Alaska. Andrew F. Burke, along in the carly 'eos was governor of North Dakota Both were on Randalls Island two years 1S57 to 1S59-charges of the city. Both were shipped to the west in 1859, to be giV- en to farmers who wanted husky boys to work their lands. Both not only gained an education and wealth, but became men of influence, and each occupied govern or's chair.
 "There's not much to tell about those days on Randalps Island" Governor Bra dy said Andy Burke and 1 were friends there I was simply a little mick picked . LID off the streets They didn't put me in the criminal home-although the reason, guess. is that they didn't catch me in all the things I did around the end of Broad way. Just those little things that Kids do, you know were what we were up to. Andy and I got some schooling there-got some tannings too. Got everything we had coming. l guess. We weren't bad boys, though.
 ent read us a letter from little Martin Terrell one of the islands boys who had been sent to Delphi, Ind. Martin told about the apples, the chickens, the green corn and the horses he had to ride and drive.
 q got to thinking about all of those things I was a strong boy, and strong bows have strong stomachs. Don't know whether Andy Burke heard that letter or not, but it made me decide to go to that land where all the good things grew Ana when the train started west Andy was on it, too He went to farmer at Nobles- ville Ind I went to one at Iipton. "rhen the hard days came I went to work deadening trees-swnging an axe If was swamp land, and the work was hard. But that land, cleared now, is the garden spot of Indiana. Andy Burke had to work hard on the farm where he was sent.
 .When the war broke out Burke joined the army as drummer boy and served throughout the war. He saved the money he earned, and at it's close went to As bury college. Then he left the school and got in business He eventually drifted to North Dakota. I don't know all the his tory of his battles there. He grew to be known. he gained friends and influence, and the whole country knows when he was chosen governor.
 And me?' continued Governor Brady. Well I remained on the farm in Indiana until 1867. Then I became genuine Hoo sier schoolmaster. It seems Imaginable now when I look back to the days when at tempted teaching school. My first job was near Sharpesville. I taught that school then got better ones.
 "I had studied during my idle hours on the farm and had gone to school when I could I grew interested in mining and went to Alaska. With my own hands hewed out cabin I worked with a pick until my hands were cracked and bruised. lived there 2S years, and finally struck it. Then I was appointed Alaskais gov ernor.
 Its no use to tell all I've gone through. I've worked hard in my days l have seen Andy Burke several times since we were shipped west from Randalrs Island. It's a satisfaction to know, however, that two street waifs with not a thing in the

Handsomest Woman In the World

From the New York American "She Is the handsomest woman in the world" said Herr Drektor Conried as he came down the gangplank of the French liner La Savoie, yesterday, arm III arm with Mime. Lima Cavalieri. who comes to this country to sing Fedora"
 Mime. Cavalieri is one of the many fa- nous operatic stars who will appear at the Metropolitan opera house this sea- son.
 When the huge liner came into port, Herr Conreid, who was standing on the dock, waved his hand to Mme Cavalieri, who was sitting on a camp chair on the promenade deck.
 She was attired in a dark blue gown over which she wore a magnificent seal skin robe. The singers dark eyes sparkled and she blushed as she walked down the gangplank with Herr Conried.
 She speaks no English and when inter- viewers gathered around her, she said through her brother, who accompanied her:
 "I am very glad to be in America and with American people,
 Herr Conried drove Mime. Cavalieri to her hotel in cab.

Gentle, modest. refined, sensitive he was, but he was also brave as Caesar. In morals, as in art his standards were the highest, and he lived fully up to these.

 Henry Northcote,' by John Collis
 Snaith. Published by Herbert B. Tur-
 ner & Co.
 The scene of Henry Northcote' is laid in London and is sensational piece of fiction dealing with the life of young barrlster who has explained only disap- pointments coupled with financial em- barrassments until finally the tide turns, and stroke of good fortune places in his hands an important lawsuit in which he is to defend a young woman of the charge of murder. The originality and dramatic conception of the manner of his defense and it's extraordinary success is full of human interest and is wonderfully interesting: however, a criticism must be made of the authors unfortunate cheap enng of his story, which is caused by the sensational events which follow this phe- nomenal success. That the heroine should have been so overcome by grat- itude as to necessitate her murder in or der to be rid of her unweIcome presence is cheap melodrama that must be blot on what would otherwise be commenda- ble work.
