MAKES $4,000 ON
SIX DOLLAR CAPITAL

Portland, Ore, May 29.-Dead broke
less than a year ago and working at
odd jobs cleaning Easements and yards
in this city and now worth $4,000, all
of which was secured through his own
efforts, is the experience of w. B.
Cornell, an Alaska miner.
To H. A. Davie, deputy city attorney,
is largely due much of the credit for
the good fortune which has befallen
the luck miner. Cornell came to
Davie last July and pleaded for work.
Davie gave him some odd jobs clean
ing the yard and basement in his
home, for which he paid the man 81.
After the work was completed the
stranger asked for Sc for railway afro
to Tacoma from which place he in
tended to go to Alaska. The man ap-
peared to be honest, and Davie gave
him Sc.
That was the last heard of the man
until few days ago, when Davie re-
ceived letter written from the White
Horse River, Yukon Territory. Con-
NELL said that he had reached Alaska
and had gone to the Chisana gold
fields, and there had located on three
claims.
Il have sold the three claims, u
writes Cornell, "to a New York synd;-
cate for $4,000, $4,000 cash, 100000
in three months and the remainder in
six months. So, taking everything in
to consideration, have not done 50
awfully bad since last July"

CHICAGO SERGEANT PUTS HIS
$500 INTO DIAMOND STUD; FOR.
TUNE SWEPT AWAY.

Chicago, May 30.-Detectiye Ser
geant Michael Connors, of the pick
pocket detail, had saved up little
roll of the root of evil, and was look
ing about for something to invest it in.
A friend suggested diamonds and the
sergeant sunk several hundreds in a
stud that glittered on his chest like
every bit of the $500 he said it was
worth.
From the depths of his red four-in-
hand Connors' investment dazzled the
eyes of State street pedestrians.
Last night the sergeant was looking
for pickpockets in a Harrison street
crowd. He pushed his $500 hunk OF
ice proudly ahead of him as motor
car faunts its lights. Jerry Haran,
another detective sergeant, met him at
a corner.
why are the lights out tonight,
Mike he asked, indicating his
friends chest Did you leave the din
-oond at home for your wife to read
the Haper by?''
ConEo~s made wild clutch at his
tie. His neckwear was innocent OF
dazzle. The diamond was gone and
there is little doubt that it was stolen
by one of the gentlemen with supple
fingers whom Connors was looking
for.

DOG FINDS MASTERS GRAVE
Chained Up at Funeral Three Years
Ago, He Locates Tomb.

Sayyille, Long Island ~ Y, May 90.
Tot, the pet dog in the family of
Mrs. Clara E. Brown, of Sayville, has
been kept chained the greater part If
the time since his young master,
George Brown, met mis- tragic death il
Great South Bay three years ago. But
Tot has become so aged and feeble he
has of late been allowed to go free,
and on several occasions his absence
has caused a search for him, and
each time he has been found lying on
his masters grave in St. AIMS Gem
etery.
Tot was chained to his kennel at the
time of his masters funeral but it is
believed he watched the procession, as
he could have seen the cemetery from
his kennel.
The dog now will pass around the
several graves of different members Of
the family and select from all the 9TH
ers the grave of George Brown, on
which he will lie for hours.
