clrIs and outdoor Games.

Women, in their ambition to be ath-
letic contend against innumerable diff
ficulties. One OF these difficulties is
skirts, a second is waists, and a third
almost insuperable-is hair, includ-
ing hairpins.
Watch a girl playing tennis or crick.
ct and after a more than usually bril-.
liant effort she invariably puts her
hands to her head, as If she expected
something to fall OF If she did not. En-
ergetic play. is usually attended by
dishevelment of the unruly locks and
a shedding of hairpins that causes the
pretty athlete distress.
Her pleasure in the game is marred
by a sense OF insecurity and con-
slant fear of consequences. No wom-
an can WELD a racquet or essay a run
with an undivided mind. Half her
brain is occupied by the fearful sur
mise that her hair is coming down
a surmise, by the way, which is prob
ably too painfully justified by the fact

~ Marguerite should
S'~''us' have RAPED the
result of her years of plotting.-But
she did not. Henry, instead Of making
her queen Of France, divorced her.
Having saved his life and then having
helped him to achieve the highest
point Of his ambition, she was cast on.
Marguerite does not seem to have
mourned greatly over this ingratitude.
She was allowed to keep her title OF
Queen of Navarro" and received a
yearly income on which she maintain
ed q little court Of her own In Paris.
Her palace became the resort OF learn
ing and fashion. She spent so much
money in keeping up this private es-
adjustment that Henry's misery soul
was sorely vexed. Yet he and she al
ways remained good friends. He con-
stantly came to her for advice ana
aid in matters of diplomacy. She
lived to see Henry's wise rule lift
France to the foremost place among
Europe's nations. The king, after d.
vorcing Marguerite, married Marie de
Medici, an Italian woman, and rela--
tive to the Catherine de Medici who
had sought his death.
Henry was assassinated while still
in the height of his career. Marie de
Medici is thought by many historians
to have caused his murder. Thus the
change Of wives profited him little and
Marguerite was (somewhat tardily)
avenged for his desertion.

/ let the dog, who was. he hoped, faith
full, forget his name.
He found a man brave enough to
start with this and other letters to
the world below, one who would see
that needed supplies were started for
"the creek" The mail carrier was
outfitted with team and provisions
and started of on the bitter journey;
halfway down he and his dogs froze
to death, the snow covered them, and
only the north wind heard those mes
sages sent by loyal hearts.
So this was why no word from Can
die creek reached the woman waiting
at Nome.
The man in the north, unaware OF
the fate of the mail carrier, awaited
the opening Of spring as best he
could; then, with scant outfit for the
journey, he made his way back to
Nome, penniless and with everything
gone but the dear hope Of welcome.
And, at the last, he found the bitter
ness of Neutrality-suspicious., wife.
home, money-dreams only, and the
only real thing the taunts Of his neigh
bors because of his wife's desertion.
There was q busy grocer In Nome
who owned a wildcat claim in which
he had no confidence, but he offered
to the man who was so evidently
down on his luck a grub stake" and
a half interest In the claim II he
would do the assessment work on It.
So. as life must be lived. this was .
means of supporting it, and that sum-
mer was nearly passed at the claim
when a fresh stampede to Fairbanks
was on. The man determined to fol-
low 1t, and for half of his half Of the
wildcat claim he persuaded an old
man to remain in charge Of the nee
essary work to hold 1t.
The man who had lost everything
except the life which, apparently, he
could not lose-possibly because It
was of so little value-was numb. Dis
aster seemed to be acting as the
special agent of the gods who
would destroy him, and he was list
lessly wondering If he had even the
power Of suffering left, when In q
Fairbanks street he met a lawyer
from Nome, who casually inquired
concerning the wildcat claim he had
worked there and, without special ur.
gency, offered him $4,000 for his In
terest in 1t. A ghost Of his old busi-
ness instinct reminded him that there
might be meaning in this, and, au-
tomatically, he postponed an answer
until the following day. He wired the
busy grocery man In Nome, who re.
piled at once, Don't sell; we've
struck the richest claim on earth"
So it was good-by to Fairbanks. and
good morrow to Nome. where. on his
arrival, he hurried to the once de-
spised wildcat. tool one good look
down the. shaft and another at the
gravel pile, borrowed easy money on
his prospects, and sailed away south
on the next steamer-somewhat dis.
concerning the grocery man, but not
affecting the output Of the claim.
To the northwestern city, with .
certain address In his pocket. went
the man from the north. It was the
right address, too. because. before he
could reach the door, there was q
fnsIllade Of short, sharp. joyful barks
and q white. shaggy Siberian mala-
mute had nearly thrown him down be-
fore the door was flung open and the
little woman was ~ bis arms.

a love that was faithful unto death
that his body, in its life-like present

as, living, he might often have had
his part in.
1t is just tale Of the north that is

and at the last victory. There was a
man who was going to Monet was
several years ago-and while he lin

little widow, an absolutely nice, capti-
waiting and lonesome little widow of
doctor who had left her a few thou
sand dollars and a daughter, says Isa-
bel H. Raymond in the New York
Tribune.
They married. The man had invest
ed most of his capital in his outfit for
the white north. but that was small
matter; the little woman had some,
and they were going together. and 1t
would be all his. The doctors
daughter was placed in school and the
two new comrades sailed away for
Nome. There they made such home
as might be made in those days, by
the tundra side, and though there was
not much else in It there were love
and comfort. For household pet and
companion the man gave to his wife
a young Siberian malamute-that curl
Gus cross between a wolf and a dog,
which is sometimes a faithful friend
and sometimes a savage enemy. This
one, as he grew into shaggy white
symmetry and strength, proved true
gold. and was much beloved by both
the man and the woman.
Then there came the Candle creek
rush, that stampede which drove men
to the northernmost gold fields of the
world and half depopulated Nome.
The man and the woman, debating
but briefly, decided that he should
take this chance at fortunes wheel
So the winter grew, but no word
came out from Candle creek and only

Voters, Which of the Two VIII

Two days after the publication of
my letter to the public expressing
the irregularity and snap of my
opponent, Hon. E. r. Shaw, he APP
preached me in the presence of two
of his friends, and both of us dis
cussed slightly our difference OF opin-
ION. At the suggestion of Mr.. Shaw
we naturally agreed to disagree and
nave it out in a friendly way, not
knowing at the time | would be

because of the wrong that had been
committed.
In less than a week after this
friendly agreement, which l then
had no reason to believe would nos
be carried out by my opponent, I
received from all parts Of the dis
trict more than fifty letters appeal
ing to me to make the race for the
senate, which, of course, | took I'M
der consideration, and after due de
liberation, decided, from a sense of
duty, to oppose an open wrong and
a violation of law that right might
prevail III our united and peaceful
community. l consented to take the
fight in hand, and up to this time
my part Of the agreement with my
opponent has been kept Has he
| kept his part? ] leave it with you
to decide which can be relied on to
best carry out his pledges to the
people,

tin an early start on the morning of
the primary and on their way to
the polls try to gather up a few"
more, and all day long get what

let us show Shaw after the ballots

Philatheas Pass Resolutions on Re-
mOval of Mr.. and Mrs. Davis.

Pmlatheas Pass Resolutions on Re-
moval of Mr.. and Mrs. Davis.
We note with deep regret the de-
parture of Mr.. and Mrs w. H. Davis,
dear Mother" Davis and Wilmer
from our midst. They go to make
their home in the city of Atlanta.
Mr.. Davis as an honored deacon of
our church and as superintendent
OF our Sunday school was a most
valuable and valued man. His inter-
est in the work was unfaltering, his
energies untiring, indeed as citi-
zen and christian he was an import
ant and helpful factor in whatever
looked to the upbuilding of Dawson
and the advancement of the Lords
cause in our toWn--"A true man is
the noblest work OF. God AS a
class we are deeply indebted to Mr..
Davis for his. ready sympathy, wise
counsel and unfailing cooperation
in whatever we have undertaken in
the Masters great work
Mrs Davis was born and reared
in Dawson, the gem city of the south
west, and her friends are numbered
by those who know her. She is held
in high esteem by the people of Daw-
sOn-her childhood home We ap-
preciate her faithful work and
splendid leadership as our class pres
ident. Only one time during the
year was she absent from the class
room when we met on Sunday morn
ings to study the Book of books,
and then it was a PrOyidential him
drance. She was alert and interest
ed in the great work of women at
work for women, and the reflex in
fluence on her own life was the I'M
folding and beautiful development of
her christian character.
Resolved first, That our prayers,
confidence and love go with Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis into their new home and
new sphere of usefulness. Mizpah-
THE Lord watch between me and
thee when we are absent one from
the other3'
Resolved second, That we com
mend this fine family to the conf
dence and esteem of the christian
people among whom their lot will
be cast
Resolved third, That these resoIu-
lions be spread on a page of our
class record that a copy be sent
to Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, and copy
be sent to The Dawson News with a
request for publication.
