After supper, Paul Dexter ca led at
the Fulton home to see ID elk, 10 whom
he made proposition, which, il view
of circumstances, was liberal, and
which Fulton was glad to accept. They
agreed that Dexter and Haynie should
go on with the work until Fulton was
well enough to help and that Fulton
was to retain a half interest in the
mine. Pat was not present at the in
terview. When Dexter made his np-
pearance she responded to his pleasant
''good-evening" with 4 very frigid
nod, and, after letting him pass into
the house with the remark: Some one

But Pat did not look at the matter as
her father did, and nothing he could
say tended to convince her that they
had not been robbed.
After this, Dexter was a frequent
visitor at the Fulton's. The partners
were now employing several men, and
the work of developing the property
was going on rapidly. so there was
much to consult Fulton about, as his
experience and advice were worth
good deal But when Dexter appeared,
Pat invariably absented herself. She
told herself she hated him, and all that

MUSIC AT The FAIR.
A Series of Concerts Arranged for By the
Lady Managers.

A Series of Concerts Arranged for By the
Lady Managers.
The women board of managers for
the Worlds fair have made plan for a
musical programme at the woman's
building during the exposition. 1t is
proposed to give semi-monthly concerts
in the hall of the woman's building,
which is well adapted to the purpose,
at which only women or girls who are
amateurs of talent will be permitted to
appear Quartets, trios, either vocal or
instrumental, choral or orchestral
societies of women will be eligible for
examination, these not to be later than
February, 1898, either in Chicago or in
various cities. 1t will be necessary to
have been a resident of this country at
least ten years in order to perform at
these concerts. The qualifications Of
any one desiring to take part must first
be tested and approved by jury
selected by the women's national COM
mittee on music and satisfactory to
Theodore Thomas, musical director of
the exposition. No musical prodigy
will be admitted simply as such, nor is
the diploma of any college or conserva-
tory either necessary or sufficient. Each
candidate will be rated upon her merits,
technical proficiency not alone being
considered. Permission to appear at
these concerts will be a mark Of high
honor. Minnesota has decided to be-
stow n medal upon each successful can
idate belonging in the state, and it is
hoped that other states will follow its
example. The concerts are intended to
provide a public appearance for those
amateurs of distinction who are shut
out from the concert room of the pro-

the Work She Does.
It was once considered q foregone
conclusion that women could not be
successful dentists Many dental col
leges are still closed against them, yet
there are in the United States to-day
$50 women dentists. A goodly number
of these are located in Chicago. Mrs
Hattie Z. Lawrence, chairman of the
woman's committee of the worlds
congress auxiliary on dental con-
gress, is one of the most successful
of these dentists. Mrs. Lawrence has
had twelve years of independent prac-
tice as a dentist in this city. She
learned her profession by assisting in
her husbands office, where she learned
to do all kinds of work. She now has
a very large general practice.
Mrs. Lawrence was born in Hillsboro.

Mrs. Tenny. During her twelve years
practice she has made a competency
and is the owner of considerable prop

Artists Fancies.

The artist is naturally always in love
and restrained from matrimony only
by the difficulty of supporting two peo-
pie on an income that is barely suf-
fcient for one. To be an artist you
must be an idealist. Studio life has
extraordinary vicissitudes at times,
but it is always made up more or less
of visionary elements Occasionally
the artists dreams turn into night
mares, and he has n very bad quarter
of an hour. But when events disillu-
sionize him he mopes for a short period
and proceeds to fall in love with 4 new

THE ROOSTER CROWS.

THE snake didn't like it Mt first but by
and by the novelty of the situation seem

strange living protubcrance. My friend
didn't interfere, curious to see what the re-
suit of that singular companionship would

fond of one another, and it was worth a

snake turning its head back and smuggling

Relies of LATTE, the Famous Buccanccr.
Fishermen in Galveston bay, near Viz
ginia point, recently discovered Mt low tide
two old cannons, which were found to be
made of copper mixed with small quaint
ties of silver. The two pieces are of same
make and weigh about $50 pounds each,
and both bear the inscription, Santa Fc de
Bogota, June ID, 11SS" One is stamped
III Cruel and the other "El Fuerte."
There seems to be no doubt that these
guns once formed portion of the arma-
ment of one of Lafitte's vessels, for 1t is Il
we'll known fact that in 1918, while that
pirate chief held possession of Galveston
island, terrible hurricane swept over the
place, driving four of his schooners ashore
on Virginia point, where they were after
ward burned by savages, and drowning the
greater portion of their crews.
During Lafitte's occupation the island
was n regular slave mart, thousands of
Africans being taken from Spanish slavers
by the privateers of the freebooter. The
average price of a healthy negro was 81 Il
pound. These negroes were run into Lou
isiana by land, where they were sold to
planters, the celebrated Bowie family being
engaged in this business, by which they
amassed thousands of dollars

A FATAL QUARREL.
Tho Tragic Tale Of "a Snake That Loved a
Roosfer.

Rooster.
Snakes don't grow very big up our way, -
said Pike county man to the snake editor
Of the New York Sun, "but they grow un-
common smart. A friend of mine, who
lived back in the High Knob country. cap
tured young blacksnake once and made
a pet OF it. The snake got as tame rs q kit
ten and had the run of the premises. One
uay he got egg hungry, and he stole an egg
from under n sitting hen and swallowed it.
The egg was just on the eve of Matching,
and the chick picked it's way out of the egg
as 1T lay inside the snake, and not finding
daylight yet kept on picking until it had
picked hole through the snake and stuck
ITS head out. That was as far as it could
get, and there it stuck.
