A Visit to the British
Isles.

S. G. Button talks Interestingly OF
his recent trip across the Atlantic
ocean.
Editor 1.-THE Free Lance:"
AS nun Der of persons have asked
me to write something descriptive Of
the journey of my wife and myself
to the British Isles last summer,
hence the following:
On April %, 1908, when everything
here pointed to a good harvest, the
fruit we'll set and the trees bearing
their full coat Of summer leaves, the
grain headed out and the farmers
just beginning to cut the first crop of
hay, we took the 4 p. M. train at
HOLSTER and began our journey,
going via the Coast Line Of the
Southern Pacific to Los Angeles,
where we boarded Santa Fe train
at p. m. the following day for
Chicago This route is via The
Needles and over a desert country
covered with cacti, mesq hIte beans
aad greasewood. We passed through
Kingman and Flagstaff, Ariz and
Albuquerque, N. NJ, the latter place
being very beautiful city of about
>25 900 population, on the banks OF
the Rio Grand river. From Albu-
querque the journey is thro gh a
mountainous country, RAtop, a
station a few miles this side of
Trinidad, Colo, being the highest
point on the entire route. 1t is 1908
feet above sea level.
At 4.3O p. m. of the third day out
from Los Angeles we reached Kansas
City, Mo-, Chicago at l:2l of the
fourth day and New York City at
$50 p. m. of the same day.
After taking in few Of the sights
in New York, we took passage on the
big White Star liner "Celtic," bound
for Liverpool. This vessel is one OF
the largest of the White Star Cos
boats, being 698 feet long, IS feet
wide and 40 feet depth, made of steel,
and carries 2e,904 tons. There are
2S2 state rooms aAd GA berths. IL
accom- modates 432 fifst-class, PIP
second-class and 1900 third-class pas
sengers; has ten water-tight Cross
pulkheads and when loaded has b
draft of 32 IL feet. The vessel is
equipped with 10 wooden life boats,
5 folding boats, 2 life RATS and 27S9
life preservers. Itw was built in Bel
fast in 1901.
On board these ocean liners tn
cuisine is of the best. There ar
shree regular meals and two lunche'
daily, the former at 1880 E. m., 1870
and 800 p. M, and the lunches az
1900 and 900 p. m. The first aho

Romance Of Glasgow Bow.

Fortune, as are told, only knocks at
a mans door once in a lifetime, and
If refused admittance passes by, never
to return again. The saying is belied,
however, by the career of George Nc
Culloch, a Glasgow boy, who arrived
In Australia just 60 years ago, with
less than S25 in his pocket, and who
died the other day a millionaire. This
Is how Mr.. McCulloch threw away his
first chance of, acquiring a fortune:
One night, sitting in a tiny shanty at
the foot of the Broken Hill mine, soon
after its discovery, he played a game
of eucher with a companion, his stake
being the fourteenth share Of the
mine itself. He lost, and the share
which thus passed out Of his hands
was, six years later, worth no less than
$6,250,000.
