The wisepoor man who bought
a farm on easy payments. and
the wise manufacturer who er-
ected factory in Northern Wis
consin a few years ago, when
times were not as prosperous as
they are now, are reaplng their
reward. Northern Wisconsin is
feeling expansion in the truest
sense of the word. Opportuni-
ties have not passed, by any
means. There are still thousand
of acres Of rich hardwood timber
lands awaiting the settler as
we'll as the manufacturer which
can be obtained at low figures

The transportation facilities
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin

A Story From Alaska With a Pleasant Ter.
mination.

This Is the story of Alexander Nc
acters in the Yukon Valley. He is a
great, numbering Scotchman-born in
Nova Scotia-who up to the time Of
the Klondike discoveries never had an
idea of winning a greater fortune than
that of n day laborer. He worked
from mining camp TO mining camp all
along the northwest. So slow was he
and so awkward in his work-his feet
entirely in his way and his bulk Il mis-
fit for the size of prospect holes-that
he was reputed never to be able TO
hold Il job for longer than three
weeks. He was at Dawson shortly af-
ter the first locations were made on
the Klondike. He went out with num-
erous stampedes, but never arrived in
time to locate paying claim. Finally
he stumbled across a newspaper man
named Hunt. who had claim on
Bonanza Greek. Hunt was discouraged
sary to develop it. This claim Melon
aid purchased for three hundred dol
lars and set about developing it in his
usual slow and aimless fashion. Find
ing the claim fairly rich, he put OH IA
force of laborers and in Il few weeks
had taken out eighty thousand dollars.
This sum he used Immediately to pur-
chase other claims. All that year, he
bought right and left everything of
any promise that was offered to him,
often mortgaging the claims thus
bought to buy still other ground.
Many of the ventures came to naught,
but few gave such phenomenal re-
turns that he speedily took the rating
of a millionaire Out of one claim on
Ell Dorado Greek he shoveled twenty
thousand dollars in twelve hours. To-
day he is probably worth between two
and three million dollars.
Many others came to success even
more suddenly than Mcdonald. One
man on Bonanza Creek took out ninety
pounds of gold-about twenty-five
thousand dollars-in n single day.
pan of gravel on I'll Dorado Greek
yielded its lucky owner twenty-one
hundred dollars. This same man
cleaned up three thousand ounces Of
dust and nuggets from his first weeks

Brooke started to answer, but Miss

something about knowing Bolton.

plank to be put down, Brooke decided
that he might as well give Farrar the

ON THE CARE OF BABIES.
Suggestions by Mere Man That Mothers
Should Head.

So many conflicting rules have been
something ought to be done at once to
set mothers on the right track. OBJ
tain first a normal healthy baby. Go
to first-class department store, IL
other avenues fail. Diet with baby
is the main thing. For breakfast, say
few griddle cakes with a couple of
hard-boiled eggs. For luncheon, any
meat and vegetable with apple dump
lings, and rousing cup Of coffee to
top off with. For dinner-always give
the baby his heaviest meal just before
retiring-a thick soup, fish. an en-
tree, n roast and cold bottle, and any
good wholesome dessert, say deep dish
apple pie.
Should the baby be restless in the
night, don't take him up. This is the
mistake made so often by erring
mothers, who think they know it all.
Science knows better. He cannot cry
too much. Should he make too much
noise and keep the household awake,
tie towel over his face and lock him
up i'm distant room. Above I'LL things
never give in.
Few people understand how to give
the baby his bath-which is really
quite simple. Fill the tub with water,
and always use a bath thermometer.
If after ten minutes immersion. the
thermometer registers below zero, you
may then know that the water Is a
trifle too cold. Great care should be
taken not to let the baby take cold.
so the bath should be given as rapidly
as possible. Strip the baby and take
him by the heels and souse him in
head first, then swing him back and
forth through the water ten or fifteen
times, slapping him vigorously to in
sure a good circulation. Lay him on
the floor and rub him vigorously with
tin nutmeg CRATER, and then put him
to bed in warm room, with buffalo
robe over him and about two addi-
tional feet of California blankets.
When this is done, leave him to rest
for twenty-four hours.
He will need the rest.-Tom NJ "".

EXAMPLES SET FOR SUMMER COPYING.

Trails tend to sweep directly from the
belt, though many curve over the back
first, and i'm some cases the train does
not spring till point about back of the
knees is reached. Some variation of the
boero or eton shows in half Of the new
dresses. Even when the bodice is all one,
an effect Of bolero or eton is accomplish
ed by trimming. Few skirts are plain.
There are few overdresses, but the double
skirt, the upper one open, inlaid with
lace or stenciled to show the under, is
usual.
Delicate color schemes prevail in EN-
broidered gowns of white or delicately
shaded cloth and the liberality and rich
ness of the embroidery are remarkable.
The gown shown in the accompanying
small picture was illustrative. Its skirt
was peated ali around and was untrim-
med. The bodice was embroidered all
over in pale lavender, and the layer yoke
was pale lavender taffeta stitched and
embroidered in white. This bodices jabot
arrangement was not "a typical one ex-
cept in the sense that equally pretty nov
elites are as plentiful as ingenious de-
vices can make them. 1t was plcatcd
white chiffon held by black velvet bands.
Two other cloth gowns appear in these
pictures, and are informatory as to what
fashion leaders are taking up. A mixed
gray cloth comes first in the next illus
tration. Black embroidery and black
braid trimmed it, and velvet was gather
ed for its bodice belt. The other cloth
gown was the second model of the con-
GLIDING illustration, and was found in
very delicate putty shade. On the skirt
was stray embroidery in very pale green.
while the embroidery Of the bodice was

shirred rose chiffon. Sleeves and belt
were of the plain goods. The difference
between these two belts was wide, but

with scroilings of the panne surah and
traclngs of scarlet lay over the shoulders
or this bodice. Black velvet bows and
straps held together the edges of the
blouse. The general effect of the gown
was simple, the colors made it suitable
for almost any occasion, while the dash
OF brilliant scarlet and the touch of black
made it distinguished. The panne surah
the artist sketched appears at the left in
the last picture. Ii was white figured
with scarlet. On the bodice were vest
or white India lawn, and revers of the
lawn embroidered in black and edged
with narrow black lawn beading.
Cotton weaves so finished rs to present
a silken luster are being pushed nightly,
and it is claimed that they will wash
without losing the lustcr. Robes ready
for making up come in these materials.
They are generously elaborated with tuck
ing, insertions and founces of lace and
are very dainty They are so far from
expensive that even if they do not look
lust like it, after the tub. they should
wear long enough to pay for themselves
before they need washing. One Of these
cottons in corn color was the foundation
Of the third gown of these four, a triple
skirt Of all-over embroidered linen com
ing over it. With this went a bolero of
black taffeta and corn colored lawn

Taffeta is returning to general favor
both as a dress goods and as a material
to combine with other stuff. Because of
the fashionableness of black and white
combinations, a deal of it is black. The
last dress in this group was black taffeta,
appliqued deliberately with pink flowers
and green leaves. Yoke and collar were
green silk stenciled to show white be-
meath and outlined with crystal embroid
cry. Sash and rosettes were white silk

SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES.
Basutos Employed by the British on Military
Railroads.

The British are employing large
number of Basutos TO repair and lay
the railroads in the Orange Free State
that are essential to the advance OF
the army and the maintenance of com
munications with the base Of supplies.
Thus the natives are now to partici-
pate. for the first time OH a large scale,
in work that Is related to the war
The Basutos have no friendly senti-
ments for the Orange Free State Beers
who Incorporated in their republic a
part Of Basutoland. The Zulus have
always hated the Transvaal Beers,
with whom they had many hard fight
in what is now Natal, and by whom
the Matabele branch of the Zulus were
driven north of the Crocodile River.
The Basutos and Zulus are the strong
est native elements i'm South Africa.
These tribes supply large part of the
manual labor throughout South Africa,
but their efficiency falls below that of
the average American negro. They
have not reached the same plane of
civilization, their wants are fewer and
more easily supplied, and after term
of service they usually wish to return
to their homes for long period of idle
ness; so II has been found necessary to
supplement them by the importation
of thousands Of Indian coolies. Still,
they are by far the largest element in
the labor market Sixty thousand of
them were at work In the Witwaters-
rand gold fields when the war began;
all the labor In the diamond mines Is
supplied by the natives, and they are
widely scattered at service through the
towns and over the sheep and cattle
farms.
They are prisoners as long as they
work In the diamond mines, for one of
the rigorous measures taken to prevent
diamond stealing Is to keep the native
laborers In a compound from which
they never emerge during their term Of
service, except TO march, under escort,
to and from their work. But the South
African natives are progressing. and
their value as factor In the develop
ment Of the land Is growing.
