Dt ugluHg McMahon, hard working and
nihuitrlous, but born with a lunging
10 ace the country, yesterday return-
ed to Harmarvllle from Hrooklyn.
where he had been visiting hi* mth-
< r and four brothers, and the little

Mi Mahon, who in now a strong well-
built man. and the foreman of a flour-
ishing establishment at Harmarvllle.
concluded life at the Syracuse uni-
vcrsary waa^oo slow. He disappeared,
;iod from that time until two weekn
.igo he was lust to his parents and Tam-
il}. When he took it into his head
to start out for himself and hpi> life
he had a few paltry dollars. That fact,
lowever. did nol prevent him from
i.Idling shouldersVrlth the world as he
smind it. but rather aided hiui in the
t Irugffle that was to follow. Kather
than burden bis parents he refrained
:rom writing home, and bo far as his
w Iks ron Id learn he was as completely
Test as though he had walked to the
edge of th rearth and had then plung-
ed in. Last week he ret timed to the
oh' homestead, and among the many
<Jungs which he had to relate was the
act that during his travels he had
accumulated a snug fortune and that
• i" was ready to divide and even up old
. ores in the way of the uneasiness and
worry that his absence from home had
tinned. Two weeks at home passed
,i;]y too rapidly, but McMahon had to
lurry bark to business and yesterday
-• wa£ at work again as though noth-
ng had happened, and, for that mat-
er a* though there was no reason for

Young McMahon was born in India,
nnd yesterday while telling the story
of his adventures he laughingly re-
marked that he could hardly be blamed
tor his deal re to travel. When it had
become known to the boy's parents that
be had disappeared from college they
appealed to the police and detectives
of I he country for assistance, but young
McMahon was never discovered, al-
though during the time that he was
:< ne he worked in many of the large
. '.ties in the United States. He has been
0 land-holder, a ranchman, a metal
nolisher, book agent and when the
I anlsh-Amerlcan war was In its in-
fancy he found time to become a olil-
' r and wear the clothes of a private in
he ranks. From Syracuse he went to
Oklahoma, but on the way West he
' ist his collegeinatc and partner, and

Ived in Oklahoma he smilingly al-
\ wed to go unanswered, but that he
in traveled In the right direction was
:! him soon to discover lie arrived
ti time to get In on the rush for
' >nd. for at that time the Cherokee
trip was being thrown open and stak-
< un out a claim he started in to make
loth ends meet, lie bad uok long to
v.*ait.
HIS PERRY CLAIM
For se\ ral months he worked at
rd«! Jobs, but there was hardly a day
that he was not able to flnd some em-
ployment that contributed to his little
fun dof savings. About six months
1 cm the morning on which he had
rtaked his claim he sold the land for a
i urn that enabled him to deposit in
the bank several thousand dollars to the
j ood. The claim that he slaked out
i nd then sold nt a handsome profit is
row a part of the town of Perry. Sw-
ine nothing new in sight for htm at
Terry that had the appearance of quick
j.roflts. young McMahon headed for
Louis. He remained there but a
f w days, however, and his next stop-
j Ing place was Chicago. His bank ac-
count had never touched, hut once ia
I Chicago he started in to again make
' both ends meet \n was the raw In
Oklahoma the ends soon came to the
j lueetiag point. Young .Mi Mahon flnaJ-
lv fouu.1 employment in shop, after
u few days quest, and It wic not long
j ui til he waa learning his trade as a
| metaal polisher Two years in Chicago
I wi re enough for one npel< and Mc-
Mahon next made track* fvor Canada.
What he did there h«, in telllug his
story, passed up with the mere re-
mark i hat he had been abb- to make
enough for expenses and something
i more, and after seeing as much of that
I country as lie cared to returned to
Chicago
1 HB FOLLOWED THB SOLD! WIS
' Upon his return to Chicago McMa-
hon s spirit for roving was again amus-
ed. but this lime it was the sight of
HcWiers In uniform that started him on
the go. The soldiers he saw were the
volunteers, tfhd "McMahon lost no time
; in making up his mind to be one of
] tin m. He accordingly enlisted in 'he
| Sixteenth Illinois volunteers, and it
* was not long until he wan on his way
south. His regiment got no farther
than Tampa, but by the time McMahon
• was mustered out he was ready for a
change of life, and he struck out for
Charleston. S. Q , where h«■ □
ot drift along by selling novelties.
From Charleston McMahon went to
Baltimore, and then t Colndnnall. At
the later place luck whs with him and
he managed to clear quite u few dol-
lars by engaging in the book busine s.
From Cincinnati .McMahon drifted to
Wheeling, and while there he happened
to see an advertisement In a Pittsburg
newspaper which stated that a good
position awaited the proper ninn at
Harmarvllle, about J'J miles from Pitts-
| burg and McMahon took the first train
| for that place, lie applied for the
position and got it. lie started to
wcrk on the next day, and he has been
tin re ever since. The one sad feature
of the story ib best told by McMahon
: himself.
"A"er I had roamed all over the
! country." he said yesterday in relating
his adventures. ' i made up my mind
that 1 would like to see the folks at
In me. and 1 wrote to an aunt and
, asked where my parent were living,
i It was then 'that 1 discovered for the
hist time that my father hail died sev-
eral years h*o. My mother and four
brothers, I learned, were living in
Brooklyn, and 1 decided to look them
i up. I went there for the Fourth or
July nnd everything seemed to be so
i f ood with 1 he folks that I remained
longer than I had at first intended. I
had been able to accumulate a nice lit-
ti • bank roll, so Just to try and even
up for old worries that I had caused
I untied the roll. When it was time
finally for me to come bftck to wof'
packed my grip and here ? am.
luarviilo is good enough for me. for a
while at least, and I suppose the old
longing coines on again until the SHltl)
longing comes on again 1 shall stav
right here. After that —well. I should

BECOMING
A MOTHER
Is an ordeal which all
women approach with
indescribable i'ear, for
nothing compares with
the pain unci horror of
chikl-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, rob?- the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the* coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the tne of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
continement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women ut the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning
sickness," aud other dis-
