EXHIBITING COLUMBUS

Advices come that the government
of Santo Domingo, or the push there
which seems to be it, has offered to
exhibit the remains Of Christopher
Columbus at the st. Louis fair for a
consideration Of 100000. The New
York Commercial offers the sugges-
tion that the st. Louis fair board
should be cautious about this matter
for well known reasons. In discuss
sing the matter the Commercial says:
That is all right, but which christo-
pher Columbus is this? There seems
to be more than one Of him. If mem
Ory serves us right, there was a
Christopher Columbus-or handful
of dust that was supposed to be he

WHY GIRLS DISLIKE Aousswosk

WHY GIRLS DISLIKE AoOSEWoRf
The eysr-pressing problem OF how tC
get good domesties seems TO be press
In with unusual weight upon tn,
housewives just now. says the Sar
Francisco Examiner. At the bottom
the problem Is a social one
Most girls who have to be seif-support-
ing prefer the store and the factory
TO housework. not because the money
rewards and material comforts offered
by the latter are less, but for the
reason that domestic service entails a
surrender Of personal liberty and social
descent.
II is absurd, Of course. that in re-
public all honest work should not be
deemed equally honorable. but the
spirit of caste has been brought over
from the old world, and American
girls have an lnvincible repugnance
against confessing themselves inferior
TO anybody. So they avoid occupations
which would cause them to be looked
down on" however unjustly and fool
ishly.
The girl who works In store or
shop has fixed hours. Her days toll
done. she Is her own mistress, precise
ly as workman In his own master.
II is not so with the domestic. In the
great majority OF cases the employer
insists on regarding her relations 10 her
servant as feudal She feels, somehow.
that she Is the girls guardian, and has
the right to supervise her incomings
and outgolngs. to question her about
what she does In her leisure. and to be
her mistress" as well as employer.
All this meddling Is usually kindly
meant, but none the less II reduces the
girl from the status Of free employee
to that Of a vassal.
The time win come when houseworlS
win be done on the same terms as other
work That Is. the employer win pay
so much for so many hours service in
the household. just as the employer
now pays for the services OF the car
penter. or plumber, and will no more
think OF having anything to say about
the private concerns OF the house,
worker than she now does of inqulrlng
into the personal affairs of the carpen-
ter or plumber.
And when that time comes--when
the houseworker ceases to be the pro-
tege Of the mistress, subject to pat
ronage, cross questioning and reproof
as TO matters beyond the work paid
for, the servant girl problem" will
solve itself. Then caste prejudice will
no longer have food to feed on, for the
holseworker will be independent as
any other worker.
The custom Of girls living at home
and going to the employers house 10
do their tasks, as girls go to the store
and factory, is a growing one, and
should be encouraged. 1t has It's in
but 1t makes for per-
sonal freedom, for emancipation from
the condition of the servant" liable to
call at all hours, and to a superinten-
dence Of action which while In many
instances doubtless salutary neverthe-
less causes that dislike for housework
which is so deeply felt among girls
who have a natural American desire to
belong to themselves.

then cold, drizzling rain began
to fall. I took in my belt three
holes and started out once more.
This time it took over an hour for
me to reach my starting point. All
through that long and hungry day
I wandered in a circle through
those woods, until at last, quite
late in the afternoon, [ somehow
stumbled on a we'll worn deer trail
and followed it to the opposite
shore of the lake from our camp.
Weary. footsore, wet to the skin
and almost famished, l started to
tramp around that lake. The dis
lance across the water was not
more than half mile, but as it
was surrounded by swamp that
had to be skirted, I had to travel
four times that distance. But
with supper in sight and visions
of night passed in the woods
vanishing, I struck out with a
cheerful heart.
Suddenly [ was startled and
aroused from my dreams of food
to come by loud snort, and to my
disgust big buck sprang up from
behind a fallen tree not ten PAGES
from me. Which of us was more
surprised I can't say for sure, but
| I think [ was. The buck seemed
cool and collected. He stood and
eyed me for perhaps half a min
ute, his head thrown back, his
wide-spreading antlers just touch
ing the lower branches of a small
pine, his nostrils extended and his
large, luminous, intelligent eyes
studying me curiously; then he
turned quietly and bounded off with
the speed of an express train. |
watched him until he disappeared
| in the underbrush and not until
he was quite lost to sight did it
| OCCUR to me that / had a rifle in
nv hands and had missed an ex-
cellent opportunity to bring down
deer. However, the pangs of
hunger soon asserted themselves
once more, and swallowing my
Ichagrin and disappointment I
again set out for camp.

A good hot supper awaited me,
and after having changed my
clothes and satisfied the inner
man, [ related my experience with
the buck. The boys, of course, all
gave me the laugh and diagnosed
my case as buck fever. I let them
laugh, being quite sure that in
seeing a deer I had done better
than they.
That days experience gave me
all | want of deer hunting. I have
no desire to kill one of the pretty
animals, and SO for the three weeks
we remained in the woods [ kept
within sight of the camp or the
lake and contented myself with
hunting rabbits, cartridges and
other small game, with which the
woods abounded, and by filling the
position of chief cook and bottle
washer. In some miraculous way
my companions killed three deer,
two fawns and large buck, and
the way they boasted of it was
maddening.
When the first heavy frost came
we broke camp and drove back to
Aitkin, where / sold emy4gun and

rolled in the pick of the blankets,
fast asleep.
Explanations were in order and
the father-in-law said he heard the
yell for help and when Bill rushed
in he mistook him for the intruder
and soaked him with an axe hand
le. Just as he fell, I rushed in
and the father-in-law soaked me.
Trying to get more elbow room
for another swing, he stumbled
over tightly-drawn tent rope and
in falling struck his head on the
corner of the oil stove. When we
questioned Mr.. Diggs' brother as
to why he didn't help US, he said
he saw Bill go in and get it good
and hard, then heard me get it,
and he didn't care to mix up with
anyone who could knock 'em out
so fast, even If the man was the
husband of his mother in-law; SO
he went to sleep.
When daylight came we melted
some snow and made some of the
most awful coffee mortal man ever
drank. Yes, [ made it. [ plead

and it warmed us up SO that by

ond days hunt.
Mr.. Diggs' brother said he'd 60
around and drive the game to us.
We waited by big rock for
while and sure enough we heard
Mr.. Digs brother coming. The
game he drove was a stray cow be-
longing to Old Man Mason. Mr..
Diggs' brother said it was the only
thing he could scare up. Now,
you think We shot that COW and
had to pay the farmer? There's
where I fool you. No, sir, we shot
no COW. We got out Of her way
and she passed on up the hill, and
to the best of my belief she lived
to an old age.
Mr.. Diggs' brother said he'd go
and scout for more game. We
trudged around and finally the
father-in-law shot a squirrel; then
Bill Diggs got shot. but as for
me I was only half shot, for it fell
to me to carry the provender.
Now and then we could hear, bang,
bang, and Bill Diggs would say,
"That's him, wasting good ammu-
nition" referring to his brother.

two squirrels and the father-in-

to fire my gun. So pretending to
see squirrel, braced myself and
pointing toward the imaginary
animal I shut both eyes and pulled
the trigger. To this day I believe
Bill Diggs threw rock at me, but
he declares, and SO does the father
in-law, that it was only the gun
registering another kick.
We got to camp and found Mr..
Diggs' brother very busy; he, was
cleaning pheasants. He had four
teen pheasants, a wildcat, 3lsquir-
rels and a ground hog. Talk about
your Kit Carsons! And to cap the
climax he said that about five
miles from camp he had hung up
deer he'd killed and we could
fetch it in tomorrow. And we did.
Yes indeed! A big fine fat buck.
Mr.. Diggs' brother took his sue
cess very coolly, and as a matter
of course. Bill Diggs would look
at his two squirrels and then go

blankets, which we put on the
ground first. On these we put
dry leaves for six inches, then
came the wooden blankets, and
then came us, and then came the
top blankets, and then came the
cold.
Mr.. Diggs' brother said he pre-
ferred to stand first watch and
tend the fire; he was to watch for
two hours, from 10 to IL. About
every ten minutes he wanted to
know the time until Bill Diggs
said it was time to sleep and for
him to shut up. Mr.. Diggs'
brother would walk around the
fire and occasionally would poke
his head into the tent with the
startling information, "All's wellp
Just when we were about asleep,
he insisted that it was IL O'Clock
and Bill took his place. Mr.. Diggs'
brother con6ded to me in whispers
that Bill was a rank coward and
suggested that we scare him. As

and together we formed our plan.

were hidden from him by the trees
and his outlines were very distinct
in the fire lights glow. He was
sitting on stone in front of the
fire and was half asleep. Mr..
Diggs' brother gave one or two
tame yowls for practice and Bill
aroused himself. Pretty soon he
stood up and grabbed his gun.

A Deer Hunt.

In the fall of '96 my brother and
I decided to go into Northern
Minnesota on deer hunt. Think
ing that it would be cheaper and
more pleasant to drive than to go
by train, we secured q pony and
blackboard at small cost. Our
camping outfit consisted of some
blankets, a frying pan. butcher
knife and some salt pork, and for
arms and ammunition we had a To-
gauge shotgun and 100 shells load
ed with fine shot. We left Mime
apolis on bright, crisp day about
the middle Of October, both of US
in the best of spirits with more in
a Jug stored away at our feet.
The drive between Minneapolis
and Brainerd was perfect. The
weather was fine, and as we shot
a few quail and cartridges along
the road and bought bread, milk,
ETC., from farmers, we managed to
fare pretty we'll. We passed many
corn fields, SO our pony had no
lack of fodder but waxed fat along
with his masters. As we neared
Brainerd, on the tenth day of our
trip, it commenced to rain. The
night was falling, and as we lacked
funds to put up at an hotel, we
drove through the town until we
came to an old, deserted house in
which we camped for the night.
It was a poor excuse for shelter.
The rooted leaked like sieve, and
before morning we were as wet as
drowned rats and chilled to the
bone. Anything more in that
jug?" asked my brother, "I'm
about frozen" We investigated
and found that the spirit of the
jug had departed, so we breakfast
ed morosely on rain-soaked bread
and bologna sausage.
Breakfast over, we pushed on to
Aitkin, thirty miles beyond, and
after a series of mishaps that were
heartrending, we arrived there clad
in mud from head to foot. Hap
PLY we had a friend living in the
town, at whose house we were in
vited to stay, and you may be sure
we offered no objections to his
proffered hospitality. We soon
learned that if we were to do any
execution among the deer we would
have to use something besides
shotgun, so we traded our pony
for a Marlin rifle and sold the
buck board for enough money to
buy ammunition. Then we joined
a party of three hunters from Iowa.
The next day the weather cleared,
and we started bright and early
intending to reach the head of the
Mississippi before night, out the
roads were SO bad and the mud SO
deep that after going twenty miles
we decided to pitch camp on the
shore of small lake. We found
hunting shack unoccupied and
took possession of it at once. 1t
contained sheet iron stove and
two hunks were built against one
end of it.
Not one of our party had ever
seen a deer in it's wild state, but
that did not prevent us from CIV
ing our views on the proper way
to hunt them. No two theories
were alike, but all agreed that deer,
like fish, must be hunted in the
early morning, so the next day
saw us out in the woods before 5
O'Clock. We didn't stop to eat
anything as we intended to have
venison for breakfast. Our plan
was to form circle about mile
in diameter, to close in slowly and
exterminate every deer in the cir
Gle, but before we had been sepa-

Plans Upset by Movements of General

unable to reform their plans, which
have been upset by General Kurok,

passing any communications. The
secret police are extra diligent and 1t
is extremely hazardous to attempt TO
send out uncensored dispatches.
Newchwang is filled with rumors of
more fighting to the southwark. The
reports come from native sources. A
few Russian officers, who talk guard
.edly, say that the rumors are untrue,
but that General Kuropatkin intends
to make determined stand at Kai-

laid and trenches constructed.
