THE GIRL WHO is LOVED.
She Must he Admired by Those OF
Her own Sex.

Her own Sex.
A woman cannot be said to be truly
attractive or popular unless she is
loved and admired by the members of
her own sex as we'll as the opposite.
She must be welcomed by all, old and
young. male and female. or she cannot
be called an attractive woman without
reservation.
She must be herself, her best self,
at all times and with all people. She
must think and act for herself and eX-
press her own opinions rather than try
10 copy some person she may admire
or who is admired by the lords of crca'
ton. individuality when combined
with polite manner and tact is always
attractive. \ woman's happy, infec-
tious laugh is better than medicine or
advice, and her CHEEKY presence is as
welcome us tie sunshine.

that the men will like her better, and

ing to let other girls have their share
of admiration and attention along with
her. She doesn't NOPE and retreat
within herself if there are no men
about to admire her, but she chccrfully
sets about making the best of matters
without them and making such com
panions as she has happier and bright,
er for her presence.
If she has q grievance. she keeps it to
herself, for woman with a grievance
is very soon voted Il bore. The weep,
ing, fainting, sad eyed young woman is
very much out of style nowadays not
only in novels, but in real life, and the
healthy. happy, independent, cheerful
and sunny girl has totally eclipsed her

by the principal mining properties,
and which even has seeing excur-

places of interest and to repeat the
traditions of suddenly acquired
wealth. which abound in all gold re-

The most notable figure in these
stories of Aladdin wealth is Winfield
Scott Stratton. who became Interested
in a score of the best mines, and
whose income was estimated in the
millions. He became a resident OF
Colorado Springs, and lived to enjoy
MS prosperity about eight years; now
the courts are busy with the remains.
Stratton was a carpenter by trade.
and came to Colorado in 1872. For
twenty years he worked with saw
and plane, but all his leisure moments
were devoted to the study of mineral
ogy. and the practical information
necessary to a miner. For nineteen
wears Mr.. StrattOn was prOspecIOr.
On his arrival in Colorado one OF the
first things he did was to lose $1,000,
the entire amount of his savings, in
fruitless mining venture. This
seemed to stimulate his ambition to
beat this great game of chance. He
worked saved and borrowed during the
winter months, and every summer
found him with pick and blow pipe,
digging in the hills. The last time
he went out before making his lucky
find. his pack burrOs were so poor

cruelty to animals, and it was only
by subterfuge that he escaped to the
hills. But in this eighteenth year OF
fruitless prospecting, he wandered to
the bowl-like valley Of Cripple Creek,
and located a claim on July 4, which
he named independence, in honor Of
the day The following year this
property was incorporated for $4,000
600. This was the beginning of his
lucky ventures. He plunged heavily
in all Cripple Creek enterprises, and
fortune smiled upon him. In the
days of his wealth he was openhand-
