FIND Wreck OF
CLARA NEVADA

SEATTLE. Wash, March IA
special cable to the Times from Ju-
neau. Alaska, says James Currie,
keeper of the lighthouse at Aldrich
rock. brings news of the finding of
the wreck of the Clara Nevada,
which was lost in 1897, with sixty
five passengers on board. The pur-
ser was the only one ever found. The
exact location of the Nevada's hull
has been a mystery these eleven
years. until the terrific winds of the
last few days exposed the remains of
the craft to view. Many human bones
have been picked up on the beach in
this vicinity.
The Nevada is believed to have
had large amount of gold dust on
board, as several Klondikers were on
the way out with their first clean
ups. Parties here are preparing to
sc arch for her treasure.

in the matter of freight charges.
In almost every mining section of
the West revival of interest is be-
ing felt in mining operations, and
especially is this the case in the ac-
quiring and development of proper
ties of good prospective value. Money
for this purpose is being freely fur
nished by home talent, but the bulk
of it is coming from the East, the
investor beginning to realize that
money expended in good mining
properties or securities is safer than
if put into railroad or other indus
trial investments
AS a matter of fact, so favorable
is the East inclined to attractive min
ing opportunities in the mining West
that the West will soon forget that
1t has ever been touched or scathed
by the wave of unrest and lack of
confidence that has held the coun-
try in it's grasp during the past six
months. Viewed from every stand
point, the outlook for the mining in
dustry continues to improve day by

HARD TO FIND THE OWNERS
Honest Pickpocket Worried Over In
ability to Restore the Prop
erty He Had Lifted"

''Billie' Holt, proprietor of the
Grand hotel, has many accomplish
ments, not the least of which is the
gentle art of picking pockets and
cleaning diamond studs from shirt
fronts.
Some persons call him Light
Fingered Billie" because of his
ability to get away with the goods.
At the time of the recent Demo-
cratic gathering at the Grand hotel,
when crowds in the lobby were more
interested in the outcome of the
Craftsmanship fight than in their
own welfare, Holt reaped a fine har-
vest Of watches, stickpins, and other
articles of personal adornment.
At one time he had eight gold
watches, with chains and fobs at
tached, in his trousers pocket. These
he exhibited with pride as a testi-
monial of his proves. But a sad
sequel came when the honest picker
of pockets sought to return the APP
propriated jewelry. Two watches
bore no Identification marks, and
Billie" had forgotten from whom
he had lifted them.
1t took the good natured host two
hours to find the rightful owners of
the stolen timepieces.-Indianapol

WELL-DRESSED QUEEN.

Queen Victoria Eugenie is cred
tied with the ambition of being
considered the best-dressed queen in
Europe. Thoroughly English as
she is in taste, she, of course, wears
only the most severe and serviceable
costumes Of golf, yachting and all
sorts Of outdoor sports; but in the
evening and at great public func-
tons her toilettes are splendid and
her jewels the admiration of every
one. Since her marriage her figure
has greatly improved and she is very
particular as to the cut of her
dresses.

was and that his father was William Walker, but was at his shop in town, busy with some work.
 Well, I can wait till he comes home for dinner." said the man, coming in through the gate. And while I'm walt ing I'd like to speak with your mother"
 Willie called to his mother, who came upon the porch. And as soon as her eyes fell on the stranger she cried out In happy voice: Why. if 1t isn't my dear brother Jim!" And in another minute she was in the big mans arms and crying for very joy over the meeting which was so unexpected
 And then Uncle Jim took Willie in his arms and really kissed his frowzy red head, declaring that he was q fine boy and worthy of his relationship. But that day, after dinner, Willie heard his pa- rents in earnest conversation with his Uncle Jim and heard bis uncle say: "Of course 1t can be done as slick as a rib bon and no harm done. And I've got the money to pay for it, too" And 1t turned out that 1t was Willies crossed eye of which they were speaking, and on the following day they took him to the doc tors office, and after being there a little while, Willie came away with two straight eyes. But of course, he couldn't use his eye that had been operated on for some days and had to have 1t closely bandaged. But when the bandage was at last removed by the doctor Willie was the happiest boy in town, for now he

BY HELENA DAVIS.

Little Lottie had a playhouse in the shade of a fine tall walnut tree, whose branches offered a home to many, many birds. And as little Lottie and her young companions played beneath the walnut tree the birds sang to them, and little Lottie declared they made music on purpose to cheer and entertain her company.
 Just hear that dear little singerl" little Lottie cried one day as she and Annabelle and Daisy were having play tea in the playhouse. Isn't he-or may be it's a ady-bird-grand? Oh, that song is sung for us-I feel quite sure of it. And if you'll look up into the branches just over our table you'll see the singer"
 Annabelle and Daisy stopped slipping play tea from empty cups to look up Lottie, and, sure enough, there on a tiny bough, just over their heads, sat the dearest little bird they had ever seen, and the way it was swelling its throat in song was marvellous to see.
 "Oh, the dear, sweet little singer" declared Annabelle, smiling her admira- tion at the pretty feathered songster. And see what a strange marking 1t has on its breast! There-right in the very center of its gray vest is white spot. l never saw such a spot on bird be- fore Did you, Lottie?"
 ''No. and I don't know what kind Of bird 1t is," replied Lottie. 'See, there are others fitting about in the tree Just like that one, only none of them have white spots in their vests. Maybe that's a birthmark."
 "Ah, now it's flown awayl" exclaimed Daisy. T do believe it heard us talking

floors, and 10 minutes after Katie had been taken from the fire escape, still holding tightly to her baby sister, the entire front of the building was one mass of seething flames.
 little later Katie, still white and trembling, was the center of an admir- ing group. of strangers. And even as they applauded and praised her for her brave act in saving her baby sister she remembered her little brother. Please let me pass across the street." she begged, flor my brother Sammy Is there waiting for me. I mustn't leave him too long,
 Bless that child-that dear little mo- therly sister!' exclaimed a stout old gen. tleman who had stopped near to the burning building to ascertain the amount of harm done. But In his interest in Katie, whose bravery and love had so impressed him, he forgot the building and the financial loss. And after Katie had found Sammy-the little fellow mad obeyed her-the old gentleman called her to him and began to question her regard ing herself and her parents.
 And what Katie told him was so straightforward, so innocent of trying to arouse his sympathy, that he stayed about the place till the agonized MT and Mrs. Doniyan came hurrying to the scene. Some of the neighbors had tele- phoned to the factory, breaking the news to them of their loss, for loss 1t was in deed, every particle of furniture, cloth ing and food gone up In flames. Anl they too poor to replenish at once.
 After the first expression of woe had spent itself, however. the portly old gen. tleman approached Mir. and Mrs. Doni- van and entered into conversation with them. "You might have lost more than your worldly goods, my friends, had it not been for this bravest little girl in the world. At the risk of her own life she rescued the baby sister. And to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-23

anyone had scarcely caught a glimpse of her. ''There goes a child into the house!" went up the shout from a dozen onlookers. Then the policemen ran to call her out. And half dozen fremen hurried into the burning building to force Katie out again. But she had gained the door, and before those in pursuit of her could cross the threshold she had gone up the first flight of stairs. Then she was bounding up the other flight, holding her apron over her mouth and eyes to shut out the terrible smoke.
 Then. almost miraculously, she was on her own landing, and In another minute had found her precious baby sister where it had really been overlooked by the hremen and was starting down again. But the smoke drove her back into her own rooms, and she found exit by way of the stairs cut off.
 But Katie was little woman in mind. Her lot had always been such a poor one that, like all children of the poor, she was wise for her tender years. Hav- ing known so much responsibility in her life, she did not shudder, nor cry out at the danger which now confronted her. She stood but a moment, with the precious baby wailing lustily in her arms. Then, running to the fire escape, she stepped out through an open window upon it. As she did so a cry of horror and fear sprang from a hundred threats in the street below "A child-a little girl, holding baby!'' At the sight sev- eral women fainted and strong men lost control of their voices and began con demninG the careless firemen who claimed to have rescued every living soul from the building.
 Hastily ladders were placed, and fire men--two of them-ascended to the res- cue of Katie and the baby. And not a minute too soon were they, for already the smoke and flames were shooting out through the closed windows of the lower

of the birds, perched as they were on the limbs of the tall walnut tree But when she looked through the branches for the nest that had been discovered the day be- fore by Annabelle she was sadly disap- pointed to find 1t missing. But there sitting proudly on the twig-singing as beautifully as ever, was the little gray fellow, the white spot in his vest being the mark of Identification by which little Lottle knew him.
 My dear singer, where are the little ones, their mother and the nest?" little Lottie asked the birdie. But, of course, the singer made no answer. But even as little Lottie watched him, wondering how he could be singing when his mate and their little babies were gone, he flew from the tree, circled about over the heavy limb which had fallen on the play house spot and perched himself just above a very thick-leaved nook in the branches. Little Lottie turned her attention to his actions. wondering If the nest of birdles had been blown down to that place. Then, as the singer flew quite away, going off toward a meadow in the distance, she crept up to the fallen limb and began to search in its thick branches. An, what was that? Surely. something very pecu- liar in appearance. Why, 1t was her lit tie cookie basket that she had forgotten to take into the house on the previous

Uncle Jim de- clared 1t would grow darker as Willie grew older and that if he lived long enough 1t would turn as white as snow. And to all this Willie laughed heartily, for now he was so happy. No more would the boys laugh at him and ask if he saw all things bias. And, to cap the climax, good. jolly Uncle Jim bought the finest pony for Willie you ever saw and saddle and bride to go with 1t, or on 1t, should say
 Then you should have seen the way all those ugly, tormenting boys did try to get Into Willie's good graces, for they coveted ride on the pony. Beside, the report had been circulated about town that Uncle Jim was a very rich man (which was true) and that he meant to give his nephew all sorts of schooling and travel (which was true, also).
 And to do Willie justiee-for he was not bad boy at heart-he did not re- sent the way the boys had treated him in the past; but he never quite trusted any of them save Syd and Tom. But he treated even his former tormentors with kindness and made them feel quite ashamed of themselves. And to this day they regret having made fun of the kind. est and most generous boy in the world. Willie Walker

evening before the storm. And in it was a nest-a nest holding three little birdies, and all were as snug as could be- for by the manner in which the leaves of the fallen limb covered the basket of birds they had been protected from the storm after being tossed from the tree.
 "Oh, how lucky for you that l forgot that basket'' cried little Lottie; and how nicely you fell Into it-nest and all. But where can your mamma be, wonderg'
 Just then a whir of wings, and little Lottie looked up to see the mother bird, worm in mouth, circling above the spot where her little ones were resting after so strange and awful an experience of the night before. Little Lottie withdrew to n safe distance and hid behind a clump of shrubbery. watching the mother bird. And just as the loving mamma bird had fed the worm to her hungry birdies along came papa bird, wearing his white-spotted

 And Willie. being but child, had not learned to turn a deaf ear to his tor mentors. In fact, he was very much hurt by the epithets hurled at him and was quite unhappy by being the object of ridicule
 But in the town where Willie lived were two brothers-Syd and Tom Jack son-who felt the kindest sympathy for the carpenters little cross-eyed son and who braved the jeers of the other boys to play with him. To be sure, Willie was not entirely ostracized by his fellows but was so often made the butt of their rldicule and coarse, painful personalities that he felt he had no genuine friends save Syd and Tom Jackson. And often he refused to go on picnic-where he had been Invited by Syd and Tom, knowing that some of the boys would surely spoil his day by poking fun at his red hair and crooked eye.
 One day Willie was lying on the grass under a tree, watching the clouds float ing overhead and wishing that both his eyes were straight like other boys eyes, when he heard a mans voice call from the gate:
 'Is this the home of William Walker, carpenter?'
 Willie quickly rose and replied that 1t

And she could see by the lightning's light that one great limb of the walnut tree had been torn from its parent stem and was lying stretched out over the very spot where her playhouse had been.

BRAVE KATIE DONIVAN.
BY MAUD WALKER

Katie Donivan, 10 years old. was the child of very poor parents. The Donivans lived on the top floor of tumble-down old tenement-house in a great city. Every morning MT. and Mrs. Donivan went to a factory to work, and did not return till long after o'clock in the even ing. Katie, being their eldest child, was left in charge of the house and her five year-old brother and -month-old baby sister.
 And so 1t was that while most of the other children in the tenement-house had time for play-though 1t was necessarily in the hot and dirty street-Katie Doni- the three poor living rooms to keep tidy, food to prepare for the little ones and herself, and the baby to mind when 1t Was cross. and to watch when 1t slept.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-23

So you children who never have to work cannot realize what dull and work-worn life poor Katie Donivan lived.
 But Katie was not complaining girl at all; in fact she was always in very hopeful frame of mind, doing her work with a will and doing it the very best she knew how to. And her love for the lit tie brother and delicate baby sister pre- vented the care of them from becoming a hardship
 One sultry afternoon while the baby slept Katie made hurried trip to the market, few blocks away. She led her little brother with her to give him the pleasure of going and to prevent his making any noise to wake the baby dur. ing her absence And as the two hurried down the burning pavement Katie count ed over her change--12 cents-and named
