CARRIED AS EVE,
SHE WILL ROAM
ALONE IN W|LDS
Daring Girl viii Take No Pro-
visions or Firearms on Two
Months Adventure.
DOES NOT SEEK NOT0RIETY
Declares She Will Return to Civ
iization Fully CIad-Is Ex-
pert in Woodcraft.

PORTLAND, Maine. Feb =
CARRIED only in the original attire of
Mother Eve. Miss Bana Douglass, of
Stratton, will enter the dense woods
of Franklin County and remain there
two months some time this year She
will take neither weapons, clothing
nor provisions, but will trust to her
woodcraft and her know edge of game
to enable her to live. She is fear
less ranger of the forests, and her
friends say she will accomplish her
difficult task
Miss Douglass declares she will en-
as scantily clad as when she was
born, and will come forth at the end
of the two months fully clothed in
such garb as she can obtain in the
woodlands.
Fear of no modern Actaeon seems
to enter her mind Miss Douglass
greatly prefers the woods and fields
and streams, with their hunting, free
dom and fishing, t. love romance,
Learned From Father.
Since childhood the girl has fol-
lowed her father hundreds of miles in
the woods, has absorbed his fund of
wood lore and has studied the for
ests and inland waters with their
teeming life. The father is an eX-
pert shot, trapper, fisherman and
guide, and just now he, another man
and Miss Douglass are across the Ca
madam border on a shooting trip.
Miss Douglass knows every kind OF
tree and bird and animal to be found
in the Dead River region of this
State; knows every sort of animal OF
the field and river banks, and every
variety of fish frequenting Carrabas-
sett River and the soeth and north
branches of the Dead River itself, in
her home district. She knows all
their habits and peculiarities and has
no fear Of life alone among them for
two months.
To Guard Against lntruders.
From her home town north to the
Canadian border no pond, stream or
trail is unknown 10 this twentieth
century Diana, and the crack of her
rife almost always brings down that
at which she aims. With her knowl-
edge of the woods and game, ability
with a gun and endurance, she is
ideally equipped for her coming ad-
venture.
Miss Douglass last summer carried
the mails over the rural route from
Stratton to and through neighboring
settlements for upward of 20 miles
and in all sorts of weather and under
many difficulties She is not of large
frame, but is strong and agile, the
simple life of the backWoOds serving
in the 20 years of her life to conserve
her strength and build up rugged
constitution.
The girl seeks no notoriety in the
venture she will make, and in all
probability the outside world will
never know she has completed her
two months and live with the forest
dangers until the time is up. I'm
wished for attention may be attract
ed by the venture. but the girls fam
lily will guard against intruders.

he shouts "partiality." and claims un-
fairness. He does everything except
the things he should do. He Is his own
worst enemy.
Shun the knocker as you would the
plague. Keep way from him. Don't
lunch with him. Don't walk home with
him. Despise him.
Perhaps some of his fault finding
is based upon fact. and maybe some
of his knocks have reason behind
them; but whether he be right or
wrong. the very spirit of knocking
stands for failure.
The knocker only noe himself.
and those who are foolish enough to
get within range of his knocks He Is
not likely to hold his position long.
n 1T is absolutely certain that his
pay will never be raised. He either
ure. He has no friends. and no listen
ers save those of his kind. who pro-
gress downward because they would
rather work hard at kicking and
knocking than use their energy in
getting up instead of staying down.
Lots of folks overwork. trying not to
work. Their kicks kick back and their
knocks knock EN- out.
The knocker is a plain and simple
fool of the most conventional type OF
everyday idiocy. He hasn't a single
redeeming quality. He would be bet
ter of, and the world would be bet
ter off. IL the world would take him
by the nape of the nee and pitch him
overheard, with apologies to the re-
ceiving water.
Knocking knocks the props from

firm is the most disreputable one in

motion is we'll nigh impossible. He
objects to discipline. thinks that the
