BUILDING HER OWN HOUSE
Massachusetts, Woman Has Started.
Unaided, Two-Story
Structure.

North Adams, Mass.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Hollis, young, muscular and handy
with tools, has started in to build, I'M
aided, a two-story frame dwelling on
plot of ground recently purchased
by her at Lorraine, suburb of the
city. She has already started the cellar
excavation, and has a good portion of
the work done. She has ordered
stone, and plans to put in a heavy
foundation wall.
Mrs. Hollis feels she will be forced
to call for assistance when it comes
to handling the heavy framing tim
bers, but aside from this she will put
up the house and finish it without
help. The Building Trade council of
the city practically controls the build
ing in the city. They will offer no
objection to the woman doing the
work. In fact, the council has Of
fered to furnish couple of men to
do any work which Mrs. Hollis is un-
able to do, but she declares emphat-
ically that she will get along very
nicely after the heavy framing is
done.
Mrs. Hollis declares she will have
but little difficulty in doing the in
side finishing, plastering and paper
ing. Several men residing near her
have offered to lend a hand in dig
ging the cellar, but she prefers doing
the work herself.

FORTUNE FOR WoRNNGMAN
Forgotten Relative in Texas Leaves
New York Laborer Over
$3,oOo,ooo.

New York.-Wonderful news came to
the little cottage near Woodlawn, L. l.,
occupied by Thomas O'Keefe and his
ter in Ireland. It told him that he is
heir to $3,S25,000 as his share of the es-
tate of an almost forgotten relative, who
settled in Texas century ago, and who
died years ago, leaving $11, 500 600.
O'Keefe, until two years ago, was a
section foreman of the Long Island
railroad. He had been so employed for
a modest competence from his wages
of $1.20 day and the earnings of his
wife, who took in washing to aid the
family eXchequer, he bought six-acre
farm, which he has been working in
rustic contentment. The O'Keefes were
celebrating the fftieth anniversary of
their wedding when the golden news
came in the letter from Ireland
Romance surrounds the O'Keefe in
heritance, but investigation by lawyers
and by Douglas Conklin, cashier of the
Bank of Huntington, establishes the
fact that the millions have very sub
stantial foundation, and that from an
income of $43S a year, the former Sec
tion boss and present owner of six
acre farm is about to step into one of
$150,000. In 1904 Dennis O'keefe, of Kill
kee, County Clare, Ireland, left his
home and shipped as sailor. He wan
dered over the world and finally set
tied in Texas, acquiring many acres OF
land, and on nearly all of it oil has been
found in immense quantities. The
oil was found years after old Dennis
O'Keefe died, and since scores of law
yers have been searching for his rela.
tives. Finally, lawyer. named Hill

to the estate, Mrs Maria O'Keefe Fen

CURE FOR BLINDNESS
VIOLET RAYS SAID TO RESTORE
SIGHT.
Interesting Experiments with Elec-
tric Current in New Form
How the Treatment
Is Applied.

New York.-A series of interesting
experiments with the violet ray as
cure for blindness has disclosed that
electricity in this weird and strangely
beautiful form has possibilities before
undreamed of. Heretofore it has been
used chiefly to destroy bacilli and
malignant, diseased tissue, but this
new experiment applied it to the op-
tic nerves of a woman who had been
pronounced incurably blind by the spe-
cialists in one of the eye and ear hos
pitals of this city. AS a result OF the
treatment the patient, Mrs. Charlotte
Walker, is able to read the headlines on
a newspaper, see the hands on watch
and pursue the ordinary vocations of
life.
The fact that the nerves responded
to the treatment proves that they were
not entirely atrophied, as supposed by
the physicians that administered treat
ment in the hospitals
Whether the sight can be entirely re-
stored will depend, according to the ex-
perimenter, DR.. S. S. Yallan, on the
patients general condition and the
cause of the trouble. If there be deep
seated organic disease, affecting the
entire system, the cure may not be per-
| to be only temporary.
The electricity may be generated by
static machine or by coil, the
static machine being used by DR.. Yal-
| Ian. Mrs. Walker sits beside it on an
| in-ulated platform. The electrode is
| sass vacuum tube with an expanded
| huib at the end and an insulated

Talking Good for the Teeth.

Somebody has advanced new the
ory to account for the rapid decay of
the teeth Of human kind. 1t is due,
this wiseacre says, to the decline OF
conversational powers. Talk exer-

beneficial to the teeth. The more t.iibh
the more bena1t. Our ancestors were
forced to talE because there were few

teeth were more shapely and ctrongcr
and they endured. Nowadays chean
entertainments Of many kinds entice
the teeth owners and cheap literature
of an engrossing character draws them
from the natural exercise that their
molars and incisors so sorely need.
