An Excitinr RIM

The following incident In Lord
Wolscley's military career is record
ed as having taken place when he was
In his twenties, and had been in the
British army three years. He
speaks of it himself as the most ex-
citing experience of his life. 1t was in
Burma. and Wolseley was In charge of
a small detachment. During the ad-
vance he had the bad luck to fall into
deep hole, and when he crawled out
found himself on the enemy's side. As
he emerged he was met with such a
shower of bullets that he slid back In
short order. After few minutes he
came out again, and, amid vigorous
volley, ran for his life. He was near
ly 800 yards from the British line, and
was hit three times before he reached
a place OK safety.-Youth's Compan-

Al the corner store that afternoon
he told cold-weather stories and
cracked jokes, while he nursed his
frozen nose and cars. But that night
after his mother had gone to bed, he
sat long before the fire, with a letter
"a letter yellowed by age-in his
hand, reading and rereading.
Dearest Tom," it said, "I have been
thinking Of what you said last night

He pushed HIS chair back from the

murmured. ''Mother'd been alone else,

his eyes.

WEARS MALE ATTIRE
Odd Occupations Pursued by Miss
Nellie Pickerell.

Has Busted Bronchos and
IL Crack Shot.

Nellie Pickerell, a 19-year-old young
woman living near Seattle, Wash,
dresses like q man, works like man.
and fights like man. She is the DR..
: Mary Walker OF the Pacific coast. Her
ambition IS to be a prize fighter. When
she wears dresses she is Nellie Pick
erell. When she dons trousers she be-
comes Harry Livingstone, and insists
on being called by that name. So
strange is the PisJSerell-Livingston
combination that it offers strong proof
of the double identity, which many
psychologists of the, day, insist upon.
SSAsS Harry Livingstone, dressed in
dudfsh clothes, a silk hat, and carrying
a cane, Miss Piekerell attends all the
prize fights and fistic encounters in
Seattle. So far as is known, she has
never taken the part of principal, but
she is good boxer, very agile and wiry,
and withal has the science that counts
for as much as muscle. She has acted
as a second number Of times at
fights, and acquitted herself creditably
from a prize fighting standpoint. Not
long ago, while acting as second, she
was recognized by man in the crowd,
who yelleds
Cit on to de girl in pants!"
Miss Pickeren jumped into the ring
and invited the offender to 'come on
and get the worst punishment you ever
had. lean whip you in three minutes

who were keen FOR an impromptu mill,
Nellie's latest escapade took place
last Saturday evening, when she was
arrested for scerching and riding her
bike without touching the handle bars.
For this she was fined two dollars,
but, not having any change In her
vest pocket, she left the bicycle in the
tender care of her captors at police
headquarters.

family came to Seattle from South

William the Conqueror landed for the

ticipated in round-ups with enthusi-
asm. She became such an adept at rid
ing that she was selected for difficult
posts and could beat any of the men at
busting" a broncho or breaking a
stampede. No restraint was placed
upon her actions by her parents; she
was allowed to do exactly as she
pleased. She learned to shoot, and to-
day, with 22-caliber rifle, she can
smash three out of five glass balls
thrown in the air in rapid succession at
a distance of 20 PAGES.
Since Miss Picl1erell came to Seattle
a revolver has displaced the rifle and
mans bicycle the tricky mustang
OF the ranch. She has relegated her
COW puncher's clothes to the junk shop
and taken to wearing tailor-made coats
and trousers. She always dresses fash
ionably, wears the latest style Derby
hat, alternates between a sack and a
cutaway coat. and is careful to have
pronounced crease in her trousers.
She seldom associates with girls.

not. She's merely sort of sporty

and swing are the same as a mans,
but she shows her feminine vanity by
insisting, as do her friends, that she

she is tall, has dark brown hair, and
; brown eyes that flash with reckless
abandon and defiance She is head

wears her hair short, and is often seen
in her favorite barber shop getting a
haircut, and joshing the barber.
When she works, Nellie Pickerell is
Harry Livingstone, and acts as a hotel
clerk and bartender. Pickerell-Living-

She has worked in two saloons, and it
is said that while she was there the
proprietor and his customers were ig-

AffemDf at BURGLARY.

Last Sunday night an attempt was
made by some thief to enter the store of
Hames 81 Lipscomb, which came very
near proving successful. The iron bars
had been cut from the bottom Of one
of the front windows, and the bars bent
back and two panes of glass removed
making hole large enough for man
to enter. 1t happened that Mr.. Lips
comb was passing by the store, and dis
covered the work of the burglars lie
must have come near catching the fel-
low at work, us an entrance had not been
effected, Mr.. Lipscomb, We think,
made a mistake, when he at once set
about remedying the break. Had he
passed on as if he had not discovered it.,
aud Immediately summoned the police,
they could, no doubt, have caught the
thief in the trap he had made.
