FINDS HEALTH IN A TREE TOP.

For the past three consecutive sum-
mers Orin Steinberger, resident OF
Ur5ana, in Ohio, and whose age is 40
years, an artist by profession, has re-
sided IN his tree top home where he is
now laughing at consumption. He is
entirely cured. and today said he
never felt better in his life. The
present home of SteinhergeI is perch
ed among the branches of gigantic
white oak, about sixty feet from the
ground, on the farm owned by his
fa' her. For the past twelve years
Steinberger had suffered from con-
sumption. He went to Mexico and
Arizona five years ago, and remained
there some time. He failed to I'M
prove, however, and decided to re-
turn home. 1t was then that the wild
free life of the woods appealed to
him.
Steinberger was in the last stages of
consumption, and was told that his
Q6dIu vas O1ly HuCSbiOh VI !" ~"
months He was informed that ordin-
ary camp life would do him no good.
Nevertheless, he selected large tree
in the forest and stated that he in
tended to live among the branches un-
til he was taken away dead or cured.
Steinberger ascends the tree by
means of a rope ladder. Around the
tree trunk where the first branches
appear he constructed his home. The
platform is sufficiently large to ac-
commodate twenty people. He fitted
up several rooms in this queer home.
One is used as studio, and from it a
view of the beautiful Mad River
valley for distance of twenty miles
can be had. Another is used for d
dining room, while a third is his
bedroom. He also constructed fire
place on which to cook his food,

ging out a little room where may be
fostered good deeds and kind
thoughts. AS he works he pictures to
himselt the pleasant meeting that will
be held in his CHEEKY mine under the
church. Who can say how much of
gold in character will come out of
that little room?-How much nobility
may be inspired there? Suffering
hearts may be cheered; discouraged
efforts may get new lease of life;
Hsgers may meet there, and new homes
grow out of the golden influences of
this little room under the church. 1t
offers a gold that we all may have.
Then on Sunday evening we went to
hear Mr.. Winning preach, and he had
chosen "t'riends, as the text of his
sermon. He said lot of good things
too, Nuggets from the mother lode
of human kindness. 1t was a sugges-
tive sermon for strangers IN COM
of promise. 1t made us hope that here
in Amador county one might find
some of the best friends we had ever
known. And we shall be glad to hear
from any who have something to tell
us about this life, or the life of this
community. 1t was Emerson who
said, ga friend is a person before
whom l can think aloud"
1t would please me to feel that out
in these hills there are some who
would feel that they could think aloud
to me, OF think in ink for me to read.
Mrs. Jesse Story is also new conner
in jackson. Her husband has come
here for the Western Union telegraph
company. Their home has been in
Oakland. Mrs. Story is bound to be
pleasant influence in the commu-
nifty. She can't help it. That sort of
thing is in her blood, Inherited from
mother lode of golden cheerfuIness.
She is own cousin to Robert Hunter
the philanthropist. You know that
Mr.. Hunter married Caroline Phelps
Stokes two years ago. She is said to
be worth fifty millions OF dollars in
her own name, aud one of the heirs
to another hundred and fifty millions.
Mr. and Mrs Hunter have given up the
gay society life of New YoIk's Four
Hundred, and have made modest
little home in the city slums. Here
they devote their lives aud their
money to helping the poor. 1t was
here that Mr.. Hunter wrote the new
book he has just published about the
poor in New York. 1t is considered
one of the most telling books of this
last year.
Out here among the hills where each
one has so much br breathing room, it is
hard to believe that in space of
three blocks-no longer than Jack
sons main street-in the heart of New
York IS slum district there are fifty
thousand people living. ] have known
girls there as old as fifteen years who
had never seen grass grow.

Another interesting friend whom l
have made In Jackson is Mr.. Peter
Osuma. He is guard for the Stan
dard Electrical Company up at the
Bear River camp. That is as you
probably know, one of the reserved
reservoirs of this company. Mr.. Peter
and his ''pardner, Fred Hodes stay
up there in the mountains, forty
seven miles from here, all the year
round. In the summer he has two
weeks vacation. He is now spending
that vacation in jackson. He had in.
tended to go to Portland, bat some

attraction kept him here. He did not
confess what that attraction was, but
he bIushed when | asked him, and
made a guess. Think of living away
from the sight Of girls face for
nearly twelve months in the year !
and that too where one has Spanish
blood in his veins.
Mr.. Peter comes from the good old
California Spanish stock, and he has
kept their two passions-horses and
dancing. They used to dance as soon
as they could walk, you know, and
ride horse equally early.
UP at this. Bear River camp these
boys have seen the snow eleven feet
deep for four months. They get out
every day on their snow shoes to look
after the teleph one wires, and take
the weather repol is which they send
to the main station at Electra.
The company furnishes them with
their provisions, but they shoot and
fish for their fresh meat. He says
that all they have to do is to make
hole in the ice to catch all the
mountain trout they want. This fish
ing is no sport because 1T is too easy.
1 asked him if he ever saw any ex-
citing experiences which would make
good stories to write about? He said :
"No we just live along from day to
day."
Then l did drag out of him one OF
two thrilling Observation-Disclosures
that he took quite as a matter of
course, being used as he was to that
wild life in the mountains. Mrs.
Fisher told of his saving the lives of
two children, and he looked at her in
surprise to think that she could con-
slider that anything to his credit.
'"There wasn't any body else to do
It,, he said.
"Don't you ever get lonesome?"
| asked.
every body wants to know that,
he answered, "but when a fellow has
certain work to do, the best thing for
him is to do it, and not howl about it.
| never think about being lonesome,
because it is my business to stay there
and do the work for the company"
There is philosophy for you.
If more of US spent our time doing
our work Instead of bowling so much
about it we would get along a good
deal better,
These boys read. To be sure. their
newspapers are frequently two months
old. But they have the telephone, and
that is their society. Through this
they learn what is going on down in
the world below them.
l have never met Mr.. Bragg, the
superintendent for the company, but
| am sure that he is nice chap, Mr..
Peter said:
''Mr. Bragg knows how we are fix
ed, and he often telephones us half an
hour at time, and tells us all about
the Russian war, and what's doing"
Any man who will take that pains
tor two boys up in the wilderness
must have kind heart.
These boys like to read, and if you
have any interesting books or magaz-
ines that you think they would enjoy,
1t wouldn't be bad idea to pass 'em
on. Their postofhce address is Vol
canu.
When you turn on your electric
lights in your cosey homes, just think
of those two lads, alone, away up
there on the mountain, just simply
doing their work and not bowling
about it--ready, in case of any acci
dent to the main flow, to send that
water tumbling down the mountain
for your comfort.

He was poet.
| mean the one who gave that
name, "Mother Lode. - Perhaps it
WAS not he SuIne woman may
have coined that figure. If you know
| wish that you would tell me.
There is something thrilling in the
thought that here, under the soil OF
Amador county, is the mother gold
that gave birth to this great state OF
California The mother that inspired
that great rush of humanity fIom the,
east
Since coming to jackson about a
week ago, 1 have thought great deal
about that mother lode. How much
of life it has mothered Life with its
joys and successes; life, vii b its sor-
rows and failures. How many have
come hopefully to that mother breast.
Some have gone away rejoicing, others
have dropped in despair. Some have
smiled, others have wept.
That mother lode has given birth to
thousands of romances. 1t has given
birth to tragedy, comedy and farce.
1t has not only made the history of
California, but it has made much of
this nations history As well. 1t has
built beautiful homes, fine schools,
and ships un the sea. Ii has estau-
lished great commercial inter ests. 1t
has brought works of art from abroad.
1t has gathered big Libraries. 1t has
inspired progress. Truly. the people
of Amador county have reason to feel
very proud.
And when one thinks of that great,
silent mother gold waiting down there
in the earth, one feels awed with the
wonderful possibilities of the future.
What powers lie in that mother lode
The thought makes the blood lush
in ones veins. And it is right here,
near to US Perhaps. down under this
soil of Amador county is waiting that
force which will revolutioniZe the
world Who knows? The power which
will bring that higher civilization
about which we only dream to day.
Our first experiences after reaching
Amador county we're all part of this
mother gold thought. Wasn't it fun
ny that the first man we should meet
was named Orr? He is miner too.
We met him on the new observation
car which brought us from lone.
We were strangers in this country,
but there is something about Cali
fornia which does not allow one to.
be stranger for long.
When we climbed into this new car
there was something social IN the air.
People spoke to us. Mr.. Williams the
conductor, pointed out places of in
terest for US. Mr.. Orr entertained us
with stories of Amador county. The
crude car took ON honey sort of at
mosphere. | looked at the bunting
with which the car was decorated, and
thought, How like our American
spirit" Just as soon as we lay new
egg of progress, we crow in led, white
and blue bunting. But it is that color
and that spirit that makes us all
friends.
Then after we had had one of Mr..
VOORHEES, good suppers, we went to
call on Mr., and Mrs. Iqson at the
rectory. Here we found that same
genial friendliness. We found some
thing else too,-an inspiration.
Mr.. Tuson took US out and showed
US the room he is digging with such
muscular christianity under his little
church. | thought, bless me! here is
the same mother lode. Every one in
this country is digging for gold. Mr.
Tuson is also digging for gold, but it

F0OTs0RE AND WEARY
Normal School Girls Accomplish 32
 lille Walk.

A delegation of 4I girls from the New Haven Normal school set out yesterday morning for walk to Wa. terbury. Some of them fell by he wayside but 3S had sufficient strength and endurance to hold out to the end.
 Four dropped out at the end of the first five miles and five more admitted that they had had enough when they got to Cheshire. This walk was the last of series that has been conduct ed this season by Dr Arnold. The girls believe in strenuous walking ex- ercise and have been on many long jaunts during the summer and au- tumn.
 On returning they took trolley cars for home although several of the par ty said they believed they could make the return trip on foot if necessary.
 Although there are several local girls at the institution yet none of them took part in the walk probably because they did not care to walk to their own homes. Some of those who attend the Normal school from this city are the Misses Mary Culhane, Lauretta McCdrChy, Mary HeaIey, Kathleen McDonald. Josephine Ryan, Nellie Colloty, Lillian Monahan, Mary Fitzgerald and Anna Corr.
