san Francisco Chronicle; A quiet
young girl with demi blond hair, a
square, firm chin and pleasing feat
ures and manner, arrived at the Lick
house yesterday from Tacoma, The
young lady was Miss Fay Fuller,
daul ltvr of Editor n. Il. Fuller Of that
city, and she lately performed a feat
so difficult that it set the people on
both sides of the continent talking
about it. 1t was no less feat than
the climbing OF Mount Tacoma, in
Washington, some 50 miles to the north
east of Puget sound, in the Cascade
range
1t was a formidable undertaking. In
more than 40 years since the county
was settled no woman had ever at
tempted it, and only a few men had
accomplished it, while many had
failed The mountain is grim one,
towering 4,44 feet high, and with
glaciers extending far up from its
base. 1t is said by many experienced
mOuntaineers 10 be the most difficult
of all American mountains to climb.
The plucky lady was willing TO at
tept it, Rev h. c. Smith, K. r. Par
ish, W. O. Amsden were with her,
and Leonard Longmire, a guide Of
Yelm, undertook 10 pilot them.
The ascent Of the first 1000 feet
was made on horseback, amid dense
forests and over dangerous streams,
and partly through natural parks,
known as the Lower Gardens Of Eden
This took four days. Then it got SO

immense bowls, with central, com.

fourtas Of a mile across. Both were
filled with snow and ice, with the
rim around the bare rocks rising in
places 90 feet The steam kept the
rocks bare. Coming down from the
summit, where they could hardly stand
because of the fierce winds, they took
shelter in the crater and examined the
steam jets. These looked like a row of
boiling tea kettles along the ridge.
The party sat on the rocks and were
soon damp with the moisture and par

The Summer Baby.

What can be done to increase the ba-
bies' summer comfort and their life's
safety at the same time, which would
not cost fortune to carry out? A we'll
known physician gives the answer,
Take off their clothes. - Let the little
tots run about in single garment,
keeping them indoors in the middle of
the day and at that time permitting
them to play in darkened room or per-
suading them to indulge in refreshing
nap. The burden of starched clothes
wears out the life of many child of an
overneat mother, while the children of
the very poor, in their tenements and
steaming alleys, have no respite from
the intolerable heat Of their surround
ings other than to get rid of as many as
possible of the dirty clothes that are the
surest means Of transmitting disease as
well as sapping the strength of the un-
happy little one who is forced to carry
their weight from morning until night.

The Kentucky Kind of Woman.

Mrs. w. e. McPhearson, wife of our

wood few days ago and was con-
fronted by a rattlesnake Immediately in
her pathway. His snakeship instructive

his rattles, coiled himself up and ele-
waited his head preparatory to battle.
The brave little woman, instead of
screaming like wildcat and fainting
away, as many women do when the,
see mouse ON the floor, seized the firs
weapon she could lay her hands ON ana
opened the battle and soon dispatched
the brute. She then deliberately took
out her pocketknife, and as dexterously
as skilled hunter would skin deer
took off his hide and brought it home
with her and stuffed it with bran, and
now has it ON exhibition at her resi-
dence. The snake was of the yellow spe-
cies, measured nearly feet in length
and had nine rattles and button. -Ha-

WHY She Didn't Vote.

Massachusetts, women can vote if
they choose for members of the local
school boards. Some choose and some
do not, and some of the reasons why
some of the ladies do not are instruct
i've. A young bride who has been liv-
ing only few months in small man
ufacturing town in the Bay State was
excited and delighted when told she
might vote. She had lived in Rhode Is
land, where no such privilege prevailed.
II happened, though, that, although
young, she was still couple of months
older than her husband, and when, with
q pretty air of Importance, she went to
the registry Office she was dumfounded
when she was formally asked her age.
"But / want to vote-just vote, " she
pleaded.
"But, my dear Mrs. B" said the
registry clerk-who was in her hus-
bands employ-"all the ladies do, and
why should you care of all ladies?"

futtered Indignantly away. Her hus.
band told me this story with great de-
light, which thought shabby of him.

TEACHING THE YOUNG IDEA.
Moral suasion n Powerful Factor, hut There

Suppose you are primary teacher
Do you realize what you must put into
your work If you wish to succeed? You
must be teacher, mother and nurse to
your little charges. You must work
with them during hours and for them
after school You must be ready to
catch an idea anywhere and adapt it to
the needs of particular pupil who may
be dull, Indifferent or disheartened. or
even all three, poor little chapl
You must be nntiring in your vigi
lance over their morals and set them nj

must be ready at any moment to dress

racers or the ownership of marbles, fish.

you can't meet these emergencies, the
average small boy will hold you in con
tempt. If you want to win his love, you
must know something about tho con
struction OF kites, be interested in the
"oneriest lookin" dog that ever invaded
a schoolroom and not be too finicky
about when he washed his hands last il

II you can do all these things and
laugh about them afterward. you will
probably stand high in favor
But there is n more serious considera
tion. You must also have his respect
and this is not always so easily or
pleasantly won.
Great stress has been laid upon the
efficacy Of moral suasion, but there are
times when human perversity rises to
such pitch that the most persuasive
tongue is powerless to enforce obedience
to your will. You may be obliged to
pick mp a shrieking, fighting scrap of
humanity and put him back repeatedly
where You wish him to stay till, worn
out from the struggle, he succumbs and
likes you all the better for having con
quered him There's nothing mean
