A 17-yearold white slave girl ar
rived in Chicago last week. A
twentieth century underground rail-
way helped the child slave to escape
from life Of bondage in South Da-
kota.
Louise Haby, the girl who at last
has found freedom, was clad in the
rough garments Of farm laborer and
showed the simplicity of a Georgia
Cracker" when she arrived In Chi
cago. A single garment of one piece
covered her entire body. On her head
was broad-brimmed straw hat and
on her feet were the heavy brogans of
laborer.
John Mayer an uncle of the girl,
living in Chicago, is the one who &C.
complished her deliverance. His wife
Is a sister to the girls mother. Two
months ago the girl heard Of the ex-
istence Of the two relatives In Chi
cago. Surreptltiously she wrote letter
and contrived to slip 1t into the hands
OF neighboring ranchman going to-
ward the postoftice.
She had been bound to a family
which owned a ranch near Highmore,
8. D., for fifteen years. She had
known no other parents or other life
except what she Cleaned from stray
papers, as her father had sold her
and disappeared when she was two
years old. He Is now believed to be
in South America, but after he re-
ceived $25, the price for which his
two-year-old daughter was sold, he
paid no further attention to his child.
The Chicago relatives of the girl
were astounded to hear of her ex-
istence. The money for her deliver.
ance was quickly secured and for
warded to a neighbor OF the ranch
ers. For distance Of ten miles from
the ranch where the girl lived men
came to assist in her escape.
Considering her privations, the girl
Is unusually intelligent.
"All except two years of my life
have been years Of cruel treatment
and hard work." said the girl. From
the time | was large enough | was

MARTYRS TO VANITY.

Modern martyrs to vanity are
Northumbrian women. The acquisi-
ton Of the pale, ethereal complexion
so much admired by their men leads
them to the practice of form Of
beauty culture which has lately re-
suited in the death Of Jane Mold, who
succumbed the other day to an i'll
ness induced by the habitual con-
sumption of raw starch and uncooked
rice, says Black and White.
1t is well-known practice in the
north, and hundreds of women who
work in the fields have the white
magnolia complexion resulting from
this treatment.
The Northumbrian women have an
other aid to beauty in the shape OF
"ugles"-a variety of large cotton
scoop bonnet made on whalebones
like an umbrella. This they wear as
n protection from the sun and wind
when working out of doors in the hot
sun.
Most of these pallid females, If one
goes up close to them, are observed
to be nibbling starch, thus preserv-
ing this doubtful advantage of COM
plexion by inward and outward pre-
cautions.

HENRY,S TREE THRIVES.
The One He Planted Near Lfncoln
Monument in Chicago 10
Growing Rapidly.

Nothing in the recent ruffling OF
spirits between the United States and
Germany has exerted any undue influ-
ence upon "Prince Henry's tree" IN
lincoln Park. 1t began putting out
leaves as early as any Of its elm neigh
bors to the south and west Of the Lin
coin monument, and at the present
time 1t is greener than any possible In
ternational jenlousies. No local en-
been moved to girdle its trunk; no
former citizen Of the German empire
has attempted to force its growth as
a meaningful omen to Germany. says
the Chicago Tribune.
At once the worst and best that
have been attempted ia n rival Irish
tree" which on st. Patrick's day was
set out in the little plat OF grass which
to the southeast Of the monument cor
responds to the plat in which tho
princes tree fourishes.
The park board was responsible for
the Irish tree for the purpose OF main
tanning the landscape equilibrium: one
OF these plats with tree in 1t and
another without would have boon i'll
balanced. Hence the Irish treo. AS
for this tree, IL ia as green as the
isle which IT represents, lacking only
in symmetry as compared with the
elm tree set out by the prince.
Park policemen, in answering the
frequent questions Of visitors ne to
which tree was set out by the prince,
have a present means OF distinguish
ing the two:
"It's the one that has the red hots'
growing on IT,"
The source Of the witticlsm Hes in
the fact that in preparing the tree for
setting out IL was necessary TO at
tach wires to the main stem OF the tree
at the top, their purpose being to
steady it and bring it to an upright po-
sition. To protect the tree from nbra-
sion Of these wires, they were run
through sections OF rubber hose and
three Of these short pieces Of tubing
still encircle the tree.
These are the red hots OF the joke. 4.
