Of the huudriMls of men engagcnl in
mining pursuits in the state of Ore
gon, there are none nearer the hundred-year
mark than William Kerr, of
Douglas county, who lives an isolated
life aud Is ctigaged in working a mine
without assistance.
Regarding the centenarian miner a
rcent Isstie of the Roseburg Review
contained the following:
7loiiglas county can no doubt lsiast
of having the oldest active miner in
the world a man who In a fpur days

own laltor in the past four years.
A short distance alove Days creek,
on the South Umpqua river, there Is
a 'solitary miner's cabiu close by the
county road, ami near by is the cabin
in which William Kerr lives solitary
and alone, but iuduttrious and per
fectly coutenteI. He was Itorn in
Pcimsylvanui on August 7, 1.SU1, aud
will celebrate his !;nh birthday in a
lew days, although he considers h.m
slf anything but an old man.' He
appears more like a well, preserved
man of i or 7 and is stronger and
more active than most men at that
iM-i-iod of their live. The fact that
in the four j-ears since lie located a
mining claim on the South Fiiiisiua
he has driven with his own labor 120
feet of tunnel through tin nn-k Is suf
ficient evidence of this fact. lie ex
pects soon to strike a ledge with a
fortcne when he can retire and enjoy
life in his old age free from toil and
care, but there are some who say the
out mans mining judgment is far less
souud than his constitution and that
Ike Is driving his tunnel through ordi

a sign of gold. . f .

' LortI Iloberts Is the most signal ex
ample of this. Ah a lad be was so
deliccte that when he went out to
India on his first voyage there as a
soldier it wa a generally supposed by
his most Intimate friends and relar
tlves that! his life would necessarily
lie short, so paK and delk-ate was he.

prophets of evil lxen falsified by
what we 'In our time see and know

The Duke of Wellington was not at
all strong when a lad, and his mother
was often much concerned alsmt his
health. At Eton begot the reputation
of Is-ing, ratlM-r a silent., tacit urn.
smewhat sullen youth. Ilut It Is
generally lielieved now that this was
as much due to his-. delicate health as
to any individual characteristic of his
own temiera in-cut.
Arthur sWellesley could not stand
the knocking ; alxmt and rough-and-temhle
life that some of his Eton
friends enjoyed at that time, and they
weiv not slow to make him aware of
the fact.
Ko-hefrt Maguire, whose recent ad
ventures ; in Kinilierley ami help t6
the garris(ti , lutve tuade his name
more known' even than before the
siege, was almost "given up" when a
lov. so jKKr was his general health.

Maguire found at the C-ape a - matt

to leave England and the prosis?t of
liemg a clerg-man owing to nis wax
state of Ivealth. This man had once
Ish'U int ende 1 for a parson, like his
father, and would have perhaps ended
his days as a country vicar had not
had health stepiod in and made him
lve up that idea and set out for
for Capo Colony. Then his health 1
came retufwed. and today' the whole
wo'rld knows Cecil Rhodes almost as
well as It knows anylsxly.
Ithmles may Well lie called a "sol
dier" as regards fighting, for, though
not a military-man by profession, he
was always willing to take any share
of fighting that came along his way
.a iil his ; advice to doubtful Britons
during the late crisis In Klmlierley
to "bf like ine and sit tight, will not
lie readily forgotten. It was said that
Kruger had such an opjnlon of Cecil
Rhodes , fighting powers" that he pro-
tosel to put him Into a cage when
Kimlierley was taken, but it may also
tie said that Rhodes' would have
shown the Boers no small amount of
resistance first tiefore he had thus al
lowed himself to be taken, for he Is
by instinct . a fighting man to the
very 1oik. :
Havelock was never very strong.
and as a boy he was decidedly on the
dark side of health. Even when a
man his pale face was a general snb
ject of remark among his followers.
I'.rst they all knew his wortli and
courage when the time of trial cam.
Perhaps no civilian In this century
was more a born flgliter than was
Eord Byron, had he leen able to tie
come a? real soldier, but he was kept
back from that by his deformity and
by constant lad health. . Yet he wvnt
forth manfully to help the tireeks In
their struggles for Independence
against the Turks and perished at
Missoloughi.
The present kaiser has never teen
a robust man and as a lad was still
more delicate. His deformed arm al
ways gave him much trouble in af
fecting Ids; general health, esneclallv
n. his younger flays, but he has, Ky
t'ts splendid ; resolution and care,
grown out of this constant bad health,
and today he Is a fighting man not
