That In the Stirring Name Of . klon-
dixie Newspaper Edited by
Woman.

Mrs. Clara L. Wright, formerly OF
San Francisco, is the only woman ed
itor and publisher in the Klondike re-
gion. Her paper, the Rampant City
Whirlpool, was established last Jan
uary as monthly publication OF IL
pages. II has already doubled in size
and has a bigger circulation at one
dollar per copy than the entire popu-
lation OF the town, SO many papers
are sent home by the miners.
Mrs. Wright doesn't get her fingers
black missing round with inlxy type;
no, indeed She builds her paper with
two very feminine tools, the type
writer and the sewing machine, with
the sole help of her ten-year-old
daughter Doris.
For some years Mrs. Wright, who is
a widow, had supported her little girl
and herself by stenographic work in
San Francisco. With her sewing ma
chine she made at home all the gar
ments of both.
But she could earn no more than
n bare living. Typewriters' wages
are low, and there was the little gi~l

An IdyI Of the OkObOgee.

THERE were three decks to the
Lulu Jones and as swelling bow
as ever vessel owned. A good part
of the crews duty was TO push this
bow of impertinent peninsulas and to
protect IL against drifting logs. For
the Okobogee writhes In and out
among the swamp lands, and the
heavy masses OF Spanish moss clinging
20 cypress and live oak obstruct the
view, SO that IL is quite impossible for
even the most watchful of wheelmen
20 tell what he may run into next.
This lends an enchantment to the
haunted river which even those who
know it best never cease TO feel.
No one ever knew it better than
Capt. Bicker Jones and his faithful
crew. The captain was white and tri-
umphantly conscious of the fact; his
crew was black and was not sorry;
and though n great gulf was supposed
90 yawn between the captain and his
men, as a matter of fact they were
bound together heart and soul, and, If
occasion had required, would have died
for q common cause. But no such oc-
casion arose, and there is no intention
of dwelling unduly on the subject OF
death. For while there is no denying
that the swamps were somber, and
that the pale hangings of moss sug-
gested some castle of old, yet with a
captain that swore so merrily and a
crew that sang so eternally as the cap
tain and the crew of the Lulu Jones,
even Lethe would have seemed jovial.
The songs OF the crew were original

hearts of these half barbaric men. So

now and then a minor note heavy with
heartbreak IL was no marvel. And IL,
as the boat crept cautiously down the

glow from the blazing pine knot on

Among the pictures by American
artists now being exhibited at the Art
institute is the portrait Of n young wom-
an, the length of whose neck might
cause the swan TO retire in confusion.
A well-known artist and critic pausing
before this picture remarked that mo-
where but in America dc we find such
extended necks. Is this true, and, II
true, what does IL signify? The short
neck has always been accepted as an in
dication of apoplectical tendencies, but
the long neck has deeper significance.
II symbolizes the continued upward
reaching of the American people. As
an indication of aspiration some Ameri-
cans may be proud of their long necks.

IL is about a college president. who il

glass eye. One day this college presi-
dent-it being summer and he on his
vacation-rushedi in from the garden al
soiled and spattered and without his

caller of Importance. She perceived the
special unfitness OF her husbands con-
dition and frigidly said TO him: John,

master Mr.. Blank wishes TO see him."
The college president was also a man
OF great presence of mind. He bowed,
disappeared and soon reappeared,
clothed, eyed and in his proper guise.

MAKING COPY IN THE KLoNDIKE.

growing up to need some day an edu-
cation, and mother love would gladly
put upon her beautiful clothing, would
lavish toll TO save little Doris such a
life of hardships as her mothers.
So in June last year, without her
daughter, Mrs. Wright went TO Daw-
son, and thence pushed on TO Rampant
like the rest, but met little success.
IL was in January, when mining was
stopped by the cold, that she conceived
the idea of issuing paper. There
was no white paper In town, so the
first numbers OF the Whirlpool were
typewriter on reddish brown wrap
ping paper and stitched together on
the sewing machine. Now ell those
early difficulties are passed. The pa
per is printed on durable manila, and
little Doris is there TO help work Off
the increased edition.
Mrs. Wright intends 10 stick by
Rampant City until she has made her
pile. OF course she has some mining
interests which may pan out well.
