To KIondIke-or TO jail.

Elmer Ford is on his way to the state
of Washington, en- route, if he is to be
/ believed, to the Klondike. This is not
of itself an event OF enough importance to
cause that end of the country to tip down
on his approach. In fact the most inter
est centers in the manner of his taking
off, y so to speak. Elmer is u gay and fes-
/ tive bachelor, or maybe, grass widower.
Some time ago he learned through the
medium OF some matrimonial paper, that
a lone heart way out in the state of Wash
/ ington signed for just such parsonage as
/ he appraised himself to be. Accordingly,
| Elmer ouened up communication with
i tue disconsolate one and after great deal
/ of heart futtering accepted an invitation
/ to drop in and see the distant object OF
| his affection. He confided also TO parties
\ here that condition nf the bargain was
| that he must first make his fortune In the
| Klondike, but as love knows no such
slight encouragement as this, Elmer
readily signed the compact He boosted
| that he had saved $1,000 with which To
make the trip, and since this was OF
course true (for Elmer said SOL j. g.
Mann cannot quite understand why he

that on Tuesday night he had bought a
ticket for Seattle, Wash, and departed,
taxing the clothing with him. When he
boarded the cars he was attired in con-
ventionsl overals and was at first taken
for one OF our Graded school boys, but he
had his wedding outfit tucked away on

Probably one-thlrd or the letters l.
receive are from women who wish to
start a woman's club, and the first
question is always, How shall We do il?
OR, How shall / do it, for the idea seems
to originate with one woman ineach
communityfl No question could be
more difficult to answer than this one,
as the organization of any club de
psnds largely on the woman who is its
first leader If she fails to interest, or
to inspire, then the club is usually
failure from beginning TO end.
Now. the ideal organizer of a club is
very difficult TO find Many women who
are quite capable Of planning a good
programme fail utterly when it is
question of lead rship. and do not put
into the club that spirit of cooperation
without which any such organization Is
destined to a speedy dissolution. There
is probably no line of work in which in
dividuality counts for so much as that
of organizing clubs. / know a club wo-
man in one of the eastern states who
has been instrumental in organizing
clubs. and vt she has never assumed
the personal leadership because she
knows her limitations. She interests
some woman of the locality who is
natural born leader. She arouses the
interest of such a woman an the club
movement. gives her plan of work,
encourages her. helps her with the first
meeting. and by her cooperation and
advice whenever it is needed and leaves
the woman and the locality to work
out their own salvation. At least fif-
teen clubs owe their inspiration to this
woman. Strange to say. each club
would be surprised beyond measure
wire they to be told that this IS the
case.
There are few people-.hey are the
rare and delightful exception-who un-
dersiand their speciality. and fewer
and rarzr are these who comprehend
their limitations. Now the success Of
my friend in her. work of club extension
was hat she understood her limitation.
1t is rot every woman who concsiyes
the tGsa of organizing a club who is
capable Of being the president of club,
and often the instigator Of an idea is
the very last person to be a president.
She may be made of too fine stuff to
maxi good president. There are such.
She may be incapable of what Carlyle
calls the executive brutality" which,
under a softer name. Is an essential ele-
ment in the qualities which go toward
the makeup Of a good leader. The wo-
man who feels that she cannot lead
should never attempt to do so. Let her

only five days differercs 10 their ages
and as birthdays are alwa,s suspicious
events few Of their fr.cn's decided to
throw off any suspicion that would be
likely to arise by having the surprise BE-
tween the two birthdays. Accordingly
about fifty young people gathered at the
house while the unsuspecting were at

mems had been made where by Mr..
Newell was enticed t. the house also
and when the two appeared they were
taken completely urawaIes. but wee
soon themselves fgsin. Many novel
features were introduced during the
evening. The fairer sex lad chains and
padlocks claspel about their waists
and patiently awaited the sterDer sex
to come to their deliveiance. In the
meanwhile the gentlemen had been
furnished wi h the necessary article and
had gone fishing; each caught a dainty
box filed with tempting delicacies. At
tached to each box was a key and the
fishermen soon started on a search for
their lady partner; having found her. a
cozy corner vas then sought and every
enc knows the rest. This being birth

a ticket which entitled him to a
present upon piesentation. Mrs. Stevens
and Mr.. Newell were the holders of

very pretty combination foot rest. Alta
ats hour the guests departed wishing
the two many more bright and happy
birthdays.
