Lyveden was n clergyman's son. As
Percy Vernon he enlisted In the artil-
lery, but bought himself out and Joined
Mr.. Bancroft's Haymarket company In
London for a time. Twenty years ago
he came to this city with $40 cash
capital and became Bowery waiter.
Presently he turned up in Charlotte,
N. c., without money. Like a young
fool" he says, according to NJ A. T.,
"I went to the best hotel and stayed

turned out, but as | was leaving the
door n clerk pressed fifty cents into my
hand, saying. 4 guess you'll want n
bed tonight, old man lodged over
a stable and In the morning got work
driving carriage. Eventually the
hotel-keeper became my partner and
best friend"
In 1890 Mr.. Vernon returned to Eng
land, married and started In the nur-
sery business, originating tomato.
but the enterprise failed and he sailed
as third steward on an Irish sea boat,
as assistant steward on the unlucky
City Of Paris. and as bedroom stew
ard on the steamship Nile, sailing to

In Buenos Ayres he contracted vel
low fever, and on his recovery he be-
came saloon steward I'm the Isle OF

with this company, then Joined the
Polytechnic steam yacht Ceylon as
chief steward. Afterward, employing
his own name. he became caterer on

SALT IN POULTRY FOOD.

Many people labor under the mis-
taken impression that no salt should
ever be put into poultry food, simply
because highly salted food, such as salt
fish or old picked meat. always kills
chickens As matter OF fact no liv-
ing thing can get alOny entirely with
out salt, says Prairie Farmer Chick
ems can always get salt In summer by
eating grass, which absorbs certain
amount from the soil. But In winter
1t is different. During cold weather ali
prepared chicken foods. such as mushes
and boiled vegetable mashes, should be
salted In about the same proportion as
for human food. III this Is done. the
poultry will be both healthier and more
productive.
