BACK TO MOBILE
 AFTER TEN YEARS
YOUNG MAN WHO RAN AWAY FROM HOME TALKS OF THE TRIALS OF A RECKLESS GLOBE TROTTER.

Henry Bletehen. who left his home in Mobile nearly 10 years ago in quest of a fortune. spent the day in Birmingham yesterday en route to his old home on the gulf Bletohen is now % years of age, leaving home when he was 1e. He las had many experiences since then and after breaking the very thick shell of modesty which envelopes him, talked very interestingly of them.
 He has followed all manner Of voca- tions during these 10 years. but praoti- ea1ly all of 1t has been outdoor work. His first trip was directly to The Klon- dyke, He is on his way home now from Ecuador, probably ons of the hot test countries on earth.
 Starting from Mobile, very much against the protest of his parents, and with but little more than a hundred dollars, he struck out for the Alaskan wilds with vivid dreams of. vast supply of golden nuggets awaiting him there. "I landed there all right" he said. And the frost was waiting for me- I only had about 80 dollars when I reached the coldest and meanest place on earth-Dogtown. It only took me a few short hours to realize that I had acted like several thousand other foolish men: that I had gone all that dis tance and found there was no room for me. To make matters worse l got into a scrap with three toughs, which wound up with me having a bloody face and an empty pocket.
 'I was taken in by a kind hearted old fellow who nursed me for two or three days until I was able to get up and then told me to get out of Alaska and get back to Gods country again. I did, but I hate to think of the time I had getting back without any money. Getting back to Frisco I enlisted in the cavalry and went to the Philippines, and after my three years there took a notion to fol- low the sea. I wanted to do the thing right. so signed with a sailboat, a tramp schooner, which played about in the Pa- cifo and Indian ocean, This was all right for a year as we had good captain, but be sold his boat and the buyer was one of those mean fellows like you read dbouI III ldlEy StOt1eS. lie WaS very cruel and the crew almost mutined, finally de- serting him in New Zealand
 After that I beat all about, doing all sorts of things, managing to make my way almost around the world. For the last two years have been in Ecuador working on railroad and bridge work. dislike to think of the temperature there very nearly as much as the Alaskan climate. With all of my travels, how ever, I had never visited New York; in fact, had never been east of Alabama in the United States. In order to make my trip around the world complete I, there fore, decided to come by the American metropolis, and must say it beats them all
 Birmingham looks like bustling place. but you sure have lots of soot floating around. Look at that collar Haven't had it on an hour. And why did you want to let the town go dry?"
 Bletchen's 10 years of outdoor adven- ture has bronzed him well. He is the model of perfect health, and says he doesn't know what medicine is.

No, sir he said, we have de- cided to let 1t remain as long as possi- ble as a relic, and all who want walking canes and pieces of the first house can get them now, for 1t is soon to go.'

I often have them from Tus- cumbia Winston and those upper coun- ties. The wagoners bring produce and skins of all kinds for market.
