FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH
w. 3. Connell, a Miner of Alaska,
Broke a Year Ago, Is Now
Worth $4,000.

Portland, Ore.-Broke less than a
year ago and working at odd jobs
cleaning Easements and yards in
this city and now worth $83, 900, 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 attor-
ney of this city, is largely due much Of
the credit for the good fortune which
has befallen the lucky miner. Cornell
came to Davie last July with the story
that he knew Judge Davie, the local
attorneys father, who was formerly a
judge in British Columbia. He had a
hard-luck story and pleaded for work.
Davie gave him some odd jobs clean
ing the yard and basement in his home,
for which he paid the mar two dollars.
After the work was completed the
stranger asked for six dollars for rail-
way fare to Seattle, from which place
he intended to go to Alaska. The man
appeared to be honest, and he gave
Cornell six dollars.
Ihdt was II 1ooI hCoAQ VI LAO hdu
until a few days ago. when he received
a letter written from the White Horse
river, Yukon territory. Connell said
that he had reached Alaska and had
gone to the Chisana gold fields, and
there had located on three claims.
81 have sold the three claims
writes Cornell, ito a New York syndi-
cate for $4,000; $4,000 cash, $40, 900
in three months and the remainder in
six months. So, taking everything into
consideration, / have not lone so aw,

my business to visit Portland and see
you and your family. / have a notion

also one for your sister. l often

day and plenty of money the next,
Concluding his letter, Cornell said
the Chisana country was no place for
a poor man, because all the claims
were staked and prices of everything
are Sky high"

women, whose lives were intimately
associated with the nation and state.
Long before the Revolutionary war
when settlers in Delaware were few,
a handful of Episcopalians, known as
the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel, began the organization of
a church. A wooden building was
pitched on the road to Delaware bay,
about two miles east of Dover. This
early move was in 1903.
The crude frame building continued
to be the place of worship until the
population had SO expanded that there
was a demand for larger quarters.
In 1874 work on a brick building
was begun. Historians record that it
was at that time thought a remark
able enterprise, and there was an in
fiux of visitors each Sunday to watch
the progress on a brick church, an
innovation, because all others were of
frame.
Six years passed before the ediice
was completed. The congregation
thrived, but previous to the Civil war
it was abandoned and given up to
"moles and bats" Cattle were stabbed
in 1t and it became a rendezvous for
boys.
In 1850 the church was reclaimed
and the rough uses to which it had
been subjected were found to have
had but little effect. Extensive re
pairs were made and it was reconse
Grated by Bishop Lee. Since then
there have been more repairs, and
though some beautihed the interior,
none emphasized its rich heritages.
The restoration as far as possible,
with modern conveniences, has been
to revive the original architectural
lines and style.

sure Enouqh, Why Not7

Sydney Buxton has some amusing
things to say in his recently published
Book of Fishing Stories"
Why" he asks, "is it that day after
day a single salmon, and one only, is
caught? Is it that among so many
fish covered by the fly there is each
day in one pool one fish more active,
ore enterprising, more alert and
more intelligent than the rest Or is
this particular fish, so to speak. the
village idiot?"
Mr.. Buxton tells a story If a fisher
man who, after a successful four-hour
tussle with a large salmon, came bach
in triumph and related the story tC
his aunt. Like all anglers he laid
wearisome emphasis on the time oc-
cupied and the muscular expenditure.
But, my dear Tom." the aunt re-
marked, why did you not cut the
string and get rid of the brute?"

EASY WAY TO GOOD HEALTH
Stand Straight and You'll Steer Clear
of Lung Trouble, Says Medical
Body.

New York.-The first essential in
the avoidance of tuberculosis of the
lungs, or consumption, is to keep the
lungs strong, SO that if the germs are
breathed they can do no harm, &C
cording to a bulletin of the American
Medical association.
One Of the most important things
In keeping the lungs strong is to keep
the chest wide open, so that the lungs
can be properly used. If the body is
dropped or stoops, or if the shoulders
are allowed to drag forward Ground
shoulder), or if the head is carried
forward instead of we'll back over the
shoulders, the chest must be fiattened,
the breathing must be shallow, and
the lungs, not being freely used, be-
come weak.
1t is in this type of chest that tuber-
culosis usually begins. The consump-
tive is usually narrow chested, with
dropped shoulders and with the head
craned forward. While the develop
ment of a strong, we'll formed chest Is
one of the most important factors in
preventing tuberculosis, the same
thing is to be desired If the disease
has once started. Not only should we
live in the open, but we should stand
up straight and learn to throw a big
chest" so that the lungs can grow
strong and the fresh air be taken in.
The runner, the singer, or any one
who is obliged to make sustained ef-
fort is taught to stand and sit with
the chest high, so that the lungs can
be used to the best advantage, and If
there would be less tuberculosis, be-
cause there would be fewer weak
lungs.

Using Up Mistakes.

A mother was showing her small
daughter how to do something. Later
the child made a mistake, but the
mother advised her not to worry about
1t, but to remember to make
that same error again, and explained
that If we profted by our mistakes
they were useful after all.
"Oh, / know why" answered the
little one. Because If you keep on
making and making mistakes by and
by there won't be any more mistakes
left"
If only true, how nice this would be!

courts lit by electricity and warmed

of the adjuncts and by-products of life
at st. Moritz in winter.
Pleasures and activities are as null
tiform as human nature in this gay
vanity fair in the snow, where, in
the electric air, the active are more
vigorous, the delicate and fragile
awake to new energy. The ~so-called

very magic and mysterious properties
not merely of a therapeutic but also
of a moral and a social sort. 1t is,
however, primarily for winter sports

Best Way to Open RoIls.

1t is exceedingly painful to touch a
boil, even when it is large enough to
open. A correspondent writes that
the best way to do this is to paint
a ring of c~ollodion, which can be pur-
chased in any drug store, around it,
being careful not to put any directly
over the boil. AS the alcohol evap-
crates the collodion In drying will ex-
ert a gentle but firm pressure all
around the boil, not only opening it,
but forcing out its contents, which
should be absorbed by a perfectly
clean handkerchief or piece Of ster-
ilized cotton.
