MISS Marie Gilloy, of Saskatchewan,
Is one of the most famous woman set
tiers of the west. She put her last
smiling into prairie farm and spent
seven years in a hand-to-hand tussle
with fortune, sitting on her own bind
er. cutting her own grain, handling
the pillow in the furrow and doing
stable duty. In 1906 her holding ex-
cited the admiration of a young En-
glfShman, and Miss Gilroy was induce
ed to hand over lock, stock and barref
to him for the round sum of SIS, 900.
Today Miss Gilroy is touring Europe
on the proceeds of her original 1000.
Mrs. McGilVray, who came to the
Canadian west twenty years ago with
six small children, is another promi-

Beginning almost penniless, her $50
acres of homestead have now grown
to an 500 acre estate, and her children
are settled round her in comfort and
affluence

FAST AUTO DIDN'T COME.
j. A. Whitman Won't Smash Denver
Record-Not Now.

The fast motor run to Denver from
Kansas City scheduled to start this
morning is to be delayed for day or
two on account of the condition of the
roads. Mr.. J. A. Whitman of Kansas
City is~t make the run covering the
W13 miles in 81 hours. Three stops
will be made for gasoline but none are
scheduled besides these. Meals will
be eaten while the car is in motion
and two big headlights will make
night running possible. An average
speed of 80 miles an hour must be
maintained throughout the journey
and this Mr.. Whitman thinks can be
easily done. At some parts of the
Journey much slower time will be
necessary. but at others so miles an
hour will be made without much
trouble. Mr.. Whitman is very conf
dent of making the run as planned
since others have accomplished the
distance in a little more than 80 hours
by taking it in easy stages. The car
is all in trim ready for the start as
soon as it is thought the roads will
warrant making it. Henry Gilmore, a
chauffeur at the garage, will accom-
pany Mr.. Whitman and take his turn
at the wheel in order that the strain
OF the run Will be lightened.

Chicago. Aug. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is
made in Zion City that arrangements
practically have been completed for
the sale of the lace factory to a well
known local dry goods firm for ap-
proximately $4,000. 1t was said

fore Judge Lands of the United
States court on Monday.
1t is declared that the purchaser
will make arrangements at once to
improve and extend the plant, at a
cost Of $1,000,000 and operate it day
and night to it's full capacity.
The reputed sale carries with it the
lease restrictions prohibiting liquor or
tobacco on the premises or the use of
profane language by the employees. 1t
had been supposed that in order that
the sale might not be hampered that
these restrictions would be removed.
Receiver Hately. it is said, Will ap-
ply the necessary portion of the pro-
ceeds of the sale to remove the I'M
derlying mortgages in Zion City, ag-
gregating $145,000.

You Really Must Stop Paining Henry
James.

Mr.. Henry James continues his des-
perate task of reforming the women
Of America. 1t is their manners that
concern him now, and he writes of
them, sadly but frankly. Says he in
Harper's Bazaar:
Let me thus then. making my
image comprehensive, invite it to cover
the case of the whole social opportun-
ity of women in our rough American
world-that world indeed whose ap-
parently admirable capacity for still
feeding inEunlerable millions makes
us even yet resent the application to
its liberality of any invidious epithet.
We have to breathe low that it is
rough, and that the free hand we have
done much less than we might have
dreamed to smooth it: we otherwise
invite ourselves to taste overmuch of
certain forms of the roughness. This,
however, is a trif1e. if we only sue
coed il insisting, insisting with lu-
cidity; than which there is no better
way. doubtless, than to appeal with
oirectness. Directness is achieved, ac-
cordingly, when this petition to the
against her misguided self, and
when it is asked of her to recognize.
not that her path is more lighted than
that of her downtrodden sisters in
other worlds, but that she literally
stands in need of three times their suf-
ficiency of admonition.
at is, in other words, not three
times easier for her to please and
Eoothe and happily to exemplify but
three times more difficulty reason
of the false lights that have multiplied
about her and that an atmosphere alb
solutely uncritical has done nothing
to extinguish.''

FACTS ABOUT BUTTE;RMnK.
At One Time Waste Product, It's
Value Now Understood.

Long before Fairbanks learned to
milk a COW the buttermilk cocktail

tonic it is superior to everything alco-

rival. A glass. A cube of dill pickle
A lump of ice. Buttermilk to the
brim. Quaff and rejoice. Such a drink
would not hurt the chances of any
prospective candidate for president.
There are sweet buttermilk and
sour buttermilk. Let the former Sc
