dad" R0YALE's LUCKY DAY
Old Man Had Reason to Be Thankful
That His Pig Developed Quality
of Enterprise.

One Of the most important applica-
tions of geological science is the point
ing out of places likely to yield stores
Of mineral wealth. And yet, where
copper is concerned, the really great
discoveries in this country have been
made by pure luck. ...- ..
It was Old Man Royale's pig that
located, according to the story. the
richest copper mine in the world-the
famous Calumet lode.
Old Man Royale was not interested
in mining; he kept a boarding house.
But his pig was gifted with the yal'l-
able quality of enterprise. Grubbing
in the back yard. it "snooted up" q
prehistoric Indian cache.
The cache contained a large guam
tity of "copper" fortune in itself. But
examination of the rock beneath dis
closed veins of the metal, and mining
operations thereupon undertaken de-
veloped the Calumet lode, which has
since paid $145.00O,OOO in dividends
and S5OO,0OO,000 in wages.
Native" copper was used to con-
siderable extent by the Indians In pre-
Columbian days, for ornamental pur-
poses chiefly Ancient aboriginal skel-
etons have been dug up wearing cop
per masks. In Michigan they got cop
per out of rocks by building fires
against them; and huge nuggets of
mass" copper weighing hundreds OF
pounds have been found in the Lake
Superior region which showed signs
of unsuccessful attack. The Indians
had no tools with which to cut up
such great Jumps. and they could not
carry them away bodily.
Copper is the American metal par
excellence, and of all the metals Is
the most useful to mankind, iron alone
excepted.

DECIDED TO JINE' LAFAYETTE.
"Mad" Anthony Wayne Reconsidered
His Determination Not to Accede
to Frenchman's Request.

Writing on Lafayette in America,
in Forum, Count de la Fayette, great
great-grandson of General Lafayette,
told the following anecdote of his dis
tinguished ancestor, whose part in the
revolution for American independence
is we'll known:
During the Virginia campaign Gen
eral Lafayette was once in need or
re-enforcements and consequently sent
his aid, Major Anderson, to General
Wayne, the "Mad" Anthony, to ask
him to join his command at a certain
place and date. Major Anderson, on
arriving at tie headquarters Of Gen.
eral Wayne, explained to him the pur-
pose of his mission. Mad" Anthony
Immediately went. as usual, into
great rage and, pacing to and fro In
the room, started to curse that d
Frenchman, that frog-eater," etc. Ma
jor Anderson very quietly allowed the
storm to pass and then sat down, took
out his pencil and started to write.
Seeing this, General Wayne asked him
what he was doing, to which Major
Anderson replied that he was taking
some notes to make faithful report
to General Lafayette. That answer
brought forth another outhurst, but by
and by General Wayne listened to the
explanation of Major Anderson and
finally exclaimed: "Tell him I'll jine
him. By c., I'll jine him" And, in
deed, the next day he Joined General
Lafayettes command.

The Bottom Fact.

It was related that a famous Amer
lean surgeon became famous because
of the thoroughness Of his methods.
When a patient came to him he first
ran down every symptom and every
cause of the trouble until he got at
the primary cause.
1t is a good idea to follow, whether
man be surgeon, a lawyer, me-
chanic or farmer. The thing to do
is to get at the fact at the bottom Of
all the other facts.
The idea is well illustrated by the
old saw about the horseshoe nail.
"For want of a nail the shoe was lost, "
it says; "for want Of shoe the horse
was lost; for want of horse the
rider was lost; for want of a rider
the battle was lost; and all for the
want of horseshoe nal"

lucky waters. AS he sat and stared
at the river that runs by his farm in
Kentucky he conceived a rowboat
that would look like any other boat,
but that would be constructed so
weirdly that nobody could get into
it without capsizing. No sooner
thought of than he placed the order
for the comedy craft. After that,
whenever his friends came out to
see him, johnson would place a pint
of Kentucky Bourbon engagingly at
the far end of the boat as it lay in
nocently in the water, tied to log
on shore. Then he would sit on his
veranda and listen to the stories his
friends told, when they came up
after dry clothes, about how they
happened to fall in.
AS fond as he is Of a good joke,
johnson never laughs. When he is
extremely overcome by mirth ne
gives just a sad little chuckle, that

ing is one form of outdoor sport
that has none of what we call "ad-
vertising." There is no concerted
effort put forth for the organizing of
sailing clubs, or campaigns for men,
bership in the pastime. 1t is pure
~ matter of the like or dislike of
the person himself, and every effort
is made at the different "camping
grounds" of the various Yachting
parties to avoid contests or races in
waters that are sailed alike by the
experienced and the inexperienced. 1t
IS great mark to the credit Of the
young men and women who have
made yachting their summers pleas
ure that there has beer no fragrant
violation of understood rules and
no disastrous accident in the waters
around New York.
One party of young men and
young women set sail at Great Neck
one day recently-there were six
sailboats in all-and they cruised
three days and three nights up and
down the coast, returning to their
homes with fish enough to last each
OF their families for more than
week and with "tans" that should be
| adequate to asst we'll into the win
ter holidays, if properly preserved.
They spent half their time, they
reported, swimming in the unknown
depths of the Atlantic Ocean and
the other half divided about equally

when their food had all been con-
sumed that they at last turned about
and hurried to their homes.
After all, what could be more
genuine fun? A seaworthy craft,
good supply of substantial food,
plenty Of fishing tackle and nothing
to worry about! We must confess
we haven't had the good fortune to

would be willing to trust US on

Is off for a simple little spin with
out work and without energy and
without danger, if you please.
When an American of some stand
ing as a yachtsman asked Sir
Thomas Upton recently why he was
such a devoted racer, he replied, in
effect, that he wasn't so much Of
q racer at heart as he was a yachts
man.
"If you ever aeld the wheel Of a
sa;lboat, you know what I r1ean,"
he said to the American. "Have
you ever sailcd?"
The man replied that he had and
was, if it didn't appear boastful,
considered around his clubhouse as
very nearly ca expert
"Then you are asAlng ME a qucs-
tion you could answer for your
SELF" replied the smiling English
man. ASK ne more difficult
question next time, please" And
then they went inside the old racers
cabin and probably drank some tea.
ideal Weather
This summer, according 10 Cap
tain James Linton, Of the Port
Washington Yacht Club, has been
one of ideal weather for yachting in
all its departments. The full-hedged
steam yacht, with cabins for the
family and with ballroom and din
ing saloon large enough to accommo-
date tho family and several Of the
New-York tribune., 1920-09-26

neighbors, has been on the steady
sail since late in April, he says, and
several Of these splendid vessels
have touched home port half dozen
times, only to turn almost within
the same day and depart for other
shores.
The sailboats, he says, have -four
ished with excellent sailing weather,
lust right" suns and good breezes,
and many Of them have made the
trip to Newport and return, others
to towns along the Jersey shore,
some Of them staying out nights, re-
turning With great catches of deep
sea fish and bringing stories Of "es-
capades" at sea that would do the
heart of moving picture directors
good.
Theao is no longer any difficulty in
preparing dinrer for small parties
on board the yachts, even the
smaller varieties, and always there
Is a phonograph taken along. One
young man belonging to the Port

understood; instead, they are now
advising the boys to buy larger
yachts so they may sail away at
night, dancing on the glazed floors
of the boats while the electric piano
does its part.
AT Glen Cove we find, perhaps, the
most densely settled yachting ground
in the world. Here each day from
500 to 1000 craft glide in and out,
with every conceivable kind of new
apparatus for interior and exterior
appointment. From the toy type
mentioned above to the full sized
sailing craft, and from shiny new
ones to those gray and brown from
the winds of many sun,mers-you
see them all at Glen Cove.
''Manned'' by Girls
j. L. Newton, one of the widely
known yachtsmen of Glen Cove, in
talking with a friend the other day,
said he never had found so many
craft running about loose" in the
open water as he had found this
year. He said that in his travels
since May up and down the coast he
had found scores Of small sailing ves
sells far from home, in a few cases
manned" by girls, whose faces and
arms and necks were as tanned as
the soles Of their shoes, and many Of
whom had not been in to New York
City since the opening of the sum-
mer.
II believe Cornelius Vanderbilt jr.
was right when he said in the begin
ming Of the summer that American
young men and women soon were 60
ing to desert the motor car and the
airplane for the sailing vessels of the
sea-" he said. ut appears now that
by next summer there will have to
be a few new boat factories started
to take care Of the large demand
for craft"
William G. Wood, Of the United
Shipbuilding Corporation, at Morris
Heights, who has watched the prog
ress Of the sailing fad since long
before the war began, said only a
few days ago that the demand for
new boats and the call for modern
equipment and the most expensive
interior decorations and furnishings
had far outdone what even the most
hopeful builders had expected, and
that additional workmen would be
placed in the departments Of the con-
Germ handling the output Of pleasure
craft.
1t must b. remembered that yacht"
