ALL ROSE FROM THE RANKS.

Leaders in California Pioneer Days
Started as Poor Men.
Every leader rose from the ranks
OF the so-called Big Four who built
the first railway over the Rockies,
Huntington and Hopkins had sold pick
axes, Croker red shirts and Stanford
flour and tobacco. John W. Mackay,
one of the greatest of civilization
builders in both east and west, was a
plaster. His three partners, Fair,
Flood and O'Brien, were shirt sleeve
pioneers. d. o. Mills, owner Of sky
scrapers, steel mills and hotels, paid
rent for a shanty.
James r. Keene, master Of Wall
street game, was a San Francisco pro-
letarian. Sharon, Hearst, Tevis and
Haggin, rich afterward as Roman en-
perors, were at first as poor as any of
a livery stable. Lux and Baron, the
ranch kings, were butcher boys. Sen
ator Perkins was a sailor. Irving NJ
Scott, builder of the Oregon, had been
a helper in a Baltimore foundry
Adolph Sutro, the Astor Of San Fran
cisco, had been highly educated in Ger
many, but when California knew him
first he was a peddler.
Some of these men, Of course, STUN
bled into treasure holes, others became
gold kings by sheer brain power and
perseverance. 1t was half a lottery
and half a race There are few of the
famous mines that have no glamour
of romance and adventure about their
history. How John Selkirk sold the
richest mine for $50 to James G. Fair !;
how even that astute miner believed it
to be worthless and resold it to Lane
and Alvinza Hayward for $4,000, and
how these two men, led on by a belief
in Spiritualism, CROPPED in the rejected
mine until they found 100000.
Such is the story of the Utica. And
there are many such stories waiting for
the greater writer who shall some day
come and immortalize them in an Odys-

Dress Suit a Patchwork.

The clawhammer or evening coat has
many oddities of cut. These oddities
were once essentials. There was, In
fact, a time when every idiosyncrasy
of the clawhammer served some use
full purpose.
The cutaway front of the coat, for
instance, was originally cut away so
that the wearer, when on horseback,
would not be incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were
for fastening up the tails out Of harms
was, each tail having In the past a
buttonhole at its end.
The sleeves, with their false cuffs,
are relics of the days when sleeves
woe always turned back, and there
fore were always made with cuffs that
unbuttOned.
The collar, with its wide notches,
is a survival of the old collar that was
notched in order that it's wearer could
turn it up conveniently in cold or
stormy weather.
The dress coat, in a word, is a patch
work of relics, relics once essential,
but now of no use on earth.-Philadel-

HOME OF FAMOUS SAILORS.

Plymouth, England, Gave Many PiO-
neers to the New World.
Plymouth, Eng, is the home of many
of the great pioneers of the new world.
In the golden days Of Queen Eliza
beth. as we'll as the following century,
writes William e. Curtis, Plymouth
was the headquarters and school of
British seamanship. Here some of the
greatest Of British sailors were born,
and it was the meeting place for those
bold and adventurous spirits who
sought gold and glory in the unknown
seas. Martin Frobisher was born in
Plymouth and sailed from here in 1916
TO explore for the first time the North
Atlantic coast of America, and the re
ports of his expedition gave the great
est impulse to English seamen to fol
low the example of the great Spanish
Adventures. Sir John Hawkins, Sir
Richard Hawkins. Sir Humphrey Gill
bert and other famous sailors were
natives. Sir Francis Drake was born
near TavistOck, but was brought up
here. and was once the mayor Of the
town. He built the water works, by

VITALITY THE MAIN THING.
He Who Has 1t Pulls Through, the
Other Patient Dies.

He Who Has 1t Pulls Through, the
other Patient Dies.
Two men undergo operations Of the
same character in a hospital. The same
surgeon does the work. The conditions
are identical. Equal care is exercised
in each operation and each is success
fully performed. Yet one man RECEIVERS,
the other dies. Or there is a tremen-
dous business pressure which does not
let up for months. 1t puts the men
under a terrible strain. One man goes
to pieces and his business is wrecked.
He can not keep the pace; he loses con-
troll of himself His rival has no bet
ter brains than he-perhaps not so
goOd-yet he pulls through successfully.
We say that there is a difference in
vitality, that one man has more Of it
than the other.
once saw a man in a hospital who
was suffering from five fatal diseases
and yet he would not die He had kept
on living year after year in spite of
everything. He refused to succumb.
We find the same thing illustrated ev-
cry day. In a shipwreck there are men
who seem to give up their lives with
out 3 struggle, without any power to
resist; others cling to an open raft for
days without food, almost frozen, con-
stantly whipped by the waves, but for
some reason or other they survive. The
vitality In them is strong.
Notice how rapidly and surely one
man RECEIVERS himself after a nervous
breakdown, while another drags along
through years of semi-invalidism. No
tice the results upon two men Of long
cold drench of rain. One Of them comes
down with pneumonia, the other suf-
fers no i'll effects. How is it to be ex-
planned?
He has a reserve somewhere-an in
ner power of resistance; an aggressive
something that will not be downed-we
call 1t vitality. A man can't have a
more valuable asset than that. 1t
means joy instead Of dumps, success
instead Of failure, joy, perhaps, instead
of death.-World's Work.
