NEW CANADIAN BOY APT IN BUSINESS Shoe Shine Youth of Alien Birth Rising to : Affluence Winnipeg, Aug. 2-- Streets have their epics as the mountains do, and the story of a Winnipeg shoe- shine boy is undoubtedly one of them," says the Evening Tribune.

Stan's opportunities have been mostly of his own making. He owes his in- dependence to nothing but natural curiosity and a passion for being his own boss. You might divine these qualities from the keen face, frank eyes and lightning quickness of up-take, but you would never imagine all the energy and igenu- ity that have gone to the building of his little castle, brick by brick.

Within the past year or so a comprehensive collection of engrav- ings of British sailing vesesls, for- merly in the possession of Captain Macpherson, was saved from the American market, thanks to the public-spirited action of 'Sir James Caird and his associates in the shipping world, who between them subscribed a fund of over $500,000 | and acquired these priceless souve- nirs for presentation to an institute which will be known as the nation- al naval and maritime museum, to be located at the Queen's House, Greeuwich. The museum will nat, however, be opened to the public for more. than four years. In the interim, this colossal collection has been publicly exhibited at the Guildhall and in Whitehall and other centres. Today Great Britain fs remind- ed of perhaps the most glorious episode in her 'naval history, the Battle of Trafalgar. Professor Geoffrey Callender, M.A., F.8.A,, of the Royal Naval College, Green- wich, was the moving spirit in orig- inating and promoting the restora- tion of H.M.S. "Victory," which has now been successfully carried through. But there is still further effort to be made before this restor- ation can be regarded as complete. Thanks to the generosity of thelr owner, L. M. Feuerheerd, formerly of Oporto, three "pieces" of Ad- miral Lord Nelson's furniture which stood in the dining-saloon on board H.M.S. "Victory," at the Bat- tle of Trafalgar, were accepted*by the Admiralty on loan from him, and deposited for exhibition in the fore cabin last October. Being compelled to dispose of these his- toric relics, Mr. Feuerheerd has so far resisted several offers to pur- chase them for American clients, and it is to be hoped that some wealthy and patriotic citizens will acquire these invaluable "'pieces" for the nation. The furiture con- sists of dining-table, side-board and wine-cooler, and its pedigree .is of peculiar interest not only to con- Roigseuts, but also the general pub- c. After the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Lord Nelson, H.M.S. "Victory" put back into Roux bay to refit. The Admiral's body was on hoard, for Captain Hardy had promised him a burial in England. In order for the Fore Cabin to be rigged as a temporary Mortuary Chapel, tie furniture was removed and put ashore, where it was sur- reptitiously sold by Chevalier. the Admiral's steward.
