that his mother and sister have
passed away.
For fourteen years Lathrop had not
heard from his relatives and it was
generally believed he was dead. La
thrOp was travelling on the road for
a milling company, but little of his
money, it is said went for the COM
forts of his family; in fact, he did
very little to support them, and they
were left more or less to their own
devices.
Starting out on one of his trips.
he left home fourteen years ago and
never returned until now, not even
writing home or giving any clew to
his whereabouts. Two weeks ago he
returned to his home at Appleton. and
informed his son Alfred, who is en-
ployed in a railroad office at Milwau-
kee, of his desire to renew his stand

ing with his family. His son notified
him of his acceptance after writing
to his sisters. Misses Hazel and Ber-
nice Lathrop of this city. The meet
ing occurred at Summit, S. d., where
Lathrop has brother teaching school.
Mr. Lathrop started for the Klon-
dixie with $50 in cash, and on reach
ing Seattle he was without funds, but
was taken through by a party of
friends who were making the trip to-
gether. On reaching the gold fields
the party went 5000 miles into the
interior and started operations
had amassed $4,000, and with that
he started back home. On reaching
Ketchikan he was taken sick with
the scurvy and for one year he lay
in the hospital When he came out
he said he did not have a dollar left
OF his small fortune. There was moth
Ing for him to do but to make the
start all over again, and he met with
better results. He secured a number
OF mines that were profitable and sold
out some Of them for 100000. retain
ing about thirty, which he still owns.
besides owning bank at Ketchikan.
TWO years ago, prompted by the
love that he still bore for his family.
he decided to return to his old home.
He reached Seattle and there learned
that his wife had obtained a divorce
and had been married again With
out more ado Mr.. Lathrop retraced
his steps to the Klondike. After two
years his wealth had increased to a
larger sum, and again the longing
came over him to see his relatives.
and two weeks ago he reached his
former home at Appleton.
After his meeting with his children
he took them to Appleton, which visit.
however, was saddened by the death
of his mother and his sister. He
brought home golden gifts for them
and was grieved to find that they
were not there to receive them.
Lathrop is now thoroughly
changed man and leads a Christian
life. At Seattle and in Alaska he has
given large sums of money to aid
in church work.
Three years after Mr.. Lathrop went
away his wife obtained a divorce on
the ground of desertion, and moved
to Ashton, S. d., and made her home
with relatives. Nine years ago she
was married to /. W. Seaman of
Aberdeen, a wealthy ranch and stock
owner, who has a handsome residence
near the business district. The two
daughters will continue to make their
residence with him.
Mr. LathrOp expressed himself to
his daughters as being satisfied with
his lot and does not blame any mem
Der of the family for all that has
taken place. AS soon as he finishes
his business in this country, which is
to buy an immense quantity of ma
chinery for his mining plants, he will
return to the Klondike country.

OF the male bluebird Thoreau said:

earth on his breast The birds back,
wings and tail, chin and throat are
vivid blue, while his breast and TANKS
are chestnut brown and his abdomen
a dirty white. The female is very
much duller in coloring, often having
a reddish tone that extends from the
middle Of the back over the shoulder.
The Seminole Indians say that the
male bluebird once flew so high that
his back rubbed against the sky,
which impaired to him it's own azure
tint. Returning to earth, his wife so
admired his new coat that she deter
mined to have like one for herself

cloudy, the color given to her dress
was not so brilliant as was that re-
