Winston Churchill is a native Of Mis-
souri,, born in st. Louis Nov 10, 1871.
He was bright student at the pre-
paratory schools, and he obtained the
appointment to the United States Naval
academy without much effort. It did
not take him long to discover that he
had no taste for a naval life, but he
remained at Annapolis until he had
completed the course. After gradua-
ton he resigned Immediately and took
position on the Army and Navy Jour-
nal. with which he remained four or
five months. Going to Irvington-on-
the-Hudson on a pilgrimage to Sunny
side and Sleep Hollow, he CHANGED to
meet the editor Of a monthly magazine
published in that village and asked
him for position. He obtained it, and
after a few months was made nanag-
ing editor. Finding the labor too ex-
acting and uncongenial, he accepted a
position just across the river, at Nyack,
as superintendent of a traprock crush
ing works. He lived at Nyack several
months, working assiduously at the
manuscript of his first novel, 1.-THE
Celebrity" which was published soon
afterward. Richard Carver followed
in quick succession, and that brought
him immediate fame and fortune. In
time he purchased and developed the
beautiful estate of Harlakenden House.

most of the business was Office work.
At the beginning of the present fiscal

153 of them were professional foresters.
Field work is going on in twenty-seven

About fifteen years ago the forest

which empowered the executive to set

forest reserves. 1t is probable that at
