thousands of people here who do.
She has set an example that many a

Six years ago-.this girl, then 13
years old, went to Tao oma with her
mother from New York. Times had
been hard in the East, and the
mother, a widow, saw no apparent
escape from the slough of despond
into which she was steadily sinking.
Like many others she looked tc the
West. and, gathering her little pos
sessions together, started to make
new home there
Bus in Tacoma the mother found
it impossible to make both ends
meet, and SO it became necessary, q
year or two after her arrival, to
place mortgage on the little cot
tage which she had bought with the
money still remaining, in order that
she and her young daughter might
keep the wolf from the door. Be
fore many months the mortgage
falls due.
1t is tbi, that has spurred Bessie

other woman who has come Klon-
dikeward has a nob!er object to at

she is making the perilous journey,
not 60 much for the gold as for
what the gold will bring. She has
come TO cave her mothers home
She hopes to be able lift the mort
gage from the little Tacoma cottage
She has come gold hunting moi
merely from the avaricious desire tC
possess riches. but rather to insure
to her mother the comforts she
seems destined to have to give up
I have heard many expressions o.
admiration for her pluck, but wha,
has most impressed everybody il
her heroic unselfishness. If Mis-.
Lassarge doesn't have many an offel
of friendly hand along the rough
hard trip to the diggipgs, it won
be because her nerve Is not appre
ciated, and nerve on the Chi!coo
trail just now is at premium.
II think it is great deal better,
