LIVED IN THREE CENTURIES.
Augustus Bevins Born in Louisiana,
Subject of Ma ,
coleon.

Ardmore, Okla, Jan. 12.-Augustus
Blevins, known to Oklahoma people
as Goose" Bleyins. who is said to
have been born in the eighteenth CEN
tury, died last week at his home in
Connerville, Johnson county, east of
here. Blevins was born in Louisiana
territory, a subject of Napoleon. From
historical facts, which he had person
al knowledge of, he must have been
born previous to 1900. He engaged in
many of the early conflicts with the
Cherokees and in their wars as we'll
as the Civil war, in which he served
in the Confederate army. At his fun
eral was his third wife, an old gray
haired woman; his daughter, aged 80,
and descendants of many generations.

SAW ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA,
Proprietors of American Zoos Write
the ex-Presdent for Speci-
mems.

Washington, Jan. pa govern
ment official just returned from Mai
robi where he met Colonel Roosevelt
is A. B. Baker, assistant director of
the National Geological Park who as
sembled fine collection of animals.
Mr.. Baker said today:
"The day | got to Nairobi | saw
Colonel Roosevelt driving by in a car
riage wearing a well worn khaki suit
and wide brimmed felt hat. He had
some in from the wilds for rest.
Kermit Roosevelt told me his father
wanted me to take tea with him. I
found that the colonel carried less
weight than when he left Washington
skin was about the color of saddle
leather.
Colonel Roosevelt said that he be.
lieved he had discovered while Presi-
dent every type of folly the American
people were capable of, but he had
discovered a new one since he had
been in Africa. The proprietor of
every small zoo in America, he said,
had written asking him to send a
specimen, anything would do, from a
field mouse to tiger.
"The richest letter he had the col
onel added came from a society of
hunters in New York. The members
wanted to give dinner upon his re-
turn, the secretary had written, and
would he please pickle, preserve or
otherwise keep in condition, piece
Of meat from every sort of animal he
had killed, so they could have them
all for the dinner?
1t looks as if they want me to
give them a dinner instead of letting
them give me one,' was Colonel Roose-
velt's concluding remark.
while in Nairobi I saw three wag-
on loads of skins and skeletons col
lected by the Roosevelt party going
to the warehouse"

WILL DEMAND
MORE WAGES
Coal Miners Preparing to
Reopen Question
of Pay
WILL INCLUDE RAILROAD LABOR
Stand is Taken That the In
creased Cost of Living Makes
Action Necessary.

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 12-Coal miners
throughout the United States are pre-
pairing to reopen the question of
wages after January 90 and demand
for an increase of pay is expected. 1t
may cause a marked increase in the
present prices of coal. The stand
taken by the miners is that they need
higher wages because of the increas-
ed cost Of living and comes as part of
the general movement of organized
labor begun by the switchmen and
railroad brotherhoods. Movement has
already spread to include practically
all branches of railroad labor.
No Strike of Railroad Employees.
New York, Jan. apparently
there will be no strike of the en-
ployes of eastern railroads at least
this is indicated by the announce
ment today that railroad officials have
agreed to meet representative of
their trainmen next week for a dis
oussion of their demands.
Conference Begins.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 12.-The
strike of the switchmen employed by
the western railroads, operating out of
Chicago, will probably depend on the
conference begun today between
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission, and DR.. Neill,
of labor, actinug as med
iators, and representative of the rail-
roads and their employees. The
smitchmen demand a horizontal in
crease of wages and some changes in
conditions and hours of labor.

DAUGHTER OF CHAS. w. WILL
MEROTH PRINCIPAL IN A
PRETTY ROMANCE WHICH BE-
GAN IN RAILROAD SHOPS.

According to Chicago dispatches,
Miss Marion Wilmeroth, the pretty
daughter of Charles W. Wilmeroth,
who is well known here, having spent
most of last season in this city but
now living at Medford, Ore, is the
heroine of a romance in that city
She is said to be worth a great deal
of money in her own right. Last
year she went through the big shops
of the Illinois Central railway at
Burnsides, ILL.,, and saw at one of the
FORCES a man-just an ordinary
workman, declared her society
friends who accompanied her, but
Miss Wilmeroth paused in admira-
ton of the athletic figure-and
passed on.
The young workman was William
Boisserain, Jr., son of a wealthy
Dutch banker of Amsterdam, over
here to learn railroading. He had
started at the bottom and was then
working living and associating with
the men of the railroad shops. But
he saw her that day when she stop
ped at his forge, and he couldn't for
get.
Some time later, after he had been
promoted to the Office force, young
Boisserain met Miss Wilmeroth again,
this time at the fashionable home of
a friend on Lake Shore drive. Their
recognition was mutual-and now
the engagement has been announced.
They will be married in October.
The family of Mr.. Wilmeroth came

ed and looked at Hans sharply.


Help yourself" he said gruffly.
The orchardist seemed very I'M
easy, looking at him from time to
time. At last he came and talked
to Hans, asking if he wasn't sick;
the city had fine hospital near
Saddle Rock, with beautiful grounds
and splendid buildings, where all
kinds Of diseases were treated.
''No, I'm not sick" replied Hans.
Il only went up into the mountains
prospecting. When it came night l
made my bed and went to asleep.
Last night this place was but small
town; now I find it bustling city.
What is the matter, anyway" ex-
claimed Hans.
The apple man looked puzzled.
But finally, remembering the story
of Rip Van Wrinkle, he realized the
similarity between the two cases,
and told Hans he must have slept
for a long time. So Hans compre-
hended what had happened, and al
so, his necessity for money.
His first thought was to see Hill
da. So he started out to find work,
for his money was gone. Beautiful
boulevards, lovely trees and parks
met his gaze as he passed along.
"What is that horrible monster
coming toward me, with such eyes!"
he cried. He turned In terror, his
limbs seemed to lose all strength,
and he couldn't run fast enough.
AS it came nearer, he threw himself
face downward, on the ground. He
would never see Hilda again!
"Honk, honk," screamed this awful
thing and came to q stand-still by
his side. Trembling with fear he
looked into the smiling face of a
young man, who explained that this
was an automobile. Hans was una
bio to walk, 80 they generously took
him on his way until he recovered
himself.
Continuing his search for work,
through the city, Hans noticed the
| ocean liners moored at the docks
and asked, ''Is this city on the
ocean,"
"No, the Columbia has been open
ed to the sea-" was the reply.
Hearing that men were needed in
a mine near by, he set out to get
| work there. AS he was walking
along a mountain road, he heard a
terrible disturbance in the air
Looking up to see what 1t was. he
was astonished at the huge machine
which met his gaze. Something had
gone wrong with it and it was low
ering right over his head.
What is this?" asked Hans.
This is an aeroplane, commonly
called an airship," replied the man
Where are you going?" he contin-
ued.
"To a mine eight miles from
here
Get in and I'll take you"
Hans got in and after riding a
mile or two, told him of his long
sleep and his desire to see Hilda
The man, only being out for pleas
ure trip, told Hans he would take
| him to her.
In three days, they arrived in
| Pennsylvania, right at the door OF
Hilda's home. A white haired lady
greeted him, whom he recognized al
once as Hilda. 1t seemed impossible
that these middle aged people were
the same that had stood by the gate
fifteen years before, but tears of Joy
and fond words of greeting proclaim
! ed them the same.
When Hans turned to introduce
Hilda to his kind friend, the aero
plane was rising, and waving a cheer
full goodbye, its occupant sailed
swiftly away
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-05-11

In the year nineteen hundred, a
youth and maiden stood by the gate,
bidding a fond farewell. The youth
was eager and full of life. One lis
tening would have heard him say,
THE West will pour out her riches
for US, Hilda, and then-happiness!"
The girl fingered by the gate until
the cars had rumbled beyond hear
ing. Hans was right; it would not
be long. Hope sang for her and
there was much to do.
The train carried Hans through
many scenes until he arrived at last,
choked with dust, in a desert village
of five hundred people who hauled
drinking water from the river and
caught the wood they burned from
the same treacherous stream. To
the east, the mountains rose, bold
and brown; to the west, foothills,
broken by canyons, down which came
mountain streams which abounded
in fish. Beyond the hills were the
wooded peaks of the Cascades. At
the foot of these were two irrigat-
ing bitches, one called "Old Settlers
Ditch; the other, Miller Ditch"
along which were all the farms OF
the valley. Alfalfa was raised on
many OF these farms, while an occa-
sional orchard broke the monotony
Of the scene. Cattle and horses
ranged the hills-the principal assets
Of the people.
Desolate enough seemed this scene
to our hero. but he purchased a pros
pector's outfit and started out to
find gold. He travelled along swift
stream for miles, then assembled the
mountains. Just as he stopped for
the night. a band Of Indians calling
themselves "Wenatchees" came upon
him. They were socially inclined
and produced a flask from which
they induced him to drink. The In
dams passed on, but Hans. feeling
sleepy, reclined on a bed of boughs
and fell into a dreamless sleep.
When he awoke he looked about
him. It was much colder than 1t
had been when he went to sleep
The grass was brown. What was
stranger still, the tools by his side
were rusty, and the beardless youth
had become a heavily bearded man
His clothing was so old that II
seemed extremely doubtful If 1t
would hold together. He felt very
hungry, but all his food was gone
He must find food.
Wandering down the mountain he
found a stream and drank of its
pure, cold water, which refreshed
him greatly. AS he came farther
down he was astonished; below him
lay a city of fully fifty thousand in
habitants. Three more irrigating
bitches had been introduced. The
sides of the foot hills were covered
with orchards. The city was built
on both sides of the great river and
connected by steel bridges. Stree'
cars were constantly running. Great
buildings belching forth volumes oil
smoke were to be seen. Factor
ies." he exclaimed Cautiously de-
scending, he met school children by
the hundreds, who were going home
When they saw him they ran away,
screaming.
He stopped in an orchard. Men
were busily engaged picking the
largest red apples he had ever seen.
Hans asked for one. The man turn
