Went West for His Health
Soon After He Was rs

Beginning with Brooklyn, since one must,
Oddie added one to the population on the
Gath day Of October, 1870. 1t is date that
Nevada remembers pridefully, even IL
Brooklyn has forgotten all about it. He
had all the education that could be
crammed into him up to the age of 16 and
until the doctors gave the family the alter
native of buying a railroad ticket or plot
In Greenwood Cemetery for a very sick
boy. So young Oddie went to Nebraska,
filed his lungs with sunshine and ozone,
punched cows for the fun of it and came
back East he man.
Circumstances edged him into real es-
tate and the study Of law, but he had the
tang of the West in his blood. The East
was too tame. The Stokes family Of New
York, owning mining properties In Nevada
and persuaded that they were being de-
frauded by rascals in their employ, hired
Oddie to go out to Nevada and investigate.
He discovered. through private detective
work exposing him to sudden death by
lead poisoning, chat the Stokeses hadn't
suspected the half Of 1t. He cleaned up the
swindlers, took his pay, got interested in
mining for its own sake and went into
the sagebrush a-prospecting.
Oddie knows what II is to sleep in the
desert, under the stars. lulled by the sooth-
ing rustic of sidewinders and the plants
of melancholy burros singing to the in
constant moon. In this existence he
accumulated knowledge of rock and Of
ore signs which came in very handy pres
emily.
The best piece Of luck that befell him
was meeting old Jim Butler. The pros
pector, suspicious, and rightly, Of most
people, took liking to the young fellow
from the East aud presently revealed
secret that many persons too wise to be
intelligent had laughed at. Old Jim
showed samples of ore that assayers had
rejected, or rather had declined to waste
time with in their crucibles They said
silver and gold could not possibly be
where Butler said he had located crop
pings. II just couldn't be and that ended
the matter. It didn't do old Jim any good
to remind the wiseacres that gold and
silver were where you found them. They
knew too much.

- YER so often scme individual previ-
ously unremarkable or at least un-
remarked tops the grade of fame
and admits that he was born in that
mysterious respectability across the East
River from Manhattan, Brooklyn. The
Congressional Directory. interesting work
of contemporary fiction though it be, is
doubtless veracious in any number of such
confessions. You would be surprised,
blowing through the commendatory sta
tistics of this collection of autobiographies,
to note how many of our present day
statesmen took their origin somewhere
about Red Hook.
Among these one time Brooklynites is
the junior United States Senator from the
sovereign State of Nevada. the Hon. (as the
style hath it) Tasker Lowndes Oddie, dis
coverer of Tonopah. There! The secret
is out While many and various distinc-
tions cluster round the noble brows of our
Senators, Oddie, so far as I know, is the
only one who ever discovered whole flock
Of silver and gold mines. This was in 1898,
when Oddie and his partner prospector,
Jim Butler, combined their capital and
counted up to $25 in real money.
Nowadays it would not be polite to ask
Oddie how much he is worth. He owns
mines, ranches, kind faced old Hereford
cows by the thousand, real estate and the
delectable documents that must be clipped
twice a year to keep them in good con-
dition.

SOCIETY LEADERS ACTIVE

Ten thousand flags laughed in Park
avenue yesterday when the three days
street fair of the Association for the
Aid of Crippled Children threw open
its many gates from F'orty-sixth street
TO Fiftieth to such surge of patron
age as made society matrons and
misses and professional entertainers
weary but happy before 10 p. NJ. ended
their benevolent labors for the day. In
its first eight hours of activity the
fair pleased probably 10000 grown
ups and assorted sizes of youngsters
thoroughly pleased them, because its
motto was action. and it gave solid
amusement for every dime that clinked
into its cash boxes.
Last night the illumination of the fair
section attracted large crowd, which
packed the inclosure between Forty-sixth
and F'iftieth streets. One of the fea-
lures was the quaint standards designed
by Robert Winthrop Chanler.
All of the shows drew large crowds
during the evening. one particularly pop
ular feature being the tent in which
Charles Dana Gibson, Howard Chandler
Christy. James Montgomery Flagg and
other artists sketched all comers at $40
each.
