MISS KATE WILKINS.

couver. She built a cabin and lived there
for part of a year as required by the land
laws. Now she is the possessor of COM
Portable fortune.
Many of the most successful cattle raisers
OF the West are women. Mrs. Bishop Hiff
Warren is credited with being the wealthiest
woman in Colorado. She is worth $40, COO, 600,
and has made it on cattle with no other busi-
ness advice than that furnished by her own
mother wit. Two rich widows who have in
herited ranches from their husbands are
Mrs. Massey, of Colorado, and Mrs Mary
Easterly, of Nevada. Mrs. Massey went to
Colorado as agent for safe insurance COM
pany married man with 10000 head of
cattle, and, it is said, manages them quite as
well as he did. Mrs. Easterly has not large
herd, but her stock is of fine grade and
she gets good prices for it. She is worth
100000 maybe. Mrs. Iliff, widow of John
Lift, the cattle king, and Mrs. Meredith, of
Illinois, are excellent business women and
making women on stock. Of unmarried
woman there is Clara Dempsey, of
of Nevada, as we'll as Ellen Gala
han, of recent newspaper fame, who are
worth, the one $4,000, the other rather less,
which they have earned from the initial dol
lar themselves, and who are young women to
have made such fair start in the world.
Miss Kate Wilkins is equal partner with
her father and two brothers in the big Will
kins horse and cattle ranch in Southwestern
Idaho. The father and brothers devote them
selves to the ranch side of the business,
while into the sisters hands have been put
for the last six years the outside work, and
she has attended to the sales and shipment
OF both cattle and horses. She doesn't care
for cattle, and her work with them is per-
functory, but all through the West she is
famous for her thorough knowledge of horses,
her quick and excellent judgment upon them
and her skill in their management.
The first restaurant opened in Creede, COL,
was owned and conducted by woman. She
is widow and her name is Mrs. Reid Miller,
On April I, 1881, she reached Creede, too poor
to pay the freighter who brought her here.
In exactly one year toa day she was In receipt
OF an income of $500 month and had a snug
sum In bank. She is now worth SOC, ,00O
Several other plucky women also made for
tunes in the early da.- of Creede. One of
them is Mrs. Elia:C. I-,s;e The latter was
born In Ohio, and when girl taught school
there. Then she married and moved to
Kansas, where, with her husband, she went
through some of the Kansas real estate booms.
They invested in the rew cities and found as
all hut the sharks do ON such occasions, the
Investment permanent but Improbable Mrs.
Love has considerable money locked up in
Kansas prairies. Seven years ago she was
left with one child, a little lass low twelve

amply ab.e to co. For tisee y~.-i.s, she called

All great wars and revolutions have their
inside history, but it is doubtful if any war
in history has so many secret pages as ours,
pages thatare as yetunwritten, or at least un-
published. and which, while they are essen
tial to a thorough comprehension of the
subject it might be as well to relegate to
oblivion forever. The histories of great
campaigns usually center in some military
! leader. The story of our own war could not be
written without full recognition of the civil
and executive authorities, of which Lincoln
was the head and the soul. If we could gather
and set down in proper form the experience of
every private soldierfrom his enlistment to his
leaving the service through death or discharge,
we should have an entirely full and accurate
history of the civil war so far as its motives,
its defeats and its victories were concerned.
But even with this before US there would be
deficiency in the unrecorded story of in
trigue, conspiracy and plot, through which
agencies sought to accomplish the purpose
for which armies were brought into the
field.
There were no less than four conspiracies
to seize and take Richmond without the in
tervention of the Army of the Potomac, all of
which failed, either through the inef1icieney

1t has been noted that the colored children
in the public schools of New York are quite
well-dressed, and as well behaved as the
white children; but after reaching the age of
puberty they seem to lag in the intellectual
race. The same popularity has been noticed
among the young Indians in our reservation

ponGs, so much in stock and the ba!ance In
what were termed liquidation certificates
These latter certificates are payable from the
slow assets of the concern. It will take
some time to pay them of, but they are per-
fectiy good. To show how long it takes to
fix up receivership of this kind, it needs to
be stated that it will probably require two
years to redeem the liquidation certificates.
and until they are redeemed Messrs. Young
and Lozer will remain as receivers. Mr..
Young sold the old National Cordage Co. to
the new corporation, known as the United
States Cordage Co., but he still is engaged in
winding up the former company
1t is usually the custom for receiver. .wher
he has finished his work, to make I'D a de
tailed statement and present it to the court
If it is satisfactory, the court releases the
bondsmen of the receiver and discharges the
receiver from further duty. If the work has
been especially well done the court often al
lows an extra compensation to the receiver.
In the case of the Dixon Crucib!e Cop,pany
Hon. Theodore Runyon, the present United
States ambassador to Germany, was chanceI-
lor of New Jersey, and 80 pleased was he
with Mr.. Young's statement that he praised
him in the highest terms from the bench and
ordered that he be paid an extra amount per
annum for every year, he served. It required
"a number OF years to get that business on its
feet. Young took it when it was practically
wreck, and when he turned it back, through
the court, to the stockholders, it was earning
a dividend of ten per cent In the case of the
Cordage receiyership the settlement will be
made between the receivers and the reorsan-
1zation committee, and the court will practi-
cally have nothing to do with it.
Following the illustration to the end, it NAV
be told that Mr.. Lozer is constantly in atten-
dance at the company's Office in New York,
Ee supervises all the details of the business.
MI. Young generally spends several hours a
day at the office, arriving shortly before noon
and leaving about three O'Clock. He conducts
the big transactions. All checks are signed
by the receivers jointly. They make payments
as and when they choose. They have no one
to consult and no one can criticise their ac-
tions. They are autocrats in their positions.
They have right to pay themselves for SER
vices on account of the total amount allowed
them. OF course, in a case like that of cord
age, the largest manufacturing failure, so Mr.
Lozer says, that New York ever knew, the
lawyers have great deal to do. The receiv.
ers consult them at every step. Receivers
Young and Lozer have two very prominent
counsel to assist them and they pay them
literally. They are John L. CadwaIader. of
New York, and William h. Corbin, of Jersey

The night before the convention assembled
everything was in readiness; every officer
was assigned to his place and all received
their orders from their acknowledged head
quarters at the Richmond House. But the
signal was never given, and the great con-
spiracy died still-born. The cause of this is
attributed to treason within their own ranks,
and Colonel Castleman does not hesitate to
say that the failure was entirely due to the
timidity or treachery of the adjutant-gene
of the Sons Of Liberty. When the time came
to act the men on whom Hines and Castle
man had depended to make the attack on
Fort Douglass, overpower the guard and
release the prisoners, showed the white

been reading and hearing about the new min.
ing camp called Creede, and had developed a
desire to see what camp Of the kind was
like without forming any special resolution
to locate in it until, one day, she was told at
eight O'Clock in the evening that an excursion
train would leave the city at midnight for the
camp, and that friends Of hers we're going.
Without any hesitation Mrs Love decided to
go along. She thought she could .'size up the
camp" in day and come back to her work.
When Mrs. Love reached Creede the build
ing boom was at its height. Carloads Of flum-
Der arrived only to be sold before nightfall.
Claims to lots were jumped daily. Prices for
undisputed lot claims were rising hundreds
Of dollars per day
Mrs. Love found new hotel just open q,
secured room, and began to look around.
She found also. somewhat to her surprise,
number OF friends as well as acquaintances,
among whom were two or three mining ex-
perts who had been long time at the camp
and were we'll posted. Thereupon she began
to Investigate the prospect holes with view
of buying, and instead Of leaving in day, as
she had expected to do, she remained nine
days and bought into three claims. Mean
time she had determined to go into the sta
tionery business while awaiting developments
in the mining interests, and accordingly sent
her resignation to the builders and went to
Pueblo to buy stock. She tells now, with
smile, that her employers wrote that at the
end ofa month, when she had failed in Creede,
she could come back to her old place. How
ever, she didn't fail. The stationery business
proved profitable. She continued investing
in mining claims, and, in partnership with a
friend, has grub-staked three different pros
pectors, whose work proved very profitable.
Mrs. Loves investments in Creede have al
ready netted her many thousands of dollars.

To feel very far away from home
When the dear house is out Of sightP
To want to play with the broken moon
In the star garden Of the skiesP
To sleep through twilight ewes Of june
Beneath the sound of lullabysP
To hold up hurts for all to seer
Sob at imaginary harms?
To clasp in welcome a fathers knee
And fit SO well 10 a mothers arms9
To have life bounded by one duh road,
A wood and a pond, and to feel no lackf
To gaze with pleasure upon a toad
And caress a mud turtles horny back2
To follow the robins cheerful hop,

story. "Hank McGinnis,' he said,
twas the greatest first baseman I sven
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was q mind TO, but he was the
LATEST man in 90 counties, and he
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it. He was allays turnin up with
a spiked foot or a split thumb on some
thin of the kind, an ginerally made out
to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck a manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an toll
him that he wouldn't stand no CRAFTS.
He marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off al
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
Hank, bein lazier than ever that
year, was c~onsiderbul stirred up about
this. He didn't have no likin to play,
but he was hot after the long green, IN
he KEEP playin along an kickin like O
bay steer all the time. Finally he got q
couple of days lay off an went. to see
his mother, so he said. He got back on
