Steve Rozinski an employee in the
south Centralia Pulp s. Paper
Company and who resides about two
miles from the mill in. the town of
Seneca was interested in the fact and
wanted to know how many steps be
was required to take to reach his
work from his home every night and
morning. For this purpose he
counted the number of steps be took
from his house to the mill and found
that it was 4555 steps, on his return
from work he made a like number or
a grand total of s11O. If Mr.. Rozinski
was to count the number of steps
that he took during the day in the
discharge of his work and add them
to the number that he takes going TO
and from his work. he would fnd
that he travelled a considerable dis
tance during the day.

THEN UNKNOWN TO FAME

Some fifteen years ago, those who
were in Washington at that time will
recall, there was quite an interesting
debate in progress on the Mckinley
tariff bill. Ofcourse little attention
was paid to many of the speeches,
but when a man below the medium
height, with pompadour hair. and
pleasant voice arose somewhere on
the Republican side and began to
"ldmbast" John G.. Carlisle, the
leader of the minority, he attracted
attention. Carlisle had been speaker
six years and was the idol of his
party, and here was an unknown"
making an attack upon him and his
principles. "Who is he?" was
question that passed around the press
gallery, tor veryifew newspaper men
had troubled themselves sabout max
ing the acquaintance of unimportant
men. Then some Northwestern cor
respondent said:
"That's La Toilette, Of Wisconsin.
He's a member of the Committee on
Ways and Means"
swell, he has his nerve with him to
attack Carlisle. He'll get chewed
up" was the comment by some of the
old-timerS.
But he was not "chewed up'' and
held his own in all the debates that
followed. He exhibited nerve" then
and has continued to do so ever since.
And now he is going to bring that
"nerye" into the United States
Senate.

Though there are hundreds Of wells

scattered all over England, the general
public is ignorant Of their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be possible ex-
ception In the well Of ST. Keyne, in
Cornwall. for Soiithey has made it fa-

the maidens Of that locality have ac-.
credited 1t with marvellous powers in
forecasting their futures. They have

It 10 necessary to decorate the BRAN
bles which shade 1t with bits of white

Then there are the so called holy
wells which have many medicinal yir-
tues. Such one Is ST. Winifred's, at
Holywell, which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend Of it's origin is a very pretty
one. 1t is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred, the winsome daugh-
ter Of Welsh chief. was wooed by
Prince Caradoc, a prince of i'll repute.
She declined his persistent advances,
and at last he killed her in fit of
rage. From the spot on which st.
Winifred's lifeblood fell there gushed
forth a stream OF crystal water which
has worked miracles in her name for
90 many centuries.
FRA tically all the ills to which the
lash is heir can be cured by one or an,
other Of these wells. st. Ninan's, in
Cornwall. is said to restore lunatics to
sanity, but the patient must be i'm
mersed in the water and held there un-.
til the breath has nearly left his body.
This seems a heroic measure. But even
this Is not so severe as the treatment
which must be endured If mailman is
to be cured ut Llandegla well, in
Wales, for after the victim is nearly.
drowned he is trussed like a fowl and
laid under the communion table of the
neighboring church for the night.
