FORTUNE AND HUSBAND.
Both Were Won by Poor Dress
maker who Went to DswsOn to
Improve Her Condition.

A few days ago Mrs. Joseph Beck,
of Dawson City, n. w. T., started home
from San Francisco TO see her hus-
band. Incidentally there is story
connected with the trip.
In the fall of 1897 Mrs. Beck was .
widow named NOVEL;. She had been
left in poor circumstances by the death
of her husband a few years before,
and had taken up dressmaking for a
living. Her son Walter had gone to
Alaska with the first rush, and late in
1897 Mrs. NOVEL; decided that she
might do better at Dawson than where
competition was so sharp. Friends
told her to go; that with her intelli-
gence and business capacity she need
not fear failure.
But when Mrs. NOVEL; reached Daw-
son she learned that a good book

keeper was needed by Joseph Beck
rather worse than the women needed
hats and gowns. She took the place,
and paid such attention TO the miners
affairs that he discovered all at once
that she would be a most acce ptabde
partner. Mrs. NOVEL; thought so, too,
and they were married in 1898.
Luck came with the bride. The Old
Dominion mine which Beck owned was
sold for an enormous price. Claim No.
II, on Gold Run, which is still owned
by Beck, has not been touched, but he
has refused 100000 for its prospects.
He is regarded as one of the richest
men in Dawson to-day.
Mrs. Beck's trip to California was
for the purchase of 900 acres OF land
near Red Bluff, to which she and her
husband will retire within two years.
A palatial house is going up on this
property, and the farm is being
stocked with blooded cattle. AS me-

suited to the designs of the gowns of
the coming season.
Applications of lace, like ribbons
can hardly be overdone. They are one
of the most fashionable methods of
decoration in a season devoted to elab-
crate decoration. Lace applications
may be had in a countless number of
designs, but a new lace trimming con-
sists ia square applications of that fab
ric. They form a sort of frame as the
interior is absent. They are sold ready
woven in that shape and cover a space
of about six inches, the frame itself be-
ing from two to 21a inches broad, both
edges of which are scalloped. These
are appliqued on skirts a little above
the hem, or as panels at the sides, in
which case they are graduated in size.
The square space left in the center is
crossed by two or three bands of mar

Some Little Hints on

worn quite short, descending but two

less often accompanied by chemisettes
than waistcoats, which have close-ft.
ting fronts Many of such waistcoats
are fashioned in white cloth or flannel
in which an allover design is stamped
out; they are lined with colored sill
forming transparent, and are very
pretty.
Tell them also to use velvet ribbon
and lots of it. They can scarcely gel
too much. Black velvet ribbon, il

kissing queen Victoria.

Apropos of presentations is an an
ecdote illustrating the queens tact
and kindness. An American debutante,
who was both young and pretty, in
making her court curtsey committed
the error of kissing the queen. In
stantly realizing her blunder, the
poor girl nearly tainted, and hurried
home in a most distressed state of
mind. Next day the American min
lister was asked by her parents to
present her apologies through the
proper channels. simultaneously there
reached the legation a note for our
minister from her majesty's secre-
tary stating that, compromising the
young Americans embarrassment,
Victoria sent her an invitation to a
state dinner. Needless to say that
this Kindness not only silenced add
verse criticism but gave our fair
countrywoman an open sesame to the
London season.-AnRlo-American.

CARRIED OFF A GIRL.
Last Depreciation of the "Great
Bear Man" Of Texas.
Monster Carried It's Victim 20 n FOUL
Smelling Cave and struck Her
with n CIub-F&illed by Cow
boys After n Fight.

A young lady out in Marble Falls,
Tex, was carried of by "bear man"
and returned home unhurt to tell the
tale.
The KickaPoo Indians of this region
have long believed in a great ''bear
man" who rules all the bears of the
mountains. Miss Ramie Arland, the
heroine of this thrilling adventure, be-
heves her encounter was with the
chief bear himself.
Ramie Arland is a pretty girl and
the acknowledged belle of Marble
Falls. She has always been q skeptic
as to the existence of the "bear man."
The remarkable story she tells has,
however, gone far to convince the most
skeptical.
The bear man" in this case VEN
tured almost to the back door of the
Arlands, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. Ramie went out recently
early one evening to gather her flock
OF sheep, which were grazing near by.
This was common occurrence and
her absence was not noticed by the
family until her mother heard her
daughter scream wildly a short dis
lance from thu house. She rushed to
the door, The screams were repeated,
but this time accompanied by the
scream Of a panther.
The mother seized gun and rushed
into the woods, but could find no trace
of her daughter. She returned to the
house and. collecting hunting party,
searched the woods all night. No trace
of the missing girl could be found.
IL was not until the next day that
a hunter, wandering in the woods
several miles from Marble Falls,
found Ramie Arland aimlessly walk
ing about. He helped her home,
where she quickly recovered from
her experience.
Il was walking along a narrow
trail" she says, in telling her story,

appeared in front of me. He quickly

looking animal, running on four feet,

monster in some way resembled a
human being, and it flashed across
my mind that / was confronted by

before attempting to steal away"
When the settlers and cowboys
heard this strange story they at once
set ont in the direction of the Moon
mountains for the purpose of de-
stroying the monster.
1t ground its teeth together, and,
while pounding it's breast, it would
roar and scream like a panther. II
was now so apparent to the hunters
that the thing was at least human
in shape that they hesitated to fire
upon it. While they were deliberat-
ing it suddenly bounded with rage
straight toward the astounded hunt
ers. They were compelled to kill it
in self-defense.
