Joseph's snub-nosed face was a study
of youthful enthusiasm as he expatiated
on his methods, and his Irresistible man
ner of talking to you in a sort OF heart
to-heart. man-to-man fashion makes you
realize instantly why he won out ahead
OF thousands of expert competitors for
one OF the biggest prizes offered by the
Curtis Publishing Company to It's army of
statesmen.
According to his mother Joseph has
always been n money-maker, although he
started his financial career without a cent
of capital. He simply found a paper at
Atlantic City. Now, to the average per-
son a stray pnper is simply a stray paper,
and the street-cleaning department ought
to know better. but to Joseph that stray
paper was the means of making his first
dollar. He sold II on the Boardwalk for
n nickel and invested In more papers
These he sold and then he reinvested.
After n days hard work he could Jingle
a dollars worth of small change in his
pockets.
But I had to work hard" he said,
reminiscently, "just as had to work the
time me and another fellow got of the
sandman act. 1t was this way: We dug
deep hole in the beach right by the
boardwalk, and got down in It and then
my pal. he piled the sand up around me
to my neck. Then I opened my mouth
real wide and we dared the people to
throw pennies In my mouth. No. we
didn't offer them anything, but they took
shot at me just for the fun of the thing.
And we got all the pennies. Gee! 1t was
fun"
II I weren't afraid Of painting Joseph
Welsh as an angel I'd tell you about his
crippled mother and about how he finds
time to do most of the housework for her
in addition to going to school and making
IS and Sc a week selling magazines. to
say nothing of hauling down big money
prizes. l also might mention that he
wants to spend his hard-earned thousand
in trying to get her cured. But, then, you
mightn't be inclined to think It a true
story. and. of course, 1t really is.

The appointment of Roscoe Drumheller to be Col ecor of Customs at Seattle makes the third appoint ment to high office at that city that has come from other sections Of the State And for another the post master. the appointee was who had never been active in politics contributing neither funds nor per sona service to the advancement Of his political party. The King country Democratic organization has been recognized in one instance only in the appointment Of Clay Allen to be United States District Attorney. Yet Seattle cast nearly oneiourh of the votes that were given to President Wilson by the State Of Wash ington in the last election and gave Gov. Lis- ter the plurality that elected him. Seattle gave Gov Lister plurality of 5000 over Gov Hay, whom he defeated and his plurality in tho State was but s22 The Democrats have won no important point in the State of Washington n years except the election of c.
