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 STAY, cut kill, main and drown

lowers of the prophet. The hunted Ar

gees. In anticipation of an attack Oh

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. earlier left her infant
son with nurse and took charge of

ed the side and rear Of the house. The
sand bags kept the windows. The
front dohr was strong and had chains
across. 1t was opened just sufficiently
to admit the passage Of the nose of

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.

Woman Trader In a Mining Camp.

In 1893 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 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, end Mrs. Hutcheon was
obliged to Go 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. Bier first store in Dawson
was q tent She next built a frame
house and established in 1t the princi-
pal dry goods and millinery house in
Dawson. Her pluck and shrewdness
have been amply rewarded. She ex-
poets to open a branch establishment
in the Tanana district. She follows the
mining booms.

The Daughter Of Old John Brown.

Quietly, aloof from the world. all
alone in a cottage at the foot of the
mountains in Santa Clara county, Cal,
lives Miss Sarah Brown, the daughter
of John Brown Of Ossawattomie. OF
John Browns twenty-one children she
is the seventeenth. In 1874 Mrs. Brown
and six children Travelled across the
plains from Kansas to California. They
finally settled On some land In Santa
Clara county and planted orchards
One by one the brothers and sisters
married and dropped away, leaving Sa-
rah and her mother to take care of the
farm, which they did, Mrs. Brown at
tending to the house, Sarah doing the
farm work. Then Mrs. Brown died, too,
and the lonely daughter, approaching
middle age, was left all alone. She
plows, prunes the trees and attends to
the chickens. Yet with ali her toll she
has never yet become rich enough to
buy the little fruit farm, but rents It
from year to year. .

ground up. Hitherto the duke has been
more Of an adept at spending money
than earning it. He and his wife have
been travelling in the United States and
Mexico. After summering at his Eng
lish estate, Kimbolton castle, he ex-
poets to return to America and begin
his apprenticeship with a railroad il
the middle west. He will not wear
overalls and fire an engine, however.
The duke married Miss Helen Tim
norman Of Cincinnati, daughter of Eu-
gene Zimmerman, multimillionaire and
owner of controlling interests in sew
eral railroads. He naturally expects
that his father-in-law's knowledge and
experience in railroad matters will
stand him in good stead in his own ad-
vancement in that field Of enterprise
The duke and duchess have two chill

of three, and baby boy about yea:

A friend of mine, a great big stun
