ERECTS NINE-ROoM STRUCTURE
 IN KANSAS CITY UNAIDED.
Plans Also of Her Own Making-Hred Four-Dollar-a-Day Carpenter, But Found That He Botched
 Things.

Kansas City, Mo.-Miss Lillie M. Johnson has completed and moved into a nine-room house at No. 2S4S North Eighth street, and she says with pride: T built it all myself, except little bit of botched work done by a four-dollar-a-day carpenter"
 Miss Johnson began work on her house in the fall following the flood in the Kaw valley in 1906. She was a Salvation Army worker in Armourdale at the time of the food She lost everything except seven dollars. She went to a real estate firm and arrang- ed to buy on payments the 100 feet of ground on which her house stands. The first payment was $20, but she was allowed to take the ground on the promise that she would pay the amount in 30 days. She kept her promise
 After the ground was secured she started canvassing for a medicated soap firm and soon made enough to fence the ground. The cold weather forced her to seek indoor work Then she began wrapping candles in a fac tory.
 In May, 1904, Miss Johnson built a two-room box-house, doing all the work herself and getting the lumber on easy payments. After moving into her new home she received two wom- en as boarders. She was able, by the first of July to buy COW. She sold the milk, and with her earnings bought an incubator.
 Then she reared 50 chickens, hop ing to make payment on the ground. She penned up the springs" to fatten them, but, thief stole them. Then Miss Johnson found herself facing a payment without the necessary money. However, her resources were not ex- hausted. She began taking in wash ing. Through these various means she paid for the lot
 But Miss Johnson was not satisfied She must enlarge her house. She graded her lot with a spade and wheelbarrow, laid the foundation, put up the frames, roofed, boxed and weather-boarded the addition. But she was forced to hire car penter to make her window frames. She has finished the entire interior of the house, laying the floors, lathing, clustering and papering the walls. The plans of the house were made by

COLLECTS BUTTONS 40 YEARS.
Aged Man Who Has Gathered 8o,o0o
 Specimens Dies.

Reading Cal.-John c. Hepler, super intendent of Charles Evans cemetery, died here, aged 7S years. While well known and highly respected citizen, his chief claim to fame rested on the fact that he was one of the best known button collectors in the world. Hep. ler's collection numbers S0,000 but tons, and there are no duplicates. He began this peculiar fad over 40 years ago.
 The collection starts with the cheap, humble shirt button, next the trousers button and so on to the expensive but tons on womens dresses, and finally, through long list, to the military but tons of all the nations of the world
 MT. Hepler knew the history of many of the gems in his collection Some were secured through friends visiting or living abroad, and among his collection are buttons once worn by royalty.
 The S0,000 buttons are all classified and systematically arranged. In de. sign or color they are all different, and MT. Hepler loved to tell how the diff ferent ones he prized came into his possession.

Grieq as a Schoolhov

Grieg was not pattern schooboy In description of his days at school he wrote: Knowing that by arriving late I would not be allowed to enter the class until the end of the first lesson, I used, on wet mornings, to stand under dripping roof, until was soaked to the skin. The master then sent me home to change my clothes, but the distance being long this was equivalent to giving me a dispensa. tion! You may guess that I played this prank pretty often, but when at last l carried it so far as to come one day wet through, though it had hardly rained at all, they became suspicious, and kept lookout One fine day was caught, and made ar intimate ac.

Liuuor She Floated In

On their arrival in New Zealand, according to London Tit-Bits, party of English people drank the health of the vessel which had brought them safely to their destination. One of the gentlemen who was asked to join in this ceremony replied No, I am {: teetotaller; but I'll willingly drink sue cess to the ship in the liquor she floats in" A friend disappeared and returned with a glass of water. After a omplimentary apostrophe to the ship, the recipient tossed the water off at once, but immediately splut' tered: "Ugh-ah-oh-this is-oh- what on earth is this?" "That?" said his friend. "Why, you've drunk success to our noble ship in the identical liquor she floats in."

 His Opponent.

Hackensack, N. J.-Brotherly love and the Golden Rule are the principal blanks in the platforms of both par ties in Cliffside, where the contest for mayor is being waged with a politeness that has assumed Chester fieldian proportions.
 Maj. S. Wood McClave, the Repub- lican candidate, and Warren E. Sam mis, his Democratic opponent, are as we'll known in New York as they are in Bergen county MT. McClave, a son of the late Police Commissioner McClave, has an extensive lumber business. With his ten children, two of them famous football players at Princeton, he occupies fine old man sion at Edgewater Heights, N. J. Mir Sammis is a lawyer, with fine old home across the road from his op' ponent. He is still nine behind MT. McClave in the family line.
 Lawyer Sammis appeared at a smoker the other evening wearing a McClave button. Lumberman Mo Clave at the present moment has a Sammis smile slowed away on his coat lapel.

 In her living room Miss Johnson has a bay window fitted up as a conserva- tory. In this she has many beautiful plants.
 The grounds about the house are well kept. A large grape arbor, fruit trees and flower beds with the blue grass lawn make the place attractive.
 How did I learn to do carpenter work? Why, just found could do it, when I built my little two-room box house, and I determined to try my hand on something better" Miss Johnson said.
 q had only three tools when I started out-a hammer, hatchet and saw. As I made more money l was able to buy more tools, till now I have complete set.
 q hope to finish painting the house this fall, and when I get the porch columns in place in the spring the ranch will be finished. And I'll bet no passer-by would know that woman built it."

MOTT-SMITH GETS
ON THE LID TODAY

Il feel that I am leaving the affairs
Of the Territory in safe hands" said
Governor Frear yesterday afternoon
indicating Secretary Mott-Smith by
wave of his hand as he spoke
The Secretary will climb on the lid
this morning, as soon as the Alameda
reaches the three mile limit with the
Governor aboard, en- route to Washing
ton. The Governor was busy yester-
day preparing for his trip, securing
the fag ends of the information and
data he will use in presenting Hawaii's
claims TO the authorities at the Capt.
tai.
He will spend three days in Cali
fornia, going from that state to the
Trans Mississippi Congress, and thence
to Washington. At the Trans Missis-
sippi Congress he will urge the passing
taking up of the work of opening Pearl
Harbor and building navy station
and drydock there. He will also, as
the representative of the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, introduce a
resolution endorsing the action of the
Executive in sending the battleship
fleet to the Pacific, and urge that Ha-
wall at least be included in the places
to be visited by Admiral Evans and the
aae+ ,,pSar bis command
1t is by no means a certainty that
the battleship fleet will come as far
west as Hawaii and the action of the
Trans Mississippi Congress in asking
for it, if the resolution pass, will be
one big factor in bringing the fleet
here.
Up until last night Governor Frear
was not certain as to whether any OF
the staff of the local office would ac-
company him to Washington or not,
but it is most probable that he will
make the trip alone.
