clothing. In Chicago she made enough
money in this way to pay her passage
across the Atlantic to Havre.
In the same way all through her
journey she kept adeirg to her store.
Between Havre and Marseilles she
was held up by highwaymen, but as
she only had 3 francs with her they
allowed her to keep it. After this the
gallant French wheelmen never al
l:'wcd her to travel without an escort.
Her adventures in China and Japan
and Curea. which she reached just in
the height of the trouble, were thrill
ing, but she came through them all
in safety. and is now Oh her hone

neying eastward through the south.

Mississippi she may come further
north. She is taking her time. as she
has yet $500 to earn before she
reaches Boston: out the most eXpen-

If she succeeds she is to receive the
purse that prompted the journey, and
another victory will be scored for the

East Via The Great Lakes.

The Northern Steamship Line is an
important link in the Great Northern
transcontinental system. 1t gives d.
rect connection between Duluth,
Superior, The 500, Mackinac Island,
Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and the
East. practically extending the Great
Northern to within 400 miles of the
Atlantic seaboard. During the year
1895 there are two magnificent steel
built steamships in service, the North
Land having been added for duty this
year to run reverse trips with the
Northwest" There is nothing finer
in the way of accommodations to be
found Oh any other ships afoat. These
steamships make almost railroad time
in the delightful trips between Duluth
and Buffalo. 1t was thought when the
Northwest" started last year that the
traffic would come mainly from the
tourist classes, but owing to the steam
ships superior speed and splendid

chants and others who have eastern
trips in view can make prompt and
speedy time by the lake route and en-
JOY the while one of the finest fresh
water journeys in the country on one
of the finest ships in the world.
The Northwest" leaves Duluth on
Mondays and the ''North Land" on
Fridays at 800 p. M, after the arrival
of the Eastern Minnesota train from
st. Paul and Minneapolis. These
ships are SO regular in their movement
that in the trip of l 900 miles from Du-
luth to Buffalo there is but little varia-
ton in schedule time in arriving and
departing at the different ports. 1t is
an ideal trip and no one should 90 east
and back without using the lake route
one way at least.

there was one thing thatswas still be-

the world On bicycle. The other
diNered with kaA, and the result was
a wager of s2Q0e0 to $4,000 that no
living woman could accomplish the
feat.
The man mixing the bet had certain
conditions ID impose. The trip must
be made in h.een 1lcrths. The PEI
son making 1t must stop and report
at certain places, and must make So
900 during the journey. A great deal
of the trip, it was conceded, should be
made by steamer.
The new woman chosen for the ex-
pertinent was a young woman who
contributes more or less to the Boston
papers under the name Of Annie Lon

has already completed three-fourths of
her journey, having landed at San
Francisco about two weeks ago, neo1.
