cannot attain to great heights as cooks and creators of dishes, and that just as they fail to excel in music, poetry and painting they fail also in the higher mysteries of cooking. It is very inter- esting to learn on the testimony of the kings cook that this is no longer true, however true it may have been for merly.

 Although the little boy who once played with his pony and wheelbarrow died nearly a quarter of a century ago, the clements have made little im- pression upon his playthngs. The sad dle cloth. the tasseled bits and the en- broidered straps of the Jim horse," the tiny stone spokes of the wheels supporting the pony. are all still pre- served. The blocks packed carefully in the wheelbarrow still show distinct ly their Roman numerals.
 Tn the central slab of the tomb the sculptor records that the child was named Albert Romeyn Harris, who died few months before his fifth birthday. He was the son of a Wall street broker.

ECCENTRIC PROPOSALS
OF CELEBRATED MEN:

WRITTEN FOR THE sUNDAY REPUBLIC.
That there is no accounting for the &C.
centricfties of lovers Is sufficiently proved
by the odd methodS in which many of the
worlds great men nave wooed and won
their wives.
When Schumann, the famous composer.
fell head over heels in love with Clara
Week. his masters daughter. his path Of
courtship was by no means one of roses.
for Herr Week had no wish to see his only
daughter the wife Of a penniless musician,
and he forbade the young lovers to hold
any ommunication with each other.
But love laughs at perennial frowns. and.
as Schumann could not even write to his
lady love, he poured out his soul to her in
a series of Letters to Clara printed in
a musical journal of which he was editor.
When the time was ripe for settling his
destiny he made music the vehicle Of his
passion. and actually proposed to Clara on
the piano under the nose of her father.
received her joyful assent through the same
medium.
Edison's method Of wooing was no less
eccentric. One day he strolled into one of
his workrooms and stood behind the chair
Of a pretty operator who was absorbed in
her work.
shyly up at him.. said, II knew 1t was you.
Mr.. Edison. I always know when you are
near" He answered. to her amazement:
i've been thinking a great deal about
you lately; and II you are willing to marry
me ! would like to marry you"
A-month later. the pretty employe was
promoted to a "partnership' which she has
never since regretted.
ss
spohr won his wife with equally dramatic
