Women True to Them SEW s.


Mr.. John NJ. Coulter, head of the
department of botany of the Chicago
University, who with his wife and chill
dren was on the Inflated Republic,
says that the heroic conduct of the
women was something that can never
be forgotten. When the order came
to put on life preservers the women
put them on as coolly as if they were
shirt waists. There was no fainting,
no panic and they even joked among
themselves to conceal any fear they
might have as they adjusted the IN
usual preservers. They conducted
themselves, he says, in manner to
make one forever proud of American
womanhood. 1t gave one an under
standing of the nobility of woman's
nature, he declared, that does not pre-
sent itself often in an ordinary life
time.

that about $40, 600 has been subscribed

never do things by halves. They not

In April, the Lapp lets his reindeer
bose to wander as they please, and
when the mosquitoes begin to abound
(about midsummer) collects his herd
simply by catching one deer, fitting it
with a bell and trusting to instinct
(Which leads the animals to gather
into herds for protection against the
mosquitoes) TO do the rest In cool
summer, when mosquitoes are few,
this instinct does not come into play,
and it is almost impossible to bring
