GRIT IS KEYNOTE OF HER SUCCESS

and Made Success Out of

Most women left widow with several
small children and a mortgaged farm, like

despair. Here is the story of resolute
woman who did neither-she titled the
farm, paid for il and bought another
How she accomplished this wonderful
transformation is story, the keynote of
which is grit. True, there was much in
dustry and meriocre ability aligned with
the grit, yet but for the grit the other
qualities would have counted for naught.
This woman is Mrs, j. G. Van Pilsum
of Leighton, la. Thirteen years ago her
struggles began. Today she has a bank
account her children are educated and
she is happy in the possession of plenty.
She is not affluent, as money is measured
in this money age, but plenty" in Iowa

At the beginning of her widowhood she

Miss Florence Luscomb of Allston needed
no time for elaboration before giving her
ideas upon this matter. In the ideal con-
dition of things, she told me, a woman
would feel quite as free to ask man TO
marry her as does the ardent wooers of
today to press his privilege.
Miss Luscomb is one Of the new women
so to speak. She was graduated last year
from the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology, where she took honors in the archi-
tectufal course. AS a speaker at the open
afr suffrage meetings she has made many
converts to the cause, and she has sold
suffrage literature on the street corners,
and even tramped many weary hours at

plotting the suffrage meetings. Tx

Miss Luscomb. II believe IL would, be far
nobler for a woman to go at once to the

Smoke consumers are used with success
in many of the large cities of our conn

from ordinary heating plants burning
coal or wood. Smelter smoke contains
fumes and gases from the roasting ores,
aud thus far the human mind has failed
to find an influence that will combat
the poisonous effect of the smoke which
fills the atmosphere in the vicinity of
every smelter.
This million-dollar reward for the

many times that amount fighting dam

which dooms MS to dust. We flourish
and fade as the leaves of the forest, and
the flowers that bloom and wither in q
day have no Trailer hold upon life than
the mightiest monarch that ever shook

as the grass. and the multitude that
throng the world to-day will disappear
as the footsteps on the shore. Men
seldom think of the great svent Of death
until the shadow falls across their own
pathway, hiding from their eyes the
faces Of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the antagonist of life, and the
cold thought Of the tomb is the skeleton

TO SETTLE LAND CASES
). z. Arranging to Deed Back to
Government All Lands That
Have Mineral Locations

Reno. Nevada. September 26-The
southern Pacific Company and the
United States Government are now
arranging for the settlement of the
rs land cases in this State, and also
for the turning over to the Govern.
ment by the Southern Pacific of all
land known to be mineral. Charles
Levers. who has been defending cases
brought by the Government against
the Southern Pacific, and Frank Hall,
special prosecutor for the Government.
have been in San Francisco for some
days and with other Government and
Southern Pacific attorneys have been
negotiating these settlements.
IL Is now the offer of the railroad
company, which the Government will
undoubtedly accept. to deed back to
the Government all land which had q
mineral location Of any kind upon it
at the time the Southern Pacific pat
ented it, or which was at that time
known to be mineral in character. II
this proposition is accepted 1t will
mean that thousands of acres of rich
mineral land now either owned or
claimed by the railroad company will
be given back to the Government and
thus turned over to The People to
prospect. At the present time the Buck
Iugalls cases of Olinghouse Canyon,
are not being considered. but il an
agreement is reached these cases will
be included.
The Government has accused the
Southern Pacific Of gaining this land
by patents secured with fraudulent af.
fdavits that the land was non mineral.
The position of the Government now
is that the land was patented by the
railroad company through inadvertence
and mistake.
