WOMAN'S WORLD.
SIZE g SAID 70 sE THE t4ANDsoMEsT
WOMAN IN ALASKA.

Baii From Mountain Tops - How
She Saved Her Hat-suRragfsts at
Windsor - First Women's Club In
ENGLAND.
The handsomest woman in all Alaska
on the American side of the boundary
line IS Mrs Harry J. Collins of Ram
part City, says Seattle correspondent
Her maiden name was Nettie Hotchkin,
and Troy. N. Y, was the place of her
birth.
Her father, A. L. Hotchkin, was fer
many years one of the best known pub
lie men in the famous city of collars
and cuffs Although he was sheriff and
treasurer of the county for several terms
and occupied many other important
county positions, he was even better
known as the organizer and manager of
the famous Haymaker Baseball club
Mr.. Hotchkin moved to Seattle ten
years ago. and is now living at Seabeck,
one OF the most beautiful little hamlets
at the base Of the proud Olympic range
Of snow clad mountains In this state.
His daughter married Harry ]. Col
Inns, son of William Collins, who was
one of Troy 8 wealthiest architects. Mr..
and Mrs Collins came to Seattle about
the same time as Mr.. Hotchkin and
made it their home, with the exception
of short time spent at Los Angeles
and Seattle, Wash. until year ago
last June, when Mr.. Collins became q
victim of the Alaska gold fever.
IF you go, / go too. /" said Mrs. Col
Inns. and. despite the protests of her
friends that she would never come out
Of that terrible country alive, she per
sisted in her determination Her hus-
band was pleased to think she had the
courage to face the trials and hardships
certain to be encountered

DRAINAGE OF ROADS.

Durability Depends on Speedy Re-
moval of Water.
In road building the chief effort
should be toward securing the best
drainage, as water and dirt are bound
to make mud. A dry road is usually a
good road or will become good road
in time by constant usage The excep-
ton which proves the rule Is the sandy
road. A sandy road is a dry road but
not often good road, says s. d. Tall
man In The Pneumatic.
To assist the drainage the road
should be first crowned and then about
four to six inches OF crushed stone,
depending upon the amount Of travel,
put on, gradually decreasing little In
thickness as IT approaches the cutters;
then heavy steam roller passed over
Il two or three times to set It; upon
this about three or four inches Of finer
crushed stone should be placed and a
steam roller passed over It again. A
great deal Of care should be taken not
to have the road fat ON top. This hard
stone dressing forms almost water
proof covering that will last for years
If properly taken care Of each spring
by putting on some fine crushed stone.
This covering will let the water
drain freely to the cutters and leave a
comparatively dry road in a few min
utes after a heavy rain. This is very

a BaIl From mountain Tops.

At the Texas Colorado Chautauqua,
held recently at Boulder, Colo, the adj
dress of welcome was given by 7. M.
Patterson, editor of the Denver News
In reviewing the progress Of the last
half century he alluded to the advanced
position which should be accorded to
women and said:
1T was only yesterday that woman
was recognized as the equal of man be-
fore the law-not yet everywhere, but
here and in some neighboring states It
was but the starting of the ball OF
equal justice from the mountain tops
which is gathering speed and power as
it reaches the plains and rolls toward
the oceans. It was the response Of Colo
rado's chivalrous men to the earnest APP
peal Of woman for fair, free field t.
women who. driven by necessity, musl
enter into the struggle with hand and
brain for daily bread The men said:
Women bear and rear the children;
they contribute their equal share OF
taxes; they do the gentler posting Of
battalions for attack and defense; they
are the weaker and are handicapped IN
life's struggle with the bondage they
have borne through all the ages and
prejudices begotten Of weakness and de-
tendency. There is but one royal road
to woman's mission, and that is the
ballot
ssAnd the men Of Colorado gave them
the ballot And now, with influences
and dignity as their handmade they
are swiftly and surely widening the
field which women may occupy with
men as breadwinnera They are learn
ing thai labor Is dignity. AS this spirit
rises the walks Of sin are avoided The

How she Saved Her Hat.

There was woman down town the
other day who wanted, above all things
an umbrella. To buy an umbrella is an
easy thing, but there never was wom-
an who would not feel that it was a
wicked waste of good money to buy an
umbrella when she did not need it and
when there were a Thousand other
things for which she would like to
spend her money.
This woman had both good sun
umbrella and rain umbrella; hence it
was to fly in the face of Providence to
get another one of either kind. Still she
had an errand up town, she could not
go home, and she had on brand new
hat and it certainly looked as if it was
going to rain Then she settled herself
down to think There is u6Gnrflss isiuc eli
one cannot do when it has to be done
and little brain work is put to The
matter in hand
81 have it, " she said at last. sI shall
go to an umbrella shop and ask them
to let me hire an umbrella for the day !"
Have you the nerves' queried the
diffdent man.
Certainly, answered the woman
firmly, her thoughts intent on the need
Of protection for that new hat. But she
did not feel altogether as confident as
she seemed.
''Could you she began at the UNI
brella shop mean have come on a
rather strange errand Il that is have
you got any old umbrella that could
hire to go up town." she burst out
finally, feeling as If she had been caught
stealing sheep and fumbling for card
The clerk took it all quite as a matter
Of course.
1--WE have no umbrellas to let, - he
said politely, ''but If you go into the
hotel next door they have them to let
there =
Certainly" said the man in the
hotel 'sYou put down 81 e5, and when
you bring the umbrella back the dollar
Is returned This is not new business
We have been doing it for 90 years .
Certainly repeated the man at
home. "They have umbrellas at many
of the hotels. It is side issue, bust
ness carried on by the porter often, ]
think It is particularly for the benefit
of commercial travellers imagine. "
Then the woman drew long breath
to think Of the many things in the
world she had yet to learn. but she
blessed that faculty in her which the
man had called nerve" which had
tempted her to do something unusual
to save her money and her hat as well
