Ell with all Possible Eclat. The
Adventures of a Belle.
L. Hazard Wells, the Scrpps- dcRae
correspondent, tells many clever stories
of life with him during the pas5 four
months in the frozen north. The So
ciety of the Klondike is truly cosmnpol-
itan, said Mr.. Wells. A shor. time be-

the forks of B nanza and Eldorado
Clutches by thes two Misses Moloney,
pretty and enterprising Young women,
who recently conducted a restaurant in
I Dawson. 1t was the opening event of
the season among the Bonanza Kings.
Most of the straight women of the camp
were invited. Tin-horn gamblers and

the guests, The affair was conducted
with all possible eclat, an excellent sup

grub IN the camp. Several tddlers fur

"The ball opened promptly at p. NJ,
and proved to be a most enjoyable affair."
A swell meal was served at midnight.
The -four for this banquet was valued a t
S1.25 per pound, whereas the Bradley
Martins only used ordinary flour, costing
