Woman Trader In a Mining Camp.

In 1898 Mrs. r. S. Hutcheon of Chi
cago learned that there was need of
such small necessities as pins, needles
and thread in the mining towns of
Alaska. They were worth almost their
weight in gold and scarcely to be had
at that
Mrs. Hutcheon has the commercial
talent. She selected q small stock of
goods adapted to the exigency and
went with them to Dawson over the
perilous route by land and down the
Yukon river 1t was a bad trip for
hardship, and Mrs Hutcheon was
obliged to do much mental sciencing of
herself to keep her courage up. But
she sold her goods at gold dust prices,
catching the mining town exactly on
the boom.
The enterprising woman merchant
came back for more goods and sold
them too. Her first store in Dawson
was tent She next built frame
house and established in it the princi-
pal dry goods and millinery house in
Dawson. Her pluck and shrewdness
have been amy rewarded She ex-
poets to open branch establishment
in the Tanana district. She follows the
mining booms.

herself being carried down a fight of

Alas, she was bound too securely!
Finally the conveyance stopped. She
was again carried Into building,
faintin9 and gasping for breath. The
sack was taken from her head. The

Both Won.

A judge in a certain court has his
own quick way of getting into the
heart of case The following is told
as true story:
The lawyer for the plaintiff had just
finished presenting his argument, and
as he mopped his brow and sat down
the judge stared at him admiringly
with wide eyes and open mouth. Then
he turned to the other lawyer, who
had risen to his feet.
Defendant needn't plead. Plaintiff
wins" he shouted.
But, your honor" protested the
lawyer, ''let me at least present my
case.o
The judge looked weary. well, go
ahead" he grunted.
So the lawyer for the defendant went
ahead. When he had finished the judge
looked at him, too, with wide eyes
and open mouth.
Don't it beat the Dutch" he ex-
claimed Defendant wins" = New

Honor, but Nine. earlier is the only
one of her sex to whom the cross has
| been awarded.
Her husband was French consul at
SiWas, Asiatic Turkey, among the Ar
menians. His young wife had accom-
panied him to the consulate, though
both knew the danger in case of a
clash between Turks and Armenians.
The clash came. Maddened Turks be-
gan to slay, cut, kill, MAIN and droWa
Christian 4Armenians in the manner
approved by the fanatical among fol-
lowers of the prophet. The hunted Ar
menians took refuge in the French con-
sulate. The Carriers prepared to de-
fend both themselves and the refu-
gees. In anticipation of an attack on
the consulate by Turkish mob Nine
earlier had filled bags with sand,
enough of them to barricade her win
dows. Under the direction of a faith
full old servant she also learned to
shoot, becoming an expert.
The mob came, laundering at the
doors, bowling and hurting stones and
sticks. Nine. Carrier left her infant
son with nurse and took charge Of
the main entrance. Her husband guard
ed the side and rear of the house. The
sand bags kept the windows. The
front door was strong and had chains
across. 1t was opened just sufficiently
to admit the passage of the nose of
rife or revolver. Behind that door as
the thrilling moments passed stood the
hero woman with her death spouting
weapons, picking off every Turk that
came in range. At length the mob re
tired, and Nine. earlier went at once
to her baby. She found the baby had
cut his first tooth.
For her brave work Nine. Emile Car
lier wears the cross of the Legion Of
Honor.

.-ss STANCES
Deering, multimilhonaire, went home
convinced that at times money is a
drawback. 49, -sEsssasssse.s--
When George Seers, Betty's father,
had died suddenly no one had sus-
pected that he was financially crippled.
But such had proved the case. His
widow had found herself bereft Of
everything, but she had cared only as
it had affected her daughter. They
had moved into a tiny fat Aid pTac-
ticed rigid economy. Mrs Seers had
believed it only. a passing phase for
Betty. behring's devotion was well
known. and she approved Of him.
Then suddenly Betty had announced
her determination to join the army of
independent women and become a
wage Garner, She had kept her plans
to herself, fearing that her efforts
might prove fruitless. AS an amateur
actress she had won recognition, SO,
naturally, it was to the stage that she
turned in her need. After anxious
days of uncertainty she obtained the
coveted contract. She was engaged at
small salary to understudy promi-
nent actress, then playing a successful
engagement in the city.
Just think, Muzzie, could anything
be easier? Night and matinee re-
port one hour before the play, remain
awhile and then come home, earning
thereby on Saturdays fat envelope
to meet the bills"
''You are such featherbrain. You
will tire Of work and lose Bob with
your whims."
Betty made a grimace. DO you
think | could? I'd appreciate him
more if | believed it possible. Bob is
so hopelessIy mine"
The next week Betty,s occupation
began. la the morning she attended
rehearsal and spent long hours in be-
ing drilled and coached by an irasci-
BILE stage manager. In the afternoon
she studied by herself. When she had
mastered the lines perfectly she com
menced reporting at each performance.
AT first she felt her Importance. But
as the weeks passed into months, and
the leading woman remained unnatu-
rally healthy, doubts of her own useful
ness discouraged the girl. The only
comfort was the envelope" She miss
ed her friend and-Bob. She had not
seen or heard anything Of him in two
months.
One afternoon as she brooded over
these things Deering entered as though
there had been no lapse of time.
"Oh, Bob-Bob'- If Deering had
absented himself for a purpose it was
answered In Betty's glad cry. He
looked supremely happy.
Now you just must come to dine
with me- he declared The invitation
was accepted. Deering, Betty and her
mother were soon seated at coy
table in fashionable hotel
How good it tastes cried Betty.
TITS SO long since I've really dined Z
Fer spirits ran riot, her eyes grew
bright as they had not been for DAYS.

now re-publish it that our people
may know how it was the Com
mission heard Of Indian Fields:
"We understand the location oi

Indian Fields, Holly Wood, Oil

Kentucky for its location, and il
Lexington, Winchester, Rich

Jackson and Mt. Sterling would
take up the matter and make a
strong pull for it, we could get it.
Indian Fields and the country sur
rounding is one Of the most beau

in the State, with plenty Of water,

rounded by one.half days ride to
the best cities in the Blue Grass
region. We suggest to the May
ors Of the cities named to take up
the matter with the proper author

This article was copied by nu-

now it appears that Indian Fields
is finding favor with the Commits
