OF, as many fail to have the money, they
continue to ''hold'' their claim until

ern man is very chivalrous, and nine
times out of ten the young man who
owns the next claim has scheme for

young woman is apt to enter heartily.
However, throwing aside the matter of
marriage here, which is, indeed, hard
to lose sight of in land so given to
wedlock, young woman of pluck and
good character is never at a loss. Ii she

with credentials, and she is almost sure
to find school in the neighbOrhood

that, there are always openings for
good, sensible girls, who can cook
and keep house where they are socially
on par with the best. If she can sew,
