Mrs. Alice B. Gossase, of Rapid
City, Can Edit and Print a
Newspaper, Cook a Dinner
or Teach a Sunday School
With Equal Facility.

The Black Hills of South Dakota has
developed one woman Of strong character
and individuality, worthy to stand as a
suitable type Of that section and of the
west Mrs. Alice B. Gossage Is pioneer
of the Hills, having lived in Rapid City
since 1882. She is wholly western, hav-
ing taken up her residence in South Da-
kota In 1870.
Mrs. Gossage Is a newspaper woman
and kind of a mother and adviser to the
whole community, bearing not only her
share Of all public spirited enterprises but
often doing much more than her share.
While fond Of newspaper work, her
calling is not altogether a matter Of
choice with her. Before her marriage she
learned typesetting and worked at her
trade. After her marriage to Colonel j.
B. Gossage, proprietor Of the Rapid City
Daily Journal, she did emergency work in
the Office, such as is invaluable in new
community, where competition and re-
liable help is hard to secure and to hold.
She got samples Of nearly all kinds OF
work in this way, fortunate crcum-
stance, TOR number Of years ago her
husbands health gave way completely and
for a time she was obliged to shoulder
ness or see 1t given up.
Her pluck and experience was severely
tried, but she and the newspaper came
through the ordeal successfully and
things were moving on finely, when
Mr.. Gossage was again able to take up
business. AS his health has never

book and abstract work, both Of which
are very exacting in their mechanical
execution. AS a writer, she has crisp,
epigrammatic style that is clear and en-
tertaining.
Frills in either clothes or ideas are not
to Mrs. Gossages liking, but in spite OF
her Indifference to "style" and fine dress
ing, she is woman Of attractive and in
teresting appearance, wholly lacking
in the masculinity which some of her
unusual mental qualities and forms OF
activity might suggest.
Mrs. Gossage tells a good story on her
self. This spring she managed to get
things arranged at home to run away for
a short vacation to Iowa, where she was
she got some clothes that revealed more
than usual consideration of the whims of
fashion. Starting away with crowd of
politicians bound for the state republican
convention she was more Interested IN
their doings than in her personal appear
ance, and lost her grip containing all her
f1nery. The loss did not seriously disturb
her, and she went on and made her visits
in her travelling costume. On her arrival
at home the grip had turned up as a re-
minder Of the vanity of thinking about
good clothes.
AS an evidence of her feminine quail
ties, Mrs. -Gossage is very domestic in her
tastes and quite as capable in all that
pertains to house management as to busi-
ness. She is an authority on cooking
and on catering estimates. Unfortunates
of all kinds find In her friend and she
is the repository of many sad stories.
She is a strong w. G. T. U. advocate, and
is very active in the support of-its work.
She Is also a loyal club woman, being
vice president of the Current Events
club, one Of the most influential clubs OF
the state federation. --
For nearly twenty years Mrs. Gossage
has been primary Sunday School superin-
tendent, and annually for sixteen years
her class has celebrated the close Of sum

"Mr. Lee got the idea into his head that
he mus go back to his OIL home in Ver-
mont. It was ridiculous, for there wasn't
anybody to 20 to, as his folks moved away
twenty years ago. an the OIL house burned
down soon after. But the more he thought
OF those mountains, the moro he yearned
to see EN-. 1t wasn't people 80 much as
'ssooiations he wanted, seems if. There
was one trout stream that he an another
boy had foun' bout forty years ago an
take ma blood oath they'd never tell where
1t was. The other boy died an Mr.. Lee
figured he was the only livin' soul who
knew where that stream was. It's not
surprisin', for you could make better
creek with hose in less time n it takes
to tell about 1t.

He wouldn't let anybody go with him. for
his memories were all the company he
wanted. When he got to that little town
the frs person he met was an OIL man he
used to know, an he stopped to speak to
him. The OF man didn't know him, for
he's changed some in forty years, but
when he foun' out who he was he laughed.
"'Mind you,' says he, do you s'pose
I'd forget the boy who tied my dog an
cat together by the tails?' I won't forget
you,' says he, so long as I can hear that

ried around the bottom OF the garment.
Wide gauntlet cuffs finish: the coat.
The hat worn with this Is Of light col
ored felt, with fancy crown. It Is very
broad, fiat and round and is trimmed with
a chiffon veil that can be let down over
the face. Altogether the whole costume
is an ideal one for travelling, as it keeps
the dust off the face and likewise pre-
vents it's soiling the garments under
meath.
Another garment somewhat on this or
der is rain coat Of pongee. It Is some
what heavier than the ordinary pongee
garment and is made waterproof, with
buttons all the way down to prevent the
rain from wetting undercoat or suit. 1t is
rather fancy, too, having a triple cape
effect on the shoulders. A patch pocket
adorns it on either side, and they are
fastened with little tabs Of self material,
button adorned. Large self material met
al bound buttons adorn the front Of the
